( New York World Ca blegram Special Telegram. ) Consuelo , duchess of Marlhorotigh , Is among the women ot title recommended by the prime minister to CJuieu Victoria for the decoration of the new Ilojal Victorian order during the Jubilee celebration. The Hoyal Victorian order was created by Queen Vlctoila this > car to cuablo lier to honor perrons whoeo special claims to recognition would render them Ineligible under the strict rules applying to t"c older orders. 'Iho queen's ' personil decision Is ab solute In connection with the granting of thlb decoration , and there Is no doubt that the duchess of Marlborough has been recom mended to her on the ground that the cou- IctrliiB ot thlh distinction on hei would be a gracious compliment to the American women whoso beauty and dollars have done so much for London society and the British aristoc racy. The names of the recipients of Jubilee honors will bo announced either on Jubilee day or the day before. Festivities on a tplendld scale are being arranged at Uleu- Iiulm palace In commcmoiation of the Jubilee , \ anil the probabilities all point to the recom mendation of Lord Salisbury for the decora tion of the duchess being acccxlcd to by the iiuccn. NOTHING BUT JUBILEE. London is jubilee mad The papers are full of it and there Is no other subject of con vcrsatlon The principal stieets are masked under ugly screens of now lumber along the line of march. Already people are taking out plato glass windows and baardlng up In anticipation of awful ciowds. Everybody Is decorating , but although private generosity in this line pioduccs a great Imprebslon on the Brltls.li mind , the plans really are less costly that in New York on occasions. Dis tinguished guests are beginning to arrive at Hotel Cecil. That tremendous place has been more than half chartered by the government to glvo accommodation to o do/en visiting dignitaries already there. The court yard Is full of cairlagcs bearing the rojal arms. Visiting Americans , appa led by the cnwh and the hotel rates , are going to the continent. These Americans resident here and prominent in London society are doing their share lu the lavish entertaining which inarko the jubllea year. Extravagance In the * ay of concerts has reached an abnormal pitch. Tour seasons ago London was amazed because J. II. Hob- inson , the great South African millionaire gave a concert in 'Broolc ' House , rented from Lord and Lady Tweedmouth , and had amorg the artists both Melba and Calve. Since then the Ideas of enteitalnments have con siderably enlarged and now no one , unless a very great lady indeed , draws anybody tea a concert without magic upon the cards Mrs. Hooscvelt , an American , who has taken Warwick House this seaton , asked Melba to sing at her concert , but she demurred be- causo.Calve was on the program also. Joan do lieszko has failed the manage ment of the opera twice and pleadei illncHS , but people have an idea that thta is not the truth , but only n excuse. Mclba , whoao terms were too high tor the opera sjndlcoto this season Jiao sung thirteen times at prlrate houses t a fee of Jl.WO. Mine Kames g ls $1,000 a night and Calve got $1,000 last coason and still more this , while Ancona and Plaucan arc great social favorltca at $500 each and Holl- nian and Wolf may be secured at $250 eicn. SUIU'HISEl ) AT PAHBUEWSKI. Thcro has been great surprise this beasou at the complaisance of Paderewskl , who gra ciously consented to play four times at pri vate houses.

Mr. Astor had two evening conceits following each other with seven days Interval be tween , and both were preceded by a big din ner , at which his little daughter , not jet "out , " imaldcd.

( New York World Ca- blcgiom Special Telegram ) The political detectlvo force at Scotland Yard is mani festing feverish activity In keeping undci constant surveillance the leaders ot the Irish extremists , both In Dublin and in London. Judging by the measures taken by the de tectives in both capitals there Is reason to suspect that they arc In possession of spe cific Information of some intended outrage- , either during the Jubilee procession or about that time. Ao Scotland Yard always lilth- erto has had complete knowledge in advance of the plans of the Irish-American c.ynumlte section. It Is quite probable Uiat they are not acting in the present Instance without warrant. But they have failed to discover any trace of the perpetrator of the icceut ex plosion on the underground railway In Lon don , which outrage many Irishmen here lie- licvo to have been carried out by some such agent of the secret service of the British homo office as the spy Jones. The motUc attributed to Scotland Yard for raising the present pcaro Is to relieve itself from the discredit and suspicion of manufacturing these conspiracies , which the dramatic col lapse ot the Ivory prosecution has created , together with the spiriting away of Jones after his pioved attempts to get up a plot In Dublin while Ivoiy was In prison await ing trial. Not only cro all arrivals from the United State. ? , both taloon and stesrago passengers , carefully scrutinized in the light of Informa tion cabled from the Brltl h police agenta In New York and Bcston , but the same clese In vestigation Is conducted at Ml ports of landing on the continent at which Atlantic liners go. Th * head of the original Invc-tlgallng do art- m ut hero claims to have on exact record of the appearance and movements of every sus pected person who has left the United States for Europe In the la t six months There Is no UFO In denying that the apprehension of some outrage being attempted Is widespread and It Is certain that If any takes place In connection with the jubilee there will bo a crusade against all Irish nationalists living In England. The Dublin rreemanV ? Journal ofllec en the Strand Is about the enl > building not to bo decorated for the Jubilee. It will be true to the traditional hatred of English royalty and will remain bare and gloomy amid the sur rounding glare of bunting and banks of flow ers It is not Impo-elble enthusiastic crowds may rraent thU and make a demonstration.

