SHANGHAI. April TO- Canton Is
quiet at this time with the exception
Of the noise made by the Republicans
who are firing frecrackers and max
ing merry over the victory Of the Re-
publican forces. Business in Canton
has not been affected by the change
in. the government, and with the ex-
ception of the opium business, the city
has regained confidence in the Repub-
lican party.
The opium trafic Is doomed, as the
leader Of the bureau has been killed,

the Republicans will not stand for the
trade in the drug. There are still a
few disturbances in the provinces
north Of Kwantung. and Human may

ence Of Yuan Shih-Kai. With the Re
pubIlcans IN power IN Canton, It Is not
expected that Yuan win make any
move to combat the forces there. Re-
