WALES in CORK.

LONDON, April 16.-Members of the
Government yesterday expressed relief at
the result Of the Prince OF Wales visit to
Cork. They consider that the failure to
organize any alarming demonstration
against the royal visitors indicates the
real weakness of the Nationalist party.
There is general surprise as well as re-
jOicing here at the extent of the loyal
feeling in Ireland, as proved by the COM
paratively 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:
GAS the Prince and Princess stepped
from the train, they were met by deputa-
ton Of officials of the city, who presented
them with an address of welcome to Cork
attesting uudying loyalty to the Queen
and members Of the royal family. The
Prince and party were then escorted by a
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 proiusely decorated,
while across the streets at several
points were stretched triumphal arches.
At one point q rowdy begin throwing
stones at the Princes carriage, out of
mere bravado apparently, as he was out
of striking distance. A detective prompt
ly arrested the man, whereupon a 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
afierward 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
footmap- 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
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
i'm numbers, but no serious
breach of the peace was attempted. This
evening there was large meeting of
in public square. Vindic-
tive speeches were made by leading menu
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
llists during the Princes stay in Ire
land"
