THE OPIUM TRAFFIC.
A BIG HAUL
By Electric Telegraph. — Copyright. SYDNEY, April 19.
One thousand pounds worth of opium was seized aboard the German steamer Prinz Waldemar.
[The Sub-Collector of Customs in Victoria says that while it may be true that illicit traffic in opium is on the increase in Sydney, it is decidedly on the decrease in Melbourne, and the amount being smuggled into port at tho present time must be almost infinitesimal (says a recent Daily Telegraph). Opium smoking in Melbourne has been considerably lessened since the passage of legislation against the sale of the drug.]
