BREAKS OUT AFRESH THE GAEKWAR INCIDENT. (Received Last Night, 5.5 o'clock.) LONDON, January 6. Mr Keir Hardie, M.P., writing to the newspaper "Welsh Pioneer," says, that many of the Gaekwar ot Baroda's fellow-rulers have been taught to grovel before the Throne, as becomes all who approach such a symbol of imbecility. The Gaekwar, with his .-cierican traditions, kept erect, a:>:i turned;his back on the King. He remembered that a ma'i's eyes are in front, and he was rot. skilled in the art of walking like a crab. It was, Mr Hardie adds, d;i!i cult to see what else could be done Historians would depict the Gaekwar r»s the ore significant figure in thv Durbar, and not .the King and E.»iperor going through his little purt like a well-painted automaton. T'.e Gaekwar calmly did all that was required of him as a gentleman, but always reirembering his country was in the dust, refused to kiss the foot of the oppressor.
