QUEEN CREATES s EVERAL [ KNIGHT
Explorer Stanley and British Consul General at New York Honored.

General at New York Honored.
 London, June 2.-The queens birthday honors were announced to-day. Alma
 Tadema, the artist, and J. A. Boyd, chancellor of the high court of Ontario, are knighted. Henry M. Stanley M. F., is made a Knight Grand Cross of the Bath. Sir Charles Howard Vincent, M F., and James Rennell Rodd, consulate general in Egypt, are made knight com manders of St. Michael and St. George. In the case of MT Rodd the honor is bestowed as a reward for his successful mission to Abyssinia in 1897. Percy Sanderson, the British consul general at New York, is made a knight command ing of St. Michael and St. George and Captain B. l.. Burr of the British sec ond class cruiser Intrepid, for his re- cent services at Bluefields is made Companion of St. George. Sir Charles Howard Vincent was honored for his services during the recent anarchist con- ference at Rome.
 M. Jean de Reszke receives the Royal Victorian cross, fourth class.
 The extremely meagre honor list is a matter of general surprise, as well as considerable disappointment to many. No new peers have been created, al- though in quarters usually inspired it had been asserted that Sir Julian Pauncefote, British ambassador to the United States, would at all events be raised to that dignity. Neither are there any new privy councillors. Such baronetcies, knighthoods and orders as have been conferred have gone largely to the scientific and learned professions and to members of permanent civil service. A few officers have been re- warded with special service distinctions. Among the honors interesting to Amer jeans, in addition to those already cabled, are a baronetcy for Prof John Scott Burden Henderson, professor of medicine at Oxford university, orders of knight commander of the bath for w. H. Preece, president of the Institu- tion of Civil Engineers, and Prof. Mich ael Foster, professor of physiology at Cambridge university and the order of companion of St. Michael and St. George, and captain for the Hon. Mau- rice Bourke, commodore of the North American fisheries station, in recogni- tion of his services in protecting the ! fishery interests of New Foundland.

Friends Trying to Help Him Out of
His PredIcament.>

The friends of Charles Passavant for
forty year a resident of the city, who
is confined In the county jail to serve a
sentence of six months for contempt of
court, are hard at work endeavoring to
secure his release.
Back in 1892, as assignee of the estate
of Oswald Weis, MIR. Passavant collected
over 5000, which he neglected to turn
over to his successor when removed from
office. He was unable to raise the neces-
sary money, and last Thursday was TAX
en- to Jail to serve a six months sentence
for failure TO comply with the order Of
the court. Mr.. Passavant supposed that
the money would be readily forthcoming
from his friends in the case of his neces-
sity, but so far none have come to the
front He is absolutely penniless, and
1t is claimed that the parties to whom
he is indebted will make considerable
concessions If necessary Consequently
his friends are now endeavoring to Sc
cure his release, according to William
Pitt Murray, who appeared for him as
his friend.
Mr.. Passavant came to st. Paul over
forty years ago, and has been county as
SCISSOR, register of deeds and abstract
clerk, besides holding other positions Of
trust in political life. He has always
been prominent in Republican politics. He
