Dublin, April A, lz.ZU Il. Hl.-lH spite
of the rain that was falling and the
huge puddles of water underfoot, the ar
rival of Queen Victoria, in the Royal
Yacht Victoria and Albert off Kings
town, was the occasion for much en-
thusiasm although this did not take an
organized FORM owing to the fact that
her majesty came several hours ahead
OF schedule time.
The passage of the channel was
smooth and the queen suffered no dis
comfort, although she expressed regret
that the premature departure from
Holyhead, owing to the threatening
weather conditions should cause her
Irish subjects disappointment. 1t had
been officially announced that she would
reach Kingstown at $3.50 p. m. Tuesday,
instead of 2 p. M, but at the latter
hour the Victoria and Albert loomed
up through the haze and rain and was
greeted with the thunder Of twenty-one
guns from each ship of the British chan
mel squadron
Thousands had poured into Kings
town regardless of the pelting rain,
which luckily ceased about o'clock and
they braved the cold winds and mud
until midnight The celebrations were
confined to an illumination of the war
vessels and to a few fireworks here and
there. A shining shamrock stood out
against the backness of Dublin bay
and from the jackies clustered on the
decks of the squadron came strains of
God Save the Queen" which were
taken up with a will by the patient
crowd ON shore and when Soldiers of
the Queen" fioated across the quiet wa
ter the spectators on Queenstown pier
Joined in with equal fervor.
Although all political conditions are
represented in Kingstown, there was
no attempt at a counter demonstration
In fact the evenings fireworks, singing
and cheering were not marred by any
hostile note and the entry of the queen
into Dublin to-day "wednesday will
probably be a repetition of similar
friendly conditions.
In Dublin itself, seven miles from
Kingstown, the epithet Dear, dirty
Dublin was never before presumably
better justified than yesterday. Dublin
was bedraggled it's finery, which rival
led Londons jubilee decorations, drop
ping sadly from the steady rain, which,
according to the weather prophets, will
be repeated to-day However, last eve
ming, when the showers ceased, ilumin-
ations such as Ireland had never seen lit
up the streets and were viewed by
crowds so dense tha. in several thor
oughfares traffic was impossible. The
castle was gay with a dinner party in
Guiding the leading Irish nobility and
a spirit Of good-natured revelry spread
over every part of Ireland's capital
The queen will disembark some time
before noon to-day and will drive from
through the city, reaching
the vice-regal lodge about 2 o'clock in
the afternoon. Another sword-bearer
has been secured in the place of James
Egan, and if the universal wish for fair
weather should be granted the progress
of the queen promises to be one of the
most remarkable occasions in the his
tory of Ireland.
BY the exercise of tact, political con-
have been either kept entire
ly in the background or banished en-
tirely. The Telegram to-day says; "Po-
litical considerations must chill to-mor-
rows reception. The nationalists have
too much respect for the rights Of mi
norities to interfere with individual ex-
pressions of opinion. but anti-British
passion will never die out until the as
pirations Of Ireland are satisfied for the
wrong and fraud perpetrated century
ago."
John Redmonds Independence says
this morning: while deprecating any
of disrespect, it must be
known that those who do make a dem
onstration in honor of the queens visit |
are not in any way whatever Irish ma
tionalsts and do not represent Irish ma
tionalist sentiment" Coming from the |
organ of the leader of the national party
this is rather severe on the lord mayor |
IF Dublin. ....
