Tb0 stoýry con- tained in the M~ue Bok is o! very great initerest, revealing as it dSs the international influence, in the internai affaira of nations. The dangerous na- ture of thxe pligue, and the fear of its spread ta Europe, cnnsed the Govern- ments of the Continent ta bring pres- sure 'ta bear, on the Blritish Government ta prohibit the annuad Mussulinan pil- grimage ta Mecca from ILndia. The In- 7diaji Government, whicb was awakie ta tthe danger of thus opposing a barrier Lta the inost cherished desire af every devant Mussulman, and had-apparent- ly same idea that sanitary re-asons were not the only anas prorupting the pres- sure of the, European Governments, an- xiously asked the India Office, i Lon- don whether the Sultan a! Turkey wvas amang tlhe poweris urging that the pli- grimage might be prahibited, as, if that were the case, it wdiulýd strength- en their hands in dealing with the ques- tiaix. The Sultan, it wouid aeem, Lad been approached On the subject, but, with biis usual'deaire .ta discover saine advantages for hianseif, would give, no decisive answer, and declined ta use bis influence in the wýa~y it was îlîesired. Meantime the urgency of the Enropean Governments was such that Lard George Hamilton, Secretary cf State, for Jindia, having the chaice o! two evi, chose, as he thotflght, the leat, and preesed, on the Indian Government, the cessation a! the piligrimniage for the seaadn. Thée e!!ect an the Mussulman mimd o! such action can be easily imag- ined, and ail reports fromn Indis go ta show that the reséntment among that section a! the population is stiniulated actively by political agitators, who see an oppertunity for strengthening sen- timent against Eniglish rule. The political assassinations atPoong,, in the Bom}bay Presidency, appear to have beoin due wbally ta the stubborn iÉsistence o! the India, Office in Lon- don on draistic application o! the regu- lations for the suppression of the plagne. In Bombay itself the pravin- cial Governiment carried ont the sani- tary regulatioas isnch a way as ta conflct as littie as possible wîth the religious and social prejudices of the people, and einployed in the sanitary service, s0 far as possible natives Xof the sane religion and race as those in- habitîuig the districts infected with the diseasel. The resuit, i the opinion of the Bomnbay authorities, was that they averted n, calamity,, more serious and more widespread than the very terrible onc with which they had ta deal. At Poona the case was différent, The re- gulations were applied lin their full vi- gar bY Mr. lid, who was assassinat- eýd, desoribed as an - uxsympatheti, suIsp!iciolns, and lgh-handed o! ficer," with the resuit that the native spirit was aroused, and the events which we have heard of followed.
