swung about to toss upon the angry waves.

LONDON, May lS.-The reception of the
Prince of Wales at the Imperial institute
was in every way successful. The duke of
York and the Princess May were cheered
repeatedly by the thousands of guests.
Gladstone was present looking tired and
irritated \ hostile demonstration was
made by some of the ultra-Tories when he
appeared. The demonstration against
Gladstone was comparatively mild at first,
but increased rapidly in volume which
ended in hooting and kissing. Before
Gladstone appeared the $1,000 or 10000 per-
sons at the reception were in the best
temper.
British AristocraCy Was There.
There was a bewildering confusion of
magnificent toilettes which showed the ex-
ceptionally high social standing of the
guests. The duke of Cambridge, the duke
and duchess OF Fife, Prince and Princess
Christian, duke and duchess of Connaught,
duke and duchess of Teck. Lord Salisbury,
groups of ministers and eX-ministers, mein-

army, most of chem accompanied 10y their
families, We're mingled i'll an ineNtricable
tangle. As rain threatening the finest
part OF the display was confined to the gal

the Liberals present could not drown with
their cOuuteI-cheerS.
DisSracefuI Exhibition OF Partisanship.
The opinion almost universally expressed
in London is that the demonstration was
not only disgraCeful exhibition OF par
tisanshIp but also direct insult to the
Prince of Wales, with whom the prime
minister had just dinei at the institute III
company with the visitors from India. 1t
is said that Gladstone acseuted himself
from the exercises in the opening OF the
institute in accordance with the advice OF
friends, who believed that II he appeared
