HALF NEVER BEEN TOLD
MOHAMMEDAN LEADER talks
OF THE UNREST IN INDIA.
Special Cablegram to The Star.

CALCUTTA. July 13.-Nawab Mohinu-
mulk. the Mohamm edan leader. says that
the story of the unrest in India told in
the newspapers does not represent one-half
of the facts
Il consider that the unrest may mean dis
aster for the empire" he said. Extreme
measures may yet he necessary. The Mo-
hammedans have really no logical excuse for
disaffection. 1t was the advance alone Of
the British that saved the Mohammedan
empire from ACKNOWLEDGMENT. and all other
races should be loyal for similar reasons.
1t Is only under British rule that the joint
interests Of the Indian races can remain
blended tremendously"
The eastern Bengal government has ad
dressed a letter to the Bengal Chamber of
Commerce in reply 10 that chambers re-
cent representation OF affairs in that prov
ince. The government points out that the
most strenuous measures have been taken
to suppress the disturbances and to pre-
vent their recurrence. Commissioners and
district officers have been given full dscre-
ton in the steps that they may consider
necessary In order to stamp out disorders,
terrorism and interference with trade, and
If these measures prove insufficient the
government is prepared to charter steam
ers to patrol the rivers in order to afford
all possible protection to peaceful traders.
The government has also invited the cham

Dangerous Agitators.
At the same time some of the most dan
gerous agitators are as Industrious as ever
in their seditous and infiammatory propa-
ganda. Recent events it is true, have made
them more wary, out the feat of sailing
close to the wind mas a peculiar fascina-
ton for the keen witted Bengal. and 1t is
one at which to do him justice he Is
adept. Bande Matarma publishes a report
OF a speech delivered in a private house by
Bopin Chandra Pal, Our Gracious Pal Of
the national anthem, Indian version. Re-
ferring to the sakti worship of the god
dess Kali, he said that sakti was power and
was of two kinds, the one heavenly and
the other social
The sakti Is inherent in all but in a
sleeping state, while not in action, and the
moment it is stirred up 1T manifestS IT
self In overwhelming force. The sakti In
the Bengalese and Indian nation generally
was now in sleeping state. and as soon
as the Indials knew the power Of their
will the handful of foreigners who now
dominate over them would no longer have
the power of depressing them. He said
that until the nation made him its
spokesman 1t was needless for him to
spend words on behalf of the nation. He
did not mind who was elected to be the
speak. and the nation ought to blindly
follow him.
Watching Course Of Events.
He was purposely silent for few days.
and was simply watching the course of
events the nation chose to take. He could
direct the procedure which was now nee
essary. but refrained from doing SO until
he was convinced that the nation was
ready to adopt 1t. He did not care to go
to jail and was not now prepared to do
so for the sake Of the nation until he saw
that he was leaving many worthy sue
cessors to take up the cause He adyo-
Gated the formation in every village and
quarter Of the performance Of Rakshy Kali
Poojah every Ambashya night, where, In
the midst OF dark nights. with drums.
torches, music and fireworks vast congre-
cations should assemble and sacrifice 1O1
living white goats mot having the least black
spots to their bodies). This Kali Poojah
would not be prohibited by government. and
the holding OF such midnight ceremonials
at regular intervals would have a grand
meaning and would do wonders, as all
knew. One time chapatis had done won

Remarkable Hunting Story.
A remarkable hunting story has just been
sent to the Englishman by an Assam cor
respondent Capt. Gidney I. M. S.. and
Mrs. Gidney went on panther hunting ex-
petition in the Dinajur district. Mrs Gid
ney shot the biggest panther, a beauty
measuring a trf1e over seven feet eight
inches. and eight fell to her husbands rifle.
Six of these were over seven feet six inches.
The bag Is very nearly a record for two
rifles. In six weeks in the same district
Capt Gidney shot fifteen panthers. An I'M
pleasant adventure fell to the lot of Capt.
and Mrs. Gidney one occa sion.
They were both on an elephant and had
sighted panther. Capt. Gidney was about
to fire when their thoughts were rudely
turned from sport.
One of the beating elephants disturbed a
swarm OF hornets, and they attacked the
captain and his wife. Driven wild by the

ran. forsetful of panthers. and forced their
way through the tangled jungle. After a
fierce fight with the insects. though COW
