STEPS TO CRUSH OUT ALLSEDITIOH British Government Seems to Be Worried Over Conditions in India

SPEECH IS CURTAILED.

Men talking against British rule are jailed new8 of interest by palladium's 8pecial correspondent.

By William True Hawthorne. London, Oct. 33. The British govternment is not willing: to admit that t Is seriously worried over the unrest Sn India, but evidences are not lacking

that It is taking every possible step to crush out the spirit of sedition. For example, a Reuter dispatch from AllaJiabad conveys the intelligence that Hotllal Varma, a native Indian leader, lias Just been sentenced to five years

three charges of sedition, the sen

tences to run concurrently. He had

previously been sentenced to five years

transportation on the same charge.

Going to Hong Kong, he continued his seditious teachings to Indians residing

there, whereupon he was carried back

to India and the imprisonment sen tences Imposed. ,

Freedom of speech is one of the things your Englishman, most highly

cherishes, and the fiction has been

maintained that free speech extended to alt British possessions. In order to jnaintaJn the theory, the sedition laws have not been rigorously enforced in

India until lately, but now men are not

only being sent to prison because they

rtare speak against the continuance of

British rule, but newspapers published

in the vernacular are suppressed for

chiticism of the government. In view of this new "heavy hand" policy in India, it. will be more or less difficult for the British government to convince the, world that it is not unriTjsy over the spirit of revolution which Js spreading throughout its far eastern empire. British Awaken. The American housewife has long been familiar with the convenience of chopping by telephone, but the discovery would seem to have just been made In London. The next issue of the London telephone directory Is to contain for the first time a classified business directory of telephone numbers, such as the telephone directory of every fair sized American city contains, and the London " newspapers , are making a great to-do over it- The large London shops are organizing departments for handling telephoned orders (such as every large American department store has), and the newspapers are devot

ing much space to educating English women up to the advantages of buying by telephone. They treat the subject as if another Columbus had discovered another America. r Wilkinson Fathers "Change." A good deal of atention has been given the fact that through the death of Benjamin Kennedy, Horace Wilkinson, becomes "father" of the London Stock Exchange Mr. Wilkinson has been a member of the exchange for sixty-seven years and Is still actively engaged in the brokerage business. ' Mr. Wilkinson, however, is much more Interesting as a collector of curJos than he is as a stock broker. He has one of the finest collections In the world, but his particular prize is the mummified head of Oliver Cromwell. The discovery of this curious relic, which Is thoroughly authenticated, was made many years ago, and Mr.

' Wilkinson is said to have parted with

several hundred thousand dollars in order to become its possessor. Memorial to Dickens.

The Dickens Fellowship has under

advisement the project of purchasing

property and retain the name "Bleak House" it would be countenancing the fraud, harmless though it may be, and should restore the name "Fort House," the place would cease to be associat

ed in the popular mind with Dickens

and his works. The Fellowship, there

fore, is having a hard time making up

its mind. Unless it steps and saves

the house, it will be razed to the ground at an early day and a market house erected on the site.

Change in Battleships. From naval sources the intelligence

comes that there will be some striking changes in the new British battle

ships soon to be laid down at Portsmouth. The aim of British naval designers is to get rid or "top hamper." They have achieved a great deal in vessels of the Dreadnought type, but still the ideal ship of war has not been attained. This ideal is a ship that could sro into action with no

deck structures other than the gun shields. At present funnels are necessary, but perfection of the suction gas engine, it Is hoped, will do away with them. Some other Important changes are contemplated and the drawings for the new ships will be awaited with much curiosity1 by naval experts the world over. Three Nations Sued.

All Europe is Interested in legal action begun by Mme. Cotton a French lady, to recover something like four million dollars, with interest compounded at three per cent, for something over a hundred years. Defendants to the suit are the Austrian Empire, Republic of France and the Kingdom of Italy. Mme. Cotton is tne authentic representative of a financier who, two hundred and fifty years ago advanced the Zecca bank of Venice a sum of gold equal to four million dollars. The bank paid interest on the money for more than a century, but finally there wa3 a quarrel among the heirs and interest payments were stopped. Wben Napoleon Bonapartet captured Venice, under orders from the Directory, he got cash from the bank and took it to France, where it has since been held by the French government. Italy and Austria are cited in the suit because each in turn has owned Ven

ice and been responsible for her debts. Twenty years ago the French chamber of deputies passed a bill author

izing payment to Mme. Cotton, but the

measure was nullified by the excheq

uer. Now she brings suit and lawyers believe she has good prospects of recovering the enormous sum she de

mands. America Steals Actors.

Dramatic writears for the London

papers have discovered a new American invasion about which they are

complaining bitterly. They charge

that American theatrical managers

keep constantly In England agents

on the lookout for promising talent,

and that as soon as an. actor shows promise he Is carried off to the Unit

ed States by the lure of gold.

iThey admit that America sends her greatest stars to England, but it is asserted that as they only come for short visits they do not make up for

the permanent loss of the best Eng

lish talent. It Is recognized that the remedy lies in paying more money to

English actors at home, but instead of

doing this the Engllsn managers fill their places with inferior and even

cheaper talent, and the result is that

the English stage is gradually deteri orating.

It is true that Dickens lived in this house for a couple of years and did pome of his most notablo work there, but he did not write "Bleak House" while living there, nor did it figure in any way In that story. Dickens knew the property as , Fort House. The name "Bleak House" was given it by the tenant who succeeded Dickens. If the Fellowship should - acquire the

CONGRESSMEN ALL

"HAVE FIGHTS AT HOME"

Excuse for Not Traveling Since Passes Are Withdrawn.

Washington, D. C, Oct 31.Speaking of the fact that members of congress do not travel as much as they did In the days of railroad passes recalls that both, the campaign, committees have found this cause of complaint. This Is the first presidential campaign since the anti-pass law be-

members

of congress were very willing to take the stump outside their own districts and the most they ever asked was that their hotoel bills be paid. Now they ask railroad fare as well, and

some of them have even, demanded that they be paid for their time. Others who did not quite have the nerve to ask that their railroad fare be paid have declined' Invitations to go on speaking tours on the ground that they had "hard fights' at home. As some of these excuses have come from districts that are absolutely safe for the member making them, the managers of the speasers' bureaus have to charge up the reluctance of orators to the fact that they no longer can ride on passes. The assertion is made that fewer members of congress are taking part in the campaign this year than ever before.

INVADES CONVENT YARD. Tramp Creates .Consternation Among -- Nuns. " San Jose, Cal., Oct 21. George Carter, a hobo, in some inexplicable manner, managed to get inside the high walls of the Notre Dame convent of this city, and the unexpected sight of a villianous looking individual on the premises caused a panic among the pretty boarders and nuns. Carter conducted himself in a shocking manner, and an appeal for help was sent over the telephone. In Justice Dougherty's court an hour later he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to serve three months In the county jail.

Boy Come quick! There's a man been fighting my father more'n a half hour! . Policeman Why didn't yon tell me before?
