A NICE ROW IN DUBLIN.
Irishmen Fear They VIII he Given Ne
Show mt the Worlds Fair.

Irishmcn Fear They VIII He Given No
Show Mt the Worlds Fair.
DUBLIN, March There is nice row
in Dublin at the prospect OF the Irish in
dustries getting shut out altogether from
the British section at the Chicago exhibi-
tion.
When the American Commissioners
were here last year, Mr.. w. j. Lane, M.
r., warned them that the British COM
mittee, as then constituted, would prac-
tically exclude Irish industries from the
exhibition, and he urged the format ion
of a separate commission for Ireland.
The American delegates contended that
this was impossible, as il would interfere
with the Royal Commission.
In appealing TO the Irish Members OF
Parliament to take up the matter the
Freeman's Journal said:
"We are sure no Irishman, either here
or in America, would like to see Ireland
left out in the cold at Chicago, but that
must be the inevitable result if the Eng
lish Royal Commission is permitted TO
have its way unchallenged."
The result of this appeal is that Sir Hen
ry Wood, the Secretary of the Royal Com
mission, hustled off to Dublin to confer
with the Municipal Council and the
Chamber OF Commerce about giving Ire
land fair show.
He was asked TO attend a public meet
ing presided over by the Lord Mayor, and
listened to some plain talk. The result
was that Especial committee of prominent
Dublinites will look after Irish interests.
Though the time for application for
space has passed, Sir Henry consented to
receive Irish entries for some days longer.

Who Killed vulco witch?

CoNsTANTINoPLE, March IN. Neil
doff, the Russian Ambassador, has made a
strong protest to the Porte against an ar
ticle published in the Svodoba, daily
political paper of Sofia, which attributes
the death OF DIR. Vulcovitch, the Bulga-
rian agent in Constantinople To the ma
chinations of Russia. DR.. Vulcovitch, it
will be recalled was stabbed in the right
side, on the night of February "a, while
he was preceding to his club at Constan-
tinople. His assassin, whose identity has
not been discovered, sprang upon him
from doorway and inflicted wound
that shortly afterward proved fatal. The
murder created the most intense iDdigna-
tion throughout Bulgaria, and many per-
sons believed it was due to DR.. Vulco-
vitch's opposition TO Russian influence in
his native country. A despatch from st.
Petersburg denies that the assassin OF Dr.
Vulcovitch was NJ. lvanog, the former
Kavass of the Russian Consulate at Con-
stantinople.
