DUBLIN. April 22.-(Special TO The Beef
During the proposed visit of the king
and queen TO Ireland they will reside at
the vice regal lodge. On the last visit of
Queen Victoria she occupied the vice regal
lodge during the whole period of her visit
and on two of the three occasions on
which King Edward visited Ireland the
vice regal lodge was selected as his place
of residence. At present alterations and
improvements are being carried out at
both the vice regal lodge and the castle.
While this will be the first visit of King
George with his consort to Dublin since
his accession to the throne, he is well
acquainted with ireland. six years ago.
while prince of Wales. he was the guest Of
Lord Ardilaun in county Galway. Upon
leaving Galway he went to Dublin. where
state ball was given in his honor at the
castle By the viceroy.
The king and queen visited Ireland, when
Duke and Duchess of York In 1897 and their
state entry was marked by most enthusiast
tic scenes. The duke received addresses
in the throne room OF Dublin castle and
sfterward took the oath as a member of
the privy council of ireland. Subsequently
he and Lord Roberts were invested as
knights of st. Patrick. They were re-
ceived with expressions OF the good will
| from the Weather classes and there is no
reason TO fear. that their welcome will be
less hearty when they come here in July.
The announcement already has been
made OF their intention to visit Scotland
soon after the coronation, when they will
hold a levee and a court in Holyrood pal
ace This will be the kings second visit to
the northern part of his kingdom since his
| accession. During last autumn he spent
over two months with the queen and the
members of his family at Balmoral but
owing to the recent death of King Edward
the time was spent quietly. In anticipa-
ton OF the forthcoming visit to Hollywood
extensive alterations are being made at
the palace Troops will be massed here
while the monarchs are in this city.

Of God who was proceeding TO duty at the
beuslue OF patent. ne nun WAS lTlknl-
ened at their behavior and attempted to
RUN away. but the soldiers followed until
she took refuge in a church. where they
threw holy water about. Judging by thelI
appearance the soldiers were rougbly
treated by the crowd. Reports OF the oc.
currence spread through the town and In
tense indignation was manifested, culmi'
mating in hostile demonstration against
the prisoners In the court house Fearing
an attack by the crowd the prisoners, after
being remanded, were removed In a covered
