WALES IN CORK.

aTerribIe Rfot-Ouelled by the Police
Regrets From the Mayor of Limerick.
LONDON, April 16.-Members of the
Government yesterday expressed relief al
the result of the Prince of Wales visit to
Cork. They consider that the failure te
organize any alarming demonstration
against the royal visitors indicates the
real weakness of the Nationalist party,
There is general surprise as we'll as re.
joicing here at the extent of the loyal
feeling in Ireland, as proved by the com
paratiyely warm welcome extended to
the Prince in the very stronghold of the
opposition. The following is an official
account received here of what occurred
during the passage of their Royal High
nesses through the streets of Cork:
''As the Prince and Princess stepped
from the train, they were met by a deputa-
ton of officials OF the city, who presented
them with an address of welcome to Cork
attesting undying loyalty to the Queen
and members of the royal family. The
Prince and party were then escorted by d
strong force of military and police to
carriages in waiting, and driven through
the principal streets. All along the
route they were enthusiastically cheered.
Many buildings were profusely decorated,
while across the streets at several
points were stretched triumphal arches.
At one point rowdy began throwing
stones at the Princes carriage, out of
mere bravado apparently, as he was out
of striking distance. A detective prompt
1y arrested the man, whereupon MOB
surrounded the officer and tried to
rescue the prisoner. The detective
found it necessary to fire his revolver
over the heads of the crowd, and in
this way kept them at bay until assist
ance arrived. The prisoner was taken
to court and remanded, but was
afterward bailed out by the Mayor of the
city. At another point an onion was
thrown down at the Royal carriage as it
passed under the structure known as
Parnell Bridge. The missile struck the
footman- Indignant yells burst from the
people when this insult was witnessed,
and efforts were made to discover the
person who committed it, but he could
not be traced in the crowd. These two
Incidents" the account continues, "were
really the most serious evidences of
hostility that occurred during the after
noon. There was good deal of con-
fusion, and the friends and opponents of
the Prince seemed pretty even
in numbers, but no serious
breach of the peace was attempted. This
evening there was large meeting of
Parnellites in public square. Vindic-
tive speeches were made by leading men,
bers of the party, but in them could easily
be traced disappointment at the ill-suc-
cess of the attempt to create an effective
demonstration against the Prince during
the day. A singular feature of the meet
ing was the burning of large number of
London newspapers containing adverse
comment upon the actions of the Nation
alists during the Princes stay in Ire
land"
WINNING FRIENDS IN CORK.
CORK, April 16.-The gracious demean-
or of the Princess of Wales excited great
admiration among the crowds that lined
the streets through which the royal car
rage passed. Cheers for the Prince and
Princess went up constantly. The Prince
maintained dignified though concilia-
tory bearing. A procession of Leaguers
followed as closely behind the visit
ors as the police lines permitted.
1t was headed by John O'Con-
nor, Nationalist member of
Parliament for Tipperary, who has been
one of the most conspicuous leaders of
the opposition to the Princes favor
able reception in Ireland. Whenever
the loyalist bands started up "God save
the Queen" the Leaguers noisily sang,
s'God save Ireland" When the procession
reached it's destination and the munich
pal authorities presented an address
of welcome on behalf of the city of
Cork, the Prince betrayed some emotion.
In replying to the address, he
expressed his gratitude for it's express
sions of loyalty to the British ConStitu-
ton and to the Queen. He wished that
every person of influence in Ireland would
exert himself to avoid discussions which
would interfere with the object of his
present tour through the country, and to
unite in efforts toward improving the real
welfare Of the Irish race.
A MIDNIGHT RIOT.
CORK, April ia terrible riot is now
in progress. a mob is in possession of
the principal streets, and has repulsed
several charges by the police. Several
volleys have been fired by the police, but
it is supposed that they are firing over
the heads of the crowd. In charging up
OIL the mob, however, fixed bayonets
are used, and many per-
sons have been severely wounded.
The police, where overwhelmed by
numbers, form in small squads, back to
back and defend themselves from the
onsIaughts of the Infatuated mob. Many
of the officers have been seriously injured
by stones. Volleys OF missiles are
thrown from the upper windows of
houses whose occupants are in sympathy
with the rioters. 1t is reported that, ow-
ing to the apathy of the Mayor, leading
citizens have telegraphed to Lord Spen-
Ger requesting that the military be used
to restore order.
