QUEEN EN- ROUTE FOR IRELAND
Extraordinary Precautions TO Guard
the Safety of the British Ma
tons Beloved Ruler.

London, April 5, 1910 a.. m<-Queen
Victoria left Windsor at half-past nine
last evening. en- route for Ireland. Her
majesty is accompanied by Princess
Christian and Princess Henry of Bat
tenberg, and is attended by the
countess of Antrim, Hon. Harriet
Phfpps. Sir Arthur Biggs. private Sec
rotary to the queen; Sir Fleetwood Ed
wards, keeper of her majesty'ss privy
purse. and Capt. Ponsonby.
The queen had driven out to Frog
mere during the afternoon amid con-
siderable enthusiasm On the part of the
townspeople. and her departure from
the station was comparatively quiet,
although quite n crowd had assembled
to cheer the outgoing train.
Not in the history of the Great West
ern and London Il Northwestern rail-
ways, have greater precautions ever
been observed to protect the royal
train than these which had been per-
fected when her majesty started north
ward last night. These officials, wlit
have superintended the transportation
of czars. kaisers and the princes Of all
nations in and out of Windsor, have
exerted themselves beyond precedent
to insure the safety of the royal train
between Windsor and Holy Head.
Royal trains seldom run at night,
but the queen, who is especially adj
verse to fast travel, stipulated that the
trip should occupy IL hours, although
it is usually covered in six. This slow
ness, at time when traffic is lightest,
was one of the reasons for deciding
upon night run.
The preparations for the trip had
been in hand for weeks, and the train
had already run every foot of the route,
and every particle of the apparatus of
the train and the track had been sub
jected to the most careful inspection.
Leaving Windsor, the royal train was
in the hands of the Great Western Co. S
officials to Bushberry, where the Lon
don & Northwestern Co.'S officials as
sumed responsibility at midnight,
when the journey by way of Crewe and
Chester to Holyhead began.
The officials of the latter. line had
little sleep last night.
Operators andtrack inspectors at ev-
cry station along the route, no matter
how small, were imperatively required
to be on duty half an hour before the
royal train was due, to examine per-
sonally as to signals and switches, and
to see that all was in proper working
order.
The pilot engine, named "Prince of
Wales" ran quarter of an hour
ahead of the royal train, and after its
passage all tracks were kept absolute
ly clear.
The royal train was drawn by two
locomotives, with expert engineers.

V|CIOR|A'S IRISH VISIT.
It Is Looked Upon in Dublin as One
of the Wisest Acts of
Her Reign.
ACCEpTEDAS AN ACT OF WOMANLY GRACE
The City of Dublin and the Entire
Route to be Traversed by Her
Majesty Already in Holiday At
tire-Length of the Visit VIII be
Governed by Circumstances.

New York, April "a dispatch to
| the Tribune from Dublin says:
The queens visit to Ireland is one
of the wisest acts of her reign. Dublin
has accepted it in advance as an act
of womanly grace, designed to express
appreciation of the work of the Irish
generals and the loyal gallantry of the
Irish soldiers.
Good Political Instinct.
Lord Mayor Talon is a nationalist
and staunch follower Of Mr. Red
mond. but he has shown good political
instinct in adapting himself to the sit
nation. An irreconcilable minority,
:lnder Mr.. Harrington, has sought 10
stir up strife, and is threatening re-
newal of agitation this week, but the
lord mayor has the people of Dublin
behind him. and will not endanger his
political future when he meets the
queen at the city gates in Lesson
street, and presents the civic sword
and official keys.
Took His Cue From Redmond
He has taken his cue from Mr.. Red
mond. that there is no politics in the
queens visit, yet is too shrewd poll
tician himself to offer any resistance
to public feeling in Dublin, which has
been strongly influenced by the COM
pliment paid by the queen to the city
in holding court here for season.
Already in Holiday Attire
The city is already in holiday colors
in honor of her coming, and the route
w!tif n Sbo will follow, for aiob+ villas
is continuously decorated with masts.
sire amers and flags. The cordiality OF
her welcome to the Irish capital can
net be doubted. Some threats are
heard that there will be serious trou-
BILE, and even rioting, if Orange pro-
SESSIONS are seen in the streets, but it
is net likely that the queens visit will
be married by any unpleasant Incl
dents.
Length of the Visit VIII Depend.
There are no official announcements
respecting the length of the queens
stay III Dublin. 1t will probably de-
pcnt upon the temper of the people
here. If there are political disturb
apces, she will shorten it: if she ia
convinced, on the other hand, that
her tribute is appreciated, and tends
to promote good feeling, she will pro
long her stay to a full month.
Prepared For Long Stay.
She is prepared to make long visit.
