THE NATIVE STATES AND THE
DEMAND FOR "SWARAJ."
To THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Az n AJbAAOR vi he Il M
Sir There is a good deal of talk going
on these days about "swaroi " or the max
ing of India a seIf-governiDg country. The
words may sound sweet upon the ears of
WcR lighthearted people as have no stake in
the country, but certainly it jars unpleasant
ly upon those of the native chiefs of India
who have II self-government of their own,
and feel naturally anxious at the vagueness
Of the proposal, which, even with the most
favourable Interpretation, is sufficient to
cause them alarm.
We in India are almost accustomed to
hear such unmeaning and hollow cries, and
would scarcely have troubled our head about
them had it not been for their echo which
is now and then ominously reflected from
the white cliffs across the English Channel.
There are 689 self-governing States in
India just at present, the states and indie
pendence of each of which is clearly defined
and guaranteed by the British Government
and embodied into treaties and engagements.
The question now naturally arises: What is
this now self-government meant to bessP Is it
meant to be the 630th State coordinate
with those already existing, making each
State free to make pence or wage war with
each other, and thus bringing India once
again on the verge of the internecrne war

on heavy cane lands and in the mountain
civilizations of the peasantry. SO marked
are Gthe good qualities of this cane that
$4,000 tops of this variety, out of a total OF
about 10000 tops distributed by the Station
in 1907, have been supplied to the estates.
Although B. 208 does not give SO rich a
Juice in Jamaica as it does in Barbados, it
gives a big yield of cane, and It's sturdy,
upright habit is q feature that marks it ont
as peculiarly fitted for cultivation under IL
rigation.
B. lat has been tried fairly extensively
by estates and found as a rule, a cane of
somewhat tricky character. 1t has, how
ever, SO deep roofing a habit of growth, that
it has shown itself a splendid cane on the
heavier soils Of Trelawny and outclassed all
other canes in a season Of trying drought.
The glucose ratio Of the juice is apt to be
high, but on an estate making a good rum
this can hardly be considered as a matter
for regret when the price Of muscovado su-
gar is rs low as it is at present.
d. 80 has proved itself a good cane, par
ticularly on light soils with irrigation. Until
we received the new Seeding b. 1929, which
has the sweetest and most concentrated juice
of any variety ever tested in jamaica, D.. 90
has always headed all other canes in the
~ AAACo' fiNh N'A'' VI Us jaw DHiHN ~
tates have found d.. % a useful variety for
giving ripe canes at the beginning Of crop
owing to It's early maturatlon. 1t IS, how
ever, rather a delicate cane and is sadly la
BILE to leof-rust on some soils, and is quite
incapable Of resisting any stagnation Of soil.
water. The so called ID. 90 canes Of Albion
estate that achieved such excellent results
OH that estate have proved on trial ut Hope
to be ID. 80 and d. 135-the former a green
cane, the latter u red one. To the latter
variety, d. 1876, and not to the real D.. 50,
must be attributed the fine return of 3 tons
OF sugar per acre obtained by Albion estate
in 1901, to which reference has often BEEN
made in jamaica.
OF new canes, ID. 625 and d. 1,438 are of
decided promise and are receiving attenti N
for estate trials. 1t is disappointing to find
however, that the severe drought of 1907
has shown that d. 625 is quite unable to
Withstand such adverse conditions.
The White Transparent is a better cane
than the old Black cane of Trelawry or the
Ribbon cane. 1t gives juice of good quality,
yields a good proportion of tops, and ratoons
well. lis defects are a liability to lodge,
and an agricultural yield that is capable of
being improved on by selected Seeding
canes.
Selections from our own Jamaica seedlings
are now beng tested on estates. AT the
Central Station, they ~outclass all other canes
IN clean, vigorous growth, and, if lheir early
promise be maintained, should afford vulu-
able canes for estate use. The severe
drought through which we have passed
during the present year, 1907, has shown
that some of our own seedlings have extra
ordinary vigor and power of resistance to
dry weather.-1gricaitn0ut NeeS, 2Sth Noe.

