New YORK, July 5.-A London letter
of June % says rs the time draws on for
the departure of the Prince Of Wales for
India, the difficulties of the journey are
more clearly appreciated. Ithas not yet
been settled whether the Prince is to SUI
percede the Viccroy, or to accompany
him rs n guest. The old Indians ore
very much divided on the question
somo asserting TINT it will have n bad
effect on the mind of the natives if the
Queens son phys second fiddle to the
Queens deputy, while others argue TINT
1t IS of moro importance that the Vice
roy's dignity should be maintained Mt
the highest point, ns, after all, he is the
permanentreprescnta Of Great Britain
In India. The Princes costume is another
problem. A prince in calico shooting
jacket would, it is thought, not be suffi-
ciently impressive; and though the red
coat and cooked hnt of an English field
marshal ls no doubt imposing enough, it
is very fntiguing to the wcarer in hot
country. 1t was Mt one time contemplated
that the Princess would accompany her
husband, but this idea hns been abnn-
doncd, partly on account of the Difficult
ties In regard to etiquette, and partly on
economical grounds. The Government
ls still scheming how to get money for
the expenses of the trip out of India.
For some months past tho Prince has
been suffering from scintica, and it is to
be hoped that the Eastern climate will
do him good.
