LONDON. July 3.-rhe outburst OF anti.
English feeling In the native press both
OF Bengal and Bombay, for months past
has had the outcome which might have
been expected in the outrages at Poonah
and the rioting at Chitpore. There 10
no doubt that the immediate cause OF
the outbreak Is the energy with which
the local authorities have been stamping
out the bubonic plague, sometimes ns-
cesstating interference with The social
relations. customs, and traditions of the
natives; but the dlsaffection would not
have become acute had Il not been for the
activity and malicious accusations Of un.
scrupuious agltators. exciting to ven
geance against individuals and to revolt
against the government.
One Of these newspapers, .air sample
of the others. said:
PLAGUE AUTHORITIES BUTcHERs."
THE plague authorities are <implv
butchers. who are torturing and karass-
ing the people OF Poonah In the name OF
sanitary science. II matters are not pue
right soon the scenes Of 1851 are likely
to be re-witnessed there, as neither tho
Hindoos nor the MOUNTAINEERING win tole-
rate the persecution OF their wives and
children for any length OF time"
Other newspapers OF India openly adj.
vocate armed resistance to the search
parties. Needless TO say, the charges
are false. There is reason to believe that
the wave of Mohammedan reaction ia
caused by the successful and unpunished
atrocities In Armenia. spreading TO tho
Mussulmans of India. There Is no rea-
son to fear for the empire. for as the
white garrison is strong. numbering 1900
there Is reason to fear a succession OF
local outbreaks, demanding sangunary
repression.
AMERICAN WHEAT BOUNTY.
The Spectator takes a pessinisiic view
Of the demand of American farmers for
bounty on wheat grown for export. Ii
says: "As the fairness OF the claim
must be conceded by every logical pro-
tectionist, and as the farmers hold the
balance OF power between the Goldtes
and the Silverites. their demand will pro-
badly be granted. In which case the value
of wheat in England will sink. like the
value of sugar in England. possibly to
10 shilings a quarter. II Is difficult TO
conceive what would become OF English
agriculture. Rents could not be paid
THE American advocates OF the COM
peting metals must win the farmers
vote. and they can only win by cOncedlng
