Dublin, March 11.--There 80IM0 danger of Andrew Carnegie losing his grip on the popularity he has long en- joyed in Ireland. . His many acts' of benevolence have endeared him to the majority of the Irish people, not only for what he had done in lreland, but for his sympathetic encouragement of Irish exiles in the United States. The cause of the present trouble lies in a rumor that has helped to finance the boy scout movement, which has lately been making headway on this side of the Irish channel. This action of the miMionaive has provoked the anger of the Anti-Enlisting party, who are organizing an agitation against what they call Baden-Powel- lism in Ireland.
