wonderfully striking a picture than that presented by the political chan ges in the map of india announced by the king-emperor at the coro nation durbar at delhi on this de cember 12th during the

the secretary of state for india has well said of this many of the circumstances which explain the selection of fort will iam in the eighteenth century as the head-quarters of the east india company cannot now be adduced as arguments for the permanent re tention of calcutta as the capital of british india one great trait in our anglo saxon race is that we are not ashamed or afraid to acknowledge
