LORD MINTO'S SENSATION

ANARCHICAL CONSPIRACY

LORD KITCHENER BESPOKE AS VICEROY. 3Y ELEOI 810 TELEQBAPH —OOPYBIGHI PEE PRESS ASSOCIATION. Calcutta, February 9. The Indian Legislative Council has 2>m, sod the Anti-Seditious Press Bill, after a seven hours' sitting. The A 7 iceroy (Lord Minto) caused a sensation by stating that the Government- had decided to release the deportees imprisoned fourteen months ago, on tho ground that the political movement of which they were leadj ers had since degenerated into an anarchical conspiracy, waging war against British and Indian communities alike. It would be long before the evil was exterminated unless both communities worked together. He believed that the release of the deportees would encourage mutual efforts.

The Indian members of the Council cheered the announcement, but English opinion gravely questions the wisdom of tho release, believing that it is due. to pressure from Downing street, London. London, February 9. The Daily Mail states that if the Liberals remain in office long enough Lord Kitchener will succeed Lord Minto as Alceroy. The unsettled condition in India demands a Viceroy whose character and training inspire confidence in Europeans and Natives alike.
