had assembled. When the Prince and Princess alighted, they were greeted with tremendous cheering. They were eSfcortod to the grand stand, where a large representative gathering had assembled. Here, when the enthusiasm of the crowd had been quieted, the address of welcome, by the Dublin Chamber of Commerce, was read. This address dwelt specially upon the beneficent influence which the visit of the Prince and Princess would exercise upon the welfare of Ireland. It alluded also to the labors of the Prince in the cause of housing the poor of London, a subject, the address said, of great interest to many people in the Irish capital. When the procession was about to start from the station, several bands joined forces in rendering the air "God bless the Prince of Wales." For a time considerable excitement was occasioned by some trouble to the royal carriage, which the populace, not understanding, exagerated. When the horses drawing the carriage emerged from the depot they were frightened by the sight of the crowd and the glare of uniforms. The animals shied and pranced around for a few moments, and it was feared they would break away and overturn the vehicle. But the driver, in a short time, had the animals quieted and under perfect control. This episode delayed the j>roeessicn a short time, when it again moved off in perfect order. The route was through Westland Row, Lincoln Place. Nassau street and Grafton street to College Green, where the first stop was made. The Green w3 literally packed with one solid mass of cars, carriages and people a foot. The advent of the royal party was hailed with tremendous cheering. One of the features of the procession was the presence of a marching force of students. They numbered an even thousand, were jauntily dressed, bore walking sticks as. arras, carried two Union jacks for banners, and made the streets resound with their cheery and lusty singing of *'God Save the Queen.’’ POPULARITY OF THE PRINCESS. The Princess of Wales captured the populace It sight. The refined beauty of her face and the elegance of her figure, were most artistically set off in a special costume of green, which had been made for the occasion. The dress was composed of a close-fitting, dark green velvet bodice, with a silk skirt to match, and a Princesse bonnet trimmed with beads and dark green feathers. This tribute to the Irish colors, so deftly and beautifully made, was instantly recognized by the people, and her Royal Highness was everywhere greeted with applause. After luncheon at Dublin Castle, which was Over at about 5.30 in the afternoon, the Prince and party proceeded to the Royal Dublin Society’s show, at Ball's Bridge. The Royal escort on this trip was composed of the Hussars, and this escort was preceded by Earl Spencer, escorted by the Lancers. At Ball’s Bridge the reception was just as enthusiastic as the one on College Green, and the cheering along the route was hearty and unanimous. The exhibition vas varied, one of the features being a series of xtraordinary Jumping feats. The grand stand, *hich had be?n altered for the occasion, was -owded with prominent persons. Policy lined the railroad from'Kingstown to übiin during the passage of the royal train his afternoon, but there was no occasion for their services. On the arrival cf the train at the station in Dublin, the crowd broke through the cordon of police and surrounded the carriage of the Prince of Wales, cheering hitn. The Prince stepped from the carriage to the platform, and shook hands heartily with scores of people as they crowded around him. The effect was electrical. The cheering became frantic, and was continued in an unbroken roar until the Prinee reached Dublin ('astle. The Prince telegraphed this evening to Queen Victoria, at Aix-les-Baiues, France, that he had a glorious reception. The city is brilliantly illuminated to-night. The police had difficulty at one time in preventing a collision, when Nationalists began shouting: "(fad save Ireland,” and attempted to raise cheers for Parnell. Au attempt was made to burn the Union Jack which had been stolen from the Mansion House by students, but the attacking party was driven off by a combined force of students and loyalists, headed by one hundred policeinen with drawn revolvers. The mob took i*evenge by breaking the windows of the house from which the flag was flying. THE WAR IN THE SOUDAN. The Guards and tho Australian Contingent Reach Hamtoub. London, April 8. —The Guards and the Australian contingent, which left Suakira on Monday cor Handoub, with orders to build a zeraba at that point, have reached their destination. A Constantinople dispatch says an official proclamation has been issued, stating that the Mahdi. acting in opposition to the principles of Islamism. has possibly carried his seditious audacity to the extent of issuing further incendiary manifestoes in liedjahs and i r emen against Ottoman domination, and Mussel mans will regard the Soudanese agitator as an impostor and a robber chief of the worst kind, and will treat the new appeal of fanaticism and barbarism with the same profound contempt as heretofore. All About the Zeraba. • 'liicaeo Inter-Oceau. The zeraba is a’ native light barricade contracted in the form of a square, and, by the rabs, was made of mimoSa brush, piled with .e prickly branches outward, and built high -.ougli to make tho offer to overleap them imracticabie. The sharp, jagged branches present i forbidding aspect to tho Arabs and blacks, who Lave no taste for flinging their naked bodies against them. ’The great tactics of the Arabs is to attack by "rushing, ’’ in the hope to overwhelm, by the ▼ery impetus of the assault, tho waiting enemy. Asa meaus of checking this "rush” the zeraba has been found very effective, and the Euglish adopted the native example as a very excellent provision against a decisive charge from the enemy in open fighting. But any sort of superficial fortification flung up to meet a temporary requirement is now referred to in the dispatches as .a zeraba.. It corresponds, in fact, to the fence-rail breastworks and the light enrtkworics thrown up by our own troops in the war for the Union. The principle of construction is a veryold one undoubtedly, and is a very- good one iii primitive warfare where the serious fighting is in hand-to hand encounters. In China the practice is a favorite one of thrusting long bamboo rods, sharpened to a point. into the escarp of their breastworks, which very painfully re tards a too reckless charge. Tho zeraba has been of invaluable aid to the British in the Soudan. BARRIOS OF GUATEMALA. The Sou of tle General Does Not Believe His Father Is Dead. New York, April B.