Fhe capital of the district is. the City
ii Tonk, about fifty miles south of
Jaipur.
The disptach from Allahabad does
not explain the peoples grievance. Tke
assumption here, however, is that the
trouble was not directed against the
british government, but against the
ratiye ruler who, while answerable to
shs British government, has virtually
fuI powers IN the administration OF
tbs domestic affairs of his state.
Irrespective of Tonk, it is we'll known
that taxation in many of the native
states is exceedingly high and in some
cases we'll nigh unbearable, while the
people have little or no say in their
government.
Recently there has been much un-
easiness in this section of India be-
cause of the scanty rainfall and con-
sequent poor crops. Tonk is better IA
Yored in the matter of irrigation. be-
cause Of the River Banas, than many
other parts of Raiputana, but Raipu-

the rest Of the people of Rajputana are
Hindus.
The state of Tonk, which lies in West
Central India, about three hundred
miles west of Lucknow. is one of twen-
ty-one states in Rajputana 1t has an
area Of 1858 square miles and in 1911
rad population of 303,181. The capi-
raj city of Tonk has population of
$4,000. 1t is surrounded by a wall and
has a'mud fort.
The ruler of the state, who has the
title of nawab, is NJ. Pathan. He is a
Mahometan of Afghan descent. His
family was founded by Amir Khan,
who established by treaty with the
British the rights of his descendants

down a trill, changed the time in a

preters-their name Is never legion.
II you were a pianist, wouldn't you
like to play with the effortless tech
nique and crystalline purity of
Levitzki or with the luscious splen-
dor of Guiomar Novaes? The intel
lectualized performances of Serge
Rachmaninoff, apart altogether from
his gifts as composer, are as a pillar
of fire for those who know the true
from the merely factitious. The Rus
sian virtuoso appeals to the higher
intellectual centers. but can stir the
senses when he wills.

son play Beethoven than be over
whelmed by wilderness OF chatter

sire intimacy, there Is Robert Schmitz
