INDIA is
Lord George HamiIton's Tribute TO
VicerOy Curzon's Rule.

LONDON, Aug. 16.-The Indian secretary,
Lord George Hamilton, in the House of
Commons. to-day presented the financial
statement for India. He said that, in spite
of three years of famine and acute depres-
sion in the three agricultural staples-tea.
indigo and cotton-he was able TO present
the most favorable balance sheet since
India came under the crown. The relief
expenditures for three years totaled el5,-
COO, O00, but the same period showed a
surplus Of e6.377,OOO. The seasons rains,
though below normal, had been sufficient
was fair, and there was more prospect for
a material reduction In the relief expendi-
ture. The result of the g~old-standard
policy had more than realized the govern
ment's expectations. Lord George con-
cluded with praising the administration
of Lord Curzon of Keddleston as Gov
ernor of India.
Referring to the railway department,
Lord George Hamilton said hat a special
the next fifty years, give the government
possession of the rolling stock, now valued
at s $4,000 0. This, he contended, afforded
conclusive proof of an upward economic
movement. He announced that IL was the
governments intention TO appoint a trained
expert 10 assist the government In devel-
oping the ailways of India on the most
modern practical lines. This expert would
visit the United States and would prepare
TEN there. especially concerning light rail-
ways, with a view of determining how far
the American system would be applicable
to conditions in India.

ticing in Germany led 10 the issuing OF an
order from the German government forbid
ding any dentist holding an American
diploma from practicing in the empire. 1t
is said that no less than four hundred
dentists were disbarred by this order.
though many of them held regular diplo-
mas. German laws against irregular prac-
titioners in all the professions are very Sc
we're. and nearly fifty OF the persons holding
these fraudulent diplomas have been prose-
cuted and convicted. BY direction of the
United States government the American
consul at Munich took up the Investigation
and found that the fraudulent diplomas had
all been issued at Chicago in the manner
above indicated. The consul is now in Chi
cago with evidence to fully substantiate
the charges. Several members of the ex-
aiming board have been removed by the
Governor. and the case has been referred to
the attorney general to see If there is not
ground for prosecuting them. The case is
of public interest because in a measure 1t
affects the value of all American diplomas
abroad and Injuries the standing of a pro-
fession which for many years has stood
exceptionally high in all European coun-
tries. A peculiarly bad feature of the case
Is that members of a board appointed to
guard the honor and elevate the standard
of a profession should betray their trust
and conspire TO bring it into disrepute. The
incident will give unfriendly foreigners a
new pretext for decrying everything Amer
lean. The scandal is of n kind that hurts
others than those directly involved.

with a Journal of Commerce reporter.
President Baker, of the Atlantic Trans
port line. announced hat plans have been
completed for providing new docking facili-
ties in London at a cost of SIC. 600, 900. Pres
ident Baker says In part:
England is far behind America in it's

grain. At present the freight is unloaded

is weighed, there unloaded, weighed and

Germans. Owing to the old-fashioned
methods ii costs about three shillings per
ton to handle the freight after il arrives
in London, while IL costs only one shilling
per ton here. TIE Leyland Company and
the Atlantic Transport Company will carry
to London $4,000 tens OF freight every week,
or about 2O,O0,0W tons q year, and IL Will

that an alliance is contemplated between

Mr.. w. j. Bryan gives another evidence
of his incurable d~emagogism by denounc-
ing President Mckinley for sending a dis
patch of sympathy to Emperor William
on the death of his mother and not to Mr..
Kruger on the death of his wife. Sensi-
BILE people know that such dispatches are
matters of International comfy and quite
devoid of a personal aspect. As the Trans
vaal government was never recognized as
independent and as Mr.. Kruger had no
official standing in the diplomatic world
there was no reason why the President
should express official sympathy for him.
If Mr.. Bryan were President the exigen-
cjes of the situation would have required
him to do exactly as President Mckinley
did.