—The son of President Barrios left this eity for Washington last night. "From the only information 1 have,” he said before his departure, "I do not believe my father i3 dead. I have received no trustworty information of the fact. If it was true, the Ameri can Minister at Guatemala would have informed tne government at Washington. All reports froro'San Salvador are utterly untrustworthy. I believe the telegram from a friend to a gentleman in this city, requesting him to inform me of my father’s death, is a forgery, because it is dated from San Salvador, while I know, positively, that the gentleman whose name is signed to it was in Guatemala the next day.” Reasons for Thinking Barrios Still Alive. Washington Special to Leuisrille Courier-Journal. Iu conversation with a Courier Journal correpondeut to night, Senor A. Batres, the Central Vmerican Minister, expressed bis disbelief in he report of the death of General Barrios. “The news,” he said, "is improbable on its face. General Barrios is a skilled warrior, much the greatest military leader in all that country, and while brave and aggressive, it is not likely that ho has gone down in the first engagement of any consequence. His forces are superior in number end of equipment to those of the enemy, and his 'defeat arid death are highly improbable.” ‘•What forces can the respective republics jnuster?"’ "Take Guatemala first, with 4.3,000 men well drilled and equipped and devotfed to General

Barrios. Then comes Honduras, which sides with General Barrios, with 8,000 men. On the other hand, San Salvador can put in the field 8,000 men, Nicaragua 5,000, and little Costa Rica probably 3,000. By summing up you see but 10.000 men. not of the best either, and but poorly led, are pitted against 53,000 men, led by the ablest general in the whole territory of Central America. That doesn't promise defeat and death on the very threshold, does itT "There can be no doubt, I presum.e. of the desire of the people of Central America for the proposed union?" "None whatever. The mass of the people are with General Barrios, and once freed from the shackles interposed by local leaders, whose powers, of course, would disappear in a centralized government, they will cive him a cordial support These leaders have organized the opposition not in the interest of the country, but for a continuation of their own importance and authority. Central America was, as you know, once under one government and prospered. Civil war came, however, and dismemberment followed. But reunion is strongly desired, and must in time inevitably bo accomplished. The defeat and death of General Barrios would only postpone it” “General Barrios, then, has been much misrepresented?” "Maligned, say. That’s the word. He is a patriot. His life is pure, and so are his purposes. He aims at no dictatorship. There is a clause in the constitution of every one of the five republics providing that the proposition of a reunion coming from any one of them shall be considered by all of the others. But selfish leaders in San Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica are opposing tne legally-expressed proposition of Guatemala.” "You have no news yourself?” "I can get none. The cable station is situated in the republic of San Salvador, and no news from Guatemala or elsewhere at all favorable to General Barrios is permitted to go out. In this way the world is deceived. But lam sure that General Barrios is not dead.” FOREIGN MISCELLANY. Preliminaries Looking to Peace Between France and China. Paris. April B. —Before the adjournment of the Senate to day De Freycinet, Minister of Foreign Affairs, stated that the preludes of a treaty of peace with China had been virtually concluded. Before, however, giving the effect of the recent negotiations De Freycinet was anxious to ascertain the opinion of the Chinese government, and had telegraphed to Pekin to-day. He would be. therefore, unable to announce the conclusion of a peace treaty until China should reply. Tlie French anil the Bartholdi Statue. Paris, April B.—The French are hurt, or pretend to be.*by the sad absence of enthusiasm in New York over the Bartholdi statue. "Suppose wo keep our statue,” remarks one of the morning papers. "Our conduct might not be very 'chivalrous, but it would he sensible. Paris would be richer in having this splendid statue.” "If you don’t want tho statue, don't take it,” says a French senator. ."We should be glad of it ourselves.” A Man Who Wants France Dismembered. Paris, April 8. —A curions book has just been issued. The author Herr Von Bertouch, proclaims the historic right of Germany to Burgundy, and thinks the instability of Franco might be ended by the partition of France on an historic basis, tlie west retaining its independence as a monarchy, the east beine formed into a middle kingdom. Champagne being annexed to Germany, and Italy regaining Nice and Savoy. Cable Notes. Forty thousand coal miners are now on strike in Yorkshire, England, alone. Henry M. Stanley hopes to visit the United States at the end of this month. Ho will stay but a short time.

