A TERRIBLE ROW
At Mallow Junction Upon the Arrival
of Prince and Princess of Wales.

London, April 13.--There was a terrible row at Mallow Junction, county
Cork this afternoon on the arrival of the Prince and Princess of Wales
from Dublin, on their way to visit the Earl of Listowel at Convamore. A
large crowd broke through the police lines and were driven back at the
point of the bayonet. Messrs. O'Brien, Redmund and Harrington, Irish
members of Parliament, were in the crowd and were badly mauled. Ever
since the riot the government has monopolized the telegraph wires and no
further details are obtainable. News of the disturbance caused intense
excitement in the House of Commons.

MALLOW, Ire., April 13.--The principal organizer of the demonstration
against the Prince of Wales was William O'Brien and M. Peditor of United
Ireland. In an interview this evening Mr. O'Brien said : "My object is
accomplished. I have the [sic] shown special reporters who accompany
the Prince of Wales the true Irish view of his visit and I have
vindicated Ireland's name."
