and the motive has been similar. since the agi-
tators have been trying to command the a+tep-
ton or the authorities by making themselves
troublesome. Unlike the suffra gists they have
been armed with clubs and swords. and while
despised as brawlers by the natfve soldiers

Punjaub is quieting down but there ia much
excitement in Eastern Bengal, with increased
etans. John Morley is showing himself a firm,
administrator, and the Radicals have not been
drawn into dangerous sympathy with what Is
ostensihly a home rule movement conducted by
the educated East Indians. but in reality more
closely resembles an agrarian agitation sup
ported by criminal agencies. The Liberal Min

TR4NSTAAL LABOR PROBLEM
The South African market is disturbed by ru-
nors that General Botha committed himself
while in London to the policy of expatriating
the Chinese from the Transvaal He is reported
to have agreed not to renew the licenses Of the
chinese in the next six months. and thus will
deprive the mines of one-third OF their labor.
The government here is credited with the pro-
posal 10 return the favor by giving an imperial
guarantee for the Transvaal loan. South Arri-

right. What is probable is the adoption OF a
temporizing policy by which the scheme will be
played with for the sake of the establishment
Of an Irish treasury and an attempt will be
made to squeeze larger concessions out Of a
luctant ministry. The Liberals would be better
pleased with uncompromisng antagonism Mr..

groups in the conference. and the proceedings
were not harmonious except when the subjects
were safe. The Premers have carried away the
impression that they may obtain what they
want If the Unionists are in power four years
