ANXIETY FOR VICTORIA.
Fears That Harm May Befall Her
While in Dublin.
Especial to Baltimore Sum-

especial TO bdIIlIIlOTc ouU.J
London, March 1~S.-Anxiety exists in
government circles about the queens
coming journey to Ireland. There is
much comment and a grave shaking
of heads.
1t is said tina Joseph Chamberlain
engineered the whole thing, but this
is denied. One Of he prime movers
in the plan was the queens son, the
Duke of Connaught, who is the new
comander-in-chief of the army in Ire
land. Another was the Duchess of
York, who azores Ireland and the
atrice, who will accompany the queen.
But it must be owned that the scenes
in Dublin on st. Patrick's day n he
turbulence of the crowd have some
what frightened many.
The queen is so enthusiastic about
her coming visit that the least trouble
would wound her feelings. Besides,
she is intensely sensitive and wrought
up at the present movement. Terror
lists are not wanting who profess to
believe in danger to her from the hand
of some fanatic.
There was, at yesterdays cabinet
council, a discussion as to ~abrogating
the coercion act, which still holds in
Ireland, and which, it has been consid-
cred, might fittingly be done away
with on the occasion Of the queens
visit. A few days will probably suf-
flee the law officers of the crown to
consider the question in it's technical
sense and give IN opinion as to what
is possible to be done. Should the gov
eminent see it's way to repeal the law,
which is generally considered to be no
longer necessary under altered cir
cumstances, it would be a triumph,
and, pleasing as it might be to the
Irish, it would be equally so here and
would be Endorsed as a popular meas
l1re all over England.

Richmond, Va, March 19.-Just be-
fore his death Sunday afternoon, DR..
y. H. Temple, of Brunswick county,

atty Of the law meted out to him, and
if he scape on any t~echnicality, he
wanted his (Temple's) friends to deal
with him as they thought best.
Sunday night, the officers at Law

the prisoner out into the woods, where
they kept him until morning.
A special from near the scene of the
tragedy says that Temples friends
only ask that Riddick be given a
speedy trial.
Riddick received the news of his VIC
TINS death very indifferently, simply
saying that his family was avenged.

BUYING SOVEREIGNTY"

Hon. Carl Schurz, one Of the leading
German American citizens of the Unit
ed States, has written communication
to the New York Times correcting
some of the statements made by that
ultra partisan paper i'm defending the
administration from the charge of i'm
pcrialism. Commenting upon Amerl-
can sovereignty in the Philippines, he
says:
While SO profiting from the cooper
alton of the Filipinos as our military
allies against the common enemy"
we know that the Fllipinos believed
tlat, fighting side by side with the Re
public of Washington and Lincoln,
they were fighting for their own indie

knowing that, had they not SO belicv-
ed, they would have acted differently.
Our government permitted them to be-
Our government permitted them to be
the outcome of n common victory over
the common enemy, and meanwhile it
continued to accept the benefit of their
cooperation, which was based upon
that belief. This went on until we had
troops enough on the field to make us,
as VIC thought, masters of the situation.
Then the scene changed. President
Mckinley proceeded to conclude a
peace treaty with the common enc.

to be heard concerning the future OF
their country. We simply slammed the
door in their faces, ms IL the future of
their country were "none OF their bust

allies we bought" as eS.Secretary
Day has it, from Spaiu, the common

allies, tho same sovereignty which In
the Cuba precedent we had affirmed TO
have been forfeited TO the people of the
country. Now we recognize that SOW

that Spain had not only morally but ac-

tune in this respect as this city has
been, and the effect in them on election
day may well he considered in season
and with anxiety. In Cleveland, for
example, the orders TO shut down tenn
porarily "for repairs" the Lake Erie
rolling mills, which gave employment
to Il large number of men, have since
been followed by orders to dismiss all
salaricd employees, as the works are
to be closed indefinitely. The under
standing is that they are not to be
rcopened aud that the Lake Erie roll
ing mill which was absorbed by the
Republic Iron & Steel company, one
of the great trusts organized by the
consolidation of number of iron and
steel mills in the different cities and
states, will be wiped out. The men
thrown out have no certainty either,
of being benefited by the starting IN
Cleveland by another big combine of
new mills rumored to require 10000
men for their operation. The Lake
Eric men are out, and may suffer So
verely before they get in again any
where else. Youngstown, too, suffers
from the same combination, the prn
cipal offices of the Republic Iron u
Steel company at Chicago having seut
orders TO shut down indefinitely the
Andrews plant of the company, put
ting it in charge of watchmeu and dis
charging all salaried men connected
with the establishment. including
superintendent, department managers,
order, shipping and time clerks, roll
turner's and others, indicating that 1t
will probably never be operated again
WOULD II he strange II these Glove
land and Youngstown sufferers should
vote in the way that they may think
will hit those who have struck them
downg No campaign management is
shrewd that Ignores such conditions.
Mckinley made n mistake in his
speech of acceptance by his silence
or the trust question. 1t is not II
matter thnt can he ignored. and the
man who suffers from the trade conf
binatlons can vote against his sup.
posed friends, even while self.presor
walton compclS his seeming silence.
