u cannot believe" he says, "but that
the reports in the press dispatches are
grossly exaggerated. \ riot may be in
progress in Bombay, but l doubt if
massacre has occurred. The city is
enough of a railway center to bring TO-
600 troops there within twenty-four
hours. The police force is capable Of
handling an ordinary mob. Tuesday was
Hindu festival time fixed for the wor-
ship of snakes. The Hindus observe it
with peculiar ceremonies and great pro-
cessions.
Il assume that they were attacked by
Mohammedans, who desired to retaliate
for the assault made the other day whom
they were holding a festival. Owing to
the stoppage of free coinage of silver and
financial depression generally, nearly all
the factories in Bombay are closed.
Thousands of unemployed are on the
verge of starvation and congregate in the
streets ready to engage in any demonstra-
ton which they think may prompt alle-
Walton of their sutlerings. l presume
that small number Of Mohammedans
attacked the Hindu procession, and that
the idlers joined in the melee and that a
free fight occurred. l suppose too, that
some may have been killed and many in
jured, but 1 do not think there was a
massacre"

CANADA's COMgIIsSTONFRS.


LONDON, Aug. 17.-Sir John Thomp-

member of the arbitration tribunal, sailed
to-day with Tupper. He said the award
OF the tribunal ought to fairly satisfy
Canada. 1t was inevitable, he said, that
any regulations should tend to restrict
pelagic sealing, because they had not
given the arbitrators the right to regulate
the killing OF seals on land within the
territorial waters. The regulations pre-
pared few weeks ago. said Sir John,
would have literally abolished peIagic
sealing in accordance with the American
contention. The practical reasons which
Lord Hannen and [ advanced, however,
induced a modification. This so dissatis-
fled the American arbitrators that they
refused to vote in the matter"
