In Simla, which is the summer home of the Viceroy of India, there has been more rioting.

A mob tried to seize upon a mosque, but the police and soldiers opened fire on them, and a serious fight ensued.

The mob was finally repulsed, and the leader arrested.

Simla, which is one of the most fashionable of the Indian summer resorts, is built high up among the Himalayan Mountains.

The seat of the government of India is really in Calcutta, but the heat there is so intense during the summer months that the Europeans cannot endure it.

For fully half the year the Viceroy, who is the representative of the Queen, moves up to Simla, with his council and household, and the government is carried on there.

That riots should have occurred at the seat of government makes the Europeans still more uneasy.

Nor are these the only disturbances we have to record.

In a recent number we told you about the attack on one of the government officials in the Fochi Valley.
