The deliberations of the Salar Jung Debt Commission have come to a closs at last. The object of its existence has been accomplished; Mr. Gya Persad, M. A., at one time our Deputy Accountant-General has been sent out of service. And the Commission breathes its last in triumph.

I am told that the Departmental inquiry into the famous second Treasury Fraud case will terminate soon; and that it is not likely that the result of it will be any more favourable to the Nawab Imad Nawaz Jung and Raja Srinivasa Rao than the report of the Commission above alluded to bas been to Mr. Gya Persad. There is an impression abroad that the men in power are anxious to do away with as many as possible of those inimical in any way to their interests in the service, before the present Resident leaves, as they are afraid that Mr. Plowden may not be as non-interfering as Sir Dennis Fitzpatrick. I shall not stop to ask what reason there is for this. Sie Dennis goes away in October; and we shall not have to wait long to know the reasonableness or otherwise of the impression.

Two of the local papers have followed the "Deccan Times" into oblivion—the "Saferi Deccan " published within the Residency limits and the Mahboob-ul-kaloof in the Moglai jurisdiction. It is remarkable that in spite of his warm advocacy of our Home Secretary's gagging circular, Kaloof's career on earth has closed in about ten mouths.
