NO LOOSENING OF TIES.
LOYALTY OF RULING HOUSES.
ASSURANCES TO THE PRINCE By Telegraph—T"res3 Association—Copyright. Reuter. . DELHI. Fob. 10. Of the 250 "uests at the banquet given by the ruling princes to the Prince of Wales, at least half were princes, maharajahs, or sirdars. All were in full Durbar dress of silks and jewels. The banquet was one of the most remarkable scenes of the tour. The Maharajah of Gwalior, proposing the Prince of Wales' health,
declared that the houses of the Indian rulers and the Imperial house of Windsor had perfect identity of aims and ideals. All wanted the endurance of the British Empire, on the growth and solidarity of which depeuded the world's peace.
The Prince of Wales, in a stirring reply, rejoiced in the expression of tho sentiments of the Indian Princes, and their efforts to strengthen mutual trust. He afterwards presented their colours to tho Sixteenth Rajputs, an enormous crowd testifying to tho Prince's popularity.
