this way kept them at bay until assist
ance arrived. Tue prisoner was taken

Incidents" the account continues, "werc
really the most serious evidences of
hostility that occurred during the after
noon. There was q good deal of con-
fusion, and the friends and opponents of
the Prince seemed pretty even
i'll numbers, but no serious
| breach of the peace was attempted. This
evening there was large meeting OF
Parnelli,es in y public square. Vindic-
tive speeches were made by leading men,
bers of sae party, but in them could easily
be traced disappointment at the ill-Suc-
Cess of the attempt - create an effective
demonstration against the Prince during

ing was the burning of Il large number of
London newspapers containing adverse
comment upon the actions of the Nation
