Singapore, Dec. 20.--The anti-opium movement in Malaya can only be de- scribed as colossal. So rapidly has it spread and so popular bas it that it reminds one more of a Welsh revival than a movement undertaken by the stolid Chinese. A few weeks ago a well-todo Chin aman in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Selangor, received from China spe cimens of a plant which was said to be a cure far the opium habit. A short search revealed the fact that the plant grew freely in Selangor in a wild state, and in a very short time a quantity was obtained, and active op- erations commenced. The leaves of the plant, which ap pears to be a shrub somewhat akin to gambler, are exposed to the sun for a day, then chopped fine and roasted, after which an infusion is made, and the specific is ready fof use. The first man experimented upon, although he was a confirmed opium smoker, was pronounced cured in a week, Now an anti-opium society has bees formed in Kuala Lumpur and the spe cific in distributed free. The dispensar- ies established for ite distribution are bard pushed to keep up with the de- mand, the applicants in Kuala Tam utr alone numberine over 2,000 daily. The anti-opiumists claim to have cured, in the few short weeks since the plant was discovered, over 14,000 peo- ple in the Kuala Lumpur district alone. The receipts of the opium shops in and aroond Kuala Lumpur have fallen off by two-thirds, while several shores have had to close for lack of custom People coming from Kuala Tampur, adds the correspondent, tell me that as the distributing hour aovroaches ecoolies ean he seen flocking to the disnensaries from 'all directions, each corrving a couple of empty beer or whisky hottles to obtain the day's supply of the soecific. The average time required for a cure is from a fortnight to three weeks, Games In London Parks.
