OPIUM TRAFFIC COMPROMISE.
Drug to BE Imported Into China n
Medicine, Specially Labeled.

A compromise in the Chinese opposition
to the opium traffic, under which 5000
chests of opium, the total stock now in
Hongkong and Shanghai, may be i'm
ported into the provinces OF kiang-su,
Kwang-tung. and KianG-si. '.as medi-
cines. bearing special labels" is told in
unofficial advices that reached the State
Department by mail yesterday.
The 5000 chests may be imported, on
payment of royalty of s2o,0oo00O to the
Chinese government for the whole guam
tity. in lieu of permitting foreign mer-
chantsh to import into China 1000 chests
of opium this year and 5000 chests next
year. as provided by the British treaty.
This arrangement is understood by Of
ficials here to be probably the result of
an understanding with the British au-
thorities with a view to relieving the
merchants in the treaty port Of Shang-
hal and the British port OF Hongkong of
the burden of keeping the immense stock
of opium. whose production and sale for
commercial purposes is prohibited in

tips they secure a percentage by guiding
the new arrivals to certain hotels.
The hotel men got together the other
| day and sent detective and a woman
assistant to Hoboken to take the ferry
back to New York. They engaged a por-
ter and told him to take them to a big
well-known hotel.
The porter told them that he had been

hotel to warn prospective guests that the
hotel was filled with a convention crowd
, He then took them to a small hotel in a

have told visitors that certain hotels were
under quarantine.

them on their honor not to jump over the
prison wall and within a month two have
been recreant to this trust. In the mean
time Superintendent Riley, somewhat
contemptuous of the Osborne regime at

of his own account. and many predict that
Osborne will soon be beheaded.
