The Prince’s Visit.
JUS'"IMU* AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION | THE PRINCE IN THE ANCIENT CAPITAL. I Received This Day at TI.3U a.m.) DELHI, Feb. 15. The Prince of Wales readied Delhi this afternoon. The route of 2.) miles through the city to the Vice-Regal Lodge was lined with enormous crowds, including great numbers of Indians resident in the city, and from the villages
within a, radius of twenty miles of the capital. The demonstration quite overshadowed the hartal which bad been proclaimed, but the observance of which was noticeable only in the native portion of the city. During the night bills in English and Hindustan were placarded on the walls, requesting in the name of Dr Gandhi the abandonment of thel boycott and urging the Indians to accord the Prince a good reception. This apparently had some effect in relaxing the tension, but the usual intimidation tactics nevertheless held a large portion of the native population away from the route. Those participating accorded the Royal visitor a hearty reception. After the usual elaborate ceremonial proceedings, the Prince shook hands with the Ruling Princes and Chiefs gathered to welcome him. To-morrow the Prince unveils an All India Memorial to the King and Emperor, Edward VTX.
