PROMINENT UNIONISTS KIDNAPPED.
RAIDERY FIGHT WITH POLICE.
UNIONIST REPRISALS FEARED.
LONDON, February, 8 Simultaneous raids over a 13-mile area in the early morning resulted in the kidnapping at their residences, sometimes alter resistance, of a number of prominent Vaionists in Tyrone and Fermanagh all of whom were carried over the borders of Ulster.
The Prince of Wales made a state entry into Gwalior city on Wednesday morning. riding in an elephant procession reminiscent of the barbaric grandeur of the Moghul days. He was met at the atation on arrival by the Mobaraja of Sciudia, his little daughter Mary and tiny son George. The Prince, after formal Specials in motors pursued the raiders. There was greeting, mounted a century old elephant called Hiragaz, brisk fighting at a number of points. Que party of who is nearly eleven feet up to the sboulder and is said police was ambushed.

The grand old fort looking over this pleasure domain was wonderfully decorated for the occasion. Ip the evening the Prince attended a state banquet, the Maharaja of Scindia proposing the health of the Prince who replied in a speech eulogising the splendid loyalty of Gwalior in the past and reviewing its great services during the war.

SENATE REPORT SEVERE.
REOPENING NOT FAVOURED.
BONER INDEMNITY NOT SUFFICIENT.
LONDON, February
A special message to the Times from Paris stat s that the report of M. Jeanneney with regard to the Banque Industrielle de Chine read before the Senate Finance Commission is described as very severe and searching. It seems that the Senate is not as favourably disposed as the Chamber of Deputies to the reflotation of the bank and may be disposed merely to sanction government reimbursement of the depositors from the Boxer indemnity.
According to the Matin a number of members of the commission expressed the opinion that the Govern- ment should refuse to have anything to do with a business which property should remain in the hands of Justice. It is considered that the Boxer indemnity will not be sufficient to repay all the depositors since it does not exceed £7,000,000 while the liabilities are estimated at nearly £14,000,000.
It therefore the Senate after bearing M. Poincare
in favour of a return to the gold basis as constituting insists on modification of the project order of priority the nexus between the price levels in the various for reimbursement must be established.
