Has the unprecedented visit of the ldng-emperor been a success? Will the astonishing changes In Indian administration which he announced at the Durbar prove to be, as some think, a master stroke of statesmanship, or has England made a colossal blun , der, which will Imperil her po sition in that Asiatic empire which she has gov erned so successfully for more than a hundred years? These are questions which Indians and Eng lishmen alike are asking. Lord Curzon, Lord Minto and others have announced that they will bring the matter up In the house of lords as soon as parliament raeeia u&u.m. mi. qulth has given assurances that it will receive due consideration in the commons. While no one professes to regard the announcements made by the king as anything but final, there seems to be a growing realization of the grav ity of the changes, which at the time of their announcement were somewhat overshadowed by the pomp and pageantry of the great Dur bar. Details of the changes are now available, and it appears that the transfer of the capital from Calcutta to Delhi is only part?and not necessarily the most important part?of a far reaching scheme of provincial readjustment which will affect 82,000,000 human beings and an area as large as that of France or Germany. The province of Bengal, which was partitioned by Lord Curzon In 1905, against the violent protest of Its people, and which has been the headquarters of the sedition In India ever since, is to be reunited. The great divisions of Behar, Chota Nagpur and Orissa, which now belong to Bengal, although their populations are distinct in race and language, will be de tached from Bengal and form a new province, under the control of a lieutenant governor and council. Assam Is to be separately adminis tered by a chief commissioner, as was the case prior to 1905. Lastly, the province of Bengal is to be raised to the rank of a presidency (after the example of Madras and Bombay) with a governor from England appointed by the king. It is hardly an exaggeration to say that no such sweeping administrative change as this has taken place since the British crown took over the government of the country from Dnof In^lo />r\mr?onv of fha nlnaa nf tVm mil tiny In 1858. As to the motives which prompt- , ed the move there Is a conflict of opinion. The nationalists regard It as a victory for their cause. They consider that the modification of the partition-of Bengal?which the English au thorities have repeatedly declared would never be altered?is ti confession of weakness on the part of the government, and some of the lead ers of the unrest are bold enough to say that the government transferred the capitol to Delhi because Calcutta had got too hot to hold it. On the other hand, the dispatches which passed between Simla and London, which have now been made public, contain an array of practical arguments in favor of the change, which suc cessfully disposes of any theory that the gov ernment was driven to the measure as the re sult of seditious agitation. In less troublous times the move would seem justified on plain administrative grounds. As it is, it must be on o hr>lH oYTioHment whirh Ir art tUUOiUCl CU u wviu ? .v mlrabie in theory, but which in practice can only be justified by success. Curiously enough, its first effect has been precisely the opposite of what was expect ed. It was thought that the Mohammedans would hail with joy the establishment of the central government in the ancient cap ital of the Moghul emperors. On the con trary, they have been the first to denounce the arrangement, declaring with true In dian perversity that sentimental considera tions mean nothing to them in comparison with the loss of their political power in the abolition of the province of Eastern Bengal. It is not the Mohammedans, but their ances tral foes, the Rajputs, who welcome the es * * " 1 x - a Vtln AOOV rno taDiisniimii 01 um ucipitai wuiuu c?oj ? of their territory. The Bengalis, too, who were* expected to resent the loss of prestige to Calcutta involved in the transfer, have de clared that they are more than compensated by the wisbed-for union of the Bengali peo ple. The Hindus in Eastern Bengal have been lighting bonfires for a month past in celebra tion of the event So far as can be ascertain ed the inhabitants of the newly created prov ince of Behar and Orissa are pleased at their release from, Bengal domination. Bombay, the Punjab and the United Provinces are sensible of the advantages that will accrue to them for geographical reasons. The rest of Lidia is in different. Delhi is regarded by the government as a better place for a capital than Calcutta, be cause of its historic traditions, central lo cation, and better climate, which will en able the viceroy and his staff to reside there for all but four months of the year. On the other hand, it is more removed from the commercial interests and active life of modern India. Europeans in Calcutta have not hesi tated in declaring that it will be little better than a "Simla of the Plains." The rearrange ment of the provinces will make for greater ad ministrative efficiency, though that again is criticized on the ground that the modification of the partition of Bengal i6 a useless con cession to an agitation lhat was already prac tically dead, while it will undo all the good work which has been started in the backward WOULDN'T PART WITH "CAT" "I " " all memb Pathetic Exception Made by Sir Wal- J?88' ter Scott When He Was Giving. belong to Up His Fortune. ^ was ' Acuities < Nearly everyone thinks tnat ne, knows what a cat Is.

The government % denies this. The announcement of the great changes has had at least one effect that is already appar ent; it has immensely impressed Hindus and Mohammedans alike with the power of the emperor. Although King George stated at the Durbar that he was acting on the advice of his ministers, this seems to have been ignored by the mass of his subjects, who fell that here was a ruler indeed, whose lightest whim was law, and who could change at a word the foundations of government and the established order of generations. I suppose that few offi cial announcements have ever been more dra matic. Perhaps a dozen men out of India's 300,000,000 were in the secret, and to the rest the declaration came with the surprising force of a revelation. It is precisely for this reason that anxiety is felt over the ultimate reception of the propos als by the Indian people. When the awe caused by the visible presence of the sovereign has passed away, it is feared that fierce opposi tion may break out in many quarters. The original partition of Bengal was thought at the time to be an innocent measure, but it stirred up disloyalty in half of India, "turned two provinces into hotbeds of sedition and pro voked a series of anarchistic crimes which has not yei corne 10 an enu. iue pieocm. inaugco claim to be purely administrative, but the pe culiarly secret and arbitrary way in which they were determined may prove an excuse for pew discontent. More than one English official who was at the Durbar expressed the opinion that the next year or two would see another wave of anarchy and sedition incomparably greater than anything India has yet known. The government does not hold this view. It re mains to be seen who is right. Two important facts, in any case, have been made clear by the publication of the dis patches. The first is that India is at last be ing governed once more from India and not from London, as was the case when Lord Minto was viceroy and Lord Morley secretary of state. The entire scheme for tbe cnange or capuai and redistribution of provinces originated at Simla, and was embodied in a dispatch from the central government to I>ord Crewe, who accepted the proposal without a change. It would be interesting to know whether Lord Hardinge or his council are principally re sponsible for the undertaking. If the for mer proves to be the case, current views of the new viceroy will have to be revised. It argues more than a little courage and initia tive In a man who has been in India barely a year to risk his official reputation on such a hazardous measure. The other fact disclosed by the dispatches is an important intimation of England's policy regarding the future government of India. Lord Hardinge and his associates state in so many lat his knowledge embraces ers of the family.

