PRINCE OF WALES
VISIT TO INDIA CANCELLED
'Reuter’s Telegram.)
(Received this day at 8 a.hi.) LONDON, August .17. A Royal Proclamation announces that His Majesty’s hope to send the Prince of Wales to India next winter, cannot unhappily be realised, because the unceasing devoted labours of the Prince of Wales in other parts of the Empire has laid so heavy a burden on his strength that it is impossible for him at present to undertake anoher protracted, arduous journey wihout assuredly endangering his health. The visit consequently must be postponed, but if he recovered it is hoped the Prince of Wales will visit India in the winter of the next year. Meanwhile in order to mark, in *a special manner, the momentous step India is now taking towards greater constitutional freedom, hip Majesty is sending the Duke of Connaught to inaugurate the reformed India legislature and partake of other ceremonies that v the Prince of Wales would have performed.
