Much Affectfld by Warmth of Her RecePtion THE CEREMONIES IN DUBLIN ARE declared to surpass THOSE OF THE JUBILEE IN LONDON. Dublin, April 4. Queen Victoria landed in Ireland this morning for the first time in 39 years. The commander of the forces in Ireland, the Duke of Connaught, Lord Lieutenant Earl Ca dogan and their staffs, greeted her majesty and ride from Kingstown to Dublin commenced in splendid weather and before huge and good na tured crowds. At the entrance to the city she re ceived an address of welcome and handed the lord mayor her reply. The following is her majesty's reply: "I thank you heartily for the loyal welcome and good wishes which you have tendered me on behalf of your self and fellow citizens. I came to this fair country to seek change and rest, and revisit the scenes which call to my mind the warm welcome given both myself and my beloved husband. "I am deeply gratified that I have been able this time to see again the motherland of those brave sons who have recently distinguished themselves in the defense of my crown and empire with cheerful valor as conspicuous now as ever in their glorious past. I pray that Almighty God may ever bless and remember you." The queen appeared to be much af fected by the warmth of her welcome. Burke, son of the former city mayor, took the place of James Eagan, the sword bearer who refused to officiate, but the lord mayor himself handed the sword and keys to her majesty, who touched them. The ceremonies at the city gate were most picturesque. London's Jubilee lord mayor. Sir Georjre Faudel Philips, de clared the reception and ceremonies were the finest he had ever seen, far surpassing those of the Jubilee. DR. W. A. W oojar DEATH.

EARLY CLOSING. A Merchant Hopes to See 7 O clock Made the Hour. Editor The Citlten: It is rumored that c rtain merchants will be boy cotted y the Central Labor union, by request of the Clerks' union, be cause they refuse to comply with the request of a few merchants w ho favor the 6 o'clock closing hour. If the Central Labor unlor will take the trouble to investigate this subject, ihe"- will discover that a large major ity of the merchants, as well as the uuying public of Asheville, would be greatly inconvenienced, the mechanic particularly. We favor the hour 7 p. m. for store closing as most practicable for all classes. No one will suffer fronr-over-work, the cltVsens and visitors can do IHehT Shopping during the cool part of summer evenings, and all will be sat isfied. So long as the labor union la not pre pared to guarantee, the merchants against loss of trade, nor will they pay the merchants' bills. It is their duty to consider the merchants as well as the clerks. MERCHANT. HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES.

ENORMOUSLY SUPERIOR BRITISH FORCES APPEAR INACTIVE IN EVERY PART QF WAR FIELD. London, April 4. General Colville and General French have given up their movement against the Boers east of Bloemfontein, and have rejoined the main army. It doubtless seemed to Lord Roberts a vain thing to send from 10,000 to 12, 000 of his best troops into-the wilder ness with a field transport, in the di rection "of the right angle which is chosen as the line of advance. The Boers have probably moved elsewhere and if to the southwest General Col ville could as easily strike them from Bloemfontein as by following them. These inferences still leave the situ ation bewildering for the time being. The enormously superior British forces appear Inactive in every part of the war field, waiting yet probably for the accumulation of material for a swift advance on the Tiansvaal frontier. London commenators and the public to some extent are irritated and confused by the situation. The permanent bridge at Modder riv er station has been finished. The first train passed over it Tuesday. The British garrison at Springfontein was roused at midnight Monday by an intimation that the Boers in force were about to make an attack, but not a burgher appeared. STAR LIST OF MEMBERS.
