The Prince and Princess OF WaIes, VINO
have been making tour of Ireland, arrived
In the city of Cork on the 18th inst. What
followed is thus described in the cable dis
patches from that city: The sun WAS shin
ing brightly and the weather was all Mat
could be desired for such an occa-
sion. The railway station and the streets
in its vicinity were crowded with peo-
pie awaiting the arrival Of the royal party
When the train drew into the station II
was greeted with hearty cheers. Every
thing within the power of loyalists to do
was done to make the reception of the royal
visitors success. and the managers of the
demonstration remained up most of the
past night to make sure of their arrange
ments. When the Prince and Princess
emerged from the railway station after their
arrival in the city they were greeted with
cheer after cheer. During their progress
in the parade, workmen and boys ran along
side their carriage and kept up their cheering
10 drown the kissing Of the nationalists. who
lined the entire route and made continued
hostile demonstrations. The conduct of
the leaeuers aroused the loyalists to high
pitch of enthusiasm, and they made the
streets echo with shouts of welcome. The
wonder is there was no violent breach OF
the peace during the royal progress, for it
proceeded amid continual warfare of
words and taunts between the loyalists and
the nationalists, whose numbers were about
equally divided. nationalist threw an
onion ut the royal carnage. The
vegetable struck one of the foot
men with considerable force, and many
stones were thrown by roughs at the
people who followed and cheered the royal
carriage. and the police several times fred
at the roughs. j. O'Connor, Nationalist,
- <~G Del Co..
marched at the head of a procession of
Leaguers, who closely followed the royal
procession and sang God Save Irelandp
every time the Loyalists or their bands
started up God Save the Queen, or God
Save the Prince of Wales"
The Prince of Wales displayed some
feeling when he replied TO the address Of
welcome presented by the Magistrates Of
Cork. He said he was glad to hear the ex-
preston of loyalty to the British Constitu-
ton and to the Queen which the address
contained, and hoped that every person
possessing influence in Ireland would exert
it to avoid dissensions, which would inter-
fere with the object and progress Of his
present tour through the country and unite
to promote the real welfare of the Irish
people.
Immediately after the procession was
over meeting of the Cork National League
was held. The meeting declared that the
loyalist attempt to get mp fictitious demon
stration of welcome in honor Of royalty had
proved failure, and passed a resolution
congratulatng John OConnor, who man
aged the hostile demonstrations. for the
victory he had achieved for the Nationalist
, cause. The latest London newspapers con-
tanning accounts of the royal progress were
burned in bonfire.
After the mass meeting the Nationalist
scattered through the city in parties num-
Der ng from fifty to five hundred men.
Doors and windows were smashed, flags
and decorations were torn down and heaped
upon blazing bonfires, and many gun stores
were broken into for the purpose of arming
the mob. Policemen. when encountered
singy or in small squads, were attacked and
beaten numerically with their own trun-
cheons. In many cases the police rallied
they we're invariably surrounded and re-
pulsed. The police then resorted to free use
of their revolvers and bayonets. 1t
was hand-to- hand fighting of the
most desperate sort, the police stand
ing back and receiving and infficting
terrible injuries. At midnight the
streets were practically in possession Of
the mob. The policemen who remained
uninjured could not attempt TO do more
than maintain their positions and fight on
the defensive In addition to attacks from
the crowds in the streets, the police were
exposed to murderous volleys of stones
from windows, housetops. and other points
of vantage. The hospitals are full Of in
jured policemen and rioters.
