Weihaiwei, April 19.
Arbor Day was kept in due form outside and inside the Territory, everyone taking a hand in planting shrubs and trees of various kinds.
April 8 was kept here by the native community, all the shops displaying flags and the schools having a holiday, in remembrance of the setting up of the first parliament at Peking.
Opium and morphia are being used largely outside the Territory and the former is smoked quite publicly in the inns. The bulk of the drags come from Tairen and Korea, Morphia and hypodermic syringes have a very large sale. Where a native has not the latter, he makes a puncture with his naif and inserts the morphia.
