UNREST IN INDIA.
VICEROY WARNED. (United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received December 8, 8.50 a.m. DELHI, Dec. 7. Evidence of the acuteness of the political feeling in Calcutta is furnished by the action of Dr. Urquhart, principal of the Scottish Church College, who has written to the Viceroy, Lord Irwin, and Lady Irwin requesting them to abandon an engagement to attend the forthcoming college centenary celebrations, as information Ims been received that “an attempt emanating from outside sources will be made to mar the harmony of the proceedings on the occasion of your visit.” FRONTIER CLASH. British troops were in conflict with Afridis on the Aka-Kliel Plain on Thursday. Captain St. Clair Ogil-vie-Will, adjutant of Rattray’s Sikhs, was killed by an almost spent bullet, and a private of the Seatorth Highlanders was wounded.
Troops were covering roadmaking parties when the Afridis opened fire and attacked boldly until checked by a bayonet charge. The Jat Regiment and Seventeenth Dogras did good work, driving the attackers back.
