THE OPIUM EVIL.
The results OF the opium conference held
at Shanghai last spring at the invitation
OF the United States have been laid before
the government. The report shows that
China is making remarkable progress ana
admirable efforts toward the eradication OF
the opium evil and that the governments
concerned have not allowed their CONNER

cooperation In this reform. Collateral IN

animation of the conventions and Of the
