CAUSE OF MUCH OF THE
UNREST IN INDIAN EMPIRE
Brahmins Considered Largely
Responsible for Trouble

A. B. Napier. an official of the Brit
ish Indian civil service. who arrived
here yesterday on the japanese liner
Tenyo Maru, believes that the ring
leaders responsible for the recent mur-
ders and attempted murders of govern
ment officials in India are all now in
custody and that their conviction Will
put an end to the reign of assassina-
tion. In nearly every case. he says, the
conspirator has been a native with a
purely personal grudge against either
an individual or some branch of the
government.
He blames the Brahmins for much of
the unrest in India. Not many years
ago. he said, it was deemed a praise
worthy act to give a Brahmin few
villages and contribute to his support.
AS education spread. however, the attf-
tude of the people changed toward the
Brahmins and now they are left largely
to themselves. The land that once
came to them without asking is now
heavily mortgaged and the new gener-
alton has no compunction about fore
closing.
Another passenger on the Tenyo was
John Adams Thayer, who is Interested,
not actively now, in Everybodys Mag
azine. He has been making tour of
the world and is going to New York,
he says, to start another magazine.

Figures Showing Vast Proportions OF
Industries and Commerce.

From the Wall Street Summary.
We are the greatest agricultural manu-

domestic commerce is two and one-half
times the aggregate international COM
merce of the world. The nations sell to
one another merchandise to the amount
of $12, 600 900. 900 a year. One-eighth Of
this commerce originates in our country
and one-ninth reaches our ports for ulti-
mate consumption. The annual profits
from the trade Of New England and the
middle states with one another Is a sum
greater by 20 per cent than the sum of
the profits Of the foreign commerce of
Great Britain. Germany and France. Our
factories produce more goods than all the
factories of Great Britain, Germany and
Belgium
We have as capital in manufacturing
enterprises $4,000, ,000.0 900; the employees
are $500, 900; the annual wages are $3,-
$50, 600, 900. The value OF the products
from these factories in year running
at full time Is $19 $500. 900, 900. The value
of our annual OUTPUT of manufactures
has been doubled within a decade. Our
capital invested in manufactures is one
eighth of the value of property OF all

the industries based upon agriculture, and
the manufacture of products from the
