THE BASTAR STATE RISING.
t is clearly established, says the Pioneer,
it the origin of the recent rising in Bastar
ist be sought in the precincts of the local
lace. Here on one side we find a Rajah
en-
ying the powers of administration jut
cising them mostly through the Dewan,
ported official of comparatively recent
intment and superior attainments to
an
ap-
the
ople surrounding him. On the other side the
nior and Junior Rani and the middle aged
lative of the Kajah, had been accustomed
take a considerable share in the direction of
fairs until their activities were abridged by the
pointment of new Lewan.
This was the situation up to a few months
ro when new circumstances occurred to ag-
ava e the position. The Junior Rani was-unex-
ectedly found to be in a position which gave
romise of an heir and a successor to the
lajah. The discovery could hardly have been
cceptable to the Senior Rani, who is child-
ss, nor more so to the middle aged relative,
ho in the failure of direct heirs seemed to
ive every chance of the succession, while
th the disappointed parties were united in
dislike for the new Dewan who had come
tween them and the practical management
affairs.
The intermediate steps may be traced out
the course of an inquiry, but it is notori-
is that the first proceeding of the rebels
as to march upon the camp of the Dewan,
lio had to take refuge over the border in
le Chanda district. If he had fallen

the
ad-
he hands of the rioters there are some
ould not have mourned. In any case
ising would blacken the credit of his
tinistration and might procure his removal,
t appears too that among the earliest rioters
rrested by Mr. Gayer were certain palace
huprasis, who could give no good account
f what they were doing in such company.
The Meriars themselves, when questioned,
lleged as their grievances that they had been
lade to build houses and other forced labour
r officials, that school-masters obliged them
j furnish provisions and otherwise behaved
with a high hand, with other complaints of a
nore or less petty nature. The actions of the
ebels in burning schools suggest that the
ducation department is genuinely unpopular
n Bastar, but it is impossible to suppose
hat the causes, such as these, would have
wrought about a general rising.
ent
timul
Far from being a spontaneous outburst of
up feeling the outbreak must have been
lated with elaborate diplomacy, which
ne would not have expected to find in these
rimitive parts. In recognition of this aspect
f the case the Senior Rani will probably lead
r some time a retired existence and the

The Chief Presidency The name given to each of the three divisions of the territory of the East India Company, and later the British Raj, on the Indian subcontinent. Magistrate of Madras
passed orders on Tuesday, in the case in which
Mr. A. H. Pollard, proprietor of Pollard’s Lil
liputian Opera Company, charges Mr. F. J.
Rouse, contracting engineer, with kidnapping
certain minor members of the troupe. The Ma
gistrate held that the evidence of the defence
witnesses sufficiently proved that Pollard con
sented to the removal of the children from his
charge and that Rouse bona-fide believed that
he had Pollard’s valid consent to their removal.
The accused was, therefore, acquitted.
Orders were also passed on Tuesday in an
other matter relating to Pollard’s Lilliputians.
This was in the High Court before Mr. Justice
Wallis, in which Mr. Pollard applied for an
injunction to restrain Mr. Rouse from giving
public performances with the aid of the minor
members of the Company, and to restrain him
from taking the children out of the jurisdic
tion of the Court, pending the disposal of a
suit filed against Mr. Rouse for Rs. 50,000
Jamages in connection with the same circum
stances.
His Lordship found that on various occa
sions Pollard had lost control of himself and
had subjected the children to cruel and unjus
tifiable violence. An improper intimacy with
one of the girls of the Company had been fully
proved and Pollard had broken his contract
regarding the education of the children- The
revolt of the children did not appear to have
been brought about by any sinister influence
on the part of Rouse. There would be a danger
to the children if they were returned to Pol
lard and regarding the corruption there was
even stronger evidence that they would suffer
contamination. The plaintiff had by his con
duct disentitled himself to the custody of the
children and his application was dismissed
with costs, the defendant undertaking to send
the children back to Australia, Mr. Counsel,
being in charge of the boys and Miss Thom of
the girls.
The children will leave Colombo for Aus-
ralia on the 23rd instant.
The members of the Pollard Lilliputian
Opera Company who filed suits for wages and
passage money from Mr. Pollard obtained
decrees from the Small Causes Court and took
out warrants for the arrest of Pollard in ex-
cution of the decrees.
An appeal is made through the Madras press
for money for Lilliputian Repartriation
Fund. This fund was originally sufficient to
send children to Australia, but a long, enforced
stay in Madras has depleted it, and Rs. 2,000
more is wanted.
