| New York. May 1s.-A special to the
Journal says: II is reported that the
anonymous philanthropist who contrib
uted $4,000 pounds to the fund proposed
| by the princess OF Wales TO feed the
| starving on the occasion Of the queens
! jubilee is William Waldorf Aston.
That report cannot be absolutely con-
| armed. The probability of its truth is
| based on Mr.. As;or's enormous wealth.
and upon the fac, that his generosity
has been unbounded in all directions
where royalty has shown the charitable
way.
