| LONDON, May S.-(New York World Ca
| blegram-Special Telegram. )--Extraordinary
| precautions are being taken by Scotland
| Yard to secure the safety of the queen on
Jubilee day. A selected corps OF the most
skilled and experienced Paris Berlin and
| st. Petersburg detectives Is already at work
in London in assisting their English col
| leagues to locate and watch dangerous an
| archists refugees from those countries, until
the jubille celebration has passed. Then a
| special body of English and Irish detectives
| is employed making house to house inquiries
| along that part of the route of the process
| sion where possible window may be Sc
cured by some desperadoes to make an at
tack on her majesty. These measures, l
| learn. are purely precautionary, as there is
! no reason to apprehend go dastardly an out
| rage.
The queen has been urged to wear a bodice
| of extremely fine steel mail in case some
| lunatic might mediate an attack upon her.
She looks forward to the occasion not merely
without apprehension, but with the liveltest
pleasure, being intensely gratfed by the way
in which her subjects of all classes are
throwing themselves into the movement to
honor her. She is in better health than for
a long time past and has already arranged for
her stay on the Riviera next spring. The
proprietor of the hotel at Cimnea where
she stayed this year is under contract to
retain untenanted for a year the rooms oc-
cupied by herself. She will thus have
suite of rooms at her disposal for the next
holiday, which, seeing the hotel is a new one.
will have never been occupied by any one
else, circumstances to which Queen Vic
toria attaches considerable importance.
MAKING UP WITH GLADSTONE
Mr.. Gladstone and the queen have never
been on friendly terms since she accepted
his last resignation from office without the
customary e-;2ression of regret. This slight
greatly annoyed the veteran statesman and
was generally deemed one Of few !rnpunte
public acts of the queen during her long
reign. She now evidently wishes to make
amends, as she haa sent a special invitation
to stay at Windsor to Miss Dorothy Drew.
the spoiled wayward grandchild to whom Mr..
Gladstone is more devoted than TO any living
being. sure way to get into Mr.. Glad
stones good graces is through his favorite
grandchild.

this week, conspicuous amongst them, Mrs.
DreXel, who loaded herself with no less than
$50 900 worth of jewels. Her dress was
magnificent all white but with gorgeous
embroideries, and nothing has been seen like
the pear-shaped stones of her tiara except
those which top the young duchess of Marl-
boroughs crown. One most beautiful dress
in the room, however, was worn by Mrs.

satin, embroidered all over in soft white
velvet flowers and glittering jewels, with a
rich train of violet velvet. At the last mo-
ment her daughter did not go, although she
had ready very pretty little frock, all white
lined with pale green, pale green chiffon
sash on the simplest white skirt. Baroness
Halkitt was handsomely dressed with rose
red velvet train over pale primrose satin.
She was accompanied by her sister, Miss
Phelps Stokes. Mrs Mackay is still in
Paris but she returned to England this week
and is expecting her son to join her at Carl
ton House Terrace in few days. Mrs. Col
gate is already established at SO Eaton
Square, where the late American ambassador,
Mr. Bayard, resided. There have been many
callers at 5 Carlton House Terrace, where
Colonel and Mrs. John Hay are established.
The duke and duchess OF Marlborough are at
Spencer house, but the young duchess health
is delicate, The duchess, however will, it
possible, go to one of the drawing rooms.
The duke has ordered one of the most beau
tiful state coaches ever seen. The body OF
the coach Is the very richest dark claret,
with his coat OF arms upon It, splendidly H.
lumined. They look all the handsomer be-
cause they are surmounted with mitre, as
well crown, the duke is a knight OF the
Holy Roman empire. The hammercloth also
Is dark crimson, and the silver plated sup
ports are snakes, with crimson mouths. The
inside Of the coach is the richest red satin.
Even the lamps are things OF beauty, all
mounted in silver, heavily embossed, while
the coat-of-arms on the hammercloth is solid
silver, The coach cannot cost less than
Fl 900. 1t stands pre-emnent among several
other coaches and our-in-hands, which belong
also to the duke.
sALIsBURY'S CHANGE OF FRONT
One salient feature at present in the polit-
cal situation here regarding the TurkO- Greek
war is the startling suddenness with which
Lord Salisbury and his followers have thrown
OFF all pretense OF sympathy with Greece.
Even the reptile German press Is scarcely
more philo-Turk now than the principal min
sterial journals here. Not only are the
Greeks jeered at for being beaten, but the
Turks are acclaimed as heroes OF the hour
There is no evidence, moreover, that this
,ynlcal change OF front bears to any extent
he general feeling OF the country, although
he opposition papers strenuously denounee
t. Not only Turkish success in the field,
'ut the celerity with which she has modified
IN army able to face even the greatest OF
european military powers, has engendered a
enewed feeling Of respect for the sultan in
his country. The partition OF Turkish em-
'ire SO lightly spoken OF short time ago
s now realized as being an undertaking cali
ulated seriously to tax the resources even OF
European concert. This renascence OF Turk
sh prestige means the possible readjustment