In other words, the old bureaucratic regime, which began with the first victories of Clive and the taking over of th8 Bengal diwani by Warren Hastings is confessed at least to be a failure. Decentraliz ation is to be the watchword from this time onward. A new India is gradually to be form er, on the model on Canada. It will consist of a group of confederated states, financially in dependent and legislating for themselves in lo cal matters, but subject to the control of the central government in imperial affairs. In name there will probably be little change, for the government of India is slow to move and conservative, yet this Is, baldly stated, the sig nification of the plan. At the same time a further extension of the principle of self-gov ernment Is indicated. To judge from the words of the dispatch, the central authorities are at last alive to the fact that the government of India must not only be for the Indians, but to a large extent by them, If It hopes to endure. Lord Hardinge's words foreshadow a speedy enlargement of the elective element In the leg islative councils and are the most Important pronouncement in this respect that has been heard since Lord Morley made public his deo laration to grant his famous' reforms. The general effect of the king's visit seems to have been strengthening the loyalty of the Indian people to a degree that surpassed expectations. The wonderful spectacle of the Durbar made a profound impression, and when the king and queen later stood on the wall of the fort in Delhi and received the homage of an adoring crowd of more than 100,000 natives, it is said that the scene was indescribable. Gray-bearded men bowed them selves to the ground and others wept for joy and mothers held up their babies above their heads to see and be blessed by the emperor. avi ihuf imnnonprt At the lavine of the first stones of the new capital gained the king a great reputation among the people. As he was about to touch one of the stones with his golden trowel he noticed that it was not quite straight, and asked the master mason to bring it into better alignment. The ceremony was stopped for a few minutes while this was done. The story spread like wildfire through the bazars, and waa accepted as an omen by the natives, who now firmly credit their em peror with almost supernatural powers of dis cernment and a determination to establish the foundations of his city so surely that it will last through all the ages to come. No seditious attempts were made on the life of the king, although the murder of a police inspector in Eastern Bengal the night before the Durbar gave eloquent testimony to the fact that disloyalty still exists in some sections of the population. The release or remission of sentence of over 180 political prisoners was a move of the king'B, which added to his popular ity, while his concessions to the native army and the gram or money ror uie extension ui eu 'ill, It stands up mother'8, and she st set on It before not worth three noney." iir Walter append etch which does {ill in drawing.

It Is safe to say that If the new re forms are followed by a further extension of rep resentative government King George will be re garded by the mass of Us Indian subjects as one of the best beloved emper ors that India has ever known. Hindu and Mohamme dan sentiment have for ages marked out Delhi as the real native capital, for has not Delhi, no doubt, mainly from its geographical position, be come the capital or every invading and conquering dynasty as it swept over Hindustan from the northwest from time im mortal? To prove this the traveler has only to wander along the saniy banks of the river Juma, and also to realize the mortality of empires, for one can clearly see, as in Rome, cities built upon tbe ruins of cities, and in ad dition the relics of many a Hindu capital of bygone ages. The Delhi of today is of course the mighty city of Shah Jehan, with its seven gates and as many arches. The Delhi of the future will be built on the site of the recent Durbar camp. This Is situated some miles from the site of the old Mogul capital, as the famous mutiny ridge camp separated the latter rrom iue luimu camp. It will have the advantage of being built oh fresh ground, a by no means trifling detail in India, where sanitation is of para mount importance. From the point of view of climate, also, | there is no doubt that Delhi possesses great ad vantages over Calcutta. To the newcomer in J India Calcutta is described as having one hot month and eleven?hot months, whereas the cold weather of Delhi is delightful. Another important feature of the proposed change is that the position of Delhi will re move the headquarters of the government from the environment of what is known in India as the Bengali element. This type of super educated Indian native has undoubtedly been responsible in no small measure for the agita tion caused by the partition of Bengal. This innovation was initiated by Lord Curzon and though the agitation against it was never really popular or in any sense national, yet this noisy Bengali element succeeded in raising a clamor quite out of all proportion to their actual num bers, aided as they were by the vernacular press. The further partition of Bengal, re cently announced, may have the advantage of further decentralization of the unwieldy ma chine of teeming millions already divided by Curzon's action. 1 o-q Af I AnOttier great auvaiiinse m mc | the capital is the fact that Delhi is undoubted- | ly much more in the center of the fighting races than Calcutta. The great native princes much more easily can assemble there. The Shikh and the Rajput princes are nearby? the Maharajah of Kashmir, the Gaekwar of Baroda, the important Nizam of Hyderabad, and the head of that well governed state of Mysore, are mostly at no great distance away, and these all undoubtedly will welcome the change of capital.
