WILL
 CONTINUE POLICY

Calcutta, India, November 5.--(special) That England intends to continue her pol lev of taking prompt steps to suppress all revolutionary movements was indi- cated in the speech delivered by Lord Minto at farewell banquet recently de- llvered at Sinla.
 After reviewing the governments sue cessful frontier policy, he said he felt that there was in India widespread po7 ntical unrest, quite apart from revolu- tionary sedition. Ambitions whose jus tice could not be denied had come into ex- istence These he would term loyal un- rest. These were due to the iipening or the educational seed sown by British rule, and accelerated by the deep impress sion produced in Asia by the successes of an eastern military power. The viceroy continued:
 ..Ihere have always been undercurrents In India, hostile to British rule. emanat- ing often from traditional religious beliefs and superstitions, by which political asi- tators have attempted to profit But the problem with which the government was confronted in 1906 was something much more genuine. and therefore much more serious It was the assertion of political awakening.
 we had come to the parting of the ways, and to my mind there has never been a shadow of doubt which was the right road to follow. It was perfectly open to us either to refuse to recognize the signs of the times or to recognize them and attempt to deal with the new conditions. I can only say that if we had adopted the former course, we should have gone back on all we have said and done in the past and alienated from the cause of British administration many who have been brought up to its doc trines and built up hopes on belief in It's justice.
 '.They would have been driven into the camp of the enemy to become traducers of British rule. We should have perpet- uated discontent in India. Holding these views, we decided that the time had come for a further extension of representative principles in our administration. That decision was arrived at by the govern ment of India after mature considera- ton. and was warmly accepted by Lord Morley to whom we owe much for the eloouent and powerful support he gave us at a critical time."
 The viceroy next alluded to the Muzuf- ferpore murders and the ManilSt0llah garden discoveries, which gave warning of the anarchial plot aiming at the de- struction of the British rule. and said: "The so-called oppressive legislation was our reply to anarchy. What was the

Relies of Luther

Berlin, November 5.-(Special) )-Valua ble relics of Luther and Melancthon, the leaders of the Reformation, have been found in very curious place at Witten- berg, in Saxon Prussia. The weather cock of the principal church in the town was being repaired when the workmen found a metal ball under the cross. This ball was hollow and made to open, and inside were discovered two ancient docu- ments One dated 1880, is signed by Mar tin Luther, who himself had written three of the four pages, the fourth being cer tificate affirming that Luther had written 1t himself. The second document. which is dated 1856. is also of four pages. and is written by Philip Melanothon, the friend and disciple of Luther. Both Luther and Melanothon are buried in the church above which these writings of theirs had been hidden for nearly four centuries.

The other day as 20 work girls came out of a dressmaker's shop in the Rue Boi- leau at midday an arm encircled the waist of one of them.
 The girl protested indignantly. The too gallant intruder was well dressed, but he was hideous little person
 The girls began making fun of him, when suddenly he caught hold of one and put his face close against hers. She boxed his ears and he dropped on all fours and bit her leg.
 There was a panic. The girls rushed off shrieking, and two policemen arrested the aggressor The creature was a chim- panzee, the pet of an explorer living near at hand. He was captured after a strug- gle and carried off by his masters cook who went to fetch him at the police sta tion, where he had spent the night.
 An amusing item of the story is that the magistrate got very angry with the chmpanzee when he was first brought in because he refused to answer any ques- tions. He was highly indignant when told that he was talking to a chimpanzee. His honor being near-sighted did not know that

 A sad story Is told of an old woman of S2 known In Vaugirard, where she lived, as Mother Trote, who was found early a few mornings since lying on the pavement in a pool of blood with her skull fractured. She used to stroll round the houses talking to the neigh bors, who knew her well. Leaning g heavily on a stick she would stand and talk about her daughter, who died at the age of 20 whilst bathing.
 "The lady in blue who stands up there every morning at daybreak." she would say She stands on the roof opposite my window. She Is beautiful. Her feet are white. her hair is of gold, and her blue robe is just like a moon ray. They said she died many years ago, but I still see her She beckons to me and one of these mornings I shall go to her"
 The poor woman kept her word. She apparently managed to get on to the roof No doubt she saw her beloved vision. Toward 1t she stretched her withered hands, went forward, and fell Into the road beneath and to death

CRIME IS UNEXPECTED

Paris, November 5.-tSpecial. IA crime that surpasses anything in the history of American feuds was perpetrated recently at St. Enogat. It was the continuation of a simple school boys fight, which oc- cured 26 years ago. The victim had for gotten all about it.
 The assassin, one Beslon, chanced upon bis victim, man named Gatebois The recollections of Gatebois were of the most friendly description. He could not make sufficient of the individual who struggled with himself to master the three Rs.' He gave him a good dinner and showed him over his shop, and intro duced him to many of his friends The unsuspicious Gatebois had hm again to lunch. They chatted and joked and then went into the garden.
 Beslon suddenly drew a revolver You brute" he shrieked. Do you remember what you did to me 26 years ago?" Be- fore Gatebois could reply Beslon fired, and as his old comrade fell smashed his skull with the revolver.
 Neighbors who had heard the shot took the man prisoner. Gatebois was taken to a hospital where he died the same night. Beslon remained cool. "Twenty-six years ago. he said, that man struck me when I was defenseless. 1 have been waiting chance to revenge myself"
