GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

The Prince of Wales's Popularity Fails to
Save Him from a Sharp Thrust.
T. c. Crawford. New York World.
The Prince of Wales is popular that the
newspapers rarely criticise him. The most rad
ical and extreme of the Liberal papers have left
the Prince of Wales alone But 1 have seen a
number of hits at him within the last few days
owing to his meeting John l.. Sullivan. The
laws here very rigid against prize a gin is.
VIII lie at the same time there is no country in
the world where the general public is SO fond of
prize fighters and boxing matches here.
Because the Prince of Wales went to
a sporting club to witness q boxing match
between Sullivan and some OF the other
lights of the fstic arena tie Radical papers have
turned upon him with the first personal criticism
have seen this year. The Pail Mall Gazette
yesterday printed two cartoons without any
comment The heading was 1.-THE Two Sulli-
vans" One represented the gentlemanly Lord
Mayor Of Dublin standing between two police
men in prison. The other was the Boston
prize-fghter drawn to represent the low
est type of the Bill Sykes character, shaking
hands with the Prince of Wales. The Prince of
Wales has begun to appear in London. although
he spends greater part of his time at Sandring
ham and in visiting But he is at OF
the theaters In London during the wesk and has
begun already his work of presiding at public
ceremonals.
