Says the ''Home and Colonial Mail'' (late ''Colonial Empire and Star of India'') respecting Colonel Olcott, the Theosophosist:—“A paragraph recently appeared in the “Echoes from Abroad” column of the ''Colonial Empire and Star of India'', reflecting upon the character of this American gentleman, who is at present in India, and it was copied into the {{Style S-Small capitals|Times of India}} and other Indian papers. We are anxious to assure Colonel Olcott that the substance of the paragraph in question was taken from the columns of an American paper, and inserted inadvertently. From the letter which Colonel Olcott has addressed to the {{Style S-Small capitals|Times of India}}, and from the assurances we have received from a gentleman of high position in London, we do not hesitate in expressing our belief that the statements made in the objectionable paragraph are entirely without foundation. We, therefore, take the earliest opportunity of assuring Colonel Olcott and those to whom it refers that we much regret its insertion.” | Says the ''Home and Colonial Mail'' (late ''Colonial Empire and Star of India'') respecting Colonel Olcott, the Theosophosist:—“A paragraph recently appeared in the “Echoes from Abroad” column of the ''Colonial Empire and Star of India'', reflecting upon the character of this American gentleman, who is at present in India, and it was copied into the {{Style S-Small capitals|Times of India}} and other Indian papers.

{{Style S-Small capitals|Sir}},—Madam Blavatsky sends a communication to the ''Hindu Prakash'' written in peculiar English in which she complains, “that with an hospitality and consistency worthy of a better cause she has been hailed by every class of Society as a secret emissary of the Russian Government, “A spy” to call things by their proper names.” It is not often that spies fall into such good hands, we hardly think that a suspected spy in Russia would be treated with any lavish hospitality, except in such a manner as a cat sometimes plays with a mouse. The lady has our sympathies. She suffers for her country. She suffers in consequence of that evil reputation which the Court of St. Petersburg has acquired of extending its power and influence in all directions by means concealed to ordinary observation. As to Prince Ramchundra Ballajee, he is doubtless some Bengallee Babu on his travels who is playing off some practical jokes by passing himself off on the unsophisticated Russians as a Raja. The aspirations of the ''genus'' Babu are not soon satisfied but possibly having succeeded for some time in playing the role of an Indian Prince at an European Court might have reached the limit of his ambition. | {{Style S-Small capitals|Sir}},—Madam Blavatsky sends a communication to the ''Hindu Prakash'' written in peculiar English in which she complains, “that with an hospitality and consistency worthy of a better cause she has been hailed by every class of Society as a secret emissary of the Russian Government, “A spy” to call things by their proper names.” It is not often that spies fall into such good hands, we hardly think that a suspected spy in Russia would be treated with any lavish hospitality, except in such a manner as a cat sometimes plays with a mouse.

<small>Though the Bombay police are no less distinguished for gullibility than for high handedness, we find it difficult to believe that their action in the matter was prompted by the suspicion that Madame Blavatsky was a Russian spy. Possibly they may have thought that, with dacoity and incendiarism raging in the Dekkan, <u>the dissemination of</u> <u>socialist principles</u>, under such illustrious auspices as those of an American Colonel with credentials from his Government, and a Russian Countess, <u>was peculiarly inopportune</u>.</small> | <small>Though the Bombay police are no less distinguished for gullibility than for high handedness, we find it difficult to believe that their action in the matter was prompted by the suspicion that Madame Blavatsky was a Russian spy.

Seeing that last week we had to remark on an instance of “gullibility” displayed by the Bombay detectives at Poona or the credulity of their backers, we are not quite free to object to the epithets hurled at the Bombay police by our Calcutta contemporary. But we dare say the Force is able to take care of itself, though Sir Frank Souter is at the Neilgherries. | Seeing that last week we had to remark on an instance of “gullibility” displayed by the Bombay detectives at Poona or the credulity of their backers, we are not quite free to object to the epithets hurled at the Bombay police by our Calcutta contemporary. But we dare say the Force is able to take care of itself, though Sir Frank Souter is at the Neilgherries. Our remarks on the ''Englishman’s'' shot is that it has not hit the bull’s eye this time. We are not aware that either the gallant Major or the distinguished Countess received the remotest attention from the Police whilst in this City of the free. We have always understood it was during their tour in Hindustan and upper India that their steps were dogged by police spies—but these were not Bombay police. In referring to this topic three weeks ago, we pointed, incidentally, to the Intelligence Department of the Foreign Office being responsible for this exceedingly silly proceeding regarding the knot of harmless enthusiasts of whom Major Olcott is chief. And we spoke of it as in accordance with “the usual puerile and suspicious notions prevalent amongst Bengal officials.” So let the ''Englishman'' mend its instance, and then we can endorse all it says in the article from which we have quoted. Certainly we are glad to take occasion to second what our contemporary says in condemning the demoralising practice of tampering with epistolary correspondence. If Mr. Monteith’s department has stooped to this pernicious device in connection with Major Olcott’s party, we trust that the American Consul-General will insist on having the whole of these miserable tricks exposed. That postal espionage was largely practised in connection with news-letters from Afghanistan is too well known; but it is high time we knew who or what department is responsible for that pestilent impertinence. We trust the ''Englishman'' will follow up the trace. | ||