SIR CHARLES ALLEN
Sir Charles Allen was operated on Wednes
day in the Rajeeling Sanitarium.
He was not well when he left
Calcutta with Sir E. Baker and grew worse
during the tour. When going up the hill he
became unconscious in the train and was car
ried into the Sanitarium where he collapsed,
it is thought that the trouble was due to
appendicitis.
Sir Charles Allen died on Wednesday night at
the Sanitarium, Darjeeling, failing to rally
after the operation.
Sir Charles Hildersden Allen was born in
1864 and educated at Haileybury and at Bal
liol College, Oxford. He entered the Indian
Civil Service in 1883. He was Settlement Offi
cer at Chittagong 1892-8, and Director of
Land R cords, and Agriculture 19012. In
1905 he was appointed Chairman of the Cal-
'utta Corporation, and the skilled way in
which he performed his duties at a time when
reeling ran high after the amendment of the
constitution of that body was much praised in
Calcutta and suitably rewarded with a knight
hood in 1908. His administration if paternal
was eminently successful, and Calcutta loses in
him a most valued citizen.
The President of the Railway Board, the
Hon. Sir T. R. Wynne, arrived in Karachi by
the Punjab Mail, on Monday, accompanied by
the Hon. H. P. Burt, C.I.E., Manager, North
Western Railway, Mr. G. Denchars, Govern
ment Inspector of Railways, and several heads
of departments, including Mr. R. C. Dyson,
Engineer-in-Chief, Mr. A. Rowland, Deputy
Locomotive Superintendent, and others. The
object of the visit was to inspect the develop
ment now in progress in Karachi for dealing
with the greatly increased traffic, during the
forthcoming busy export season, and in the im
mediate future.
The President of the Railway Board left for
Keamari by motor car within fifteen minutes of
his arrival at the Cantonment station, and a
long day’s inspection was carried through. Sir T.
R. Wynne was accompanied by the principal
officials of the North Western Railway, and also
by Mr. H. C. Mules, M.V.O., Chairman of the
Karachi Port Trust, and Mr. Graham R. Lynn,
Chief Engineer. All the various Port Trust
development schemes were examined ‘in situ.’
On Tuesday morning the new export yard and
railway approaches thereto, including the new
reception sidings and proposed hump for facili
tating, shunting and sorting operations, were
carefully examined. In the afternoon an in
formal meeting between the President of the
Railway Board, the Manager of the North
Western Railway, and the committee and mem
bers of the Karachi Chamber of Commerce, was
held when railway matters affecting the welfare
of the Port were discussed at length. More
money for railway developments, the extension
of the metre gauge to Karachi, and the present
position of terminal facilities at the port were
the chief matters discussed. It was generally
recognised that the local preparations are well
abreast, if not in advance of, the developments
completed and in progress on the North West
ern Railway.
The President of the Bailway Board and other
railway officers were entertained at dinner, at
the Sind Club by the committee of the Cham
ber, on Monday evening, the Commissioner in
Sind and the Chairman of the Port Trust being
among the guests. Sir T. R. Wynne and party
left Karachi on Tuesday night by special train
for Lahore.
THE PUNJABI LANGUAGE.
What has now established itself in the
Punjab as the Urdu versus Punjabi contro-
veisy figured largely in the programme of the
Educational Conference, which was held in
Amritsar and was at Ended by large numbers
of >ikn gentlemen from all parts of the coun
try. Seven out of the twenty resolutions pas
sed at the conference dealt with this ques
tion.
It was resolved that the Punjab Government
be again respectfully approached with a re
quest that primary education at least be
imparted through the medium of the Pun
jabi language, the mother-tongue of the Pun-
iabis, that the Punjab Government and the
Sikh States be again requested to introduce
the use of Punjabi in the civil, criminal and
revenue courts as the Government of the
United Provinces of Agra and Oudh has per
mitted in the case of Hindi.
Another resolution was to the effect that
the Director of Public Instruction be again
requested to make proper arrangements in
primary, middle and high schools for the
introduction of Punjabi as a subject of study
in training institutions and order all inspect
ing officers to undergo test in Punjabi, in
order to qualify them efficiently to examine
boys and girls reading Punjabi in the schools.
Another resolution pressed the claims of
Punjabi Urdu and Hindi for recognition as
alternative subjects with Arabic, Sanskrit and
Persian in the matriculation and intermediate
examinations of the Uni ersity.
