THE MASSACRE IN MANIPUR.
Il Was Caused by the Natives Discovery
Attempted British Treachery.

It Was Caused by the Natives Discovery Of
Attempted British Treachery.
Mrs. F. St. G. Grimwood, wife Of Mr..
Grimwood, the late political agent Of the
British government at Manipur, who was
put TO death at the same time that the
chief commissioner and his companions lost
their lives, has arrived in Calcutta. Mrs.
Grimwood in her recital of the story of the
massacre charges that the trouble was due
entirely to the rashness of the chief
commissioner in refusing to be gov
erned by the sensible advice which had
been given him with regard to the negotiations
then being conducted with the hill chiefs
concerning the deposition Of the Questionable
mahrajsh Mrs. Grimwood declares that the
British have little right to complain of the
treachery OF ths Senaputte, who was invited by
Quinton to attend the Durbar for the express
and single purpose Of affecting his capture un-
awares and placing him treacherously under
arrest without the bloodshed which the COM
missioner felt would follow any open attempt
It appears from Mrs. Grimvood's statemert
that the Senaputte In some way came to sus-
psst Quinton'i intentions and 20 declined 10
attend the pufbar. At the sams time DE vilv
Asiatic, instead Of allowing himself to fan into
| the hands Of his enemies, managed 10 draw the
chief commissioner and his stsd within his net.
This done he permitted his hillsmen to vrssk
their vengeance upon the eaptives.
| Mrs. Grimw0o&s story y generally accepted
~ correot and has erostsd . feeling of deep %.
diguation among The people With regard TO he
apparent Encouragement Of The whole uufor-
tunats Manipur AFFAIR.

The suggestion from G.. A. r. men that the
age limit be abolished in considering applica-
ions for appointment on the police force is
excellent in the interests Of patriotism, but its
practical value is doubtful The came may be
said Of the idea Of preferriug in such appoint
ments ex-Cniou soldiers The present Lmita-
tons, which DO not go beyond the regular
army. are entirely too narrow and should be
abolished altogether. Beyond the age of thirty
eight The average man is not fitted to COM
mence a career which involves exposure and
physical fatigue. There are of course excep-
tons TO the rule, but an age regulation cannot
be based upon such exceptions. The govern
ment should find other means of caring for its
old soldiers than exposing them to the rigors
Of police duty, and citizens should have every
safeguard and opportunity for securing the
best service in this direction. 1t is no dis
credit 20 the average veteran that he is not
fitted at the close Of his life to play the part of
athletic protector Of the public against rufians
and criminals. 1t il cruel to him and unjust to
The community to cast him for this role.

A correspondent suggested in yesterday

to take additional precautions for the safety of
their passengers at railroad grade crossings
The suggestion is good. Let the street car
companies watch Let the crossings be flooded
at night with light. Let vigilant watchmen
and improved gates be provided. Let the indi-
yitual who is crossing assume responsibility
and look out for his life. But with all precau-
lions there will be no safety at the froquented
