Sympathy for Lord Curzon.

A Significant Despatch. Received August 22, 8.26 a.m. LONDON, August 21. Unanimous symp'atliy is felt in India for Lord Cuvzon, who has been eight, weeks abed. The correspondence. excites much attention, and shows that the Government's attitude respecting the Indian army system was supported by Field-Marshals Lord Roberts and Sir George White, and Lords Elgin, Cromer, Brackenbury, and MiDavid Balfour. One of the most pointed phrases in Mr Balfour's despatch reminded Lord Elgin that the choice of members of the Indian Council rested with the Secretary of State, and that General Barrow had no real liking for Lord _Curzon's system. Widespread recognition is given by the newspapers to Lord Curzon's great abilities and to his work. Several point out ! that it is a struggle for vice-regal autocracy.
