i, a THE LONDON READY 10 CELEBRATE PEACE. Kitchener Hero of the Hour, While Hostility to Roberts Is Marked—Another''Mafeking Night" Expected. LONDON, May %1.—If a definite an- mouncement of peace in South Africa is made Monday, as expected, that night wil bid fair to rival the celebration fhich occurred when the relief of Mate- king was officially announced (in May, 1900), Throughout London arrangements have already been made for numerous Peace dinners, The aristocracy will “Maffick” on no small scale, and doubt- Jess the denizens of Whitechapel and the various East End quarters will in- wade the Strand and other thorough- fares with their wild exultation. | For Monday afternoon every seat in the House of Commons 1s already pre- empted. If the statement of the Gov- ernment leader, A. J. Balfour, comes up to expectations, lttle will be done in the United Kingdom that day except exultation over the end of the war that fhas tried the spirit of the nation to its uttermost. Already the wiseacres are saying that Lord Kitchener will be made an Bari and receive the thanks of Parliament, accompanied by a substantial grant of money, One of the most curious features of the war is the remarkable way in which Lord Kitchener has deepened the awe- some respect, akin to fear, with which the British nation regards him. As Lord Kitchener's star has ascend- 4, 80 has Lord Roberts's deolined. The Senlal optimism of the old fighter, who fs now Commander-in-Chief, grates so bitterly upon a people severely over- taxed for the war which Lord Roberts Jong ago declared finished that the spon- taneous popularity which made him the hero of the Jubilee procession could never be repeated at the coronation. Indeed, it is more likely to be trans- formed into a hostile demonstration, in which Gen. Buller's name may be greeted with cheers, Peace ts undoubtedly the question of the hour, and Lord Kitchener {s once more the man of the moment. Great financial magnates whose 1n- formation regarding the conditions in South Africa has often been better than the Government's, and whose in- terests there are almostas great as the Empire's, declare Lord Kitchener is the savior of his country.

KEEPS ROSE FROM HAND OF INDIAN WHO DIED FROM LOVE SHE SCORNED. KING AND LORD SALISBURY QUARRELLED OVER PEERAGE. Monarch Demanded Elevation for Sir Ernest Cassel—Duchess’s Challenge. LONDON, May %1.—Those in touch with royal circles are busy gosaiping ‘about the reported uff between Loni Ballebury and King Edward, which ts said to have arisen on account of the King’s demand that the Premier recom- mend Sir Ernest Cassel for a peerage. Last year the same request met with but this year was again urced 9 Pdwani on the ground of Sir Ernest's munificent gift (£200,000-$1,000, - 000) toward the cure of consumption. The Premier absolutely refused to con- tenance the suggestion, and at the end of a’ stormy interview, which ocourred the day the State dinner was held at Buckingham Palace, Lord Salisbury remarked: ‘Well, sir, I suppose I had better leave my place at to-night's ban- quet vacant?” to which the King !s said to have replied: ‘Yes, I think you had," and stalked out of the room.

But “Ducy," whose real name is oJe, is only three years old and his tongue 1s not limber. “Ducy” is his name for himself, and ail he has told is that “Pleecemana divved me lots of take and tandy and I et it all up.” “Ducy'’ says he only went for a walk, but traces of him were found by his anxlous father at the Grand Central Deprt and various other places, The police of the weet Sixty -tenth _oan FAMOUS OLD DIVER DEAD FROM PERILS OF HIS CRAFT.
