QUEEN’S VISIT TO IRELAND.

An Impressive Dublin.

{Spzcra, ro Tae Examiver. }

Dusiin, April 4.—The premature ar- rival of the Queen and the wretched weath- er were a disappvintment to the people of Kings‘own.

Nevertheless, as soon as the new spread, large numbers started for the har- bor,

While the Duke of Connaught, com- mander of the forces in Ireland, and Ear] Cadogan, Lori Lieutenant, also hurried there; and late in theafternoon boarded the Royal yacht where they were greeted by the Queen.

James Egan, the Dublin city sword- hearer who,for nine years, was imprisoned for political cffences has refused wo take part in tomorrow’s proceedings. Tais declaration at the last hour has caused a sensation.

Tu aletter to the town c‘erk, Egan gives his reasons and states that he is prepared to accept the consequences in the shape of handing in his resignation.

Tbe reception here promises to be a most impressive demonstration of Irish

fecling. —_—< > © «a _
