INDIA'S REFUSAL

the Opiuion OF Its lndiaa Advisers

New York October IA dispatch from
Paris to the Herald says:
The Herald rs Informed from a trust
worthy source that the answer which
the Indian government has forwarded to
the British cabinet declining to reopen
its mints under an agreement with
France and the United States, is causing
considerable difficulty in English gov
ernmental circles. A majority OF the
cabinet is disindllned TO override the
opinion of its Indian advisers on a ques-
tion which principally affects India, but
several members of the cabinet feel that
the government is too far committed to
withdraw. AT the present moment il is
impossible to foretell the outcome of the
differences of opinion, but the resigna-
ton of all the influential members Of
the cabinet Is not improbable. Mean

refusal of India is based on her obli-

There were three conversions at
the M. 2. church last night. This
brings the total for the meeting up
to within thirty or forty, which is
indeed very fine showing for the

been a number who were already
members, but who had not yet atlilI-

reason or another. With these count
ed, the total has gone over forty
Rev. Broomfeld, of Uniontown, who

cided whether the meetings are to
continue or not The work done has
been grand one and will result in
great good to the town. We CON

And This is Another Idea.

Morgantown, Dec. Is.
Editor New DOMINION:
What is the matter with retaining
the school board we now have in our
approaching election? They have
proven themselves to be a first-class
board and have neglected nothing
which could add to the success and
efficiency of our schools during their
terms. Besides deserving for good
service rendered, they should be re-
elected in order that they may com
plete the work which they have so
well begun. To swap horses while
crossing the stream is very poor pol
icy. Keep the present board.
FAIR PLAY.
