CONSPIRACY IN INDIA.
NO SIGN OF PANIC. An authoritative statement from Simla, where the Central Indian Government is at present installed after the customary move front the plains during tire hot weather, says that, while labour troubles and Communist activities undoubtedly exist, India generally is quiet and peaceful. Nevertheless, adds the statement, a terrorist conspiracy definitely exists although it is confined to certain provinces and a limited number of individuals who are organised into groups for the purpose of carrying out assassinations and other political crimes. The discoveries of live bombs in S.aharanpur and Lahore apparently confirm the belief of tire authorities regarding these conspiracies, which tho police are investigating, and there is every reason to expect that they will be traced to the source. Special measures to prqtect "officials and public men are obviously necessary after the bomb outrage in tho Legislative Assembly at Delhi, when five persons were injured, but it is authoritatively believed that the extent of revolutionary crime and the ramifications of the Terrorist organisation have been somewhat exaggerated.
Tho “red” letters originally came from revolutionaries, but many are now ascribed to a childish desire to cause a mild sensation.
