LONTrtXV. Nov. 28. (poiial.) 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.
CASHIER fS SENTENCED
Montgomery irts IS Years. Denying

riTTSBrKG. Nov. ;s. William
Montgnmerv. ex-cashier of the Alle
gheny National Bank, which failed for
nvrr $1.0rt0.i,oi) some time ago. was
sentenced to serve 1 eara in "the
Western Pennsylvania Penitentiary to
day by Jii'liee Young, of the United
Slates lrcuit Court.
.Montgomery was sentenced upon two
Indictments charging him with the em
bezzlement and abstraction of over
J.ioo.ooo. 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.
The bank also lost, but I think with a
proper bank examiner It would not
have been closed."

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

from Boston to make certain. They said
no mistake had been marie, but the prin

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.

KOHLSAAT RVLF.S AGAINST
MOCLTOX AND KOSENFKLD.
.iloney Paid by Officials fur List of
Pollcy-Holders in Worthless Com
pany Is Ordered Returned.
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.
