(Times of India, April 26.)

The Gaekwar of Baroda has been deposed, and was conveyed by special train through Bombay to Madras on Friday. He is to be allowed to select a place of residence in India, and will be granted a pension from the revenues of the Baroda State. The widow of the late Gaekwar Khunderao is to adopt some member of the Gaekwar house selected by the Government of India. The following is the text of the vice regal proclamation announcing the deposi tion of the Gaekwar, issued at Simla on April 23rd;— “To all whom it may concern: His High ness Mulharao Gaekwar was suspended from the exercise of power, and the administration of the Baroda State was temporarily assumed by the British Government in order that a public inquiry might be made into the truth of the imputation that his Highness had instigated an attempt to poison Colonel R. Phayre, C. 8., the late representative of the British Government at the Court of Baroda, and that every opportunity should be given to his Highness of freeing himself from the said imputation. The proceedings of the Com mission having been brought to a close, her Majesty’s Government have taken into con sideration the question whether His Highness Mulharao Gaekwar shall be restored to the exercise of sovereign power in the state of Baroda. The commissioners being divided in opinion, Her Majesty’s Government have not based their decision on the inquiry or report of the commission, nor have they as sumed that the result of the inquiry has been to prove the truth of the imputations against His Highness.
