Visit To Dublin

Dublin. April S.-This morning Queen
Victoria attended service in the private
chapel of the vice regal lodge. accom-
panied by the Duke and Duchess of Con-
naught, Princess Christian M Princess
Henry of Battenberg. Her majesty Sc
lected the hymns ans by the choir, which
came from st. Patrick's cathedral. The
archbishop of Dublin preached. Only a
portion of the household were present, as
the chapel is a tiny building.
This afternoon, although he weather
was ~unfavorable, the queen took her GUS
tomary country drive. passing through
Cabra, Fling Las, kilashano. Coppagh
and BlanchardstOwn. and through the
beautiful valley of the Tolka. Everywhere
she met with an enthusiastic reception.
The rain marred the beauty of the drive
somewhat, but large crowds awaited her
majesty's return to Dublin and heartily
cheered her.
Another incident is told of the queens
kindness of heart. 1t appears h ow-
ing to train delays, a party of children
arrived Yesterday too late for the chill
dren's reception. The queen, hearing of
their disappointment through Lady Mayo,
had them brought to the gates of the vice
regal lodge today and drove slowly
through their ranks on her a to the
country drive, of course to their keen de-
light.
The queen today reiterated expressions
of her extreme pleasure at the children's
low.

Kentucky Killing.

Midd1esboro. Kentucky, April S.-Much
excitement prevails here over a clash OF
the authorities last night. Will Mosley.
a special policeman, shot Charles Cecil.
a deputy sheriff. and was himself later
killed by unknown persons. Warrants
have been sworn out for the arrest OF
Chief of Police King. John Mosley. a
brother of the man killed and Will Sulli-
van. The latter two, who were extra po-
licemen, went with Chief of Police King
to arrest a negro who had been released
by the city Judge.
The fight is the outcome of the bitter
feeling that has existed here between
two factions and the end is difficult 20
predict. The situation is alarming to-
night. aa
