芙蓉城裏之外交官 險些捉將官裏去，幸有金錢作護符。滿地可埠函云：本埠某店東黃某，素與柯京副領事趙宗壇感情甚篤。趙每相過訪，黃即以阿芙蓉爲談話會之佳品，趙深喜之。以故往還益密。昨三號晚趙復訪黃於十里雲霧之中，少頃、黃適有事他出，突被西差闖上樓來，指趙爲煙犯，趙當時手足無措，乃狼狼忙忙出其所謂副領事之牌照相示，詎料西差不由分說，直欲拘（後文遺失）。English translation: The diplomat in the opium den -（The diplomat）was almost taken into police custody and luckily waived by paying. Here is the news from Montreal: A store owner Huang in Montreal has a close relationship with the Deputy Consul General Zhao Zongtan from the capital region of Ottawa. Every time Zhao comes to visit, Huang will offer him opium during the meeting. Zhao likes it, so they have frequent contact. On the night of the 3rd, Zhao visited Huang again. When they were intoxicated in the opium smoke, Huang left with some business to take care of. After a while, the police broke in and ran up the stairs. They caught Zhao, claiming him to be an opium user. Zhao was perplexed, and hurriedly showed his identification as the Chinese Deputy Consul General. However, the policy did not care and wanted to arrest (the rest part of the article was missing).
