PRINCE OF WALES.
> o c HEUTEIt’S TELEGRAMS. TOKIO, April 18. \ The Prince of Wales has concluded the formal part of his visit to Japan with a dinner to the Foreign Minister. Following a visit to the Peace Ex- j position and a reception by 30,0001 Tokio students last night, he attended , a magnificent reception at the Imperial Theatre with the Regent, who attended j a public theatrical performance in Ja-| pan for the first time. Seven Imperial i princes and princesses were in the audi- , dice, which is unprecedented. From j this and other happenings, it is certain j the visit of the Prince will leave its i imprint on Japanese court life, as it has I already broken down many heretofore age-long harriers between the imperial family and the people. The Prince leaves on the 19th for Nikko. On returning he will unveil a memorial gate at Yokohama Foreign Cemetery. 1 Thence he goes to other main cities in 1 Japan. He is somewhat fagged by the rapid succession of functions, permit-, ting hardly time to change his clothes or sleep, but lie is evincing a keen interest , in his Lour, and is in good health. TOKIO, April IS. :

PRESS MAGNATE REBUKED. | SYDNEY, April 19. I With reference to Lord Northcliffe’s j cabled article, the Japanese Consul- i General states that it is merely a thinly- , veiled attempt by the enemies of Japan j to minimise the wonderful welcome given to the Prince of Wales. j The Consul added : Our detractors are nt work again and seem to have select- j od a pitr’icularly unfortunate time to | do their work. !
