The pres* dispnti lies that have found their \v:u into Aineriean newspapers fail to jrive a coinprehensive idea of the real situation in Hindustan. Lord Curzon on the eve of his assumption of the vice royalty declared India to be “the pivot of the Itritish empire." ‘*lf this empire." he emphatically de dared, “lost any other parts of its dominions we could survive, hut if we lost India the sun of the empire would set." Today this “pivot of the i’rit Ish empire" is wahhlinu Britain is apprehensive lest this "sun of the em pire" is losing its potency. Already hloody demonstrations have taken place in different parts of In dia The Punjab, at one end of the country, is rent with riots. The two Rentals, at the other extremity, are proclaimed hotbeds of sedition. The presidencies of I tom hay and Madras are disaffected. The unrest in Calcutta, the upris- burs in Rawalpindi, the riots in Lahore and the agitation in Bombay and Mad ras. separated from one another by hundreds of miles, indicate that cotn- muiidv of interest is binding the races, nationalities and castes of Hindust.i!' together, inspiring them to act In con cert.

But Siena I- e intent t<> remain itself, neither ymbiiioiis nor dejected. ! ,- v ing itself with iis old industries itiie smell of tin* tanneries, as in the da; - of St. Catherine, never out of its streets), keeping its beautiful old things quietly, not trying to make now things like il; *:u: content with tlie old limits and with all old tilings as thoj were And tin* splendor ami dignity 'if itr past siil! live nobly in all the walls of Siena. Its history is written there in stone and with a lasting beauty on the walls of all its palaces. Palaces line the streets.

Towers, structures like prisons, gloomy remnants, which stand at street corners or between shop and shop, come into the pal tern naturally, without incongruity All Siena is of one piece, and at night sleeps together with the same tranquil sleep. There L in tlie streets ar night a cu rious sense of quiet, not tlie quiet of suspense or desolation, but rather of people who prefer to stay indoors in their own 1 • oq walls and win dow s bet ■ .-i a ibe* * a l other people, in a quiet frie idi.v aloofness.
