KING EDWARD’S IRISH PALACE
New York, April 27
A cable to the Journal from London says “ The report is revived that Lord Cadogan will bo the last Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and that the King will bare a palace in l)ub in. Ho will reside there for several months in the year, and the gayest court in Europe, as ho certainly will make it, after the period of mourning is passed, will bring streams of money into the impoverished kingdom. The Tories hope that the presence of the King in Ireland will simulate the loyalty of the Irish. A detachment of Royal Irish Guards will be stationed all the” time at the palace and everything will be done so make the plan beneficial to the people.
The abolition of the vice-royalty of Ireland, it is said, explains the failure to appoint the Duke of Marlborough to that ollice. It is roportc.l that when the original proposal to allow a member of the royal family to reside in Ireland was referred to King Edward ho replied: ‘-Why not the King himself, sir? They deserve all that I can do for them. There have been no braver soldiers in Africa.”
