English Officials Fear to Prosecute the
Indian Papers for 6edition.

LONDON. Aug. 2S.-A number of excep-
tionai meetings of the Indian council have
been held recently due to advices from
Simla, on the disturbed state of India. The
immediate question before the council,
whether the government be authorized tc
proceed with q retrial Of the Bitngobds
case and prosecute for sedition other native
papers, was decided in the negative. Th,
government seems to be afraid to risk the
failure of prosecution, which would re.
suit in a serious blow to the prestige OF
British rule.

dangerous state of ebulition, and since the
marriage reforms were passed the discon-
tent has been Of q rapid growth. Many
large cities are ready TO burst into sedition,
and will To difficult to control.
no RESPECT FOR BRITISH AUTHORITY.
The disaffected have lost that wholesome
respect for the British authority, which was
sufficient for three decades to keep peace.
Any deliberate attempt to foment open
sedition may readily succeed. The prospect
is altogether gloomy. According to high
ofiiciai in the Indian Office, the government
is aware of the tendencies to disorder In the
great cities, and is satisfied with the general
position.
The native press association, forming un-
der sanction of the government. is expected
to promote harmony by the moderate ex-
preston of views based on accurate news.
