INTJLAN VISIT POSTPONED
By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Renter.) Received 0.10 a.m.-, August 19. LONDON, August 17. A Royal Proclamation announces that' His Majesty hopes to send tilic Prince of Wales to India next winter cannot, unhappily, be realised, -because the increasing and devoted labour of the Prince of Wales in other parts of the Empire, had laid so heavy a, burden upon his' strength that it is impossible for him at present to undertake another pprotraeted and .arduous journey, without assuredly endangering his health. The visit consequently must be postponed, but if he has recovered it is hoped that the Prince, of ."Wales will visit India in the winter of next year. Meanwhile, in order ■'to mark in a special manner -the
momentous step India is now takin" towards greater constitutional freedom, ( His Majesty is sending the Duke of Connaught to inaugurate Indian legislatures and take part in other ceremonies which the Prince of Wales* would have performed.
