INDIA'S TROUBLE.

AMRITSAR, April 23. Important developments are ex- pected as the result of the resigna- tion of Mangal Singh, President of the Central Sikh League from membership of the Shrines' Com- mittee. Up to the present he has been the leader of the Akali agita- tion. Several others have also resigned. The cause is unknown, but there have been differences among the Sikhs regarding the committee which the Punjab Government appointed, under the Presidency of General Birdwood, to advise on the question of fresh shrines legislation. An extremist section of the Akalis propose a boycott of the Government's Com- mittee till the Akali prisoners have been released.-Reuter.