" MUUDEIl STOHY. An extraordinary murder story comes from Phlllppopolls. Bulgiria , where a Captain Boltchcff , a prefect of police. Novltch nnd n gendarme have been arrested on the charge of murdering Anna Simon , a beautiful public singer and the mistress of the captain. The latter. It appears , became tired of Anna and determined to get rid of her. With the aid of the prefect and the captain's brother she was chloroformed nnd taken In n cab to the banks of the Marltza river , where a gendarme was waiting. The latter then threw her Into the water. The prefect of police has con fessed. He Bajs he was told by Captain Boltchcff that Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria had ordered the woman to be killed In connection with this declaration. It Is pointed out that the accomplice of the captain was a court gendarme of the prince's Captain Boltcheff was one of the cadets who assisted In kidnaping Prince Alexander of Bulgaria , driving the carriage in which the latter was transported to the coast. Pilnco Feidlnand , when ho succeeded Prince Alexander , took a fancy to Boltchcff , had him educated and attached to the bulte of Princess Maria Louise , with the rank of princess adjutant Boitcheft'B liaison with Anna Simon was known to everybody In society. Captain Boitsheff made a rich marriage re cently when the liaison with the unfortunate singer was much talked of.

Since the arrival here ot Admiral Tlrpltz , chief ot the Navy depart ment , Emperor William's plans to Increase the strength ot the German navy have been taking up Intcrcot. Admiral Tlrpltz Is recog nized to be the oldest and most encigctlc man In the navy. He Is popularly known as the naval Moltke , and hla ideas and alms respecting- the further development and re- omgnlzatlon of the navy arc In thorough ac cord with those ot Emperor William , who hopes Admiral Tlrpltz will succeed who c Ad. mhal von Holmann failed , In Inducing the Helchfctag to adopt big naval ciedlts The emperor Intends to have ten big Ironclads and sixteen cruisers built by 1000. Conbldetable comment has been aroused by the fact that the emperor has ordered the German shipbuilding jard to build the very crul-'ars which have been rejected by the Relchbtag. Admiral Tlrpitz Is now making a tour of Inspection of the naval jards of Kiel , Wllholmshaven , S'ettln , Elbing and Duitzlg On his icturn he will frame a new naval bill , In which the necessity of putting the German uiAy on an equal footing with the navies of Trance and Huwla will be forcibly stated Great amazement has been caused by the fact that the emperor , In a cabinet order , has dissolved the national defense commission , an important military body created thirty jcan ? ago by hh grandfather , and of which Field Marshal von Moltko was the head until his death. He was succeeded by Prince Al- brccht of Prussia. His majestj's motive was supposed to be to get ild of the Irksome control of his plans for the new fortifica tions , of his alterations of Iho existing ones , which required until recently the decision of the commission. REFORM THE POLICE. It is now said that Emperor William him self desires to reform the secret political police and change tile ejstem of Intercourse between the cabinet ministers and the press. This may be due to the fact that the revela tions of the Von Tausch trlil are still being busily discussed , and the national liberals have decided to question the government lu the Diet on the stcra which It Is intended to take to improve the police system. It also appears that Von Tausch Is not yet out of danger. It Is fairly certain that he will bo tried for treason , respecting his reported utterances about the emperor's ' heilth. Emperor William has had an Iron cottage erected In the garden of the garrison hospital at Heligoland , which he will Inhabit during his B'ay en that Inland. The building la thirty > ards long by fifteen yards wide and consists of a study , bed chamber , bath room and servants' room. There Is a small closed veranda painted gray green outside and white , relieved by brown and gilt ornament tlon , Inside. The Prussian eagle has been made to take a leading part In the decora tions. Ofilclal statistics show a deficit of 1,000,000 marks In the Baltic canal during the past year , 19.DOOessels of 1,848,458 tons have pissed through this waterway. Of this num ber 17,862 of the vessels were German , 828 Spanish. 219 Uritlsh , i&fi Swedish and 378 were Dutch -reeeels. At a musical soiree at the palace of Pots dam , on Prlday , all the guests appeared In the uniform or In the court costume of 1797 , the year of the birth of Emperor William I , In honor of whoso betrothal , seventy jcars ago , the fcto vvaa given. A now wedding march , the words and music of which wore by the emperor was gtvrn and a chorus of children from the cathedral took part in it. PRUSSIANS PROTEST. Meotlngn to protest against the reactionary association's bill of the Diet are being held throughout Prussia. Thirty-six of these meetings were held in Berlin alone Wednes day. day.Tho The German export merchants of Sonne- berg have formally protested to Prlnco Hohonlohe against United States Consul Partello's requiring single or triple samples of the goods they export to America , those goods being dolls , toys and porcelain arti cles , which they contend , ore not suited for Hamples , The German newspapers , nota bly the National Zeltung , declare the con sul's conduct Is arbitrary and not In ac cord with his Instructions. Prince Hohcnlnho and Baron von Marshall von Blebersteln'B substitute , Baron Iloten- horn , the under secretary for foreign affairs , received Andrew D , White , the new United Stutet' ambassador , at the foreign ofllce on Thursday morning. Mr , Whlto was Intro duced by Secretary Jackson. The health of Edwin F.

