THE QUEENS JOURNEY.
Scotland Yard Detectives Put On
Their Mettle.

LONDON, March 31.-Scotland Yard
is very uneasy in regard to the Queens
visit to Ireland. A leading official said
today: The last month has been a
hot one for Scotland Yard. Ever since
We knew the Queen intended to visit
night and day in making preparations.
Over a hundred of our detectives have
been in Dublin during the past week
searching out marked men who will be
shadowed until the Queen returns to
England.
Here in London Chief Inspector
Melville, with select body, has been
putting his hand on dangerous Fenians.
He knows every one of them. The
guard which will be set around the
Queen during her stay in Ireland will
be the largest in the memory OF Scot
land Yard. On the outer ring. by which
| mean the streets, there will be be
tween nine and ten thousand police
men, including 1,500 plain-clothes
men,"
When the Queen drives from King
ston to- Dublin, policemen will be sta
toned on each side of the route every
twenty yards. The inner circle will be
guarded by plain-clothes men to the
number of nearly 1000. Superinten-
dent Fraser, who accompanies the
Queen everywhere has the disposition
of these men. He will be assisted by
Inspector Newt. Most OF the men will
be stationed in the vicinity of the Vice
regal lodge"
Knowing these elaborate arrange
ments, there is considerable uneasiness
in Scotland Yard regarding the Queens
safety and there will be a sigh of relief
IL the Queen returns to England with
out anything untoward happening.
The Life Guards, couriers, carriages.
pots and pans and other royal paraph-
ernalia have already gone TO the Emer-
aid isle. The Queen is said TO be in ex-
cellent health and well able to bear the
strain of the trip. She commences her
journey on April and sleeps on board
the royal yacht Victoria and Albert,
landing at Kingston April 4th. In an
ticipation of her Majesty's progress
through the city the streets of Dublin
are already gay with flags and deco
rations.
curious feature OF the prepa atoms
at the viceregal lodge. where the Queen
will stay, is the pOis and pans al e.
referred to. Her Majesty r. t-empnd-
ously particular about her Kitchen ar
rangements. and those at the viceregal
lodge were found to be quite below the
royal standard. Consequently no less
than 300 copper fricandeau pans.
eighty-four saucepans, fifty copper
stock pots and many other varieties Of
cooking utensils have been sent to
Dublin especially for the visit.

aster, worse even than the one which
overwhelmed General Gatacre. The
cry was always for more men, more
men, until the hill was SO overcrowd-
ed that every bullet and every shell
produced destruction. At no TIM
should more than 200 men, at the out
side have been allowed on the, exposed
ground on top of the hill. Probably
smaller number would have sufIiced.
The remainder should have been kept
well hidden behind the slope. A great

by the most ignorant private in the
army, but throughout this war we have
never realized that men cannot be

Guthrie, Ok, March 27.-The first

ing mutual hail and storm insurance
companies was begun in Noble county

things, would make necessary a men,

cause of its unWillingneSS to meet these
requirements. The company is subject
to fine of $500 for each and every Of

to jail for six months.

pany has its offices in the Columbian