timely advent Of the British Power? Or does
it mean the combination of these States into
q federation dixie the United States of
America) and subordinated to a central Gov
eminent presided over periodically by Bosses,
Iyengars, Ghaswallas, and Ranadess Or is
it seriously contemplated to merge these
Native States along with the British districts
into one selfrgoverning State, making them
lose their identity and Individuality, to pre-
serve which our forefathers sacrificed their
dearest and best, and for the preservation of
which the faith of the British nation is
pledged?
The British public should know that the
native chiefs of India will not brook snch
nonsense talk, and it is high time that it is
pat a stop to and officially declared against.
India of the present day was not found out
by chance. The fabric of the Indian En-
pire was slowly but patien thy built by the
most gifted statesmen Of England who work.

of the best British and Indian talents, and
has been raised after centuries Of hard

my Imagination how trade and MINER can
flourish under the ban of boycott of foreign
goods. 1t is very easy to stop all imports
by boycotting products OF othor countries,
but what is proposed to be done with our
enormous exports Do our irresponsible

| -Mrs. Hall ADDS something to story
OF Her Husbands Attempted Suicide.
Mrs. Florence Frances Teall Hall began
| In the Supreme Court yesterday a suit for
divorce from her husband, Vaudeville
! de Marigny Hall. who was arrested In Lon
don on Tuesday on charge OF obtainin
by false pretences- an automobile worth
| s6, 900 from Paris automobile company.
Mrs. Hall names as correspondent Vida
Wlntmore, the chorus girl who went to
Jersey City on May u with Hall. was mar
ried to him and then went to Europe with
him.
Mrs. Halls lawyer. John Linehan, OBJ
tanned from Justice COT yesterday an order
allowing service OF the summons by pub
hcation. II is made plain in the affidavit
on which the order was granted that Vida
Whitmore and Mrs. Hall arc acting to-
gethsr and that Vida has supplied Mrs.
Hall with Information on which she bases
her action.
Mrs. Hall, who was Florence Frances
Teall, the daughter Of Rochester mer-
chant, was married 10 Hall on July 0, 1908.
two years after he was graduated from
Yale. His father, William C. Hall, who
lives at 50 West Ninth street. was q famous
Yale oarsman and q member of one Of Bob
Cooks crews.
Mrs. Hall in her afadavit tells Of her
husbands marriage to Vida Whitmore and
travels abroad with her. She says that she
is informed and believes that her husband
has been passing bad checks and Is wantsi
for swindling hotel In Paris. She has
been informed by Vida whitmore that Vida
was walking with Hall on their way to the
Marathon races when Hall was arrested on
this charge. Then Vida returned to this
country, and about ten days after his ar
rest Hall cabled to her asking for financial
assistance. Mrs. Hall asks for an absolute
divorce and alimony, cash preferred to
checks.
According to Vida whitmore. Hall told
her that he was divorced. that his father
was dead, which isn't 90. and that he had
inherited o large fortune from his father.
After she had travelled around with him
some time. Vida says. he pawned about
$4,000 worth Of her jewelry. He didn't
like to see 1t around because she had got It
from another adnirer and he promised to
give her s2s 900 pearl necklace. She has
not got the necklace.
In January Hall shot himself al his fathers
home In this city. The polics first learned
Of tho shooting when thsy were told that
he was In Roosevelt Hospital with q bullet
wound In his. side. Hall said that he had
taken his revolver TO clean 1t and accident
ally shot himself.
Mrs. Hall has told her lawyers that abe
was In Rochester then living with her par
ents. The shooting was on January II
aud she had left him not long before that.
About an hour before he was shot. she
says, he telephoned to her ct Rochester
asking her TO return to him. She refused,
che says There was q report that after
Hall was taken to the hospital he tried to
jump from a window, but this was denied
by the hospital officials.
