BRITISH SAY NO OTHER

House of Commons Sanctions En-
ployment of Ii.dian Troops for
Political Mission.
DEFENSE OF THE, ACTION

LONDON. April 13.-The House of Com
mons to-day by 20 to 81 votes adopted
resolution sanctioning the employment of
Indian troops for the protection of the po-
litical mission to Thibet
War Secretary BrodricK, in introducing
the resolution, read a telegram from Col.
Younghusband the political agent at the
head of the mission, to the effect that
Colonel Macdonald, in command of the
escort, reached his goal, Gyangtse, Thibet,
April IL. without the loss of man. The
telegram added that the Thibetans were
highly demoraliZed and were fleeing from
the Gyangtse valley, that the Chinese del
egate was coming in. and that the Thibetan
delegates were their way TO Gyangtse.
Mr.. Brodrick proceeded TO defend the
British action, saying that while the Thibe-
tans were trying to circumscribe their re-
lations with India, they simultaneously
were attempting TO open up relations with
Russia. The British government could not
acqulesce in any status of the status quo
in Thibet, nor countenance an attempt
on the part of any foreign government TO
establish predominant interest there.
Great Britain, declared Mr.. Brodrick,
had no desire TO occupy the country or TO
establish a permanent mission in Thibet,
but the government was absolutely re-
solved that If any power is to be FREEDOM
inant in Thibet it must be Great Britain.
The Liberal leader, Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman, warmly criticised and con-
demned the mission and the slaughter
of the Thibetans.' declaring that Mr.. Brod-
rick's explanations of the reasons for the
mission were wholly insufficient The de-
bate ended with short speech by Premier
Balfour. declaring the mission had no ul-
terror objects. The last thing the govern
ment desired. he said, was to add to its
Indian frontier responsibilities.

resting easily and that he considered the
danger point to be past.
1t was simply nervous collapse" said
DR.. FoXworthy, mot at all remarkable
when YOU consider the strain under which
Mr.. Brown has been laboring. L do not
look for any change of his condition dur
ing the night, and think that he is out of
danger, although his condition was serious
for a time.
The sudden collapse of the convicted man,
following closely on the news of the YER
Gict. created intense excitement in the En-
glish and at other points in the city where
the news spread. Reports that the stricken
man was dying were heard and widely cir
