may be taken as examples OF the whoie
trend of the London editorials.
The Times says: 1.-THE Queen, 1T is be-
lieved, has been deeply touched by the
devotion and courage of her Irish troops
and has been thinking of the means by
which she can best convey to them ana
their fellow-countrymen the gratitude she
feels for their services so generously ana
so Loyalty rendered to her throne. we
cannot doubt the masses of the Irish peo-
pie will cordially appreciate the spirit In
which the royal visit will be made. The
Queen goes amongs them as the repre-.
sentative of no party and no politicai
cause. She goes to pay an honor and a
compliment to the .Irishmen of the nation.
There are, of course, rreconclliaDies III
Ireland who would be delighted TO mar
the success of he Queens visit If they
could find a pretext. 1t must be the bust
ness of those responsible for the conduct
of her Majesty's journey and the arrange
ments during her stay not 10 give them a
pretext. If it be made clear 10 the people
that The Queen has come amongst them
only to thank them for what their rela-
lives nave done for her they Will pay lit
tie heed to the ~instigations Of the dis
loyal and give her royal welcome with all
the Celtic fervor of their hearts
The Chronicle says: 1.-The motive which
rompted the visit, doubtless, in part Is
a desire to see and be seen by 1rishmen In
their own homes and contribute directly
10 the final reconciliation which both ma
tions equally desire. but which the Ma
tionalists seem to strenuously resist. An
other reason, more personal though scarce
ly stronger, exists in the wish of her Ma
jesty to do special honor to the part or
her don,inions which has furnished so
many of her most gallant and devoted sol,
iiers. Nothing could be better inspired
and more suspicious than this two-fold
message to Ireland of the Queens con-
sidcration and esteem"
ANOTHER Drive TO-DAY.
The Queen will tomorrow take another
drive, passing, during the afternoon,
through the fashionable West End quar-
tiers, and there is every likelihood of even
a greater demonstration of loyalty and
patriotism than was witnessed at Buck
ingham Palace this evening.
1t Is now said that her Majesty will ex-
tend the visit to Ireland to three weeks,
and will take the opportunity of her pres
ence there to announce her consent to the
formation of a regiment of Irish guards.
1t is also expected that she Will hold a
drawing room at Dublin Castle, or at least
open IL in person. This would be the most
ever held in Ireland's metropolis. The Bel
fast authorities are trying hard to induce
the Queen to visit their city, but as at
present arranged the visit will be confined
to Dublin. Most of the Nationalist in the
House of express their gratihca-
ton and concurrence with the views OF Mr..
John Redmond respecting the queens
plans.
|. The editorials I'm this (Friday) mornings
papers admit that Thursdays demonstra-
tons were quite without precedent, and
they TEEN with patriotic expressions Of
qualification at the Queens opportune and
tactful contribution toward the unity OF
the empire.
The Times says: ''The Queen has had
many royal greetings, but it is doubtful
whether the spontaneity and exuberant en-
thusiasm of yesterday have been equaied.
There was no pageant, but there was a
constant exhibition of intense and genuine
popular feeling, which is itself the most
impressive of all pageants." Commenting
on the Queens visit to Ireland and the
speech of John Redmond in the House of
Commons, the Times says: Mr.. Redmond
performed his difficult task with excellent
judgment and taste"
The Daily News, which describes the
demonstration as an "1mprovised jubilee
in some ways even more impressive than
the diamond jubilee, says: Its significance
is beyond question. Nor can IL be doubted
that her Majesty's visit TO Ireland will also
be a great success. providing care is taken
that it is not exploited for political pur-
poses. Mr.. Redmond's remarks in the
House were well conceived and we'll ex-
pressed"
The Daily Telegraph says: 1.-THE demon
s~tration has never been equaled in the an
nails of any other nation. Not even the
Queen herself has ever known a demon
stration OF love and loyalty so deep. so
immediate. so poignant, so lnexpressible in
solicitude and tenderness. so touching and
so thrilling. The bonds between the en-
pire and the Queen to-day are those of liy-
ing. BREATHING. chivalrous DEVOTION
All the papers express commentator of
Mr.. Redmond's attitude. The Daily Chron-
icle saws: ut would be a mistake 10 sup
pose that the Queens visit Will remove
Irish aspirations 10 home rule. but this
will in no way initiate against the success
of the visit"
Biograph portraits OF the Queen were
greeted with tremendous ovations at the
music halls tonight.
