Af fairs In India liave assumed a grave apert. and. thouKh there Is a sharp difference of opinion as to the origin of the difficulties, none exists as to the extent and menace of sedition. Special Importance Is attached to the possibility supKested In connection with the demand of Lord Roberts for an army of 1.009.000 men. that. If Ger many found a large part of the pres ent Brtish forces transferred to India to quell a rebellion, she might con sider the time ripe for an act which those who march with Roberts In the discussion consider only a question of Berlin's opportunity. ' Terror ltelgn in Bengal. Amid the confusing and often con flicting; reports from Calcutta and Bengal, several facts are clear. Whole provinces are disaffected to a degree not reached since the mutiny In 1857 and a conspiracy to establish a reign of terror In Bengal has obtained a strong footing. The nipthods of pro cedure of the Indian Judiciary, espe cially In the lower courts, have ceased o command the confidence of the na tives. The large student population, thrown by recent events Into a state cf Intense excitement, is in close co-operation with the revolutionary agents, and polUe conditions invite crime. This Is a threatening situation and It Is not made less formidable by the evidence that sedition mongers have found a highly receptive soil in the ranks of the native troops. Fault Is With Viceroy. The best London opinion is that the fault lies not with John Morley. at the Indian Otflce.but with Lord Mlnto. at Calcutta, and with his lieutenants in the Indian administration. In their desire to conciliate native opinion they have sacrificed firmness to kind ness and have given an Impression of eak and inefficient control. VXITK AGAINST ' COMMON FOE Snddhtt and Mohammedans For-jt-l Religious Prejudice. VICTORIA. B. C, Nov. 24. (jfpeciul.) Coincident with the outbreak of seditious pcech by a Hindu professor Teja Singh, at Vancouver yesterday, comes the news by an Oriental liner, of a gigantic con spiracy tj wipe out the British rule in Jndia and of wholesale arrests of natives. More direful of all In its portend of evil to hitherto dominant Fritisher In Jiulia is the news that comes from the rint that the Hindus and .Mohamme dans of the HiriDire have laid nsid- their religious p4-judlces against one another ami are taking common cause against the Invader. This prejudice of Bud dhist against Mohammedan has always b-on looked upon as the one thing that made British rule In India secure, but returning misi-ionartes contlrm the state ment that the natives have, to all ap prjtrancea at leat, burled their caste prejudices and are working hand in hand for the overthrow of the forcigner'a rule in India. The agitation here in British 1'oluinbla for the deportation of the little colony of Hindus to British Honduras has raised a storm of protest on the part of tiie Sikhs, who are the most numerous of the peorles of India In tills province. In tills agitation, the leading part Is taken by Professor Teja Singh, who naa been a atudent at Columbia University, and who li started a crusade against the unjust treatment w liich his lountrymen have received at the hur.ds of the Brtti.;h. Ttiere is a regularly organized "junta" with he.-iti.i!i.irtcr at Vancouver, which hts thrt arrancements well in hand, and tjirte recently the pnlle made the dis covery tiia: -it one of the logging campi on trio Fraser Ktvrr, ttiere was a well equipped factory for the manufacture of bombs which, when completed, are for-jrs'-ded to eomp.itrtots at home in India. hoWale arrests i-ve been made in India, but the purpose of the natives, ac crding to missionaries, is not broken, and the sgltatlon now going on against the Indians in this province, is having the effect of s.ldins fuel to the flames of rebellion in the Vjisrern ITrnptre.

There were no arguments when the moiion for a new trial came up today and Judge Young Immediately pronounced sentence. Before being sentenced Montgomery said: "I never took one penny of the bank's 'money for my o n ue. Tl.c way I have been treated reminds ine of the old ds of witchcraft I was willing to go on the stand and was not allowed to. ml my case was butchered tip. At one time, about flvi. or six years ago, I was worth over $1,000,000. but in the financial flurry my fortune dwindled.

Judge McSurley said he would con tinue the case one week to allow the Governor of Massachusetts to withdraw his application for extradition and that the defendant would then be discharged. Mr. Turner was "morally certain'' but not positive of his identification of Devine and he brought two of his employes here from Boston to make certain. They said no mistake had been marie, but the prin oner was able to show that lie was In Chicago when the swindle In Boston was perpetrated. POPE DELAYS CONSISTORY Hurtles Selection of New American, Frencli and British Cardinals. ROM E. Nov. ?8. The Pope has given up the Idea of holding a consistory in December. This decision has been rec ognized partly because of the difficulty of choosing the new French Cardinals and partly because the pontiff desires the termination of the discussion of the education bill In Fagland before he cre ates a British cardinal. In the mean while the Pope will profit by the presence In Borne of Archbishop Glennon. of St. Ixiuls. and the forthcoming visit of Archbishop Ireland to study the matter of the American episcopacy, with a view of creating another American cardinal. Bishop Kdward. of Valleyncld. Canada, and Sidney fisher. Canadian Minister of Agriculture, were presented to the Pone today, after having an audience with King Victor Kmmanuel. and this fact creates considerable comment. Undertakers Consolidate.

CHICAGO. Nov. 2S. Judge Kohl saat, of the Federal Court, yesterday gave a decree in favor of the Western Life Indemnity Company for $200,000 against General George M. Moulton, Its president, and Kdward I. Rosenfeld, former manager, as well as a decree for $125,000 against William H. Gray, who preceded Rosenfeld as manager. Judge Kohlsnafs ruling primarily was based on the proposition that the three defendants failed to pay ade quate attention to the protection of the policy-holders. At the time when the improper trans action took place. In 1905. Moulton was major-general of the Illinois National Guard and head of the Knights Templar in the United States. It was in the vear mentioned that the Knights Tem plar and SJasons' Life Indemnity Com pany became the Western Life Indem nity Company. " Gray was paid $125,000 by E. Rosen feld, practically out of the assets of the company, to assign his contract as manager to Rosenfeld. This sale of the contract was held by Judge Kohl saat to be illegal, inasmuch as it was a contract of trust and dealt with a fiduciary position, and so could not be assigned. Gray is now ordered to return the amount. The $326,000 for which the decree is given against Moulton and Rosenfeld, according to the evidence, was the amount ostensibly paid by the Western Indemnity In 1905 for lists of policy- holders in an alleged worthless com- It was asserted Rosenfeld had rein sured some 30 decaying fraternal and assessment Insurance companies in the Life Insurance Company of Pennsyl vania, of which he was manager- giv ing it a quantity of sub-standard busi ness witli liens against most of the policies, so that very much less than their face value would be realized in case of death.
