YEAR 77-NO. 136 KINGSTON, ONTARIO, MONDAY, JUNE 13, 1910. NEW INDIA Is What Britain Has To Administer MUST GIVE NATIVES A GREATER SHARE IN THE AD- MINISTRATION. What Earl Minto Says About the Con- dition of Affairs in India--Japan- Russia War the Cause of the Re- cent Unrest, New York, Jane 13.--In a recent in- terview at Calcutta, with Frederick GG. Carpenter, a Chicago journalist, the latter asked Earl Minto how he liked his position as viceroy. His excel Jency replied that what the governor- general of Canada "accomplished had to be done almost altogether through influencing others, 'the governor-gene- ral having little actual power in the administration of affairs. In India the viceroy and his council are almost supreme, and they have a world under their control, Said Earl Minto : "But few peuple appreciate the ex- tent of our Indian empire. We have hers & continent rather than a coun- try. There are 300,000,000 people sub- ject to us, and they belong to many nations and tribes. They speak more languages than Europe, and the na- tions are as different as are those of the European countries. Hindustan has many religions, each with its own customs, It has a vast number of classes and castes, many of which do not harmonize at all with the others, It is a land of mighty problems and of some, almost inscivable, "India is changing. The peaple nre different now from what they were five years ago, and the policies which. the wtate has siceetsfully used in the past are pot adapted to the present. In that lies one of our great troubles. "I mean the making our people at home understand that they have a new India to administer. They are apt to think a policy should be adopted because one of the Anglo-In- dians who left here twenty or thirty years ago said it worked well in his day, and that it ought to work well now. They appear to thirk that a man who served India ten years ago should be able to ny i and advise ole. The conditions are pcr and they grow more and more ie 3, so oy year, "Many of the changes have come about through the policies which we ourselves have inaugurated. We have created an educated class, and this is made up of natives, who are thinking for themselves, und who believe that they should have a greater share : in the. government. In the past our ad- ministration was praetically sutocra- tice. We must rule the country, to- day, but we shall have to adopt con- eilintory methods. We shall have to use more diplomacy and. give the na- tives a greater share in the adminis- tration. This change is the natural ol of the movements which we ourselves have started, and I think it is a change for the better. "The awakening of India, if you eall it by that name, is going on in nearly every part of the peninsula, al- though it is more pronounced in Ben- gal n otherwhere. There are seve. ral sections' of the country in which the movement is quite active. The un- rest began previous to the Japan-Rus- sin war and has grown rapidly since then, "The natives, who are Asiatics, then saw sn Asiatic nation victorious over a European one.' They began to en- uire that if this were possible for the Japanese why should it not be pos sible for them, They asked thei fellows why India should remain under the rule of the British and discussed that jon here and there and all over the country. I think that war was, lo a consid extent, the cause of the great t of to-day." Noted Temperance Lecturer Dead.

Tha. Duke of Con- BE South QUEER CONFIDENCE TRICK. Defrauded in Ottawa by Couple of Crooks. Ottawa, June 13. Two "men" from France visited the Upward market on May 29th, and there met Memansse De- veaux, a farméc, of East Templeton, and his son. The two were making an assiduous search for the Basilica and the hospitals, and this fact they leonfided with Deveaux, adding that a late brother of theirs had recently died and left 550,000, of which $5,000 was meant for charitable purposes. They required two executors to man age afiairs for thém, and, looking over {Deveanx and his son, who was with him, they decided that these were satisfactory men. For the work they would give them 3500 each, but the two first required some security, De- veaux told them thit he had $336, and to talk matters over they went up to Parliament Hill. Here the two gentle- men produced a box, inside which was a spindle on which was wrapped the £5,000. Deveaux looked through a hole and as the handle was quickly turned he saw the money flying round in the box. He then handed the two Frenchmen the $336, which was put into an envelope, around which a handkerchief was wrapped, and then put into the mysterions box, which was handed to Deveaux with orders not to open it for several dave. Days passed and Deveaux got tired of waiting and opened the box, which was filled with waste paper. Then De veaux went to-the police. It was learned, to-day, that the two erooks went over to Hull and repeated the trick, bot were fortunate in guining E150. The police have a de scription of the men and are making a diligent search for them. | Farmer : only us he ENE 3 SPEAKER CANNON.

