There is a revolt In New York on the
tain class of daily newspapers which
has sprung UP within the past few years
and Is known al yellow journalism.
Papers Of that character have attained
an enormous circulation and seem 10

as prlzenght. The same comment may
be made upon both Institutions. They
are demoralizing: they are yiolatiye Of

WALES 70 VISIT AMERICA.
HEIR APPARENT WILL SURELY
COME NEXT SUMNER.
He VIII Make the Trip On . War
ship, and II the Queens Health
In Good. He WIN Extend His
Trip Materially. Taking In Races.

CHICAGO, Dec "A London cable TO
the Tribune says: The Prince Of Wales has
absolutely decided 10 visit America next
summer. There IS but one doubtful condi-
tion-the health OF Queen Victoria Her
majesty is likely 10 live and preserve fair
degree OF health for some time 20 come. so
the princes visit may be regarded as a ccr-
tainty.
Diplomatic and ee5s.aercial interests have
been strongly urging the prince lately 10
visit the United States. The cordial rela-
tons now established between England and
America offer a most advantageous and
popular opportunity for the royal tour. Ac-
cording to present plans the prince will go
first to Canada about midsummer He ad-
mires Sir Wilfrid Laurier. and as far back
jubilee time half promised 10 visit the
Canadian pern,ier. 1t is proba Bile that the
voyage across the Atlantic will be made in
a warship with a suitable accompanying
escort.
From Canada the prince will go to the
United States. What cities he may visit
will depend on events. At present he
knews only that he will go to New York
in time for the international yacht races
the first week In October. Sir Thomas j.
Upton has been strongly urging the prince
70 attend the races and sail on the sham
rock, and half promise has been given
that his royal highness will do SO.
Sir Francis knollys. the princes secre-
tary, has said to many inquirers II the
royal engagements already booked for next
summer will permit the American tour
may be undertaken. The real condition
however, is the queens health. If her
majesty retains her present strength and
no serious political contentious intervene
New York may count on seeing the prince
at the yacht races.
