THE INDIAN OUTRAGE.

ATTEMPT ON EARL JUNTO'S LIFE. BRUTISH PRESS CRITICISM. By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyrigai London, November 15. i The Daily News says: 'Nowhere will public indignation be more genuine over the attempt on the life of the Earl of Minto than in India. The incident could not well have been timed with a more sinister ingenuity. The Council's Act was about to operate, and the Ministry confidentially anticipated in relation to certain political prisoners—more especially in the cases of nine Bengalese deported without trial—that the deportations were the .principal cause of the persistent bitterness whereon the terrorists worked. Lord Morley, Secretary of State for India, 'had abundant evidence that two or three of the deported would strongly oppose the Act with violence and that the most effective blow at terrorism would be to release untried prisoners." The Standard says: "Ahmedabad wasJ the birthplace of Dr. Lalcoca, whom Dhingra fatally wounded at the time he shot Sir Curzon Wyllic dead, and the inhabitants had publicly expressed their horror of Dhingra's crime." The Daily Telegraph says: "Ahmedabad has the reputation of berag a prosperous, contented, loyal city."

The Times states that the bomb struck tilio jeniidar's wrist.
