'THE BENGAL CONSPIRACY Westminster Gazette Objects to Teddy's Proposal to Fortify it, London, Sept, 5. --Theodore Roose- velt's demand that the United States fortify the Panama Canaatset forth in bie speech at Omaha, yesterday, is -char- acterized by the Westminster Gazette to -day as "a direct rejection of the terms of the American and British agree- ment of 1901, uuaer which the neutrali- zation of the canal is guaranteed." The carrying out of such a plan, the Gazette says, `would mean the tearing up of the agreement." The paper admits it to be reasonable that the United States should assume some military control over the new wa- terway, but suggests to the former pree, ident of the United States should secure any desired alteration of the ternisof the agreement "through daft - 'untie methods and not by a repudiation of its engagements." NO SOLDIERS Troops Not Allowed as Bodyguard for Papal Legate. ,.•••••••••.•••••••• Proposal to Make Montreal Civic Reception Open to All. Montreal despatch -Considerable Bur - prise has been caused by the reception of an order to -day at military headquar- ters from Ottawa that the militia, must not turn out for the official reception to Cardinal Vannutella the papal legate, to -morrow afternoon, It had been plan- nea that a detachment of the Duke of York's Royal Canadian dHussars should act as a bodyiruard to the cardinal le- gate, but the oraers from. the Militia Department prevent this, and the Hus- sars will be replaced by a squad of mounted police. No explanation of the order is forthcomnag. out it issupposed that it is made on the ground that no troops must turn out for such functions without authority from Ottawa. Questions of dress and social preced- ence have become quite lively in connec- tion with the social functions attendant unon the Eucharistic Congress. This provoked considerable discussion at the City Council this afternoon. The muni- cipality is to give it reception to Cardi- nal Vannutelli on Thursday evening at the City Hall, at which the attendance is by carefully selected invitation, with the provision that the men must be in evening dress and the ladies in black, while low-necked dresses are tabooed. Tereau this afternoon moved that the reception should be open to all, and that there should be no dress provisions, so that the masses as well as the classes should. have an opportunity to be pre- sented to his eminence. After a warm debate the motion was met with a tie vote, which was broken by Mayor Guer- in, who voted against the motion. • e* A CRAZY ONE.

Forty Two Hindus on Trial for Plot- ting Against the King, Human Head in Basket Used to In- timidate Witnesses, Prisoners Sit in a Row Laughing and Joking in Careless Way. Londou, Sept. 5. -An important trial is taking place at Dacca, India. Forty- two Hindus, many of them men of um. ture years and of recognized position, are charged with conspiracy to subvert British rule in India, with sedition, and With waging war against the King -Em- peror, An attempt has been made to 'abut - date witnesses by sending to the police a parcel containing it human head and Warning that a certain Itigh official will shortly be beheaded. The prisoners were arrested in the first week of this month. In Calcutta the police seized documents revealing a conspiracy affecting every province in India and extending even to Burma; jewelry believed to be the proceeds of dacoity or political blackmail, and machinery for making cartridges. Counsel. for the prosecution, in his opening speech, said that more arrests were pending. s He added that the conspiracy had started in 1905, when eertain Calcutta gentlemen came to Dacca, made inflam- matory speeches, and induced their hear. ers to take an oath that they would sacrifice their lives for their country. Counsel then read extracts from books belonging to persims concerned in .the conspiracy to show- bow the text of the sacred books, "Kill and you will reach Heaven," was employed to inflame the younhful mind. Counsel said that Mr, Surendranath Banerjee, editor of the Calcutta Benet lee, was the author of a preface to it book on the rise and fall of the aedi- Hons.. The book was written by Klima dini Mitter and Krishna Kumar Mitter, the once -deported agitator, who is a cousin of Mr. Arabindo Ghose, the Ex- tremist leader. The preface which first appeared as a review in dr. Banerjee's newspaper in August, 1900, says that the book sbould be in the hands of all sehoolboys, and quotes the passage from the Scriptures, '"Suffer the little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven." The Crown produced a Bengal agent who penetrated into the secret society and was even admitted to the Inner council. This man described the organi- zation and explained how dacoities were planned paid arms collected. He stated that some Europeans at Natrainganj "who did not care whether British rule was overthrown or not" were selling arms to the natives. A second agent who also succeeded in gaining admission to the secret delibera- tions of the conspirators stated that Ile was told that British rule in India would come to an end in five years, when Bal Gangadhar TOM: (the Extrem- ist writer) would be Ring and it person called "P. Misser" would be Viceroy. The accused sit in long rows behind iron bars in the court in careless at- titudes, their arms round each other's necks, laughing and joking. Mr. Banerjee was a. delegate to the Imperial Press Conference in London, and during las stay Jit England made a number of conciliatory speeches. • *.• FRUIT CROP.
