London. March 31.-The Life Guards
couriers. carriages, pots and pans and
other royal paraphernalia have ALREADY
yonA IN the Emerald Isle, which eagerly
waits for Queen Victoria to follow. How
her majesty will be received and the
r,rosnects Of her doings in Dublin, have
quite overshadowed all other topics even
In a week which has been marked Dy the
annual inter-varsity boat race, the reslg-
nation of the Duke of Norfolk as post
master general the announcement OF the
Delagoa Bay railroad award and the ru-
mors of possible war in the far east
Great Britain's own war in South Africa
has almost been forgotten, so unlnteres:-
ing 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 to
read daily. The queen is said to be in
excellent health and well able to bear
the strain of the trip to Ireland. She
commences her journey April and sleeps
on board the royal yacht Albert and VIC
toria. landing at Kingstown April A. In
anticipation of her majesty's progress
through the city, the streets Of Dublin
are already gay with flags and decora-
tons A curious feature Of the prepara-
tons at the vice regal lodge, where the
queen will stay, are the pots and pans
already referred to. Her majesty IS tre-
mendously particular about her kitchen
arrangements and those at the vice regal
lodge were found to be quite below the
royal standard. Consequently, no less
than 800 copper fricandeau pans, 81 sauce
pans, 80 copper stock pots and many
other varieties of cooking utensils have
been sent to Dublin especially for the
visit. The Eary Of Denbigh, who goes to
Ireland as chief of the royal encourage,
and Iord-in-waiting, holds three Irish IL
ties and was formerly aide-de-camp TO
the lord lieutenant.
However, though the queen is siad to
be full of excitement and enthusiastic in
regard to her approaching visit, she Is
not forgetful of South Africa A story
is going the rounds that the queen re-
marked that she was aware that many
people imagined her anxiety about the
war would cause her death. II may die,
added her majesty, ''but it will be from
some other cause. I DO not mean to let