Lord Randolph Churchill has declined to become the Conservative candidate for Sheffield, having pledged himself to a Birmingham constituency. The English ship owners at llong-Kong decline to ship rice for the northern ports of China.

Van Devanter, SCHEMING DEMOCRATS. Importance of Indiana to Democratic Plans for Perpetuating Party Power, Special to New York Commercial Advertiser. The Democrats are a little concerned over the feud between Hendricks and McDonald, for fear it will endanger their chances of carrying the Indiana Legislature in the coming fall and make it impossible to carry out their boasted intention of electing one of their own faith to succeed Senator Ben Harrison in the United States Senate. Hendricks would rather see a Republican elected than see McDonald holding down a seat iu the Senate Chamber, and knowing the almost universal desire among Democrats to have the latter chosen to that high position, it is suspected that Hendricks, if he thinks Democratic success means the triumph of his rival, will do what he can “on the quiet"’ to bring about the election of a Republican. Indiana is one of the States the Democrats count upon as sure for their side, and they seem to feel as if only a split in their ranks can make them lose the election there. Concerned in the results in Indiana is a deeplaid scheme of the Democrats to capture the entire control of the government Were the Senate only in their hands, their triumph would be complete. Could they, during President Cleveland’s administration, only manage to get the upper hand in the Senate, it would not be long before the State of Texas would be divided into four or five States, and some six or eight more Democratic senators made a certainty. It would not cause the conscience of a Democrat any uneasiness if Utah with its polygamy and all, were admitted to the Union. Any other Democratic Territory would do as well, but it is very certain that the* opportunity would not be allowed to go by unheeded. Tho terms of twenty-five senators expire with the close of tho Forty-ninth Congress, and meanwhile will come the tug of war. Sixteen of the twenty-five are Republicans, and nine Democrats. Several of the Republicans, Harrison of Indiana, Miller of California, Miller of New York, Sewell of New Jersey, Hawley of Connecticut, Mahone of Virginia, and others, for instance, bail from States that are now very close, and there the Democrats hope to witness a revolution or two. The United States Senate is now all they want, and they will bend every energy and stake everything in the way of federal patronage to secure the control of that body. Miss Sweet’s Removal. Washington Special. The opinion that finds expression here in regard to this matter is not complimentary to Colonel Black. To single out a woman for removal who, he admits, has conducted herself in an unexceptional manner, and whose management of her office he virtually commends, is not a performance creditable to the new commissioner. The President, in view of his recent action in reappointing Postmaster Pearson, cannot consistently permit the suspension of Miss Sweet. Mr. Pearson was reappointed on the expiration of his term because he was an efficient officer, and now his Commissioner of Pensions boldly overturns this rule of action and demands the resignation of a woman two months in advance of the expiration of her term of office, whoso record for efficiency is as good as that of Postmaster Pearson. Guided by bis action in Pearson’s case, the President can find sufficient warrant in Colonel Black’s telegram to Miss Sweet to direct her retention until her term expires.

Fidelity to His Friends. National Republican. “Fidelity to his friends has always been one of Mr. Hendricks's strong traits,” remarks the nimble editor of a little Indiana Democratic organ.
