MR.. BURToN's POSITION.
Not Soliciting Support Outside O.
Cuyahoga County.

CLEVELAND. Ohio. July 17.-Repre-
sentative Theodore e. Burton has made
the following statement relative to the
Ohio senatorship:
MY supreme interest is in the election
of Mr.. Taft and republican victory in the
state and Cuyahoga county. 1 am es-
pecially anxious that the presidential cam
paign should not be complicated by COM
petition for the senatorship. While I
should. of course, be pleased to be elected
senator I am not disposed to put forth
any active effort for the position, at least
at this time. In an important sense the
Office should seek the man.
Il do not anticipate that the candidates
for the legislature will commit themselves
until after election, when after a careful
survey of the situation they will have op-
portunity to weigh the respective claims
of those who have been suggested and
make wise choice.
II should be glad to have the support
of the legislative delegation from Cuya-
hoga county. Indeed. / believe that it will
be given. Outside of Cuyahoga county I
am taking no part in the selection of
members, nor have / solicited support
Mr.. Burton left for Europe last night
and he will be absent until the latter part
of August.

China Fights the Morphine Trade.

PEKING, July 17.-China has asked
Japan to consent to the restriction of the
importation into China of morphine, as
well as the instruments used for the in
lection of the drug. All the other powers
long since agreed to this restriction It is
highly desirable that Japan consent to
this proposal. particularly in view Of the
opium congress to be held In Shanghai in
January, when measures for the control
of the opium traffic are to be devised If
Japan does not consent China is helpless
to restrict the Importation.
