U~nimpOrtant as may seem the recent
trouble in Manipur its results may be far
reaching. English prestige Is the power
that maintains her supremacy in India,
a prestige that was established by Lord
Cliye and perpetuated by Hastings.
Should that prestige be broken 1t would
cost England dearly to keep the differ
ent provinces in subsection, for they are
only pacific because they feel they can
not be otherwise. 1t Is this alone that
attaches such interest to affairs in Man
fpur.
The city Of Manipur consists of .
native town, q palace fortress and the
British ~residency, The two latter are
close together, though not being by any
means protected alike. The residency is
surrounded by a frail wall, inclosing also
tho treasury, guard house, dispensary,
etc. 1t Is constructed of wood, bamboo
and thatch, and Is not calculated to
stand a determined attack. The rajah's
palace, as well as the ministerial build
in9s, seraglio. Sepoys' barracks, and jail,
is surrounded by a wall and by q deep,
wide ditch, upon which boat races arc
sometimes held. The ditch and wall
make the Enclosure well-nigh impregna-
be.
Manipur posses o famous breed of po-
MES, and the game Of polo, or hockey on
horseback, is said to have been invented
In this country. Some Of the more civil
lied natives are expert weavers OF cloth
and silk, sajdlers, carpenters and met
al-workers, who emigrate into Eastern
Bengal.
