OPIUM REFORM IN CHINA.
Agitators Encouraged by the Att
tude of Government Officials.

FOre1En CORRESPONDENCE OF The Star.
PEKING. December I, 1910.
Recently the Chinese government. pre-.
sumably weakened by palace dissensions
which are but vaguely realized outside
has been giving way slowly before the
opium reform movement. which gains
strength daily. while those who are agi.
tating for reform are acquiring conf
dence. 49,.
The result is an unexpected lack of op-
position. The oficials Of the principal
boards and others in high places feel their
power crumbling and are supposed to be
inclined to identify themselves with the
importation agitation. with a view ia
maintaining their popularity through the
anti-foreign sentiment. This is at the
bottom of the movement and the prin.
cipal element in any serious DEVELOPMENT
Of the. agitation would be .dislike of the
foreigner.

At Nantes an extraordinary trial has
Just begun. An alleged brigand Is held
accountable for long series Of robberies,
thefts, assaults and murders in a number
OF departments stretching from the Ri
viera to the vicinity of Nantes and Bor-

to death by a court-martial at Marseille

deserving the army and attempting to
kill a publican. and to hard labor for life
by the assize court Of Nice at the outset
Of his checkered career. If he were to be
Judged separately for each of his al
legged misdeeds the trials might extend
over a period of twenty-five years. 1t
took the police and gendarmes nearly a
year to hunt him down. and during that
time he is accused Of having committed
twenty-one crimes in the neighborhood of

PLANS MADE
FOR KINGS CORONATION
Magnificent Carpet Ordered
for Use at Ceremony in
Westminster Abbey.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.


LONDON, December -, 1910.
The work of preparation for the coro-
nation is proceeding apace. splendid
pile Of carpet. Of remarkable and striking
design, has been ordered for Westminster
Abbey. and the weavers are to be Messrs
Templeton of Glasgow. The foundation
color will be royal blue and the orna.
mentation will include emblems of the
Order Of the Garter and other heraldic
devices. The pattern Is on such a large
scale. that the design is only repeated or
matched in every six and a half yards.
The general principle adopted for the
seating in the abbey is to dispense with
fixed seats. Special chairs Of Chippendale
design, but with rush seats, were made
for the previous coronation. For the
coming ceremony there will be Chip
pendale chairs of somewhat similar char
acter. but with seats upholstered in silk
Smaller chairs and narrow stools were
supplied in hundreds. and were of un-
polished beech. with cane seats Next
June these will be replaced by polished
chairs and seats upholstered in silk
Changes in the Abbey.
Westminster Abbey will be closed from
the beginning of March until the end OF
July. The choir and transepts and the
chapels which are to be used during the
ceremonial will be completely trans.
formed, and several galleries will. be
erected for the spectators, as at previous
coronation
1T lis expected that. the coronation will
be attended officially by five heirs an.
parent to thrones-the German crown
prince. the Duke OF Sparta and the crown
princes Of Denmark. Sweden and Rou-
mania. The King of Italy is to be rep
resented by his cousin. the Duke of Aosta
and it Is probable that the prince consort
Of the Netherlands will attend as the
representative of Queen Wilhelmina.

PROPOSED AUTO ROUTE

Hotel Accommodations and Re-

Via Eureka Most Desirable

P. II. HUI Of Eureka has received
from G. S. Hoag. Secretary Of the Ely
Commercial League at Ely. the follow.
ing letter, which is self explanatory:
Ely. Nevada. June s. 1911.
Mr.. p. II. Hjul, Eureka. Nevada.
Dear Sir: For about two months this
body has been engaged in compiling
data as to the best transcontinental
automobile route across Nevada. At
our own expense, the writer was sent
out to Salt Lake City, aud mapped that
road. l enclose a proof of the routing
from Salt Lake City to Ely. We shall
also publish a routing card in the opposite
direction.
The routing made will be furnished
all transcontinental tourists from tour
ing headquarters in New York City.
The Automobile Club of America,
which publishes this information. is ex.
tremely anxious for q routing across
Nevada.
From data which we have obtained
during the last two months, we believe
that the best route will take us through
your city, and it is the intention of the
Ely Commercial League to send a man
out to map this route during the cur
rent month.
We are asking cities which will be
benefited, to share the expense OF this
work, aud at the suggestion of l. O. @.
Whitmore, we are writing to you. ask
ing that you endeavor to raise by sub
scription $25 as Eureka's share Of the
expense. This may be sent to Fl. N.
Byrne, Cashier First National Bank,
Ely, Nevada, and be will see to it that it
is applied for the purpose designated.
/ hope you will give this immediate
attention, as the Tour Bureaus are
anxious for the information, and it is
essential that we furnish them this in
formation before some one more active
provides a routing which might divert
the transcontinental cars from your city.
We have found this work of greater
benefit to Ely in an advertising way
than any method which we have under
taken, and we believe that it will be of
inestimable benefit to every town
through which these tourists travel.
You realize that people making such
trips as this always represent consider.
able wealth, and are ~inf1uentially con-
nected, and we believe that great benefit
will accrue by influencing them to pass
through our cities.
Very truly yours,
q. s. HoAG, Secretary.

charter and bylaws for development and
colonization associations to be organized
in the several counties OF the State to en-
courage, promote and exploit the agri-
cultural and industrial development and
colonization OF such counties. and OF the
State Of Nevada at large. In view Of the
greatly increased interest being taken in
agricultural pursuits in Nevada in the
last few years, the prepared plan for the
organization Of associations throughout
the State will no doubt meet with much
favor.
