CHILDREN SEE THE QUEEN.
Fifty Thousand Gu to Dublin to Get =
Glimpse of Victoria.

Dublin, April S.-The children's
demonstration, which closed Queens
week in Ireland, was probably one of
the most gladsome days either the
Queen or Dublin has known in years.
Certain 1t Is that the Queen Is making
fresh conQuests daily. and her mates-
ty's many acts of personal self-sacri-
flee have completely won the hearts of
the people of Ireland.
Yesterdays demonstration had ele-
ments OF joy which the Queen has eX-
perenced, but seldom In the recent
gloomy months. There were miles of
cheering children under continuous
canopy of fiuttering flags, with back
ground of thousands of holiday-mnk-
ing elders who accompanied them.
The charming weather tended to
make the celebration in every way de-
lightful. not only to the Queen, but to
the little princes who followed In the
royal procession.
The genuineness and spOntaneity of
the children's welcome kept her maj
esty in continual good humor, and yet
visibly affected her deeper feelings ms
WELL The fact that 10000 children ar
rived and departed from Dublin with
out serious accident so far as known.
is not the least remarkable feature Of
the day,

WEBSTER DAVIS FOR B0ERS.
Makes Strong Speech Washington Which Creates Great
Enthuiasm-Bg Crowd Attends.

Warrington, April o. Webster
| Davis, late assistant secretary OF the
interior, made profoundly impressive
speech at the Grand opera house last
night, before an audience that liter
ally jammed the auditorium and the
stage. Thousands were unable to gain
admittance. On the stnge were Sena-
tors Mason and Allen. Representatives
Lentx. De Armond, Shafroth, Talbert
and Sulzer, the latter accompanied by
Judge Conlan of New York. Mr..
Davis address consumed two hours In
delivery, and evoked tears, derisive
laughter and enthusiasm of a remark
able description. Some administration.
lists were In the house. They hissed
Chairman Moran's uncomplimentary
references to the administration, but
the Kisses were lost amid hurricane
of applause.
One man interrupted Mr.. Davis
when he was speaking OF the British
control of the mail and cables, by
ministration." II was u crucial test
There was intense silence for mo-
ment. Then Mr.. Davis replied: "Let
the administration alone. 1t Is a pa
triotic one and will do Its duty"
Secretary Davis made these import
ant points:
First-That there are 100000 British
In the field and only 10000 Beers.
Second-Thnt the Beers have not
violated the Red Cross and the white
flag.
ThIrd-That the British have done
both.
Fourth-That the British use dunn
dun bullets.
Fifth-That the British lost 1900
men on the Spion kop, while the Beers
lost but 147.
SIxth-That Buffers army of 10000
and Whites of $4,000 were made to
suffer loss Of 16,OO0 men by 1000
Beers.
Seventh-Thnt the attitude Of this
country Is continuously misrepresented
throughout Europe by British agents.
to give the impression that the United
States will resent my Intervention iu
South Africa by European nations.
Eighti-That the British Lancers,
after battle was over, lnnced al the
wounded burghers.
Ninth-That wounded British SOL
der asked fourteen-year-old boy
Boer for drink of water, and when
the boy offered him a drink out of his
canteen the British soldier stabbed him
to the heart.
The evening was one of excitement,
Mr.. Davis speaking with vchemence,
with pathos, and always with intense
dramatic effect. When he depicted the
gallant efforts of the Beers and their
success against an overwhelming force
of the British, shouts of derision arose.
When he told of the British acts OF In
humanity, the auditors shuddered and
women groaned aloud. When he COM
pared the Beers with the American
colonial patriots the excitement was
hysterical. Complacent Washington,
in its official circles, hns been thrilled
tonight as 1t has not been In years.

The most amusing feature Of the
present violent crusade being conduct
ed by the press of New York against
immortality in plays. to those familiar
with sach extravagant campaigns. is
the probability that the newspapers
are acting from anything but earnest
motives In 10 clamorously demanding
the suppression of "sapho," "Zaza" and
other plays OF a like nature. 1t is a
mock campaign. seemingly conducted
solely for the notoriety and advertis-

Tho immense development of the ex-
port trade Of the United States and
the almost limitless possibilities for
its further extention are intimated in
figures sivsn out recently by the
statistical bureau at Washington.
From this It appears that. In 80 far on

facturers are competing successfully
with their German and English rivals
and that American bicycles. agricul-
tural machinery, steam engines and
tools In general are extensively sold

A Chinese Governor Gives the Engineers
Lot of Trouble.
There Is n humorous side to the for
eign troubles in China. The chief en-
gineers of the railway that Is being
built through Shang-tung province by
the Germans complained to taotoi,
or local governor, that the people pulled
up and carried Off the stakes that sur
veyors had driven into the ground to
guide the construction gangs In grad
ing the right of way. so that he had
been compelled to do the work over
three or four times. The taotoi prom
ised that the mischief should stop, and
said that he would give the matter his
personal attention. The surveyors
went over the line again and marked
it out carefully with wooden pegs.
When they came back few weeks
later they were disgusted to find that
every one of the markers for miles had
disappeared The chief engineer in
the heat of his wrath rushed of to the
tnotoi to make complaint, and the lat
ter, with smile that was childlike mad
bland, attempted to soothe him, saying:
1.-The stakes are all right, every one
of them; had my men go out and take
them all up and keep them safely until
you returned, and have got them tied
up In bundles for yOu.'
The letter which brings this interest
ing anecdote all the way from Shang-
tung relates that the engineer grabbed
the mandarin by the throat and nearly
shook his head Off. although the lat
ter had done what he supposed to be a
great favor with the best Of inten-
tiOns

ROBERTS. ADVANCE DELAYED.

He Needs Horses and HIS Men Need Heavy
Clothing.
London, April 9.-The Bloemfontein
correspondent OF the Morning Post, tel
egraphing Fiday, says:
mo anxiety need be felt as to the
security of Bloemfontein, although the
enemy succeed In destroying telegraph
ic communication and even In cutting
the railway for brief period.
"a number of civilians, including La
dy Bentinck and Lady Edward Cecil,
who arrived here recently from Cape
Town, left to-day in compliance with q
general order Issued by the authori-
| ties"
The Cape Town correspondent Of the
Daily News, telegraphIng Friday, says:
"Owing to lack of horses, and to the
suffering Of the men from pneumonia,
due to thin clothing, Lord Roberts has
decided not to make n big move until
the troops are provided with thicker un-
fforms"
The Bloemfontein correspondent Of
the Times, telegraphing Friday, says:
"The Beers now stretch In thin line
from Sannns Post on the south to a
point east of Jngersfontein. The rail-
way stations are amply protected, but
their defense necessitntes heavy patrol
ling work.
1.-THE question of protecting the sur
rendered Free Stnters Is being solved
by their reception into the military
camps. Many are tiocking here, but It
is reported that the farms westward of
the capital are tennnted by women on
Iy, the men having re-joined the Boer
commanders"
The American scout, Burnham, testf-
fies to the terrific pnce with which the
Boer commanders cover the ground,
and the ease with which they move
their guns.
The Beers are displaying increased
activity In Natal, but there is no sign
that General Butler Is moving.
