LONDON, March A.-Carnarvon Castle,
where the first Prince of Wales was born
in 1854. is now undergoing extensive al
terations and repairs in view OF the In
vestiture OF the Prince OF Wales there
In July next.
For some weeks officials Of the ofiico Of
works. which has control OF the castle.
have been In Carnarvon making surveys,
and Sir Schomberg Mcdonnell. secretary
Of the Office OF works. recently met Mr..
Lloyd George-who Is the constable of the
castle-in Carnaryon to discuss the nso-
essary preparations for the ceremony.
As result OF these preliminaries .
large number OF workmen are engaged
in the castle repairing. excavating and
demolishing. The portions that are being
demolished are modern and are not in
keeping with the ancient character Of
the building. which was erected by Ed
ward 1. The most important work OF
the demolition has been ut Queen Flea
nor's gate, where q great deal OF modern
masonry has been removed. exposing part
of the structure which supported the
drawbridge. which was In use when the
castle was occurred. The young prince
will stand at this gateway and show
himself to the multitude gathered below.
Big Crowd to Attend.
The ceremony of the investiture VIII
take place in the center OF the castle OPP
posite the main entrance. and q great
stage will be erected in tiers to accom-
modate about $4,000 people. A promi-
nent place Will be allotted to choir OF
500. who will give a program OF English
and Welsh music. A suite Of rooms will
be reserved in the castle for the royal
party. and will be lighted by electricity.
Paths and passages are being concerted,
and the old WORKOUT steps leading to the
main entrance will be replaced by new
ones, while the ivy, which has done much
injury, will be removed from the towers.
1t Is probable that some old houses
which were built under the shadow Of the
great Eagle tower. where the first Prince
Of Wales Is reputed to have been born,
and which obstruct one of the best views
Of the castle, will be acquired and denol-
ished. The whole expense OF the altera-
tons is being borne by the Office OF
works. This is estimated at between
$4,000 and $4,000
The date Of the inyestiture has not
yet been fixed. The king and queen are
anxious to fit In this ceremony with their
engagements to visit Scotland and Ire
land. and until the most convenient
method of doing this has been determined
the exact date cannot be arranged.

| A CHASTITY story Of the fate Of we'd

The exceptionally severe weather has
been the cause Of many minor TRACE

a part, but perhaps none has ever been
known so terrible as that now report

than 118 persons are said to have per-

A wedding party numbering 40 per-
sons set out in thirty sledges to drive
twenty miles from the village OF OBJ
stipoff to Tashkend. The ground was
thickly covered with snow, and prog
ress necessarily was delayed. but the
greater part Of the journey was ac-
complished in safety. At a distance
of a few miles from Tashkend the
horses suddenly became FESTIVE. and
the speculation of the travellers
changed to horror when they discerned
black cloud moving rapidly toward
them across the snow field. It's nearer
approach showed 1T to be composed
of hundreds of wolves. yelping furt-

BERLIN. March 24.-When the chancel-
lor. Bethmann Helweg. some time ago de-
cided that the German crown prince, and
not the kaiser. was to attend the great
festivities at Rome in honor of the If
tieth anniversary of Italian unity, he
thought he had solved a very hard prob
lem in a way which would please every
body and hurt nobody's feelings. but the
people of three countries are now busy
informing him that just the opposite is
the case.
In Germany itself the liberal and radi-
cal press plainly assert that the chan
cellor could not possibly have committed a
greater stupidity. If he wanted to lose the
respect Of all parties. than by announcing
the Official visit Of the German crown
prince and crown princess to Rome to
congratulate the King and Queen of Italy.
The chancellor's decision is half-hearted
compromise, the act Of political coward.
the papers say, who dares do things only
by halves. Surely enough, the Ger
mania and other Catholic papers In Ger
many are delighted that the kaiser will
not lend splendor to festival that cele-
brates the downfall of the Pope's worldly
power but the kaiser, who had wanted to
go, is angry.
People Are Furious.
The easily excited people of Italy. who
see in the chancellor's act an insult to
their nation. are also furious. and the i'll
feeling against the sly "tedescoes' may
not be without effect on the triple al
lance, especially as the Italians are much
more attracted toward France and the
very festival they are about to celebrate
will bring back to memory in the most
vivid way the important part taken by
the people Of France in setting Italy
free and the poor way in which Italy
has shown her gratitude, being now &C.
tually allied with her own arch enemy.
Austria, and Germany. which crushed
France only a little more than decade
after the time when Italians and French
fought shoulder to shoulder.
In Vienna, too. the chancellor's decision

feeling of uneasiness. 1t is feared In
Austria that the relations between Italy
on the one side and Germany on the

Increases Anxiety.

The decision Of the German chancellor
just at this conjuncture increases the
anxiety of those who look upon Italy's
presence in the triple alliance as a ne
cessity, and from whom the utterance of
the pregnant words Italy must be either
Austria's ally or her enemy originates.
At the present moment these difficulties.
which have not yet found actual express
sion. are increased by the question, now
become of immediate Importance, OF
whether the austrian court will abstain
from visiting Italy this year. and, out of
respect for the Pope, refrain from send
ing any member of the imperial family
to Rome. The Archduke Franz Ferdi-
nand is reported to have declared that,
although he will not go to Rome, he in
tends to travel to the Turin exhibition.
and to proceed from there to visit the
King and Queen Of Italy at Racconigi.
No confirmation of this statement has
yet been received. Should it be contra
dicted. it is certain that it will increase
the i'll humor already existing among
the Italian people toward Austria

Charge on Taxpayer.

