LONDON, July B.-The preparations
for the approac hing visit of King Edward
to Ireland are completed and there Is
every indication that an enthusiastic re-
ception will be accorded His Majesty
throughout his tour. In official circles.
the hope Is entertained that good political
and social results will follow the royal
visit. The Irish cities generally have
agreed to present addresses of welcome
to the King. The conservative press Of
the United Kingdom declares that the
action Of the Dublin corporation In re-
fusing to present His Majesty with an
address in no wise represents the general
sentiment of the city. while rebel Cork
has not only agreed upon an address. but
like many of the cities included in the
itinerary Is preparing for a welcome 10

whence they will proceed to Balls Bridge,

try into the city will be made.
The Victoria and Albert, according to
the present arrangements. will proceed
to the west coast Of Ireland, and the
King and his party will re-embark at
Bereheaven and sail for Queenstown.
The most extraordinary precautions
have been taken to safeguard King Ed

the attitude of the factions opposing
the recognition of the King as the ruler
Of Ireland, the national leaders having.

stated that the Irish people would not

OBEY MAYORS ORDER

Considerable indignation was expressed
last night by military men because of the
refusal Of Signor Felix Iardella to allow
his band to play during the dress pa
rade at the Reservoir.
Mayor Taylor was seen yesterday morn
Ing In regard to Iardella's Band furnishing
the music, and he replied that the latter
would be subject to the orders of Colonel
Anderson.
Yesterday afternoon when the hour ar
rived for the dress parade Major Saville
and Colonel Perry went around to where
the band was playing and the former
requested him to come around and render
the music for the parade.
The latter declined to do this and re-
peated his refusal when told that 1t
was by order of Mayor Taylor. He said
that his contract was with the city to
play two hours daily. which contract he
had to fulfill, and he could not recognize
an order from Mayor Taylor or Colonel
Anderson. This closed the incident and
