THE PRINCE.

DEMONSTRATIONS OF LOYALTY AT COLOMBO. DELHI, March 22. The demonstrative loyalty of Colombo was again shown this morning, when the Prince ot Wales inspected the Island Infantry and presented colours in broiling heat. When the ceremony was over thousands of Ceylonese rushed eagerly around him cheering him wildly. When the car drove off to the Queen’s House the crowd ran after it, still shouting for the King and the Prince and waving Union Jacks. There were the same signs of universal loyalty last night, when the streets were packed with slow-mov-ing processions. The spectators afoot crowded over into the motor cars, rickshaws, and carts, surging round the Queen’s House with their flags and cries for the Prince. IN JAPAN. TOKIO, March 22. Those sections of Japan which the Prince of Wales will visit are getting a thorough scrubbing and road repairing, while railway stations are being repainted. The special train is ready. Children in the streets are everywhere singing and whistling “God Save the King.” Hundreds of shops in Tokio and Yokohama to-day began selling Union Jacks and other British decorations. On the third day of the visit there will be a review of the Tokio Garrison, whereat the Prince is expected to appear in the uniform of a Japanese general after being commissioned with an honorary title. -
