11th -A
Reuter
cable
‘rom Lucknow,
India,
says
that Lucknow

cave
the
Prince
of
Wales
a great
recep
|
tion.
Following
the
usual
official recep-
|
tion
and
the
inspection
of the guard of
|
honour
by
the
Prince,
a procession
was
|
formed
by
a
strong
escori
of
the
16th
|
Lancers.
The
scene
enroute
was r2ally
|
remarkable.
A strike
had
been
proclaim-
|
ed by the dislnyal
element,
but
the
popu-
|
lace
clearly
disvegarded
it.
Behind
the
|
lines of
British and
native
troops
guard-
|
ing the
thoroughfares
were
massed
un-
|
broken
erowds,
squatting
and standing
|
scores
deep.
While
bursts
of
cheering
|
were
chiefly
eonfined
to
the
Buropean
|
quarters,
the
whole
demeanour
of
tue
|
natives
was
oge ol friendly curiosity,
©v-
|
idently the
ac:ion o
the
Indian
Covt.
in
taking <teps
to put
an
end
to intimidation
|
by
the
Extremists
was pleasing
to
the
|
native
mind,
which
loves
pageantry.
|
Strike orders
have in the
past
been
obey-
ed,
it
is
believed,
more from
fear
than
conviction.
Obvious
precautions
were
taken
to
prevent
a
recurrence
of what
happened
at
Bombay
when
the
Prince
was
there,
but proved
to
be
quite
unne-
|
cessary.
