THE PRINCE OF WALES.

There is again Prince of Wales. So few of
the present generation can remember when
there was none before the fnterregnum which
was Jast week ended that it has seemed strange
for the title TO he in allegiance, though for only
few months, and it seems natural and familiar
for II to be restored TO the current nomenclature
Of British social and public life. The idea that
the Duke Of Cornwall would not thus be hon
ored until the time of the Kings corona ton
proves to have been incorrect. The King. with
that felicity of tact for which he has long been
noted, chose an earlier and more appropriate
date For at the coronation the King will be
the central figure. dominating the entire scene,
and such honor paid TO the Duke then would
pass almost unnotced, while at the present
time his homecoming from his intra imperial
journeyings the heir apparent holds the centre
Of the stage. and his elevation to the principal
fly receives its full need Of popular attention.
In thus honoring his son the King follows an
excellent though by no means unbroken prece-
dent There has not always been a Prince Of
Wales since the creation of that title, and not
every heir apparent has held that rank. The
familiar story of Edward I and his juggling
promise to the Welsh probably contains more
fiction than fact. But even II the i'll fated
Edward II, 'of Carnarvon," be considered to
have been the first Prince Of Wales. IL does not
appear ,tlat the tltie was ever transferred TO or
borne by his son. Edward III. The latter's son.
the illustrious BLACK Prince" was, however
proclaimed Prince Of Wales the first Of the line
whose title is indsputable. That Prince died
before coming to the throne, whereupon his
father passed the title on to the young son of
the late Prince, who became Richard II and
met with fate similar to that of Edward H.
The next King Henry ", made his son Prince
of Wales but the latter succeeding as Henry
did not follow the example, and the unhappy
Henry VI never held that title He bestowed
ii, however. upon his son, who perished at
Tewkesbury without ever coming to the throne
Edward " made his Ill fated son, Edward V,
Prince OF Wales, and the next bearer Of the
title was Arthur. son Of Henry VII, who also
died before ascending the throne On the death
Of Arthur, Henry VII passed the title on TO his
second son, who became Henry VIII. But he
did not make his son, Edward VI. Prince of
Wales and the title was held in allegiance for
many years, until it was revived for Henry, son
of James /. This Prince died before reaching
the throne. and the title passed on to his
brother. who became Charles L. That monarch
revived until George / bestowed it upon his
son. George II. The latter gave it in turn to
his son. Frederick-"Fred. who was alive and is
dead"-and on that Princes death to his-Fred-
erick ks-son. George III. who in turn gave IT TO
his son. George ", after whose accession to
the throne the title was again dormant until
Victoria revived IL, in December. 1S41, for her
infant son. who has now given 1t TO his son,
the present heir apparent.

CARLES TO THE FAR EAST.

The action of the Chamber Of Commerce or
this State Thursday. urging the construction
of a telegraphic cable line to the Philippines
and TO the coast Of Asia, is to be welcomed as
force making in the right direction. There
are certain points involved in such an enterprise
which require careful and judicious considera-
ton This they are receiving at Washing
ton 1t is TO be hoped and, we believe expected
that soon the way will be made clear and open
for laying cable across the Pacific Ocean
which. wherever it touches land, from Califor-
MIA 10 the Philippines. will be under the Stars
and Stripes.
The way cannot be opened and the work can
not be done too soon Hurry it as we may, we
shall not be the first in the race We have al
ready waited too long for that. The all-British
cable scheme is far advanced, and Few
months more will doubtless see it completed
and London put into instant communication
with Hong Kong by way of Vancouver, all the
vay under the British flag Our line. when
constructed, will therefore have an older direct
rival to compete with. besides fewer than
three others in the opposite direction. There
have for some time been two telegraph routes
from Europe TO Eastern Asia, one by the way
of the cable lines under the Mediterranean and
Red seas and the Indian Ocean. and the other
overland by way of the Russian Siberian lines.
third has just been completed. 1t runs from
England down the Atlantic Ocean to the Cape
of Good Hope and thence across the Indian
Ocean to Australia and New-Zealand. This last
is practically an all-British line, that when
the British Pacific cable laid there will be
British telegraphic girdle around the earth.
Such rivalry should not, however, for an in
slant stand in the way Of the speedy laying of
an all-American cable across the Pacific Ocean.
Such cable is needed for possible military
purposes 1t is needed for actual political pur-
poses and most assuredly for the promotion Of
American commerce in that very part Of the
world in which the greatest future development
OF commerce is TO occur. Moreover, it VIII pay
IN dollars and cents. The new cable from Eng
land to Australia by way Of the Cape Of Good
Hope has involved the laying Of more than
fifteen thousand miles of cable at n cost of more
than S15.000,0O0. It has been laid without
penny of government aid, and It is going to
transmit messages from England to Australia
for 75 cents a word at the outset with 80 per
cent reduction a year or two hence; and IT is
expected that it will pay good dividends. What
England can do on such route, the United
States should certainly be able 10 do on the
route from the Golden Gate to Manila Bay.

