INDIAN UNREST.

EVE OF THE ELECTIONS. AN UNPROPITIOUS OUTLOOK. . Received 9 a.m. f V': " DELHI, Nov. 11. India is on the eve of the elections to inaugurate new reforms, but it cannot be said that the outlook is propitious, as Gandhi and Ali brothers are intensifying their propaganda for non-co-operation. The student element is excited, and' anything but a calm atmosphere prevails. The non-co-oper-ation agitation has spread extensively, except in Bengal, where moderate opinion prevails. In Bombay the outlook is black, and varied labour troubles there are assuming a political complexion. Extremists will easily sweep the board in that district, while Northern India, 'including the Punjab, is the chosen battle ground of Gandhi and the Ali brothers. This attempt to trick reforms by extremists is unlikely to succeed, FuT! many prominent Indians are deliberately abstaining from political life, and thus weakening the position of the moderates.
