INDIA'S REHABILITATION.

DHINGARA'S DASTARDLY. CRIME. BROTHER'S DRAMATIC APPEARANCE. (By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright.) LONDON, July 6. Mr Aga Khan, head of the Ismaili Mohammedans, presiding over a distinguished gathering of Indians, at Saxton Hall, said that they had met to rehabilitate themselves among their fellow-subjects of the Empire, in face of the dastardly act that had been committed. Mr Theodore Morison, a member of the Council of India, then led forward an Indian youth, and explained that the latter was Dhingara's brother, who had asked what he could do to show hLs repugnance of his brother's act.

Mr Morison said he had told him that his duty was to come there to show before his compatriots that he dissociated himself from the deed, and he had come with dramatic suddenness. The incident created a great sensation. The meeting resolved, at the instance of Sir M. Bhownagree, ex-M.P., to express its horror and indignation at the murder. One dissentient expressed disagreement with the motion, and this evoked cries of "Eject!" and he was ejected. SIR WM. WYLLIE'S FUNERAL. AN IMMENSE ATTENDANCE. (Received 8.40 a.m.) BOMBAY, July 6.
