THE INDIAN CONGRESS.

Received January 2, 9.38 p.m. Calcutta, January 2. The Indian Congress has closed. Naoragi claimed that the people of Tlndia were entitled to self-govern-ment like the United Kingdom or the Colonies, and appealed to the Mahommedans to assist, as without thorough political union self-govern-ment would be unobtainable. Three thousand delegates attended tbe Mahommedan Educational Congress at Dacca, and decided to form a Political League of Mussalmans of all parts of India to promote loyalty to tho British Government and advance tbe political rights of Mussalmans. The Nabob of Dacca declared that a mischievous section of the India Congress extremists had made it compulsory to form a league to prevent Moslems being submergd by the enormous noisy Hindoo majority.
