LESSON OF AMERICA,

LONDON, June II.

The Rt. Hon. Mr. V. S. Sastri, Mrs. Anne Besant, Mr. Rangachariar, and other Indian leaders are at present in London presenting a memorandum to the India Office demanding the establishment of Dominion home rule and urging the despatch of a commission to India in the autumn with wide terms of reference in order that the story of the American colonies and Ireland may not be repeated and the constitutional party destroyed.

The Viceroy should conduct the. for announcement immediately the new President government with a Cabinet responible to the is elected. He is planning to adjourn, the Chambers Indian Legislature, but should provisionally re- after the briefest debate,

This will enable him to get into contact with Allied governments. M. Herriot is hoping to go to London to see Mr. Ramsay MacDonald at the beginning of next week.

[Earlier cables stated that the moderate newspapers unanimously regret the departure of M. Millerand. Some of them consider yesterday's proceedings a dangerous precedent, The Echo de Paris declares that M. Herriot and bis friends bave struck the first blow against constitutional 'laws, and with the assistance of revolutionaries have opened the way for the greatest unreasonable. ness on the part of the extremists and the worst capitulations by the radical party. Figaro says the "Leftists have accomplished the revision of the con stitution contrary wise, The Leftist organs are rejoicing in the downfall of M. Millerand whom Humanite describes as "one of the worst enemies of proletariat."]

MISSIONARY KILLED.

OTHER FOREIGNERS SAFE.

HANKOW, JUNE II.

A message from Hengchow. gives Kweilin "reports that the American missionary Mr. J. R. Cunningham has been killed. The other foreigners are safe.

(A party of missionaries, Messrs. Jaffray and Carne (British)-and-Rex--Pay-and-Doctor Miller (American) travelling from Wuchow to Pinglo aboard the American hospital ship "Soanoke" were captured by bandits at Taiwan, ten miles from Pinglo. The whole party was carried off to the hills. This is the party mentioned as proceeding to Kwellin with the object of succouring the missionaries that were beleaguered in the city, reports having reached Wuchow that two mis sionaries had been killed in Kweilin. The American Vice-Consul, Mr. Chamberlain, has been sent to Wuchow from Canton to try to effect the release of the captured missionaries and to see what can be done to help them at Kwellin. The l British and American Legations have drawn the attention of the Chinese Government to this latest outrage, requesting that immediate stops be taken towards the release of the missionaries.]
