for Ears has not yet been nominated and
Mushir-us-Sultan continues to act.
On April 1st a circular telegram from
the Prime Minister^ was received, forbid
ding agitation in favaur of a republic undtr

to have had little effect in checking demons
trations, and the military are reported to
be as active as ever. The general public,
however, are now thoroughly tired of both
reoubh^an and cmfi-republioan agitations.
