Lahore, British India, April 81
Rifles and twenty rounds of ball
cartridges have been served out to To-
cal volunteers in consequence of signs
of marked unrest among the Hindoo
student elements. Publication of in
flammatory a4d seditious articles in
native newspapers, melting race
hatred against Europeans and de-
manding native control ,6f the govern
ment of India by means of an elected
parliament has been followed re-
Gently by riots at Lahore and else
where in Punjab and by attacks on
Europeans.
Professional and political agitators
are now fomenting strikes on rail-
roads, and the government has con-
cluded that is time to suppress rioting
by fOrceful means ii necessary. The
authorities are satisfied that deter
mined front will speedily end outward
signs of disaffection, especially as they
have the unanimous support of the
great Mohammendan population, who
at numerous mass meetings have
emphatically condemned the anti
European movement. Recent events
have given a remarkable impulse to
enlistment in volunteers. Recruits in
clue five judges of the supreme court,
directors of public instruction, univer-
sity professors, high government Of
ficials and leading bankers and mer-
chants all of whom have entered the

Associated Press to Tho Evening Times.
Chicago, April 27.-The problem of
reducing the time for unloading cars
at lake ports loaded with freight for
steamship lines was under discussion
at the meeting of the American Rail-
way association.
Representatives of marine lines were
invited to participate in the discuss
sion and responded to the number of
forty. 1t was estimated that $4,000
cars arrived at lake ports with
freight for steamers during the sea-
son of navigation, and the average de-
lay in unloading cars is six working
days At some ports, the lack of facili-
ties caused delay and at others the
non-arrival of vessels to which cargo
was consigned. 1t was generally CON
ceded that an improvement couIl be
made in the handling of cars, and even
If the average was reduced but one
day, it would mean the use of $4,000
cars for that time and an additional
income to the railroads of ap-
proximately $750,OOO.
