Great Britain Interferes with

Much Indignation in India In
Consequence.

full Rebellion Almost Imp OsSible on Ac-
count of the Lack of Cohesion Among
the Natives-FOreign.
LONDON, Sept. 26.-Calcutta advices
state that the viceroy is much alarmed
by the sullen tone of the native popu-
lace. The age of consent law is said to
be the chief found alton for popular an
ger. 1t is interfering with the customs
of the Hindoos more than was at first
expected, and several husbands have
already been prosecuted for. taking their
child wives home under the legal age.
The priests are especially angry at the
bill, which tends to deprive their order
of certain old-fashion6d privileges. The
lack of cohesion among the natives is
the strongest factor in making success
full rebellion almost impossible.
AT the saIae time many Europeans
claim that British rule In India ia really
in danger, owing to the rash course Of
the viceroy, both In domestic affairs and
in the severe punishment of the leaders
in the Nanipur insurrection.
The rulers Of the feudatory states of
India are said to feel uneasy in conse-
quence of the way in which the royal
family Of Manipur was treated, and
they are asking each other what the
fate would be of any Indian prince who
might be driven by intolerable tyranny
into armed resistance against British
authority.
The hanging of the senaputty was
especially offensive to the Hindoos, that
being considered a most disgraceful
form of execution, and, although En-
gland has not formally annexed Mani
pur, the state Is to remain virtually
within complete control of English Off
cials.
All these circumstances go to influ-
ence the Hindoo mind, and make it re-
ceptive of disloyal sentiments against
Great Britain.

BERLIN, Sept 26.-There is much dis
cussion going on in Catholic and Prot
estant circles in this and other cities on
account of The fact just made public
that Professor Winschied, of Leipsic,
who belongs to one of the most noted
Catholic families of that city, has an
nounced his conversion to Protestant

a sensation in religious circles. but its
effect upon Catholics may be imagined
when it is coupled with the statement
that the professor attributes the change
in his religious views to his disbelief in
the authenticity of the garment known
as the holy coat, which is now on eX-
hibition in the cathedral of st. Treves,
and his conscientious scruples against

THE "RooF OF THE WORLD"

Russia Claims It, and Has Forbidden En-
gIish Travellers to Even Look at 1t.
A letter on the Younghusband Incl
dent is published here from Professor
Arminius Vambury, the distinguished
Oriental traveller and writer, who, in
196I-84, Travelled in the disguise of a
dervish,. by routes unknown to Euro
peans, through the deserts of the Oxus
to Khiva and thence by Bokara to oa-
marcand. Professor Vambury is pro
fessor Of Oriental languages at the Uni
versity of Pesth, and has for years past
written letter after letter to The Times
and other English newspapers warning
the British government and the people
of England against the designs of Russia
in regard to India.
On Sept. 81 1t was announced that
Captain Younghusband, the English
agent and well-known traveller, who
has made the longest journey In CHI
nese territory ever accomplished by a
European, had been forbidden by the
Russian authorities to enter Little
Pamir, ON the border of the Chinese pos
session of East Turkestan. Russia has
taken this step on the ground that she
claims supremacy over the Pamir
Roof of the World" territory. In this
connection Professor Vambuy says
that since the Russio- Afghan treaty was
concluded the Russians, in violation of
it's terms, have continued to encroach
upon the frontier line, and that they
now hold Alichur and Pamir, $50 miles
beyond the frontier defined by the
Russo-Afghan treaty.
AS a strange coincidence, almost at
the same moment that Professor YAM
bury's warning letter appears, advices
have been received from Cartain Young
husband, dated from Kashgar. Captain
Younghusband states that, learning that
the Russians had crossed the Afghan
frontier in spite Of the protests of the
Afghan authorities, and being informed
that the Russians were forcing their
way towards the Pamirs, he started out
to verify these reports. Continuing,
the captain says he found that on
Aug 10 the rear guard of the Russians,
one hundred strong, was at Bozo-Gu
bas, near Chitral or Little Kashgar, ON
the south slope of Hindoo- Koosh. Cap
tain Younghusband, therefore, placed
himself in communication with the
British army post at Gilghit. The Brit
ish officials in command there promptly
sent a force of 200 Ghoorkas to the
scene of the Russian operations. The
Russians, who had crossed the table
lands, on hearing of the approach of the
Ghoorkas, retraced their steps, and,
Joining the rear guard, the whole force
retired across the frontier

For the Kansas Senatorship-The Contest
Taking on Very DisaGreeable Phases.
TOPEKA, KAN, December 30.-The
struggle for the -VApintment to the
vacancy in the u ks1 States Senate
has developed into a disgraceful scram-
bic. The contest has not been very
dignified from the start, but 1t has now
deeenerated into fight which is quite
disgusting to the Governor, as It doubt
less is to the people of Kansas and the
outside world.
Each candidate has established head
quarters and maintains them as much
as If there was q whole Legislature TO
work on instead OF one poor Governor.
The various candidates hold confer
ences. arrange trades, make and receive
promises much after the fashion OF a
hot political election. The Governor
now says that he understands that ne
made a mistake In offering Richman the
opportunity OF stating his claim to him.
He ought, he says, 70 have made the
appointment before the candidates had
the opportunity to organize their forces
and contest the appointment so bitterly.
There are very few new developments
to-day. The Farmers Alliance, through
the chairman OF its Executive Commit
tee, sent g written demand TO the Iov-
ernor this morning that he call an extra
session of the Legislature TO choose a
successor 10 Senator Plumb.
The fact that the present Legislature
IS controlled by the Farmers Alliance
and that Governor Humphrey Is Re
publican. puts an extra session Out OF
the question.

In all of these numerous robberieS Sly
figured as the leader, and their engine

that SIy In 1888 was acting as driver for

with a gang of rough burglars who
made tLeir headquarters around Kansas

Sly WIS possibly concerned in the rob-
berv at Western Union Junction, the
Pinkerton's quietly began investigations
towards locating Sly and succeeded IN
tracing him to California.
