The police overpowered them, and appealed to tho ,French (troops to assist in restoring order. Arrangements nro in progress to reduce tho prices.

Tlfe" Prince of Wales has arrived at Wallfihgam, on tlio Qnensland border, and was formally welcomed by the Lieu-tenant-Governor and Mr. Flhelly, Minister of Public Works.

It was probably due to the fact that only officials were present, tho reception by the soldiers and the children's display beinj postponed until the Prince's return next week ,
