THE PRINCE IN INDIA.
A VISIT TO BENARES. BOYCOTT BY THE NATIVES. By Telegraph.—Press Assn —Copyright. Received D ec. 14, 5.5 p.m. Delhi, Dec. 13. Although a boycott was proclaimed at Benares on the occasion of the Prince’s visit, rfo attempt was made by agitators in any way to interfere with the programme. The chief function was the opening of a new Hindu university building. A number of students wearing Ghandist caps participated, but listened decorously. Otherwise very few Indians were present, and large blocks of seats reserved for the public were almost empty. All the shops in the city were closed. The Prince, who was the guest of the Maharajah of Benares, attended a State luncheon, visited places of interest round the city, and inspected troops. He then left for Nepaul for a week’s shooting among tiger and rhinoceros.