KRUEGER ON ARBITRATION.

In his latest appeal for arbitration between
the British Government and the Beers, MIR.
Kriiger has made the strongest possible arSu-
ment against it. 1t is not novel argument,
for it is merely a restatement of what has been
perfectly we'll known to all well informed OBJ
servers from the outset of the troubles in South
Africa. But such repetition, from so high an
authority as Mr.. Kriiger, is to be welcomed as
conclusive. In the interview quoted by our
London correspondent, Mr.. Kriger's talk was
all of arbitration, which he declared to be the
only satisfactory way of ending the war. But
supposing arbitration were reSOrted to. and the
decision of the court We're against the Beers
Then" declared the sturdy old Noortrekker,
I'VE should take up arms if arbitration went
against u.s.
That Is to say, he wants arbitration, but he
wants it to be in his favor. and he will not
abide by it unless it Is in his favor Should the
arbitral tribunal decide against him. he would
repudiate its decision and resume fighting. Il
will leave It TO any one to judge the case" he
saws. in effect. provided he judges it in my
favor" 1t must he evident to oil that such an
attitude would make arbitration worse than
useless Such arbitration would not be arbitra-
ton ut all. but merely the execution OF partisan
preiudgment And OF course the British must
have the right TO insist that the arbitral
verdict shall he in their favor. and TO repudiate
II if it is not If two parties should submit
their dispute TO arbitration, but each should de-
clare his willingness 10 abide by the result only
in case it were in his favor, ii is absolutely
certain that the case would rot and could not
be settled. Beyond that the principle of arbi-
tration would by such a performance be dis
credited, and its practice would be made a
farce.
In his naive confession Mr.. Kriiger has set
forth the hopelessness of any attempt to settle
the South African troubles by conference and
compromise That hopelessness has been ap-
parent from the outset. Both parties have been
absolutely mmovahle in their fundamental po-
sitions. They have been willing to yield nom
essential points. but not essential ones. The
Beers have never been willing 10 concede any
thing which would imperi the perpetual con-
tinuance OF Boer rule, and the British have
been equally unwilling to accept any arrange
ment which would not give them the rule when
they became the majority. In all the Boer talk
about arbitration. both before and since the out
break of the war. there has been this reserva-
ton which Mr.. Kriger expresses. persist
ent and imperative even when unexpressed
that the arbitration must be in their favor or
they would not abide by It. In such circum-
stances arbitration would have been mockery.
The only way TO settle such quarrel is to fight
1t out.

altogether happy one. Including Edward OF
Carnarvon and the present Prince, 1t has been
borne by sixteen persons. OF these fve died
before coming to the throne. four came to the
throne. but were deposed and put to death, one
came TO the throne and reigned long, but was in
sane, four had unbroken reisns, and NTH Is
now adding to their number. while the remaining
one has just received the princely title IN cir
cumstances perhaps more auspicious than those
of any Of his predecessors. In one important
respect there has of late been decided change
for the better in the relationship Of the Prince
to the sovereign. In more than one early case
the heir apparent was more than Suspected or
leading a sort of opposition court against his
father. But Edward VII during all his long
tenure of the princely title-the longest on rec
ord-invariably set the fine example of perfect
loyalty TO and sympathy with his mother the
Queen. and that he is King he enjoys a
similarly we'll affected regard from his son
whom he has just made Prince Of Wales That
fact makes the present occasion one upon which
both King and Prince are especially to be con-
gratulated
