INDIA AND THE CONSERVATIVES SIR, —Your correspondent, Mr. Sen, seeks to

draw wide conclusion from a somewhat dusty answer I was compelled to give to a youn• Indian who was making an unbearable nuisance of himself at one of my meetings. As, however, he adopts the somewhat questionable practic of selecting those portions of the report in the local Press (itself incom- plete) which suit his purpose, I do not think his observations merit more than a statement that his inferences and the conclusions he seeks to draw from them are completely valueless.—Yours, &c.,
