James De Conlay, in London Express.
 Englishmen today are more interested in Shyamaji Krishnavarma than in al- most any other living individual. Last December while interviewing Krishna- varma at his headquarters in Paris. distinguished French editor was informed of the Indians conspiracy to drive the British from India. Look here," said the conspirator, as he held up a small printed sheet little larger than a theatre pro- gramme, this Is what is frightening England" The sheet was the Indian So- biologist. monthly paper. printed In English by an English firm in England, for several years circulating free and untrammeled among the Indian students in London, and until recently widely dis tributed in India
 Eighteen months ago Krishnavarma, having arranged his finances, voluntarily exiled himself from England and every other part of the British empire and took up his residence in Paris, where he gathered together his colleagues. Since that time he has been active in dissemi- hating his teachings and In completing the organization which is to terrorize England.
 Late in May last accompanied by one of his own colleagues, called on the Indian at his home in Paris.
 The first impression of Krishnavarma Is his determination His black hair and beard are well streaked with white, and his lips snappy and pertinacious. His physical strength is considerable, and his activity is marvellous in a man over 60 and of such great stature. He was born in the year of the Indian mutiny.
 His early training was along the an- cient Indian lines. Later he made spe- cial study of Sanscrt, which he read and wrote perfectly before he was 30 years of age. In 1878 he was appointed assist ant professor of Sanscrit at Oxford, and became the first Indian M. A at that uni- versity. The secretary of state for India sent him to the Oriental Congress at Berlin as official delegate, and on re- turning to India he held office as prime minister successively in three Indian states.
 This is the man who today is the inn placable enemy of England.
 left his home that night realizing that the individuals and governments who do not take this Indian conspirator seriously are indeed foolish, and l recognized him as the most determined man of my ac- quaintance.
 He has caught the young Oriental at an impressionable age and has persuaded him that the short cut to Paradise is through pool of Anglo-Indian blood. | An Anglo Indian" writing in the Lon don Mail, says:
 | That the primary cause of the unrest | in India Is due to the effects of western education there can be no reasonable doubt. Macaulay, who drew up the first code which forms the basis of the edu- cational system of India, foresaw its viv- flying effect. It was hoped that western education would banish superstition, big otry and ignorance from Indian life. that 1t would make that life cleaner and hap pier. that 1t would produce men capable of serving their country under the gov ernance of Britain with honor and profit. and that it would engender an apprecia- tion of the power of England and of it's free institutions.
 These expectations have been largely fulfilled. Education has certainly pro duced many brilliant men capable of serving their country with honor and ad- vantage. But has bred vast discontent. It has acted as strong drink on the brains of youth. We have poured new wine into old bottles, and the skins are stretched to bursting
 That we should lose India by a revo- lution Is impossible. In organization, in resources, in unity of purpose and dogged courage we are superior to any races that inhabit India We can hold her down, and probably would, if necessity or dained. What! one might exclaim. Two hundred million people! Yes, two hun dred million people-the majority of whom are ciphers.
 Are we to consider, then. that our policy of higher education is @ blunder; that we have raised ghost we cannot lay, inspired a Frankenstein monster that must devour us. and that we deserve the Ills we have begotten? That, at any rate. is the opinion of the majority of the men on the spot. The Indians.' say they, have forgotten what we have saved them from: from the misrule and tyranny of their kings and princes. from insecurity of life and property, from the Thug, the Dacoit and the sudden Pindori from their own western pirates, and from Arab cor sairs; from deadly epidemics, from de- populated villages, from ill-treated wo- men, and from men and boys haled into slavery. And now we educate them, and they are driving us out
 "It is not whether India Is or is not grateful but whether 1t is reconciled to our domination. Foreign domination, one might reply, Is it's normal condition. The Persian, the Greek, the Arab, the Mogul, the Portuguese more or less, it has known them all Let us leave tomorrow, and what would be the result? India would spring back to internecine wars and anarchy. The Afghan would be at her, throat, the Japanese and the German would SCOUT her coasts and the Cossack knout his way along the Indus. But we mt fn a spite the vernacular papers and extrem- ists do the bulk of the people wish Us to