Mr. Asquith's statement in the commons, to-day, is now anticipated with the keenest interest. The suggestion of a conference has met outspoken opposi- tion on the part of the labor leaders. Ramsay Macdonald, - speaking at Loughoorough, - Saturday night, said he was sorry there was going to be a conference. No compromise, no bar- gain, no accommodation could be ac cepted by any body of men determined to make the constitution workable. The veto resolutions were an absolute minimum. In any case, Mr. Macdonald denied the right of the two fromt benches to settle the question. They, he said, no longer represented the commons or the opinion of the coun- try. Philip Snowden was equally em- phatie. Any compromise, he said meant that the liberal party was dead beyond resurrection. This is also the view of the nationalists as expressed bv the Freeman's Journal. It 1= understood that Lord Kitchener has asked leave to resign the Mediter- ranean command, to which he was appointed last August, succeeding the Duke of Connaught as inspector-gener- al of the Mediterranean There has been recently a strong agitation to have Lord Kitchener appointed to A more weighty position such as viee- rw of India.

Then which MARY KILLED ---- Great Disaster In Herald Building, Montreal WATER TOWER FELL WAS FOLLOWED BY A FIERCE FIRE. AND Workers in the Bindery and Job Rooms Were Killed as the Huge Structure Cut the Building in Two and Smashed its Way to the Base- ment. Montreal, Que, June 13.~Herald Building, Victoria Square, is in flames The water Jower collapsed and many people are believed to have been kill od late this forenoom. The fire made a fierce blaze and the entire city brigade is already fighting | the flames or on the way to the scene from distant sections of city. The water tower went through to the basement. It was constructed some years ago when the building was remodelled and considerable spent on it. William Taylor, foreman of: the composing room, who escaped with severe Injuries, believes there must have been fifty killed. The collapse of water tower, he says, practically out the building in two. The fire started up in all directions immediately af ter. The fire seems to be under control now, but the whole plant is a wreck. The Lodies of several girls, employed in the bindery, have been taken out of the ruins. It is sad the collapsed water tower was built on the roof without adequ- ate support beneath awd the officials were warned at the time it was erect- ed, four years ago it was not safe. It is impossible yet to get intelligible re- turns of dead and injured. It is said the prinsipal loss of life is in the bind- ery and job printing department. These were Dearest the path of the collapsed tower. The editorial and business of: fices in the front part-of the building, escapes, f : Every available ambulance in the city was hurrigd to the scene to take as many of the injured as could be rescued. Uobs were also pressed into service, Victoria Square is a strug- gling mass of humanity watching the efforts of the firemen to conquer the fire. The fire started from the collapse of the Water tower above the roof. This broke the gas pipes to the machinery and set fire to the debris. Various es- timates are given of the dead some running as high as forty. Many are buried under the debris and will prob- ably be burned to death if they are not already dead. The fire spread very rapidly and was a furnace by the t'me the first contingent of firemen arrived. It is still burning fiercely and looks like a total loss to plant and building. Detective Carrington went into the basement with the firemen and says it is impossible to say how many there are buried under the tank, There could not be more than fifty, but there would probably be twenty. The injurad are widely scattered, ten am- bulantes being engaged taking them away. Before the first reel arrived the fire was shooting through the roof and soon spread to all parts of the build- ing. This ig the fifth time the Herald has been burned out in twenty-five years, once being situated immediately across the street from the present site. John Taylor, manager of the Herald, estimates the dead at 30. The financial 'oss is estimated at $250,000, Likely Roasted Alive. Montreal, June 13.--At 11:20 o'clock, this forenoon, the firemen, with great difficulty, pulled eleven people out of the ruins by throwing ropes around their bodies and drawing them out. All of those brought out showed signs of life, but they were terribly mangled and the sight was a horrible one, as the piteous moaning victims were be- ing moved in stretchers to the nearby ambulances, which were hurrying to- wards the hospitals as fast as the horses cond travel. At the very outset, twenty people were found so badly injured as to warrant their being immediately re- moved 'to the hospitals. All the linotype machines fell through, adding to the pile of wreck: age, in which the helpless sufferers are caught. peculiar feature is that Stanley Bwiteer, who was at his machipe when the water tank crashed through, fell to the ground floor and then orawled out, practically uninjured, but terribly frightened. At noon a sting wind was fanning the flames, ie had, this time, eaten their 3 from upper storeys down to the front door, near to the spot where it = i the to-day. 8 MURDERER COMPOSED.
