OPIUM SMOKERS
WAIT ON WILEY
WITH DOCTORS DECISION RESTS
FUTURE INDULGENCE OF THE
PIPE ORGANIZERS.

SAN FRANCISCO, December g.
1t has been decided by Collector Of
the Port Stratton that opium in ware
house may be delivered, despite the
order of DR.. Wiley of the pure food
laboratory. This means that there is
a years supply of poppy dreams for
the San Francisco Orientals still with
in their reach. There is no more
afloat
Heretofore shipments of opium have
been made every three months. The
last consignment was brought by the
Mongolia. The Tenyo Maru brought
none.
At Shanghai the International Opium
Commission is meeting to agree on
three things-and in it are represent
ed practically all of the civilized ma
tons of the world-first, that the con-
vening powers prohibit the expectation
of opium; second, that they penalize
any power violating this agreement;
third, that they penalize any transpor-
tation company which carries opium.
While the Opium Commission is
supposed to be still in session, the
spirit of it's deliberations has been
grasped by DR.. Wiley, and through the
United States Government, the en-
barge has been placed on the black
smoke" ta
1t is possible that DR.. Wiley may
extend his embargo to cover the
opium in bonded warehouses, and this
feature is disturbing the Chinese quar-
ter If he does this, there is no sal
walton.
On the other hand, if he allows the
Collector to act at will. the $4,000
pounds of opium now in bonded ware
houses will be admitted to distribu-
ton, and there it will end.

CONGRESS BEGINS ITS GRIND
Many Bills Are lntroduced-Short
Sessions in Both Houses.

Washington, d. C.-There was
pail of sadness over the United States
senate Monday when it convened for
the second session of the Sixtieth
congress, which was due to the
absence of the late Senator Allison of
Iowa, who died last August after
service of over 35 years in that body.
James Bryce, the British ambassador;
Tang Shao vi, special envoy of the
Chinese empire; Prince Tsai and
others of his suite occupied seats in
the reservation set aside for the dip
lomatic corps.
The procedure in the opening of the
new session was simple and dignified,
following long established precedent.
Vice President Fairbanks called the
senate to order and Rev. Edward
Everett Hale opened the session with
prayer. Senators Aldrich, Gallinger
and Teller were appointed in pursu.
ance of a resolution offered by Senator
Hale, to wait upon the president and
inform him that congress was ready to
receive his annual message.
After being in session an hour, half
of which time was consumed by a roll
call, the house of representatives,
which met at noon Monday for the
second session of the Sixtieth con-
gress, adjourned out of respect to the
memory of several of it's own mem.
bers and of Senator Allison, all of
whom died during the recess. The
most important action of the house
was the passage by unanimous con.
sent of a resolution authorizing the
committee on ways and means in its
tariff hearings to subpoena witnesses
and to call for books and papers A
number of bills of public interest were
introduced,
No time was lost by members of
congress in introducing bills, varying
all the way from the admission of New
Mexico into the Union to the regula-
tion of marriage and divorce. When
the house adjourned 73 public bills
had been dropped into the hopper, in
addition to $50 private bills and eight
resolutions.

by funds from the Fidelity Funding
Co., though in no way allied, but are
not asserted to be involved in the
Fidelity Funding Co.'S troubles.
The authorized capital of the Fidel-
lty Funding Co. was $5,O00,000 and ST.

OHIO AGRICULTURAL REPORT
Winter Wheat lmproved-corn Crop
Garnered in Good Shape-Apples
Better than Last Year.

Columbus, O.-The state board of
agriculture issued the following report
up to December 1:
Wheat shows a slight improvement
since the issuance of the last report,
it's condition being now estimated at
60 per cent compared with an average
as against 56 per cent reported one
month ago. Local showers in many
sections of the state have proven very
beneficial. The plant generally is
small and weak, in poor condition to
go into winter, and unless conditions
are most favorable during the winter
and early spring months many fields
will be abandoned. The seeding was
unusually late, due to the prolonged
drouth, which also tended to greatly
reduce the area seeded.
The area planted to corn for this
years harvest was 2,S06,S95 acres, and
the average production per acre as
now estimated by the correspondents
Is 36.9 bushels giving a total produc-
ton for the state as a whole of 103,-
629,746 bushels. This is an increase
over the harvest of 1907 of approx
imately 100000 bushels. The crop
generally is of good quality and was
cribbed in fine condition.
Apples are reported at SO per cent.
This is an increase of SO per cent over
the crop of 1907 About the same num-
ber of cattle are being fed for spring
markets as reported last year. Live
stock generally is reported in good
condition.

Times have changed since 450 years
ago, when Halley's comet, for whose
temperance astronomers are now
looking, was in the heavens. Then the
Christian world prayed to be deliv-

comet" Now it says the devil is not
as black as he has been painted, the
Turk is negligible quantity and the
comet would be rather welcome than
otherwise.-Boston Transcript.
