attacked the blockhouse which guards
the Afghan end of Khyber pass, but
were repulsed and retired. Willcocks

At the same time comes news Of the
discovery of wide reaching conspira-
cy in India to destroy prominent men
with bombs. many of the latter being
found at Calcutta and General Kitch-
ener being marked for assassination.
The bombs were of the latest pattern,
with electric batteries to explode them.
Besides the bombs library dealing
with the science of explosives was
found in the same place and much
seditious literature. Many arrests have
been made. All over India the people
are believed to be preparing for revo-
luton to throw off British rule.
Liberals Barely Win Election.
Another byelection held last week In
England to fill vacancy in parlia-
ment was virtually a defeat for the
government, although the Liberal can
didate managed to pull through by a
majority of eight votes in total Of
1920. This is expected to increase the
difficulties of Churchill in his canvass
at Dundee. The latter had an amusing
experience with a militant suffragette,
Miss Maloney, there when he tried to
| address an outdoor meeting of laborers.
She was angered against him for say
| ing that the suffragettes had allied
themselves with the liquor interests.
When he began speaking she raised
such a din with big dinner bell that
he had to give up his meeting.
