have been trying to obscure the issue
by claiming hardships to Ireland IN the
budget, the engendering of old age
pensions in case of home rule and dan

Liberal success, but these have been
unavaiing.
The decay of several fairs through

The investiture of Lord Arran as
Knight of st. Patrick by the king re-
calls in Ireland the crown jewel affair."
is nothing to show why the shadow of
the mysterious theft should rest on the
Order of st. Patrick, yet the last three
knights have been created without the
traditional calling together of chap
ter of knights in Ireland. Lord PIERRE
was privately admitted into the order
by Lord Aberdeen at the command of
the king. Lords Granard and Arran
have since been invested at Bucking-
ham palace by the king. Previous to
these three investitures, these ceremo-
malls had an important position
amongst the court functions of Dublin
castle. The king, when Prince of
Wales, went to Ireland to be installed
a knight of st. Patrick, with full court
ceremonial in st. Patrick's cathedral
No reason has been assigned for chang
ing the tradition of the order But the

is not generally believed to be a mys-

New York-By going straight to the
heart of the Cook polar episode, Maui
rice Egan, American minister at Den
mark, saved an embarrassing situation
at the dinner of the Danish-American
association.
Owing to the prominent part Minis
ter Egan had played in the reception
of Dr. Cook at Copenhagen, all the
speakers had avoided the subject and
there was a general sigh of relief when
Mr.. Egan's allusion had passed in
safety.
There is only one feeling in this
country about this unfortunate affair"
began Mr.. Egan, land that is respect
for the generosity of the Danes in re-
ceiving an American citizen who as
serted that he had done a great thing,
and for their courage in being the first
to acknowledge their mistake.
ut was natural enough that his being
an American should be sufficient guar

make"
