LONDON. March 31.-The Life Guards.
couriers. carriages, pots and pans and 9TH
er royal paraphernalia, have already gone
10 the Emerald Isle, which eagerly waits
for Queen Victoria to follow. How her
Majesty will be received and the prospects
OF her doings in Dublin have quite overshad-
owed all other topics. even in week which
has been marked by the annual intervar-
sity boat race, the resignation of the Duke
of Norfolk as postmaster general, the an
nouncement of the Delagoa Railroad
award, and the rumors of possible war in
the far East. Great Britain's own war in
South Africa has almost been forgotten, so
uninteresting has been the progress of
peace in the Orange Free State, compared
with the stirring accounts of battles which
the British people had grown accustomed
10 read daily.
The Queen is said to be I'm excellent
health and we'll able to bear the strain of
the trip to Ireland. She will commence her
journey April 2 and sleep aboard the royal
yacht Victoria and Albert, landing at
Kingston April 4. In anticipation of her
Majestys progress through the city the
streets of Dublin are already gay with flags
and decorations. The curious feature of
the preparations at the vice regal lodge,
where the Queen will stay. are the pots
and pans already referred to. Her Majesty
is tremendously particular about her kitch-
en- arrangements, and those at the vice re-
gal lodge were found to be quite below the
royal standard. Consequently no less thar

pots and many other varieties of cooking
utensils have been sent to Dublin esneciai.

formerly atd-de-camp to the lord lieuten-
ant However, though the Queen is said to
be full of excitement and enthusiasm i'm re-
gard to her visit. she is not forgetful Of
south Africa. story is going the rounds
that the Queen remarked that she was
aware many people imagined her anxiety
about the war would cause her death. II
may die, added her Majesty, ''but il will
be from other cause. / do not mean to let
Mr. Kruger kill me-"
The almost unprecedented action of a
Cabinet minister giving up his office to go
TO fight for his country results in giving
South Africa not only England's premier
peer. but three other holders of the highest
rank in the peerage, namely. the Duke of
marlborough. the Duke of Roxburgh and
the Duke Of Westminster. ranging from
hfty-two years old in the case of the Duke
OF Norfolk TO the Duke of Westminster's
twenty-one.
