| The Prince OF Wales 1t Is now generally be-
lieved. will meet with cold reception on his
visit to Dublin next month. Many fear that he
will be insulted during his progress through
the country. The retreat made by Lord Mayor
John O'Connor from his first attitude of appa-
rent opposition to the visit has embittered tho
great majority OF the National I.eaguers. among
whom he had been recognized rs a strong and
bold leader previous to this episode. The
Lord Mayor. however. firmly maintains his
present position that he owes at least official
, courtesy to the royal visitor during his stay in
the Irish capital. No fault finding and no
threats on the part OF his former political col
leagues seem to have any effect on his present
determination to welcome the Prince. All this
, tends to make the Nationaksts more deter
, mined in their declared purpose to Offset the
Lord Mayors obseQuiousness. as 1t 10 called
by conduct which shall plainly convey to the
, Prince the knowledge that his presence in Ire
land is not desired by them for any purpose

such a demonstration as will teach England
