The general moderation of the president's remarks was reflected in
the subsequent proceedings of the Congress. Resolutions were unanimously adopted tendering loyal homage to the King-Emperor, expressing deep satisfaction with the projected reforms, and emphatically condemning the "recent detestable outrages." Further resolutions condemn- ing the treatment of Indians in South Africa, appealing to the Government to reverse or modify the partition of Bengal, protesting against the increase of military charges, and supporting the Swadeshi movement were also carried; but it is nobed that in the last-mentioned resolution the adoption of a boycott was not advocated. Renter's representative notes that Mr. Tilak's name was received with silence, and states that the dominant note throughout was one of unbroken gratitude to and confidence in Lord Morley.
