resembling those already telegraphed, deuote
an approaching crisis ia Irish affairs, and it
], alleged that the King views the develop

Mr Bonar Law has arrived at Balmoral,
but it Is iutim ted it Is for the purpose Of
meeting N. 5azonoff, the Russian Minister
for Foreign Affairs, and not in connection
with Ireland.
AT Dublin. Lord Haldane, after receiving
the freedom Of the city, declared that the
Overseas Dominions were never so loyal as
NOW aud that the explanations are the Mon
archy, linking all together, and the judicial
Committee of the Privy Council, which does
not receive the attention ii deserves. His
ambition was to develop this tribunal rs he
hai developed military organization. Eng
li,hmen. he continued, had no desire to med
die in the affairs Of the respective Dominions.
but wish TO provide an impartial tribunal
for the purpose Of attaining uniformity in
laws. The Committee had put its very soul
into the consideration Of the affairs of the
Dominion of Canada, the Union of South

known here what n great interest the late
X ng and his consort took in the affairs Of
these Islands, aud l hope that the Dowager
Queen will continue with the good work
which she has started here. that work which
is now the question of the day, the vital
question of the infant mortality here III st.
Croix. Our present king. | know, has the
same good feelings for the people out here.
Some years ago., when ne was Grown PIlnco
he proposed coming out to visit the islands,
but for some reason the idea was given up.
The next change took place when our
former Governor, MIR. Limpricht, departed
this life. The loss the community suffered
was expressed to his widow in a telegram OF
coincidence and other tokens Of sympathy.
Aud it is therefore that you to-day have a
new governor to bid you welcome here"
Hele His Excellency continued to remark
upon the crop Of the past year and the
want of rain, which, lie is afraid, Will
spoil the prospects Of the present crop.
He then proposed the toast along Ice
the HING, which was accompanied BY
the usual three times three cheers, and
acknowledged by the Industrial Brass Band
with the National Anthem. When the last
not es Of this died away, HIS EXce!lency IN
v5ted aIi 10 partake OF the refreshments 4e
had prepared for them.
4 fact which must not be forgotten here
is the abnormal difficulty Of entertaining
nearly 200 guests, which difficulty, however,
was overcome by the excellent management
of the hostess, Mis-. Helweg-Larsen.
Here the Kings Physician, Dr.. halmer,
contemplating the large gathering, was NOV
ed 10 make some remarks. The steptolan
voice Of Nh. Wulf Hansen having called
for silence, The Doctor commenced las speech,
III which he said che took the liberty OF
thanking HIS Ezcellency and Madame IN
the name Of all pl resent and IN las own name
for the cordial welcome extended to-day.
He would remark, and he was quite sure,
that he was the Oldest official IL the island,
and as such it had been his privilege to be
present at the yearly Ieye= 10 less thAu 1oTty
times. Looking around at the large gather
ing, lie was convinced that II was the largest
assembly he had witnessed during those
years. He took it as a good omen for the
future, as il was the first leyee OF oar new
Governor. Again he would beg to thank
His ExeeIlency q Madame for making the
occasion one which viii ever be remembered
hy all present. He would now propose the
health Of the host 4 hostess
After the cheering, His EXcellency thank
Ell the speaker, and expressed the wish that
more people would in the future come 10 the
levee.
The Industrial Brass Band did its part in
adding to the pleasantness Of the occasion.
Before closing. | must express my opinion,
that he personal attention shown 10 all by
His Excelleucy nj This public gathering, and
his recent remarks III connection with the
uuveilIug have eudeated him 10 US IN a very
short time. And here l beg to assure His
Excellency, on behalf Of my own people.

CLAIMED WALDRON NOW MAY RECOVER CrossOn Taken to Big Rock. To Hold Drake Fun
 eral Today

Reports from St. Vincent's hospital last night indicated that unless some complication sets in, R. A. Waldron. who was thought to have been fatally injured in the cutting affray in the Florence hotel building Tuesday night, will recover in time.
 His cuts are of serious nature, hut none of the vital spots were neces- sarily badly injured and this gives him an excellent chance for recovery, 1t was stated.
 The body of Claude Drake. who died at the hospital just as he was being carried in, was taken in charge by Lige Loy and yesterday morning was trans ferred to the Johns Undertaking com pany. Funeral services over his re- mains will be held from his residence. 1212 Cotton avenue, West End, this morning at Il o'clock. Interment will be made at Elmwood cemetery.
 Benjamin F. Crosson. the young man who is charged with doing the cut ting, has been transferred from the city jail to Big Rock where he will await trial. Crosson displayed much feeling when informed of the death of one of his admitted victims. He will not likely be given a trial until Wal dron is able to attend court.
 officials of the local lodge of the Bailermakers' union yesterday declared that only one of the men interested in the fight was & boilermaker. A. L. Carmack, business agent of the Boiler makers union, stated that neither Cros- son nor Drake were boilermakers, but that Waldron is. Crosson states that he is q boilermaker but does not hold a union card. a
 The knife taken from, Waldron at St Vincents inhrmary Tuesday night, and with which it is charged that Cros- son did the cutting, Is still in the pos session of Detectives Burge and Propst, who have the case in charge for the city. f
