THE KING plsPLEAsED.
Because of Irish Agitation He VIII
Not Visit the Island.

london. March 13.-The official an
nouncement yesterday of the abandon
ment of the proposed visit of King Ed
ward and Queen Alexandria to Ireland
whereby the ministers assume respon-
sibility for the imperial boycott, causes
keen discussion, the general tone OF
which is distinctly adverse to the
action of the cabinet, which is inter-
preted as displaying petty spite ana
spleen. The suggestion sought TO pe
conveyed both by the announcement
itself and the comment of the ministe-
rial organs, that the decision arrived at
was directly due to an outburst OF some
Irish members in the house OF commons
when the news Of the disaster to Me-
thuen's column was officiall communi-
Gated to the house; and is declared by
the hostile critics to be obviously false.
as 1t was announced weeks ago that the
visit would be postponed. These critics
assert TIT there seems good reason to
believe their majesties themselves all
along desired to carry out the corona
ton visit and tho they have deferred 1t
on the advice Of ministers. they have no
intention of relieving the latter from
the onus Of the tactless move.
The Freeman's Journal voices the
nationalist views, saying the minis
ters have put the veto on the Intended
visit OF the sovereign to a portion of
his dominions. It would be difficult
for his majesty to reject the veto Of his
constitutional advisers: but it is plain
he insisted that responsibility should be
theirs, not his. His ministers could not
venture to allow the king to see with
his own eyes and hear with his own
ears barbarous methods of the castle
and the deep resentment of his people.
His presence here would have been a
sore encumbrance to the coronation
lists. There was imminent danger that
his visits might have converted him to
home rule or confirmed his existing
conviction. Therefore. the ministers in
their own interest and in the interest of
unionism have forbidden the visit"

THE BOSTON STRIKE.
Indications That the Trouble Will Be
Settled Soon.


Boston, March 13.-With the labor
leaders in secret conference with sec
retary Easley, of the Civic Federation,
and with prospect of general meet
ing of the representatives OF all the
leading business interests, at which
Easley will be heard after hearing the
workmens side of the case. Boston $
strike situation is more hopeful this
morning than it has been since the
trouble began last Monday. There are
81 900 men out and threats that hum
dreds will join the movement are freely
made.
While the general aspect of the strike
is much the same as it has been on pre-
vious days, there are some sllght
changes. Until late yesterday the
Brine Transportation Company, nom
union, was doing principally all the
teaning of the city, all other teamsters
having been tied up by the sympathetic
strike. During yesterday. hcwsNef,
some concerns found that in order to
save their contracts with large hrms
they must undertake to deliver goods or
give the business over to the Brine
Company This led two of the union
teamsters to start out with non-union
drivers. and today several others fol-
lowed this action. AS those at work
yesterday met with no trouble, it led
to hope that operations might be re-
sumed in limited degree, altho 1T was
felt the presence of non-u union men on
teams might cause disturbance in the
great army of strikers. The coal stu
alton improved considerably during
the night, several nrrns having taken
advantage of the empty streets and
darkness to convey coal to large con-
sllmerS
