GANDHI REBUFFED.
SPINNING SPECIFIC FAILS. AN "ABSURD" IDEA. CALCUTTA. May 13. Gandhi's prestige suffered a serious check when tho Mahratta Provincial Congress decided that it had no faith in his panacea of spinning as tho sole medium of salvation for India.

Gandhi, who is touring Eastern Bengal, continues to receive affectionate welcomes from the masses, but the educated classes have abandoned him.
