§ Mr. BENNI have been in communication with the Government of India for whose consideration these matters are in the first instance. I have not as yet heard that any arrangement has been made regarding the young Maharaja's education, but I hope that satisfactory arrangements may shortly be agreed40W upon. I cannot say more in reply to the third part of the question than that the matter will receive consideration.
