Dublin, April 9.-The police lined
the railroad from Kingstown to Dublin
during the passage OF the royal train
yesterday afternoon, but there was
no occasion for their service. On the
arrival of the train at the station in
Dublin the crowd broke through the
Gordon of police and surrounded the
carriage of the prince cheering him.
The prince stepped from the carriage
to the platform and shook hands
heartily with scores of the people as
they crowded around him. The
effect was electrical. The cheering
became frantic and was continued in
an unbroken roar until the prince
reached Dublin Castle. The prince
telegraphed Queen Victoria, at AK
Les Baiues, France, that he had n glo-
rious reception. The city was bril-
liantly illuminated last night. The
police had difficulty at one time in
preventing collision, when the ma
tionalists began shouting God save
Ireland" and attempted to raise
cheers tor Parnell, an attempt was
made to turn the Union
jack which had been stolen from the
Mansion house by students, but the
attacking party was driven of by the
combined force OF students aud loyal
lists headed by 100 policemen with

"From the information which the

Better than the dynamite way.

Dublin, April "a manifesto ''to
the people of Ireland" covering the
present visit of of the Prince aud
Princess of Wales has been issued to-
day. The document is called Par
nell manifesto and purports TO be
direct from Mr.. Parnell to the Nation
alists in Ireland. The manifesto de-
clares that no good reason can be
seen why the Prince of Wales is en-
titled TO any recognition in Ireland
from any persons except the land
owners and place hunters who are
fattcning on the country's poverty.
II compares the conference to q gov
eminent election agent going about
with smile and calls II an unmeaning
process dealt out lavishly as the price
for continued power.
The levec given to-day at Dublin
castle by the Prince aud Princes Of
Wales was the largest of any held il
Ireland since the visit of Queen Vic
toria in 1919.

Chicago. April 9.-The situation
growing out of the close municipal
election contest in Chicago has
been further complicated by the theft
of the ballot-boX of the third precinct
Oft Fourth ward. The box was
stored in livery stable on Twenty
second street, where the balloting oc-
Cured, but the store-room was
broken into and the box carried
away. The precinct returned 575 for
Smith and 266 for Harrison, and the
theft is supposed TO have been for the
purpose of cOnCcaling some irregu-
larities. The matter has been in the
hands of detectives, and il is rumor-
ed that some of the guilty parties are
known.
The republicans have decided to
contest Carter IIarrison's election,
and Mr.. Harrison declares that he
wishes a recount and believes it will
increase his majority. The fact of
the robbery of the ballot-box has
naturally occasioned great excite
ment in political circles, in view
of the recent exposure of the Eigh-
tecnth ward frauds. Detectives have
been upon the case all day, and the
following facts appear to have been
disclosed: A coupe was engaged by
a saloon keeper named Connolly about
O'Clock this morning, the driver be-
ing ordered to go to the corner OF
State and Twenty-second streets and
wait for passenger. He did so, and
shortly afterward man, bearing
what was undoubtedly the bAllot-boX,
appeared and entered tho coupe. lie
was driven to the corner of llalstead
and Forty-tirst streets, where he en-
tered saloon aud disappeared. No
arrests have yet been made. The loss
of these ballots seriously affects the
result on the mayoralty and the South
Chicago asscssorship.

decided that Sir Peter Lumsden had
gone at once 10 Gudran, for the pur-
pose of remaining on guard at
Robat Pass on the road
to Herat. No doubt was
entertained that between the time OF
the receipt of the broken dispatch
and to-day's developments the gov

Afghan defeat at Penjedeh was reall,
less disastrous than reported, still
considered the incident, unless salts
