EARL CADOGAN SPEAKS.
Discusses the Abandonment of King
Edwards Visit to Ireland

DUBLIN, March lin an address de-
livered at a public meeting here Earl Cado-
gan, lord lieutenant of Ireland made a
rather enigmatic reference TO King Ed
wards abandoned visit to Ireland After
declaring that nobody was more disap-
pointed in this matter than the King him
self with whom the idea of this visit had
originated. and after expressing his own
convictions that his Majesty would have
been most enthusiastically welcome,; here.
Earl Cadogan said he shared the frV re-
sponsibility with the other ministers for
advising the King that the present was
not appropriate occasion for visit and
that this advice was given after the fullest
consideration. The speaker said he re-
Trained from characterizing the difficulties
which had rendered the abandoned visit
inoppOrtune, but that they were well
known and deplored by a vast majority of
the Irish people. Earl Cadogan said he
was quite sure these difficulties were only
of a temporary character and that before
long his Majesty would be able 10 carry
out his wish, which was very near his
heart and the realization of which would
be productive OF the greatest possible adj
vantage TO Ireland.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 1.-Corre-

In 1859 all the government institutions there

An eyewitness thus relates his expert
ences on the first day of the disaster:
There were two distinct shocks, at S a. m
and IL a. m, respectively, but the people,
accustomed to rumblings of the earth, paid
no heed Instead of fleeing for their lives,

ceded to their obligatory daily additions

People were thrown headlong in the streets
and when they arose were thrown down
again. AsphyXiating vapors eXuded from
the assures in the earth and filled the air.
The scenes that followed will never be ade-
quately described. Men abandoned their
families There was a chaos of fearful
cries. The telegraph Office went down with
the city. Hence the delay in transmitting
the news The rescue work was heart
rending. Forty or more persons were dis
inferred alive. Mothers were found dead
with live infants in their arms

daughter still alive beneath mass of de-

STRIKES IN ITALY.
Great Social Movement to Secure Bet
ter Conditions of Life.

ROME. March 14-Replying TO criticisms
during the debate in the Chamber of Depu-
ties to-day on the policy of the govern
ment Signor Giolitti, the minister of the
Interior made a speech in which he in
sisted that many of the recent strikes were
part of a great social movement of all
classes of the proletariat to secure better
conditions Of life. This was a justifiable
aspiration, said the speaker, and since the
demands were not political the movement
could only become dangerous if the govern
ment tried to suppress il by force. The
duty of the government was to be i'm
partial and to respect the right of strike
propagandism so long there was no in
element to violence. Until compulsory ar
bitration became legalized continued Signor
Gioltti, the government should intervene
on the appeal of both sides to a contro-
Versy to effect a pacific settlement. The
government should certainly intervene in
the case Of a strike in the public service
or of the bakers, as such strikes led to
anarchy. On this ground the minister of
the interior justified the attitude of the
government in the recent railway strike
and its endeavor to secure satisfaction for
the legitimate aspirations of the railway
employees, many of whom were underpaid.
A great result would be achieved, con-
Guided Sgnor Giolitti, when the proletariat
ceased to regard the government as its
enemy Many members of the Chamber of
Deputies congratulated the minister of the
interior upon his telling speech.

things as ghosts exist2 l am perfectly
certain that they do. This does not mean
that L feel that l am ready to explain
their origin or nature. L simply recognize
the fact Whether they are purely sub

objective reality-this is question to be
settled in each particular case. / have
many instances in my notes: but they
must be omitted for the present.
There is one case, however, which is Of
a very extraordinary kind. IL occurred
about a couple of years ago here in the
Immediate vicinity of New York. There
was a certain young man who had been
studying abroad. He had been at Heidel-
berg University. He was of anything but
an imaginative temperament. Tall and
stalwart in build. he had a reputation as an
athlete. His favorite studies were mathe-
NAUTICAL, physical and electrical He had
returned home from abroad, and. so far
as anybody knew, was in perfect health.
He was at the summer nome of his moth
er. 1t was his habit after dinner TO go
out on the piazza and walk up and down
while smoking his pipe. One evening he
came quietly in, and without talking 10
anybody. went up to bed. The next morn
ing he went into his mothers room before
she was up, and laid his hand on her cheek
in order TO awaken her quietly. And then
he said: Mother, l have something very
sad 10 tell you. You must brace yourself
and be strong TO bear it,. OF course she
was startled and asked him what he WIS
taking ABOUT lie SAID. Mother. i mean
just what / am saying. l am going TO die,
and very soOn.
When mis- mother. startled and troubled
pressed him for an explanation. he said:
Last night, when l walking up and

and walked up and down by my side I
have received my call and am going 10 die -
The mother, of course. was seriously trou-
bled and wondered whether anything might
be the matter with him. She therefore sent
for the doctor and told him the story The
doctor made a careful eXaminat ton, said

whole thing as a bad dream or a hal

TO IL and said that within a few days they
would be laughing at themselves for let

morning the young man did not seem quite
as we'll as usual. and the doctor was sent
for second time. Again he said there
was nothing the matter and tried 10 laugh
them out of their fears. The third morning
the young man appeared I'm still poorer

a case of appendicitis. The young man
was operated on and died In a couple OF

Lord Wolseley will start for Cape Town
tomorrow. Although the officials deny

situation. 1t is pointed out that Lord
wolseley's knowledge of South Africa

might be highly useful to Lord Kitchener
either at the base Cape TOWN. or at Pre-

trip is entirely private. Col Frank

passengers on the steamer which will take
Lord Wolseley to Cape Town.
Lord Wolseley, while commander-in-
chief of the army, was bitterly assailed.
Criticism of the conduct of the and
naval officers continues. In an address
before the London Chamber OF Commerce
on the lack of administrative efficiency in
the British organization for defense Rear
Admiral Lord Charles Beresford remarked
that initial naval reverses similar to the
military reverses experienced in South
Africa would entail disasters which would
be irreparable and which would be eternal

Capture of Lord Methuen.
New York Tribune


There Is another grave in the South Az
rican graveyard OF military regulations,
and the monument above IL bears the dis
tinguished name of Methuen. Only the
other day Lord Methuen was spoken Of as
the one conspicuous British officer who had
remained I'm South Africa since the early
part of the war. Butler, Warren and others
had disappeared from the scene. But Me-
thuen, with his variegated career behind
him, was still at the front and was doing
much to atone for the great plumbers Of
which he was guilty before Lord Roberts
appeared upon the scene. Now Methuen
disappears as a Boer prisoner in a British
disaster. which. If not the greatest I'm num-
bers and effect, will probably prove the
most exasperating OF all in this tedious
war. In some respects il is a pity. Lord
Methuen comes Of family distinguished
in many generations for it's ability I'm war
and peace He had for years a fine record
as a commander and administrator. His
first work in this war was brilliant. He
met with disastrous eclipse at Magersfon-
TEN, and there were those who thought hfS
mind had given way. This was denied, and
the denial was strengthened by the COM
petence he has since shown in various bits
of work But, beyond the disaster which
resulted in his capture, his reputation as q
successful soldier cannot endure.

NORFOLK, Va, March H.-Strike sym
pathizers in the suburbs continue TO stone
cars at every opportunity. E. L. Allen and

were arrested last night, charged with

have employed counsel.
The trolley wire on CRANKY street, one of

the trouble. The track was creased in
several places tonight and cars stopped.
The cutting of wires caused cars to be sent
