JEERS FOR WALES.
The Prince Apparently Unmoved by the
Marks of Unpopularity.


The return TO Buckingham palace Of the
kaiser, the Prince o: Wales and the nobility
after the Guild Hall ceremony in London ycs-
terday was by way of the Thames euibanlrnent.
Along that really admirable thoroughfare Dor
dering on Old Father Thames as the river IL
affectionately termed, the scenes of the morn
ing or earlier progress we're repeated. on the
way TO the Thames embanl ment, at Ludgats
Circus, where the rougher element Of the city
was packed in all the numerous thoroughfsres
branching into that much lrequen;ed center.
there we're somewhat exciting incidents. This
rowdy element had been getting up steam on
beer and gin for many hours and had worked
itseli INTO frame Of mind well adapted to xiv
ing the FRINGE Of Wales or ANYBODY else a de-
serNedly warm reception. While waitinl, for
the heir apparent there were a number OF lively
and decidedly interesting free nights and scriun-
images between these London hoodiuIns aGd the
police, IN which the latter generally managed
TO come out ahead. and which ended an ore or
more rurlans being relegated TO the rear and
thence escorted TO the nearest police station
All this had been the tuning up OF the mob,

the carriage had passed the dangerous spot be-

the Prince was in their midst
AS II was, however, in spite Of the presence
OF the Princess of Wales beside him, the prince
was greeted with repeated oatbursts OF jeering
and "booings, which were only slightly set IF
by few faint cheers.
In the face of this hostile demonstration the
Prince OF Wales, apparently unmoved, looked

crowd and made no attempt 10 reply, by salute.

The reception accorded at Ludgate Hill 20
the Prince of Wales Was IN strong contrast 10
the hearty, ringing cheers with which the Duke

Ludgate Circus crowd ms the duke passed over

the main body OF American sig htseers gathered
at the windows OF the big new American"
hotels along the Thames embankment, had
splendid views OF the whole affair an al Its state

less highly gratiiied by what they saw.
Yesterday was to all Intents ard purposes Q
full days holiday in London, ana today viii bs
a second holiday, in view OF the great review
of 20 900 volunteers ami regulars.
There were many arrests made yesterday, az
usual all large gathering of this description,
but the German societies and the French
anarchist element was, apparently. absent or
subdued into a state of passive submissiyeness
by the warnings sent out by the police TO the
effect that any anarchistic or socialistic out
break would be most severely dealt with aud
remembered against the agitators IN the future.
A. many Of the German ana French ..exiles'
have good reason TO be on good terms with the
authorities, 1t is concluded that they wisely de-
termined TO refrain from giving any public ca
hibition of their feelings.
