During these experiments. which have

JUBILEE HONORS
Lead to Jealousies and Widespread
Intriguing


NEW YORK, May 24.-A Sun cable
from London says
The slump in the jubilee charity funds
still continues. There is widespread in
triguing and jealouses in the struggle
for jubilee honors. There will, 1t is
known, be long list of titles and dec
orations bestowed.
It is said that Lord Salisbury will re-
ceive q dukedom, and If this be true,
there is little doubt Mr.. Gladstone will
have the privilege of declining the same
title. 1t is well known that the Grand
Old Man" refused an earldom many
years ago. There are some who intimate
that in the weakness of age he would
not have the moral courage to decline
the highest title within the power of his
sovereign to bestow. The point is raised,
however, that no precedent exists for
the raising of commoner to dukedom
without any intermediate steps.
