ROYAL TOUR.
THE PRINCE IN JAPAN. AMAZING WELCOME. BUSINESS SUSPENDED. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Tokio, April 13. The Prince of Wales, traversing two miles of streets closely lined with many thousands o-f school children cheering and singing, visited the Imperial University and had an enthusiastic reception from 5000 students. He attended a number of brilliant official functions in the city. The warships were sumptuously illuminated at night. A special representative, referring to the amazing sincerity of the reception, says that Tokio never within living memory has opened her arms or heart to a like degree to a national hero or an august visitor. Even tradition, so sacred in Japan, has broken down under the tremendous impulse and the crowds who took up the refrain of “God Save the King” were shattering immemorial custom. Tokio, which is half buried beneath bunting and paper lanterns, is closed, finding “business as usual” impossible during the Prince’s stay, and so all roads leading to Akaska Palace are teeming with patient, smiling crowds, prepared to stand hours to catch a glance of the Prince of Wales.
