TUE DURBAR AT AGRA

It has now been officially announced that it is uncertain
whether the Viceroy of Indi.L will hold a Durbar at Agra in
the coming cold scasen. It will entirely depend upon the
state of the country at the close of the next harvest
The distress in Rajpootana and Gwalior is very great, and
even in our own districts there is cause for anxiekr. Unless
matters should improve very much the Durbar will be
abandoned, and even should it be held, no native Princes and
chiefs will be invited to attend, whose progress through the
country with a large number of followers would be likely
to cause inconvenience to the people
