The trouble in India seems 10 be growing
more serious for Great Britain. If it were
simply question Of suppressing a tribal
outbreak of natives not subject to British
authority and relying wholly on their own
resources, there would be no doubt of the
outcome. In that case the insurgents would
undoubtedly be beaten, though perhaps not
without some severe fighting. But there
are indications that other than native in
fluences are at work among the insurgents,
and that some of the British Indian troops
are waverng in their loyalty A dispatch
in the Sunday Journal said the British mill
tary authorities at one post yesterday
deemed it wise to disarm the Khyber
Rifles. forming part of the garrison of the
place" This means that the Khyber
Rifles were evincing sympathy with the in
surgents. If this feeling prevails 10 any

AS the improvements around the soldiers
begins to realize more anu more what a
grand work it is and how near it came to
being almost ruined by the departures from
the original design of the architect. The
that design as future additions to the work
will be. Yesterday for the first time water
was turned in the fountain on the east side
of the monument and both fountains were
in operation together. The effect was very
impressive. The roar of the waterfall,
much the largest body of moving water
in any fountain in the world could be
heard long distance and the moving mass
was at once fascinating and restful to the
eye AS usual on Sundays the monument
it was easy to see that those who saw it
for the first time were greatly impressed
by it's grandeur and beauty. When the
improvements now in progress are COM
pleted, and especially when the stone
groups shall be placed in position on the
east and west fronts, the real beauty and
majesty of the work Will be fully revealed
and all will realize that indianapolis has
in the monument a great and enduring at
traction Already it commands the admira-
ers who have seen the great monuments of
the world agree that in many important
respects it surpasses all others.

The department is about TO establish free

While the country will doubtless be much
interested in the report on the rural deliv-

considerable extent it is a very dangerous
condition Much the largest part of the
British military force in India consists of
native troops. The latest statement of the
entire force is 1900 British troops, officers
and men, and $4,000 native troops, differed
in part by British. There is nothing as
yet to indicate that disaffection among the
native troops is general but if it should
become so it would make a very serious
situation for the British. The fact that it
has been found necessary to disarm one
regiment of native troops shows that the
danger is not wholly imaginary.
Another unknown quantity in the situa-
ton is Russia. Her Indian policy is fully
as aggressive as that of Great Britain and
having been once determined there is
no deviation from it. Russia is extremely
jealous of British influence in Afghanistan,
and will stop at nothing to break it down.
1t is quite within the limits of possibility
that the present formidable outbreak of
tribesmen may have been fomented
by Russia, and is being secretly
assisted by her. If it should make sufficient
Roadway to justify Russia in doing so, she
may step to the front and assume the re-
sponsbility, or if in order to suppress it
the British forces should find it necessary
TO carry the war into Afghanistan. they
may be warned out by Russia and war may
ensue. These are mere conjectures but
with two jealous and aggressive powers
like Great Britain and Russia facing one
another in India, they quite within the
range of possibility.

country has never quite reached 100, 900
tons, and, according to reports made to the
authorities in the several States the mines
have capacity to produce this quantity in
little more than ninety days" 1t is said
that when all the mines now opened and
equipped to supply coal are in operation
they can turn out four times as much coal
as can be sold. If that is true, war between
the operators and the miners and between
the operators themselves seems inevitable.

After two weeks the police force of Phila-
delphia have not discovered the murderer
of the old librarian, Wilson, but has held his
negro porter for the grand jury on the
ground of suspicious circumstances. These
circumstances are that he had been known
to complain that his salary of $3.50 a week
was too small and had been heard to wish
he had money enough to take him to the
South African gold fields. People who
want their salaries raised and who want to
go to the Klondike ought to be sure there
are no murderers in the neighborhood be-
fore thew speak.
