Princely Visit

While Lord Renfrew, on the northern continent of America, moves in com parative freedom, another prince, on the southern continent, has to be watched and guarded zealously.

Crown Prince Umberto of Italy, having been feted with royal ceremonies by Argentina (TIME, Aug. 18), departed for Brazil, where he was to have been accorded a royal welcome in the gay capital of Rio de Janeiro. This plan was mutilated, however, by the recent Sao Paulo revolt (TIME, July 14 et seq.), and the chances of the Prince's being assassinated if he landed were thought to 'be so great that President A. da Silva Bernardes requested him to remain upon his warship, where President and Government are to pay him homage.
