London RarmaIds to Go.

From the London Mail.
 There is every indication that the ques- ton of the employment of barmaids Is about to come to the front in London not, of course, with the same thorough ness as it did, for instance, in Glasgow, but at any rate with sufficient assur- ance that the first real step forward has been taken in a big movement. The au- thorities concerned in London with the employment of barmaids are the licens- ing magistrates, who control licensed premises, and the theatres and music halls committee of the London County council.
 The former body has been memoralized against the employment of barmaids by the National Union of Women Workers. The latter has been similarly approached by the British Women's Temperance association. The Theatres and Music Halls committee, which has Jurisdiction over the various places of public enter tainment in London, the other day dis cussed the memorial and displayed a markedly sympathetic attitude toward toward the proposed abolition of bar maids. ''We shall not act precipitately," said a prominent member of the council afterward. ''We shall try to avoid the mistakes made In Glasgow, where a sim liar scheme was adopted I exepct that an intimation will at first be issued to theatrical and music hall proprietors stating that we consider the abolition of barmaids desirable; then, we shall, no

Galway Ireland, July 3o--King Edward and Queen Alexandra continued by motor today their inspection of some of the wild est and most picturesque regions of Ire land The start was made at o'clock from the little town of Leetane. on the shore of Killarny bay, where the mayor, the local rector, the parish priest and a deputation representing twenty thousand inhabitants of the wild Connemara noun tains presented an address The king, in replying, said he had already inspected some of the cottage industries, and he wished to assure the inhabitants that he was equally pleased with the spirit of in- dustrial activity and the warm, hearty welcome of the people, which he and the queen both would long remember.
 The hearty tone of his majesty's speech was received with every evidence Of ap- preciation.
 The royal party drove off in motors through the beautiful lake and mountain country everywhere greeted Loyalty by the inhabitants many of whom Journeyed leagues across the mountains to catch a glimpse of them.
 The motor journey ended at Recess, where the party had luncheon. The town was decorated and the hotel was sur rounded by guard of honor of "Conne- mara cavalry" peasants from the sur rounding country astride of saddleless mountain ponies and wearing Jerry" hats decorated with tri-color ribbons and green rosettes.
 Their majesties took train for Galway and arrived here late in the afternoon. They met with an enthusiastic reception.

EDWARD AND HIS QUEEN
 RECEIVED AT GALWAY

At Recess where their maJesties stop ped for luncheon, poor old woman ap- preached the queen with petition for the remission Of the remainder Of a sentence of six months passed on her husband. In- quiries proved that the mans character justified clemeney, and the queen, with the kings permission, remitted the sem tence on the spot. The surrounding crowd. learning what had occurred cheered wildly.
 For visiting the famous Connemara marble quarries near Recess, the local authorities provided a dilapidated landau with two jaded horses and "jarvey" of the usual class. It was doubted whether their majesties would enter such an equipment, but to the delight of the crowd of peasants and barefooted women with red petticoats who lines the steep, muddy hill, the king smiling at the singularity of the vehicle entered it without hesita- ton, the queen, the princess ana the Earl of Dudley following him. The 'jarvey" was somewhat nervous and the king asked a number of his suit to mount the box beside him. In a similar vehicle were Lady Dudley and other women of the queens suite. An escort of Connemara cavalry completed the procession. Prog resS was SLOW on account or mudi put going up hill there were always a dozen peasants who sprang to the back of the landau to help push, the queen smiling encouragement.
 At the dnarries sementoes were pre- sented to their majesties, and returning down the hill the progress of the equip age was checked by two ropes attached to the axle to which a score of men were holding

HEATING RECEIVED
 BY CLAN MA GAEL
Former President of the Hiber-
 nians Arrives from Ireland
RECENT SPEECH DEFENDED
IrIshmen of This Country Draw Up Resolutions of Regard for MT. Keat- ing and Commenting Ills Ut
 terances at Eodenstown.

New York, July 30.--John L. Heating of Chicago, former national president of the Ancient Order of Hibernians. was given a reception by the Clan Ma Gael tonight at Cooper Union. MT. Heating, who ar rived from Ireland today on the White Star ship Teutonic, delivered the address at the annual pilgrimage to the grave of the leader of the United Irishmen, Theoba1d Wolf Tone, at Bodenstown, Ire- land, on June 21 upon the invitation of the nationa1ists of Ireland. and was at- tackled for the speech by the organs of the parliamentary party, which declared that MT. Heating did not speak as the representative of any one in America.
 Tonight's meeting was intended as an answer to that charge which was form ally denied by the adoption of resolu- tions that contained also a declaration of policy for the organized nationalists of the United States.
 The resolutions were in part as follows:
 We, the Clan Ma Gael, representing the organized nationa'ists of the United States tender this reception and welcome to our friend and comrade John L. heatlng on his return from the old land, in recognition of his long and faithful services to the Irish cause, and especial ly for his defense of that cause on June 2l last at the grave of Wolfe Tone, in Bodenstown. We declare that he there spoke for us, and our brethren through out the world and we assure our coun- trymen at home that the few men who attacked him for this utterances repre- sent no organized force or large body of opinion in the United States.
 Ireland's true interests will be best served by steady, resolute and progress sive policy of organization among her own people, the world over and the cul- tivation of alliances with England's ene- mics, with view to the eventual re- construction and re-establishment of an Irish nation-the founding of an Irish re- public-on the ruins of the British em- pire, and to that policy we pledge our hearty and continuous support

Existence of Bands Is Now Doubted By Government Authortles-Dem- onstratlons Are Believed

 Mayor Victoria wired from De Las Tunas this afternoon that diligent in- quiries in the surrounding villages disclos- ed no signs of revo1utionists. The mayor says the existence of the bands is now doubted. Senor Zero, secretary of the in- terior, and other government officers now are inclined to believe that the Santiago authorities were mislead by persistent rumors. senor Rodriguez. commander7in- chief of the rural guard, who is still in Havana, says he believes the stories orig mated through the confusion of reports of minor peaceful demonstrations with those concerning the four bandits who were recently killed. as #s. ;
 Mounted rural guards to the number of 300 and many volunteers are now en- gagged in a search for the revolutionists in the provinces of Santiago and Puerto Principe. There are ample arms and am intuition at Santiago, and at Puerto Principe for the arming of villagers in the event such a step should be neces- sary.
 Late tonight Colonel Reiza a revolution ary veteran. in whom the government has great confidence, wired from san tiago province that the region was com pletely tranquilized, and that there was no reason for alarm. The government is satisfied that the incident is closed.

Major General Young, the other member of the board, was not in town. Admiral Dewey was elected president and Commander Bar nett secretary. There was a general dis cussion of the subject of coaling and naval stations in Cuba with view to determining whether they should be gar risoned by the army or by marines. sec- retary Root already has taken steps to
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-07-31

place troops at Guantanamo and Bahia Honda, and some of the naval officers are not well pleased at his action.
 Secretary Root by invitation briefly ad- dressed the board. saying that he believed good results would come from It's delib- erations on questions affecting both branches of war forces, and that joint board was better than routine official communications. He believed the ques- tions to be brought before the board and considered in time of peace would result in a better understanding, and more ef- fective cooperation and defense of the country in time of war.
 The board adjourned subject to the call of the chairman and probably will not re- assemble until autumn.
