rs to 40 per cent and the American
consuls will this year probably name
so per cent as fair estimate. 1t is un-
fortunate, the correspondence says,
that China, owing. to her previous loose
system of accounts, has not been able
to determine accurately the exact
amount of reduction, but a disagree
ment in regard to definite figures is
immaterial from a broad viewpoint.
ANY reduction" continues Minister
Calhoun, deserves the highest praise,
and decrease of rs per cent is a mar
vel. But a disinterested party Axes so
per cent. and that means that in the
poppy fields of China whose purple and
crimson glory has been the symbol of
a peoples ruin, a miracle has been
wrought. That is prohibition. not writ
ten in as edict, but embodied in a
fact"
In quoting Viceroy Tuan Fang, Mr.
Calhoun writes THE time for writing
ia past. Let the world see our deeds,
and judge If we are in earnest in the
abolition of opium"
Closing Opium Dens.
Continuing. the American diplomatic
representative says, pronounced acti-
witty has been exercised in closing the
opium dens. In one city 1000 have
been closed, in other cities 5000, 1000
to 1000, while in 100000 market towns
the dens have been effectually put out
of business. About 100000 places in
all have been closed. Shops neglecting
to comply with conditions of prohibi-
ton have been sealed. One wholesale
place is said to have suffered the loss
of $3.50 a day. The shrinkage in re-
venue is serious, but the attitude of
the government is that it will not seek
to satisfy it's hunger or quench it's
thirst through the baneful poison of
a great curse. So the Imperial decree
is memorable"
Within year great worldwide op-
ium conference will be held abroad at
which representatives from the vari-
GUS exporting and importing countries
will be present. Measures will be pass
ed at the conference limiting the
amount Of opium imported into any
country, and devising means for the
lessening of the trade.
This, taken together with the siren
uous steps of the Chinese government
seems to insure q lessening of the traf-
fic and an elimination of many of the
opium Joints" in this country and
other foreign countries where Chinese
have migrated to any considerable ex.
tent.
