Concerning the Younghusband ex-

then it instantly ceases to be but the

shilation. This was lucidly manifested
in India in 81, when the Sepoy re-

again in Egypt, from so to the EOS;
every time the Soudanese fanaticism
of religious right asserted itself it

the political chessboard when, it is said
she promised an entire and absolute in
dependence to Tibet if she closed her
trading ports to England and India.
Now the possibilities arise of all the
Buddhists who are in sympathy with the
dalai lama of Lhassa commencing sys-
tematic guerrilla warfare that will be a
menace to British India for years, and
let me say with absolute assurance that
had not Russia been involved in this
war she would have objected to Britain's
move in Tibet, and they would in all
probability be now engaged in nasty and
disastrous conflict.
while the terms Of the treaty signed in
the lofty city of Lhassa, 1900 feet above
the sea, will not be known until they
are published in Simla, 1t Is quite evil
