Troops and 5000 Men of the Ma
val Brigade and Presents Col
ors to Military School

Dublin, July H.-King Edward to-day re-
viewed 1900 troops and 5000 men Of the
Naval Brigade in Phoenix Park
The weather was most favorable, bright
sunshine permitting the wearing Of sum-
mer costumes and the consequent color ef-
feet When the ground was packed by tens
of thousands OF spectators it made by far
the most brilliant scene of the many wit
messed since their Majesties arrival In
Dublin.
1t was the largest muster Of troops ever
seen at review in Ireland. The Duke OF
Connaught was in command.
The King. who wore the uniform Of q
Field Marshal. was attended by the Lord
Lieutenant. the Earl Of Dudley. and a num-
erous suite.
Prior to leaving tho Vice Regal Lodge hts
Majesty, presented colors to the Royal HI
bernian Military School
1t was after midnight when the days
festivities closed. The King and Queen
held splendid court at the castle in the
gorgeously decorated and Illuminated for
tho occasion.
Their Majesties entered the hall at 1880
p. m. with all the Accomplishments Of state
and took their places near the throne.
which was the center Of brilliant group,
including the Duke and Duchess Of Con-
naught and Earl Dudley and other high
state officers in full uniform.
There they received the most representa-
tive body OF the Irish nobility and the Irish
people which had been seen at the Castle IN
many years.
The influence of tho sovereigns secured a
social union which English statesmen had
vainly sought to attain. The Irish Guards
acted as q guard of honor, and the grand
staircase was lined with Lancera It was
function of regal magnifcence, and 1t was
not until the last name on the list had been
read and the last GcbutanrA had ria
her curtsey that their Majesties quilted the
scene.

FIGHT ON TARIFF HAS BEGUN.
Leaflets Prepared Under Chamber
lain's Supervision.

London, July z.-The educational cam
paign on the tariff question which Colonial
Secretary Chamberlain has vigorously
launched by means of leaflets and circulars
issued under his supervision. though not
bearing his name. came in for serious crit
icism in the House Of Lords this afternoon
Earl Spencer. the Liberal leader in that
house. complained that Mr.. Chamberlain
was practically violating the Government
agreement, namely, that the fiscal discus
sion should be postponed until October. He
said the distribution of such literature
looked on its face as though the Govern
ment had taken up Mr.. Chamberlains views.
Earl Spencer added that if Mr.. Chamber
lain remained in the Cabinet 1t would be al
most impossible to dissociate his views
from the policy Of the Government as a
whole.
The Duke Of Devonshire. Lord President
Of the Council and Conservative leader in
the House. retorted that while he gathered
from the remarks that the Premier ought
to tell Mr.. Chamberlain to resign, he feared
this was a rather Illogical procedure, since.
though the Government had by no means
vet adopted the views of the Colonial
Secretary, the Governments investigation.
SO far as It had proceeded, had convinced
the Premier and his colleagues that Mr..
Chamberlain's impeachment of the fiscal
policy was we'll founded and that changes
ought to be effected.
