He'll Kiss No More,

New York Mail and Express.)
Another blow has been struck at
Ireland by the hated Sassenach. The
most cherished perogative of the lord
lieutenant of Ireland has been abol-
ished. Heretofore it has been his
duty and privilege to kiss publicly
every woman when first she was pre-
sented at Dublin drawing room.
He did this twice year, usually hav-
ing to salute with his lips several hun
dred women on each occasion. He
kissed them smack on the lips, too
Now, however, an edict has gone
forth there shall be no more kiss
ing in public in Dublin castle, When
the young. poetic widower, Lord
Houghton, was lord lieutenant of Ire
land the girls used to flock to the vice
regal court, and his kissing created
a sensation for the artistic and ferYid
manner in which it was performed
The presnt lord lieutenant is getting
along in years-though by no means
an old man-and perhaps he will re-
linquish this perquisite of his vice
regal duties without protest. But
what about the young Irish beauties
who are about to be presented? VIII
they submit tamely to this outrage
on the part of the conservative gov
ernmnt?

HITcHcocKs CASE
is A PECULIAR ONE.

CHICAGO, April ga Washing
ton special says: President Roose-
welt has troubles near at home Just
now, it is said by members of the cab
met who have talked privately with
him, he is hunting with considerable
anxiety for a new secretary of the
interior. Secretary Hitchcock's days
are numbered, and the number there
of depends either on his own alacrity
in Offering his resignation or the presi-
dents ability to find the right man for
his successor. 1t is said the presi-
dent is now looking to the Pacific
coast for his new secretary of the in
terror.
Mr.. Hitchcock's case is peculiar
one. He is esteemed very highly by
the president and by all his associates
as gentleman and friend. but he is
unfortunate in his administration of
the office which he holds. He is so
cautious and suspicious that he can
not accomplish anything. He is
constantly afraid some one is putting
up a job on him, and the result is
that public business languishes for
lack oil strong character TO remove the
obstacles. fancied or real, and go
ahead.
The president is very reluctant to
ask for the resignation of Mr. Hitch
cock but members of the cabinet say
he will do so very soon unless that
gentleman soon takes the hint and
resigns. Already enough hints have
been given Mr.. Hitchcock to lead tc
the prompt resignation of any or
dinary man. but Mr.. Hitchcock is sc
constituted that he cannot see what
everyone else has seen for long time
He thinks the gossip about his re
moval is the work of his enemies, ant
that the president will stand by hin
to the end. He will soon experience
rude awakening.

MEAT TRUST.

ST. LOUIS. April 26.-Zack Mul-

system. says there is no meat trust,
that competition among packers for
live stock costs high prices, Cattle
are scarce. he says, and expensive to
feed. The shortage amounts to one
hundred and fifty thousand for the
year. Mulhall maintains the packers
who usually have eight to ten thous-
and cattle hanging in their refriger-
ating rooms, are now entirely cleaned
out, and that packing house buyers
scramble for offerings and pay higher
prices to get them. He predicts that
beef will go still higher-till grass fed
cattle begin coming in in June.

bate rule and vote without amend

Senator Patterson is making an ac-
tive fight for a depot in this city to

terson will likely be successful in
gaining the same privilege for the
Chesapeake road.

Lord Cadogan has steeled middle
course. He has not proclaimed the
league, but he has resorted to almost
all the other powers conferred upon
him by the act of 1887, the eighty
seventh coercion act since the union
and the only permanent one.
Mr.. Bryce referred in the commons
Thursday night to the fact that from
1895 to 1900, when Gerald Balfour
was chief secretary, the act was never
once employed.
The explanation is very simple. 1t
certainly does not lie in the person
ality of the Irish government, Lord
Cadogan has been viceroy all along.
Gerald Balfour had much less sym
pathy with Ireland than George
Wyndham has, but during the five
years specified by Mr.. Bryce the
Irish nationalities were quarreling
among themselves and Ireland could
have been governed by child.
Unless history at once refrains from
repeating itself, the cabinet will be

shall be back again to situation of

inilict great misery, and that the

London, April 26.-The statements agers of the Atlantic shipping com bine vary with each edition of al most every newspaper here, and most of them entirely lack even the sem blance of authenticity; but they serve to enhance the general scare which is fully voiced by the startling newspapers posters and headlines.
 Shipping circles express satisfac- fion with the announcement of Mir Arnold-Forster. the secretary of the admiralty, in the house of commons. Thursday, of the appointment of q committee to inquire into the whole subject, as affecting the admiralty. Much is made of the fact that In man line steamers City of Paris (now the American line steamer Philadel phia) and the City of New York (now the American line steamer New York;, after receiving G26,990 ($134,- 350i in subsidies, were transferred to the American flag, ana it is contended that there is nothing to prevent 8 repetition of such action.
 The Westminster Gazette, however solaces itself with the thought that if the law by which only American- built ships are entitled to fly the American flag is repealed, the British as ship builders, stand to gain what they will lose as ship owners.
