far as to say that unless the evil to
which they point is corrected by ex-
tending the subsidy system the de-
struction of the British empire must
follow.
The trouble referred to is the grow
ing dissemination of the British to
listen to the call of the sea. Their
failure to do so is declared by a writer
in the Fortnightly Review to be due
to the low wages paid to sailors by
merchantmen flying the British flag,
the result being that their crews are
made up of lascars, coolies or "da-

The remedy for this drawback the

MORE OPIUM FOUND

S. F. Chronicle, May IS; Customs
Inspector f, e. Enlow, nicknamcd
"Eagle-Eyed" Enlow, made another
clever seizure of opium yesterday on
the steamship Siberia, the find being
eighteen tins of smoking opium valued
at $3.50. 1t was owing to En'ow' $
shrewdness, coupled with his long eX-
perience, that the discovery was made.
Immediately after the arrest of Third
officer C, B, Kenney of the steamship
Siberia last Thursday his room was
searched by men from the special
agents office, but nothing was found
save the wrappers which had incased

away. Enlow was not satisfied end

price has steadily fallen from $50 per

the authorities that there is an or
