Peking. China, Oct 10.-From
From Lanchowfu, the capital of Kan
su provinoce, comes the report of a
man named Hsi who was arrested
last February with two coffins in his
possession containing the remains of
near relatives, around which were
packed four thousand ounces of
opium which he was taking with the
corpse3 into Shansi. 1t is the custom
Of the Chinese to take their dead in
huge wooden coffins back to the
place of their birth.
The prisoner was tried and SEN
fenced to ten years Imprisonment.
The case was then referred to the CEN
tral government in Peking, and the
man was sentenced to death. The
execution has just taken place, the
prisoner being shot instead of being
decapitated. as was the practice in
the old days.
In connection with the suppression
of the use of opium news reaches Pc
king from time to time of some dras-
tic measure which the government
is able to enforce in spite of the dis
organization II is experiencing as a
result of the revolution. Reports tell
tell frequently of fighting between
farmers who have formed bands and
armed themselves with the object of
successfully harvesting a crop of
opium. Sometimes the reports tell
of Christians being made special OBJ
jects of attack and even murder be-
cause they oppose the growing of the
poppy. The rule of keeping hands
off the missionary and his property,
however, is still generally observed.
as 1t was throughout the revolution.
Other reports tell of proclamations
threatening death for a third offense
in selling or smoking opium. Still
others tell of great stocks of the drug
being burned amidst festival celebra-
tions. Some $4,000 worth of con-
flscated opium went up in some in
Tientsin n few weeks ago, while
bands played and people drank tea
and listened to speeches telling of
the harm opium had done the Chi
nese. 1t is believed by foreigners
and Chinese alike that such drastic
measures would not be possible at
this period of reconstruction If the
feeling of the nation were not in fa-
vor OF the reform.

opium in China to he enormously

selling as IL does for many times
what it cose before the suppression
began. In consequence there are
great inducements to carry on the
grade illicitly. and much Snug
Cling and growing in remote hill
countries is attempted.
The cleyerness of the Chinese po-
lice in discovering smuggled ship
ments is shown by the instance given
above Of the big burning at Tientsin.
But in the country they are not al
ways so clever, and many reports
of fields of growing poppy come to
government notice directly or indi-
rectly through foreign missionaries
and their converts.
An American missionary, f. w
Thwing. representing the Interna-
tional Reform Bureau, which has its
headquarters at Washington, has
been devoting practically all his
time for a number of years to the
suppression of the opium habit. He
has been leading the campaign for
the Chinese where it came in conflict
with foreigners, and, as a result, he
has acquired many enemies among
those foreigners interested in the
continuance of the trade. Thwing
has shown the Chinese how to or
ganiZe anti-opium societies and how
to deal legally and to the best ad-
vantage with the white men in the
business. who are subject to no Chi
nese laws but only to the jurisdic-
tion of their own consular courts.
Thwlng recently stated in pub
lie speech in Shanghai that, while
Chinese officials and people have
suppressed the greater part of the
traffic throughout the country, and
stamped 1t out altogether in some
provinces, the foreign quarte of
Shanghai was licensing more opium
shops each year. The suppression in
what is known as the Native City had
forced the opium traders and the
smokers into the foreign settlements
controlled by the foreign consuls sub
ject to the orders of their govern
ments. This, Thwing contends, is
contrary to the Hague Opium con-
vention, where all the interested
Powers agreed to reduce the number
of opium shops in the Chinese terri
tories controlled by them in proper
tion to the reduction made by the
Chinese government.