( Now York World Ca blegram Special Telegram. ) The question whether cycling as a fashionable crnzo , es pecially among women Is tljlns out , Is eagerly discussed from careful observation In the West End of c > clc rlilcrs In Hjdo park. I can say that one. sec far fewer really smart people awheel this season thun last In London. This may bo attributed , how ever , more to the fears engendered by a series ot fatal accidents In London streets , which arc now choked with traf fic bejond previous experience , than to any falling off In patronage of the cjclc by society women ; they btlll rldo , but only In the country. Simrt cyclu clubs outside of London , such as Ilurllng- ham and Shecnhouse , attract as fashlonablo company on a fine afternoon as any Institu tion of the kind here haa c\er done. The affection of the royal family for the cycle is In no way diminished. Prince Henry of Dattenberg has Just become .1 member of the Cj cling Touring club , a glguntlc organbatlon In the in tercut of cycling tourists , to whlcn the subscription is only 5 ( shillings a yeai , and which has some 110,000 members. Thcro Is no club house , the members never asso ciating , but they wear a badge , which enti tles them to special rates at hotels through out the three kingdoms , and they are sup plied with the road books of the club , which give exhaustive Information concerning routeo to nil parts and the character of the roads down to the most mluuto details. All this Information has been collected gratuitously by the club members for their general benefit. A disastrous collapse In the English cycle Industry Is regarded as inevitable In the near future The leading companies all enormously increased their output , while the demand for machines Is less than one- quarter what It was this time last year. The stock of the cycle companies has dropped all around. Even the Dunlap Tire company , which virtually controls the tire market on this isldo and la under the man agement of Ernest Hooley , has suffered ssiloualy In general depreciation. American competition has told hea\lly on the English trade. It Is now admitted that the Ameri can machines arc far better value at the price than even the highest grades and the most renowned of the English makes The sure result of this condition of things will be a general and permanent lowering of prices all around , but that end cannot be attained until the over-capitalized English com panies , floated on the boom of last year , ha\o been reconstructed , an operation which will cause wldeepread ruin among the pres ent shareholders BALLARD 'SMITH.

June 12 ( New York World Ca blegram Special Telegram. ) The number ot cardinals In tlio Sacred College who are not Italians Is at this moment greater than the number of Italian cardinals , owing to tlio death of Cardinal dl Hondo. This haa not occurred before In several centurlos. If an election of a new pope wcie precipitated now an exhaustive conclave would consist of thirty HP Hun cardinals and thirty-ono who are not Italians , and whoso Interest , presum ably , would be to elect a non-Italian to wear the triple crown. Hut the Italian cnrdlnils might btlll contrive to maintain the Qppcr hand. Cardinal Maran of Australia and the French cardinal , archbishop of Mauritius , would find It Impossible , and the Canadian and American cardinals would find It difficult to reach Homo in tlmo for the condnvc , which Is summoned at ono week's notice. I'ope Leo Is being strongly urged by the Italian party to put an end of the possibility of the election of Cardinal Gibbons or Cardi nal Vaughan by losing no tlmo In appointing a sufficient number of new caiOlnals to render an elec tion secure for the next Italian nominee.

