KING AND QUEEN RECEIVE
Representative Body of Irish NobiI-
ity and People Present.

Dublin, July 23.-The King and Queen held
splendid court at the Castle tonight in the IA
St. Patrick's Hall. which was gorgeously
decorated and illuminated for the occasion
Their majesties entered the hall at 1880 p. n.
with all the accompa nirents of state, and took
their places near the throne which was the cen
ire of a brilliant group. including the Duke and
Duchess Of Connaught and Earl Dudley and
other high state officers in full uniform.
There they received the most representative
body Of the Irish nobility and the Irish people
which has been seen at the Castle in many
years. Queen Alexandra wore a cream colored
gown embroidered with gold. She wore vari-
colored jewels in the form Of shanrocks. and her
diamond ornaments were set in designs of rose.
thistle and shamrock The influence of the SOW
eregns secured social union which English
statesmen had vainly sought to attain. The Irish
Guards acted a guard of honor. and the
grand staircase was lined with Lancers. 1t was
a function Of regal magnifcence. and it was not
until the last the list had been read
out and the last debutante had made her cour-
tesy that their majesties quilted the scene. and
it was after midnight when the festivities came
TO an end.
The King to-day reviewed $4,000 troops and
5000 men of the Naval Brigade in Phoenix
Park The weather was most favorable. bright
sunshine permitting the wearing OF summer
costumes, and the consequent color effect. when
the ground was packed by tens Of thousands Of
spectators, made it by far the most brilliant
scene of the many witnessed since their maj
estes arrival in Dublin. 1t was the largest
ter Of troops ever seen at a review in Ireland.
The Duke of Connaught was in command.
The King who the uniform of a field
marshal was attended by the Lord Lieutenant,

GOVERNMENT TARIFF POLICY.
Attack on the Educational Campaign by
Earl Spencer.

London, July 23-The educational campaign
on the tariff question which Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain has vigorously launched by means
of leaflets and circulars issued under his super
vision though not bearing his name, came in for
serious criticism in the House Of Lords this
afternoon Earl Spencer, the Liberal leader in
that House. complained that Mr.. Chamberlain
was practically violating the government agree
ment. namely. that the fiscal discussion should
be postponed until October. He said the dis
trtoution OF such literature looked it's face as
though the government had taken UP Mr.. Cham
Earl Spencer added that If Mr.. Chamberlain
remained in the Cabinet it would be almost i'm
posslble TO dissociate his views from the policy
Of the government as whole: -.
The Duke of Devonshire. Lord President OF
the Council and Conservative leader in the
House of Lords, replying, maintained the strong
free trade position he had previously assumed
He admitted that Mr.. Chamberlain had had
knowledge of and had approved the leaflets. but
insisted that he was not directly responsible for
their issue He declared emphatically that no
member Of the government had said single
word to Identify himself with Mr.. Chamber
lains policy. o..
changed our opinions. and until we have time to
mike an inquiry we have no policy to propose
| am still free trader Why should free
traders be nervous? The whole foundation OF
1he free trade system will not collapse at the
blast of q single man. AS TO the demand for
designations, who should resign? suppose Mr.
Chanoberlain were compelled to resign, and
Should, after all, convert the Premier to his
views It would be very awkward Or ought
net OF our humble assistance in defence Of
free trade principles? That would be equally
absurd
Lord Rosebery, having reminded the Duke of
Devorshire OF the ambiguous speeches Of Pre-
rnier BaIfour the Earl of SelooTne, First Lord
of tbe Admiralty and the Marquis Of Lans-
downe The Secretary for Foreign Affairs, on the
subject. referred in bantering tones 10 the gov
ernment's curious position IN the matter The
subject was then dropped
