THE TROUBLES OF THE PRINCE AT
KINGSTON

Our kilograms published yesterday indicated that
the Prince of Wales was getting into trouble at
Kingston, rather that his subjects at that place
were getting into trouble about him. The corre-
spondent of the New York Tribune furnishes the
following account of the difficulties:
KINGSTON, G. W., Sept. Am extraordinary
cement has arisen in this city, in consequence of
the stubborn demonstrations of the Oraugemen to-
day and the refusal of the Prince of Wales and his
suite to yield to their humor. 1t has been under
stood for several days that the Duke of Newcastle
has expressly declared his determination enter
no city in which partisan display should be at
tempted. But, in spite of this admOnitiOn, the
0rangemen erected arches bearing emblems and in
scriptons peculiar to their order, and assembled
this afternoon in great numbers, clad in full robes
and regalia, with the intention of joining in the
procession of escort feeble endeavor of the mu-
nicpal authorities to induce their forbearance en-
tirely failed.
At four o'clock, when the Princes steamer ar
rived, they gathered near the landing-plaSe and
prepared for the march. But the royal party
looked for in vain. After waiting anxousy for
nearly three hours, the Orangemen were compelled
to give way and to withdraw, expressing, however,
at the same time, resolute intention of resuming
their station early tomorrow morning, and forcing
the Prince to recognize them The Duke, on the
other hand, has signihed to the Mayor that If the
offensive decorations are not removed, and the Or
angemen obliged to hold themselves aloOf, at least
to appear without their DadGesy hlngstOn VIII re-
main unvisited.
Secret meetings of the Orangemen this evening
are said to have resulted in unconditional resolu-
tions to adhere to their position. And discussion
by the city Government, in which the chief mem
bers of the royal party were assailed with great
violence, ended with mere appointment of COM
mittee to confer witht rioters.
The responsibility of the difficulty rests wholly
with the Orangemen, who assume to have made
this indecent movement for the purpose of rebuking
the recognition given the Roman Catholics of Que
bee. The Catholics here are passive 1t is not
expected that the Duke of Newcastle will recede,
and the efrontery of the Orangemen continually
increases. Very serious consequences are expected
by many, and especially in case the Prince should
proceed without delay. The bitterness of the bet
ter part of the committee against the Orangemen
is increasing.
The Heralds correspondent says
The real cause of the disturbance was Catholic
resolution requesting the Mayor to stop the Orange
parade The copy which was sent to the Duke of
Newcastle induced his letter. Alderman Macrow
denied that the Duke had ever received the resolu-
tions when he wrote the letter. The Duke OF New
castles letter had reference to Toronto, and was
written thirty-six hours before he received the
resolutions Alderman Wilmot moved to change
the committee of conference so as to have on it all
Catholic members of the Board, with Recorder.
As the Catholics started the disturbance they should
quiet it. He would pledge himself that if this was
DONE the Orangemen would withdraw. Alderman
Highland was opposed to the Orange men, but
was willing to make any sacrifice for the sake of
having a visit from the Prince. Several other
| members said the same thing. Alderman Macrow
refused to do anything of the kind and thought he
spoke for the majority of the Catholics. Alderman
Robertson said there was no harm in the arches,
and he would go under fifty Catholic arches that
all the Protestants agreed with tAe Orangemen
and the Prince need have no fear of boodshed If
the Orangemen did not turn out tomorrow the
Orange women would.
Laughter, and voice from the Catholic side,
''Well, turn out with them"
Finally, Wimots resolution passed, and the
| Council adjourned until eight o'clock tomorrow.
The Mayor refused to give to the press correct
copy of the Dukes letter. He has bashful, hes-
tating disposition, and to his vacillation much of
| the present difficulty is owing. The Councimen
are generally intelligent and respectable, but the
