It was demonstrated ‘ at the butset that the popular branch of Lhe league was meeting entir~ly free frons } a pre-arranged pregramme. The assem- bly was called to order and heard the { opening address of Dr. Wellington Koo, of China, without having any idea as Lo who might be selected permanent President. Half a dozen candidates had been vaguely mentioned in the past few days, but the real canvass of possibili ties began only yesterday, with the arrival of the important delegation. The only business transacted in the morning was the election of a committee on cre- dentials and it was not until the luncheon recess that the delegates could exchange notes as to their choice of a presiding officer. South Americua came forward with Dr. Gaston da Cunha, of Brazil, and De Juan Carlos Tilanco, Uruguayan Minister at Paris, while there was a very important movement in favor of Dr. Van Karnebeek, Dutch Minister of Foreign Affairs, who was eventually elected to the Presidency.

Simla. Sept. sth.—Lord Reading, du- ring the course of a speech at a joint sitting of the Council of State and the Legislative assembly on Saturday iast. said it would be wrong to assume that the rising of Moplahs in the Malabar dis- trict;was symptomatic of the whole of India, as that district has always been a4 storm centre. Keferring to the pro- clamation of martial law in the Malabar area, the Viceroy declared the British authorities have fa'led in their duty if they hadsnot taken that step and sup- voried the local Govt to the utmost in quelling the rising and protecting inno- cent citizens. It was obvicus that the outbreak which assumed the character ofa :rebellion, had been carefully pre- pared, Lord Reading asserted, and that no effort had been spared 0 rouse the passions and fury of the Moplahs.
