AN EXTRAORDINARY SPEECH. By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. (Received Jan. 3, 8.5 a.m.) . LONDON, Jan. 2. A New Year's reception to Indians of all races and creeds was held at the residence of Bcpin Chandra Pal in Loudon. Sir Henry Cotton, formerly chief Commissioner of Assam, was the principal guest. Sir Henry Cotton urged Indians not to express themselves too strongly, lost they should fall into the same trouble as Savarkar, who had been sentenced to deportation for-life. Ho hoped the Hague arbitration tribunal would restore Savarkar to Frahce, to whpso soil ho escaped from the steamer carrying him to India. Ho eulogised the ideal of India again becoming selfgoverning, but Indians should cultivate friendly relations with ■ Englishmen, in India. The ideal was not attainable in a day, but progress was being made, notwithstanding terribly repressive legislation.
