POLITICAL ASSASSINATIONS.

LONDON, July 10.-The effect of
the assassination of the president in
America is the only adequate com
parison to the profound sensation
caused in this country by the murder
of Sir Wm. HUT Curzon Wyllie at
the hands of young Indian fanatic
crime was purely political and in
stigated by the leaders of the an
archist revolutionary party which has
created widespread agitation in India
for the past two years. The tolerance
of the British authorities both IN
England and in India, who have per-
mitted open incitement to outrage
is now the subject of the most severe
public reprobation.
Shyamaji Krishnavarma is the
London head of the sedtious Indian
propaganda. He publishes without
restraint in his organ the Indian
Socialist, such views as the following
which was taken from the current
issue,
1--WE repeat that political assassina-
ton is not murder. All unprecedented
men treat political assassins, not as
criminals in any way but often re
gard them as benefactors of theiI
race"
Krishnayarma, in the light of the
crime and speaking from the safe
distance of Paris, reiterates these
ideas. Krishnavarma' headquarters
has been two years in the India House
at Hampstead, where he has been us
ing his seditious influence to corrupt
the Indian students, of whom there
are always about 500 in London.
A friend of Dhinagri, the assassin
of Sir Wyllie, explains their methods
and also the probable origin of the
murder of Wyllie. He says Dhinagri
went early on the evening of the
murder to the residence of lndiar

Pollen, who is perfectly faminar with
its effects, Immediately noted the
symptoms when he saw Dhinagri after
the murder. When he was drunk the
plotters crammed an armory OF

A written statement which was
found in Dhinagri's pockets, but not
yet published, confirms the evidence
that the motive for the crime was en-
tirely political. The selection of Sir
Wyllie as the victim may not have
been deliberate. He happened to be
the most prominent man present al
the reception representing British au-
thority in India. He also happened
to be the warmest friend the natives
