By HERBERT TEMPLE. LLONDON, March 24—The virtual suspension of military preparations on the borders of Ulster Province by both the Crown and the anti-home rule forces to-day acted as a reflex to concentrate national attention upon the next move of the Government in the Irish crisis, According to opinion prevalent in many quarters, King George has as sumed a role of activity and authori ty in the present situation unknown in the limited monarchy for many decades. From this same source it was reported that the King has placed the following program before the Cabinet for the conciliation of all factions in Ireland: That Ulster counties be given an additional six years, making twelve in all, during which they might be excluded from the operations of the Fome rule bill; and that all army of ficers who resigned when civil war in Ulster seemed inevitable be taken back without loss of merit, “If the Orangemen continue their protests with threats of war, home rule is dead,” declarved some of the radical newspapers. On the other hand, Liberal organs claim that the Irish policy of the Liberal Government has been vindi cated. There was a conference of Cabinet Ministers in Downing street at noon, when the situation was canvassed at length., It was subsequently reported thai the troops which were rushed to the borders of Ulster will soon be ordered back to their original sta tions.

Theodore Roosevelt's sister, Mrs. Douglas Robinson, prominent New York ®ociety woman, sat beside Re corder Nash Broyles Monday in Po lice Court and watched with sympa thetic interest or appreciative smiles the disposition of several dozen typi cal Monday cases. She commented on many of the cases and Judge Broyles listened attentively to her sugges tions. “Better than the best n}lnslr(-l show [ ever saw,” said her husband at toe conclusion, and Mrs, Robinson agreed with him. However, Mrs. Robingon was much affected by the misery bared in the morning’s drab recital, “It was very impressive,” she sald later, “and at times, of course, very amusing, It was a pleasure to see a court handled so well, and Recorder Broyles certainly seemed to be a splendid judge. I had always wanted to see a Southern Police Court to get a more intimate glimpse of the South ern darky, and I won't soon forget my experience to-day.” CUTS $6,000 ON OWN SALARY.
