King Edward, who was only thirty-four years old at the time of his visit, had long wished to do so was originally made by Lord Canning travel in India. The suggestion that he should 20 the Prince Conson, who took it up warmly knowing what a good political effect it might Other Indian statesmen approved the idea, have if judiciously executed.

Sir Bartle Frere was fixed upon as the man best fitted to undertake the management of the tour, and it is only in the "Life" of this dis- tinguished statesman, compiled by Mr. John Martineau, that the inside bistory of the visit has ever been told.

For six or seven months before the start Sir Bartle Frere was kept busy with continual in- terviewing and letter-writing. The first diff. culty that arose had to do with the expenses of the tour. The Indian Government were to pay the travelling expenses in India. The House of Commons passed a vote of £60,000 for the personal expenses of the then Prince and his suite, in spite of the proposition of cer-. tain members, who could not see that the visit had any more significance than a magnified Lord Mayor's Show.

AN INSPECTION INVITED, Hongkong, 6th December, 1904.

As no more money could be asked for from Parliament that session, it was suggested that, as it would not do for the presents the Princes gave to be less valuable than those he received, an order should be issued limiting the value of what the Indian chiefs were to offer.

The matter was allowed to stand until the Prince reached. Bombay, when, to Sir Bartle Frere's relief, Lord Northbrook obtained an. other 100,000 from the Indian Treasury, for the presents' fund.

make arrangements with the special canes. Among other things, Sir Bartle Frere had to pendents of the newspapers. He desired to give them every facility for obtaining informa tion without interfering with the Prince's privacy:

There was an erroneous idea'apparently that to go out to India as the public expense on the seven or eight correspondents would be allowed Serapis, the Admiralty troopship, which was fitted out to carry the Prince. Swarms of editors and special correspondents personally interviewed Sir Burtle Frere in their endeavours to be included among the mythical seven or eight.

"They seem never content with a refusal in writing," Sir Bartie wrote to Lord Salisbury, at the time. One very intelligent young gentleman, after a very long argument, seemed nearly nonplused, when a very bright idea struck him.

RESOURCEFUL JOURNALIST. "I had suggested he should always go on ahead, and wait the Prince's arrival at Calcutta, Bombay, etc. No, sir, on reflection I see that would never do. It would give me the best view of the Prince's arrivals, but not of his departures, and that is the really important part. You see, it is certain that attempts will be made to assassinate him and probably as he in leaving some place. Now, if I had gone on ahead when the attempt was made, I am sure it would kill me."

"Kill you? I said, rather interested in his very ipyal feeling.

Yes, it, it would kill me. I am sure it would. I have never been baaten yet-never failed to be present at the most interesting moment, and if anything of the kind were to happen when I had gone on ahead, it would kill me at once."

As showing the anxiety of some people to intrade upon the private life of the royal ta mily, certain persons and associations in Scot land and elsewhere thought it their special duty to address the Prince as to the manner in which he ought to spend his Sundays during

PRINCE'S POPULARITY. The impression. made by the Prince was tamarkable:.

"Ha told Major Henderson, after the first day or two," wrote Sir Bartle Frere, "that he wished to talk. to the visitors, and not to be kept to the official allent, pantomime and the result was at once apparent. Even Hendemon confessed that his Royal Highness had found bis way to the hearts of the chiefs, even if he infringed the dusty rules of durbar etiquette."

The constant round of darbars, banquets, balls, picnics, and other festivities was a great tax even upon the strongest constitution, bat the Prince came through. unscathed. "No one," wrote Sir Bartle Frere, "stand" work, heat damp, or exposure better than his Royal Highness, and few stand them so well,"

The political results of the Prince's visit were completely successful, 2.

wrote Lord Napier of Magdals, which the "The marks of approbation and regard," Prince has shown towards the native army are politically of the greatest value, and have greatly delighted it.”.