with the knowledge that 1t is certain to
become a cumulative annual charge upon
his income. II the promises of pros
porous Ireland in the dim and distant
future are realized his posterity may be
relieved Of the burden. The most he can
hope for is that the bankrupt which he
has financed may pay for his own main
tenance and become too prosperous to
need assistance any longer. There never
can be a question of paying back the
creditors.
Every home rule schedule that has yet
been put forward has been formulated on
the assumption that Ireland would pay a
certain sum toward imperial expenditure.
Now. for the first time. the situation Is
wholly reversed. and the imperial funds
are to contribute to Ireland. after Ireland
has been given charge Of its own re-
sources. Ireland claims all the benefits of
imperial protection and all the advan-
tages Of imperial expenditure, but will
pay nothing for these favors.
Moreover. the British taxpayer is to
sign q check for more than a couple of
mill ems annually In order to keep Ire
land out Of bankruptcy. Sir Antony Mac
donald said recently that England would
require. to make a grant to Ireland under
a scheme OF home rule. which he advo-
Gated. Ell 100000 annually for twenty
years. But Sir Antony's mild scheme has
been repudiated by the nationalists and

ish money along with 1t. Mr.. Bifrell will

Misgivings Of the Press.

A portion OF the press gives loud utter
ance to it's misgivines with regard to Ger
many's and Austria's intention to ignore
the Italian festivities. The Zeit writes in
leader that the triple alliance has az ain
sustained breach that will not be easily
mended. The Montagszeitung, whose i'm
portant political position Is well known,
says 1t Is much to be regretted that
Kaiser Wilhelm should retreat before the
Pope and prOphesieS serious consequences.

not be considered for the present, but COM

Fall Of BRAND in France.
The effects of the fall of the BRAND
cabinet in France three weeks ago are
still being felt in practically all the i'm
portant continental capitals The Ger
man people. who always had a certain
amount Of affection for the French gov
eminent which broke off relations with
the Catholic Church. feel that the ac-
cusation brought against NJ. BRAND Of
being too lenient in carrying out the
separation of church and state was alb
solutely unjust. Just now they would
have rejOiced in chancellor with

opinion is also finding more and more be-
levers here that Brands fall was not
caused by his ecclesiastical policy, but
far more by the general disapprobation
felt in all political circles throughout
France for some time past in regard to
important questions connected with for
eign policy. Some Of the Vienna papers
express this opinion, and designate the
opposition in parliament to NJ. BRAND s
church policy as only pretext behind

Provision of Bill of 1898.

Mr.. Gladstones home rule bill Of 1898
provided for the payment OF a fairly sub
stantial contribution from Irish revenues
to the imperial exchequer. At that time
the total Irish revenue was 96.922, 600.
and the expenditure was 44,634, 900. The
difference Of roundly 92 800. 900 was Ire
lands contribution to imperial funds.
Roughly, this was one-third Of the total
revenues, and Mr.. Gladstone, on the
basis Of those figures proposed to ap-
propriate one-third Of the total Irish rev.
enue to imperial purposes.
The proposed Irish legislature thus
would be secured a net revenue OF
e4.66O,OOO, against an expenditure of
e4.14SOOO, leaving a surplus to be APP
piled to purely Irish purposes Of 9512,,-
600 per annum.. This sum was estimated
to increase largely year by year. SO that
a substantial amount was assured for
the task of developing native resources
or other directions Of legislative expendi-
ture. These liberal provisions were
strong criticised for their inadeQ9lacy by
the Irish members, and John Redmond,
then leader Of the section of the torn
nationalist party. declared at the third
reading that che regarded the bill only
as an tnStallment."

More Difficult Situation.

It is fairly evident that thS government
Of today has to deal with an infinitely
more difficult financial situation than that
in the adjustment Of which Mr.. Gladstone
failed to satisfy the Irish leader. In
stead of contributing more than E2,OOO,-
600 to the imperial exchequer. Ireland, in
the last financial year for which figures
are available, had to receive that sum
from the imperial purse in order to carry
on its services. The revenue Of the coun-
try was ES,355, 900, and the expenditure
E10. 712, 500. This comparatively enor-
nous deficit will, no doubt bear a con-
siderable amount of actuarial investiga-
ton to disprove its existence.
Probably a little Juggling with local and
imperial charges will result in a re-
duction, for the nationalist members do
not like the way that some of those
charges are Jumped under collective local
heads. The thousands may be figured
away into some obscure channel of i'm
perial expenditure. but the millions. or.
at least. the most substantial part, OF
them, must remain to confound the advo-
Gates Of home rule as business prOpO-
sition."
Between the financial positions Of 1893
and the present there Is therefore on the
basis Of the figures given a difference Of
more than 100000. which must be pro-
vided before home rule secures the finan-
cial position in which 1t was dealt with
by Mr.. Gladstone.

the other thorny points Of the home rule

J. 7. HARRAHAN
Passes Through Grenada-Wel-
coined at Depot.

Mr.. ]. T. Harrahan, retiring presi-
dent of the Illinois Central Railroad
company, passd through Grenada on his
farewell official trip from New Orleans,
last Saturday evening. Had it not
been the busiest day of the week for
Grenada merchants, no doubt a vast
majority of Grenada's business men
would have been at the train to greet
Mr.. Harrahan. His coming, too, was
not generally known until less than an
hour before his arrival; however, quite
a representative number of Grenada
ians were at the depot to extend awel-
come hand to man who had wrought
so much in railroading. Mr.. Har-
rahan's rise from section foreman to
the presidency of one of the world s
greatest railroad lines, should be an in
centive to every youth of the land to
push ahead.
Mr.. Harrahan has number of ad-
miring personal friends in Grenada,
none of which hold him in higher es-
TEEN than Major B. F. Thomas. Ac-
companying Mr.. Harrahan was his ac-
complished wife, his father-in-law, W..
