Continuous Ovation on Railway Journey to Tokio: A Vast Sea of Humanity: Enthusiastic Tokio, Apr. 12.
With the thunder of the welcome accorded him on his arrival in Yokohama still ringing in his ears, the Prince of Wales, aboard the special train built for his special use while in this country, arrived! in Tokio. The journey from Yokohama to Tokio was one continuous ovation, and the members of the party accompanying His Royal Highness were at a loss to know where Yokohama ended and Tokio began.
Every station platform was crowded and the fences along the railway were lined with masses of people who wished to see the Prince from the Occident, who had so royally entertained their own Prince Regent in England a short time ago. The traditional silence and bowed head as Royalty passed was once again shattered to-day, and cheer after cheer broke from the vast. crowds.
The crowds gathered outside the main station in Tokio were perhaps ithe largest ever seen in the capital. Viewed from the upper storey of the station, it was one vast sea of humanity. The buildings were completely beflagged, the Union Jack even acting as a substitute for the window blinds, which, in accordance with an ancient custom, must be drawn when Royalty is passing.
