QUEEN VICTORIA
 IS NOW EN ROUTE Royal Train Lett for Ireland at
 Nine O'clock. GREAT PRECAUTIONS TAKEN The Trip Will be Slow, Requiring Eleven Hours Instead of Six, the :, Time Usually Required
 for the Journey
GREAT PRECAUTIONS TAKEN

London, April 3.-Queen Victoria left Windsor at 9;SO o'clock last evening en route for Ireland. Her Majesty is accom- panied by Princess Christiana and Prince Henry Of Battenberg, and is attended by the Countess of Antrim, Hon. Harriet Phipps, Sir Arthur Biggs, private secre- tary to the queen Sir Fleetwood Edwards. keeper of Her Majesty's privy purse, and Captain Ponsonby.
 The queen had driven out to Frogmore dullng4 the afternoon amid considerable enthusiasm from crowds of people, and her departure from the station was compara- lively quiet, although quite a crowd had assembled to cheer the outgoing train.
 Not in the history of the Great Western and London and Northwestern Railroad have grea'ter precautions ever been ob- served to protect the royal train than those when had been perfected when Her Maj esty started nortGfward tonight. The off, clals Who have super.ntended the transpor- taGon of the czars kaiser's and the princes of all nations out of Windsor have eAerted themselves beyond precedent to insure the safety of the royal train be- tween Windsor and Holyhead
 1- NAs'Ai4S SciuoIil run dt ul.Sf1l, Dut the queen, who is especially adverse to fast raVei, stipulated that the trip should oc- eupy eleven hours, although fl is usually covered in six. This slowness at a time When traffic is llshtest was one of the req sons Tor deciding upon a night run.
 Ihe preparations for the trip had been in naho TOT weeks and the train had already run every foot of the route and every par tlcle Of the apparatus of the train and the track had been subjected to the most care ful inspection.
 Leaving Windsor the royal train was in the hands of the Great Western company's oInc.als to Bushberry, where the London ana northwestern companys officials re- sumeo responsibility al midnight, when the Journey by way of Crewe and Chester to Holyhead began. The officials of the latter Uine Will have littte sleep tonight. Station masters, operators and track inspectors at stations along the route, no matter how small, are imperatively required to be on duty half an hour before the royal train signals and to see that all was in proper working order.
 The pilot engine nan ( Prince of Wales'' ran a quarter of an hour ahead of the royal train, and after its passage all tracks were clear
 The royal train was drawn by two loco moties with expert engineers, and a com plete. staff of railroad experts and eqectri- clans -acc6mpaned the train for action in case anything should go wrong

The mild and immediate effect of Dr. Kilmers Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy, is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. Swamp Root will set your whole system right, and the best proof of this is a trial.
 Weak and unhealthy kidneys are respon- s!ble for more sickness and suffering than any other disease, and If permitted 10 con- tinue fatal results are sure to follow. Kid ney trouble irritates the nerves, makes you dizzy, restless, sleepless and irritable. Makes you pass water often dur ing the day and obliges you to get up many times during the night. Causes puffy or dark circles under the eyes, rheumatism, gravel, ca- tarrh of the bladder, pain or dull ache in the back, joints and muscles makes your head ache and back ache, causes indiges- ton, stomach and liver trouble You get a sallow, yellow complexion; makes you feed as though you had heart trouble; you may have plenty of ambition, but no strength; get weak and waste away.

STRIKE AT BESSEMER
Trouble Arose Over the Company Dis
 charging Boy

Bessemer, April 2-(SpeciaL)-A strike in- volving some sixty or seventy men took place at the Bessemer Soil Pipe companys plant today. It came from discharging a boy who was doing a mans work. The men took exception to the discharge and demanded his reinstatement. It is thought the strike will not amount to much nor last long.
 Ut comes from reasonably authentic source that the big pipe works, the United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry com- pany will soon inaugurate the bi-weekly pay day, and do away with their commits sary They are now selling off their stock of goods at cost and the checks of the com pany have suddenly jumped up in value from 80 to 90 cents.
 The large addition to the Bessemer Soil Pipe company's plant is now roofed In and Is being rapidly pushed to completion. This will be the signal for the employment of a large increase to their present force.
 The Central pipe foundry have let con- tracts for additional buildings amounting to about $15,OO0. The completion of these and the other improvements in progress will make 1t the best and largest plant of the kind in the country

OCEAN RAC|NG'S danger
THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE
DEUTSCHLAND.
Speeding of Ocean Greyhounds to the
Utmost Limit Makes Travel Much
More Perilous.

Enthusiasm over the remarkable per-
Torrance of the steamship Deutschland
in lowering the Sandy ook-Plymounth
run to five days seven hours and thirty
eight minutes, and beating her fastest
rival in an unprecedented race, must
be tempered by reflection upon the dan
gers involved in this speeding of great
liners for record.
The perils of ocean travel are as
suredly grave enough under ordinary
circumstances without adding to them
the possibility of a collapse in mid
sea by one of these enormous machines
strained to the limit to clip minutes
from the running time. For when the
"greyhounds" are being forced on such
runs they take all chances, slowing
their engines only in extreme emergen-
cies. Fog holds them back little If any.
The peril of collision is thus greatly in
creased. The smaller craft of the sea
are at the mercy of the leviathans, in
different to all but the log and the
clock. These dangers are undoubtedly
exaggerated when the flyers are raced,
as in the case of the Deutschland and
the Kaiser, which left port so close to-
gether that they were practically as
horses upon track
It is denied, of course, that the ships
were speeded in competition, but to no
effect in reinsurance of the public. The
rivalry between Lne OWNING companies
is keen, and further competitive runs,
both in race and against records, are
to be looked for Indeed, so sharp is the
competition between the German lines
that it would not be surprising soon to
find the ocean time brought within the
five day limit.
1t is already believed that under nor
NAL conditions the Deutschland could
make the run from New York to
Queenstown, which it not her port,
within five days. 1t is doubtless beyond
hope that the dangerous practice can
be stopped. 1t has continued ever since
men have followed the sea. From the
galleys of the ancients to the Deutsch-
| land the waters have witnessed contests
and presumably until the end of time
will the process continue. And there
will always be passengers for the swift
est steamers eager for direct partici-
patton in the record-making achieve
ments of the worlds great machines,
regardless of the perils involved
