CALCUTTA, December 8. The little town of Bardoli. in theGujarat district of the Bombay Presidency, which was i'ormerljy a hotbed of civil disobedience, gave the Governor and Lady Sykes an enthusiastic welcome when they toured the place yesterday. Two years ago no Governor dare enter the town without a strong military police force, but now the inhabitants have disassociated themselves with the-Indian Congress, and are intensely loyalr They frankly admii they have seen the error of their ways. Sir J. Sykes even visited the former local headquarters of the Congress, once a hot-bed of sedition, and intrigue. He held a picturesque “durbar” for leading townsmen, where he announced substantial remissions of land 1 ' revenue as a reward for the people’s loyalty.
