THE PRINCE OF WALES.
- RECEPTION IN LONDON. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE " KAISEJR'S COMPLEMENT. LONDON, April 21. The Prince and Princess of Wales, in returning to London, did not halt at Brussels. The crowd cordially cheered, and there was unbounded enthusiasm as their Royal High* nesses drove through the streets of London. The Queen, in forwarding a letter oi thanks to the stationmaster at Brussels for seizing Sipido, sent him the cross of the Victorian Order. The Kaiser's- kindly impulse in unexpectedly journeying from Berlin to Altona and summoning Prince Henry from Kiel to greet the Prince and Princess of Wales- is regarded, besides a tribute of family affection to the Prince and Princess, as a gracefully significant compliment to England. Leading French newspapers interpret the incident as emphasising the Anglo-German entente cordiale, a manifest rebuke to Anglophobism in Germany, and foreshadowing the utter failure of the Boer peace delegates' mission to Berlin and elsewhere. BERLIN, April 20.' The Kaiser's brother, Prince Henry, J greeted the^Prince of Wales when the latter was passing through Altona on hisivvay to 'England from his visit to Denmark.