The state will on Mondav read to the Jury the documentary evidence Introduced lu the case , Including the records of the Omaha National bank , the records , of tie state trcca- urer's olllco nt Lincoln and records of the auditor's office , nil bearing directly upon the transactions connected with the alleged crlmo with which the defendant stands charged. This will complete the evidence of the state and the defense will nt once commence the Introduction of testimony. The line of testi mony to be offered by the defense and the probable number of vv Uncles has not been d'sclot-cd , o that no estimate can bo made of the length of tlmo which will bo required to complete all the testimony , but It Is the general opinion that several more dave will bo required for the Introduction of evidence. Yes'erday morning was consumed In get ting In what the defoiibo cvldentlj regarded as evidence of a most vital character and the ptogress made was painfully slow. The evi dence tn question constated of records of the btato treasurer's olllce , show Ing the ledger accounts of the bevcral state funds during tha period the warrant in controversy was out standing , these records showing that the gen. oral fund was reduced In January , 1897 , by the amount required to pa > the warrant and Interest , while the sinking fund account does not show any credit ot the amount called foi by the face of the warrant. Other evidence along the same line , which was hotly opposed by the defense , was q batch of monthly statements made by tha state treasurer to the state auditor during the period the warrant was outstanding , showing the same conditions as the ledger -accounts. These monthly statements all bora Bartley's signature as state treasurer. SINKING TUND NOT CREDITED. When court opened jcstcrday the dlrcci examination of Bookkeeper Wlxson of the state treasurer's office was resumed. Ho testified Uiat the entries In the ledger Identified jesterday by Tr asurcr Mcscrvo and himself showed the entries of charges against the general fund and credits to the Milking- fund , after which till ? record was offered in evidence as showing that the amount of the warrant and Interest had bten deducted fiom the general fund account , but that the amount of the warrant had never been credited to the sinking fund. The dcfenuo attacked the credibility ot these records on the ground that they were not original recotds and In the argument that followed upon questions along this line , the defense stated that the records might not be correct. The court allowed the witness to bo questioned along this line , and ho testified that the .entries In question -\.cro made fiom entries in the Journal. Correc tions and alterations appearing on the page of the ledger were Inquired about by the delcnse with a view of showing that numerous errors were made In the record , but the wltncts said he could not tell anv- thlti about them without referring to the journal , as ho did not make the entiles re- fen ed to A lively cross-fire of questions developed the fact that the entries were made by Colonel J. H. Alford , deceased , who irodo peculiar figures , and tli same figures had been afterwards made above some of then la order to avoid mistakes tiy those not familiar with Colonel Alford'fl chlrography , the amounts not being changed. The drawing out of these facts agalnat the objections of the defense occupied the time of the court until 11 o'clock. Pollowlng this Auditor Cornell , Export Ac countant Otto W. Hclblg of Chicago and George M. Bartlett , Bartley's deputy , were called to identify n number ot monthly statements made by the state treasurer to the auditor , all of which wore signed by Bartley. The defense drew from Expert Helblg the statement that ho had had these statements tn his posficf.i-'lou In the audltoi'n olllco and had bi ought them to Omaha. Ho also ad mitted that notations and a stamp of his name appearing on the face of the papers had been made by him while examining the document : but said he had not In any way changed the URIIIXL' or entries appearing lu the statements. MONTHLY STATEMENTS CONSIDERED. The state offered these monthly statement ) ] in evidence but the defense objected to the admloslon of those statements which had been written upon by the witness and a long argument ennitcd over the admission of these reports. The defense raised the fur ther objection that these monthly state ments were not reports riquhcd by law to be made and showed on their face that they had been written upon after being received In the auditor's ofllcn. The court ruled that the documents might bo admitted , but held that the notations made by the export must not be shown to the jury , The mow Bticnuous objections to this ruling wore made by the defense , but without avail George M. Ilprtlett , deputy under Bartley , was recalled for further cross-examination on the point as to whether Bartley ever wrote checks during the absence of the witness and afterward notified the witness lo make a stub for the check tu order to keep the records of the otlUu straight , Mr , Bartlett stated that he recollected instances where this had been done at other tlmua than when a check in payment of the war rant in question had been drawn in thla manner.
