It was quiet hero yesterday.
Tile Japanese right Is understood
to be guarded by a Japanese force be
yond where tho outposts of Cossacks
are stationed, but no action between
tho Cossacks and Japanese have been
reported within a week. In order to
retake the lost ground, the Russians
have now a task similar to that of tho
Japanese that Is, to make a road
over a hitherto unmapped region; but
tho season, being dry, is highly favor
able to the task of road-making.
Tho inactivity of tho Japanese is
not unusual. It recalls their retire
ment from the vicinity of Kaichou be
fore the battle of Vafangow. It also
recalls General Kuroki's strategy
throughout the firing lino in Motion

Tho Japanese north front has been
located as a line extending from Ben-

OPIUM TRAFFIC TO BE TORPEDOED
International Reform Bureau Will Ap
peal to the Power to Intervene
When Close of War Reopens
All Chinese Questions.
Duffnlo, N. Y., Oct. 0. A proposal
of the International reform bureau
that when tho closo of tho war In the
far enst reopotis all Chlnoso ques
tions, tho friendly powers shall press
(Ireat Ilrlluin to releaso China from
tho treaty that compels toleration of
the opium traffic, hus bean forwarded
to the Japauo'e government, which It
Is slated, was favorably considering
a similar proposal when the war
broke out. This faot was made pub
lic here today In a aermon by th
bureau's superintendent, Pr. Wilbur
F. CrnfW, at tho Niagara Square Con
gregational church.
At tho tlmo of the Boxer outbreak,
33 American missionary boc.IoIIcb pe

war made it, seem inopportune for a
friendly nation to press an appeal
at. that lime.
The International reform bureau

world to take up tho protection of
Chinese Integrity lit a moral sense.
It will bo urged that not only moral
but. commercial grounds exist for dip

since the pauperising of one hundred ,
millions of Chinese families by opium
decreases Chinese buying power In
all markets.
Dr. Crafts ntervlewed Wu Ting
Fang, when he wna In of!ic at Wash

Instantly restore lis prohibition ofj
opium by such n law at that of Japan:
