by the Khedive to the members OF the
Legislative Council and General Assem-

projects The queen mother. who is an

heart upon marriage between her ia
vorite nephew, Prince George of Greece,

ess of Fife.
The young people met once or twice,
but as the Flies are in deep mourning
and Prince George was being feted
everywhere by ambitious hostesses, there
was little opportunity for much quiet
intercourse. The young duchess was,
however, fully conscious OF the arrange

and took no pains TO conceal her dislike
for them. In this she was supported by

English society girls, and Is what may
be described as a young man OF promis-

CHANGES ANTI-OPIUM POLICY.
Government of India Makes Public
Revision of Regulations.

Simla. Sept. 1.-THE government of
India has made public important changes
in its internal opium policy.
1t has invited the provincial govern
ments. including Burma. to prohibit by
legal enactment smoking and the prepara-
ton OF smoking material when practised
in saloons or gatherings numbering more
than two persons.
The government decided against the
proposal to prohibit individuals from
smoking as being at present impossible
and involving inquisitorial methods, but
1t proposes to reduce the amount of
opium an individual may lawfully possess
and to increase the price of opium sold
by the government, with a view to dis
couraging all classes from the consump-
ton Of the poppy.
The rules for the sale OF morphia and
allied opium compounds are also revised
with a similar object.
