recent unrest permission has been given
TO volunteers at Lahore. India. to with
draw their rifles and twenty rounds Of
ball ammunition individually from the

These events have given a remarkable
impulse TO volunteer recruiting. Among
the recruits are five judges of the supreme

chief engineer, the accountant general
and other high officials. besides the lead
ing bankers and merchants all OF whom

Threats Of strikes. acts Of insubordina-
ton. and other excesses have been fer
mented at various stations Of the North
western Railway by travelling profession
al political agitators. The manager Of the
railway has issued a notice recognizing
the possible existence Of legitimate griev-
ances, and assuring the employees of the
readiness Of the government TO consider
sympathetically any respectful represe-
tations Of the men. but warning the dis
affected classes of the consequences Of
lawless methods.

comments Of a native newspaper in the
case Of a native accidentally shot by
European.

sentenced In February TO two years inn
prisonment and dne Of 1900 rupees, and
The editor TO six months Imprisonment
and fine Of 200 rupees. for exciting ha-

sympathizers with the prisoners, mostly
Of the Bengal, Babu, and student class.
paraded the principal streets Of Lahore
shouting and gesticulating In wild lamen-
tation. They also hooted every European
they met. and stopped 20 hoot and declaim
before the Offices Of the Civil and Mill
tary Gazette.
There was an appeal which was heard
IN the chief court on April H. The court
upheld the conviction and sentences but
changed the Imprisonment from rigorous

he would have been pleased TO reduce the
sentence had the prisoners expressed con-
