WAKES. FEATHERS.
SEOO 49, Badge Of EnGlAnd'S Oldest
PrinoO Was Adopted. ,fr

HoU 49, Badge, Of EnElAnd,s. Oldest
PriaoO. Was Adopted.
The popular account OF the adoption
Of the feathers by the eldest sons Of the
English kings as their own peculiar
badge u, Chambers Journal says, that
the black prince, SOD Of Edward LII,
conquered the original wesrer of the
crest. John Of Gutenberg, king. Of
Bohemia, at the field of Crecy, and ever
afterward, wore the plumes. IN. com.
memoration of the battle. ''The fate
Of the king Of Bohemia" says Hume,
*was remarkable. He was blind from
age; but, being resolved to hazard his
person and set an example to others, he
ordered the reins of his bride to be
tied on each side to. two gentlemen Of
his train; and his dead body and those
of his attendants were afterward found
among the slain,, with their horses
standing by them, in that situation, It.
is said that the. crest of the king of
Bohemia, was, three ostrich feathers,
and his motto, Itch Dien,' serve, which
the prince of Wales and his successors
adopted in. memorial of the great vic
tory. The general opinion now is, says
the St. James Gazette, that the badge,
sc, far from being acquired on: the bat
tlefield, was adopted by the black prince
and his successors as part Of the ar
mortal, bearings, Of, the various
CONTINENTAL families with whom
they, were connected by descent.
There. Is no contemporary evidence
in support of the popular. history
Of the badge, and the earliest writer
who refers to it is Camden, whose ERE
mains" were published in the. time of
Elizabeth, more than two centuries
after the battle. 1t is most probable
that the badge was introduced into Eng
land by Philippe of Hainault, the con-,
sort, of Edward HI. and mother of
the, black prince. She was descended
from the sister of Henry, count of Lux
emburg, an ancestor of John of Bohe-
mia, whose connection with the legend
is thus accounted. for. and; Johns
son., Emperor Charles ", bore an
ostrich, as his badge, as did his daughter
Anne, the, FIRST queen, of Richard II.
The earliest reference. to the ostrich
feathers in any English records in an
ipdenture. witnessing the delivery of
certain, articles of plate belonging to
the wardrobe Of Queen Philippe. Sill
yer basins. and ever are described,
enamelcd with the. arms of France and
Hainault quarterly, and particular men,
ton is made of: large dish for the aims
Of the. queen. 1t was silvcr-gilt, and
enamcled on the, bottom with q, black
escutcheon with ostrich feathers. The
inference is that, like the arms of Hahn
ault upon other articles of plate, the
ostrich feathers in the sable shield be-
longed to Queen Philippa,. and; were.
borne by her as badge of. her family,
or in right of some territories governed
ny the princes of. her house. Original
lF, far from being confined: to, the sole
use of the prince of Wales, the feathers
were occasionally granted to collateral
branches of the royal house. Richard
IT,, who adopted the white hart as his
own badge, granted two ostFieh feath-
ers to his cousin, Thomas Mowbray,
earl-marshal and duke .oi Npnfolk.

THE BEHRING SEA MATTER
Negotiations About Concluded on Thi,
PerpIexing OuestiOa.

Perpirx,ng Question.
WASHINGTON, April 7.-Secretary
Blaine said this afternoon, in response 10
an inquiry on the subject, that an agree
ment had not yet been finally concluded
with the British government in regard
to the modus vivendi in the Behring sea
pending the settlement by arbitration of
the jurisdiction and rights of thu United
States in those waters. He declined.
however, to say anything with regard to
the condition Of negotiations on that
subject. The departure of the president
from the city at this time, however, Is
regarded as specially significant in view
of the statement attributed to him that
he would not go away until the question
of the modus vivendi had been settled
one way or the other. His departure
taken in con junction with tho fact that
he had long conference with the British
minister. yesterday and one with Secre-
tary Blaine this afternoon, gives more
semblance of probability to the belief
in c. rtain quarters that the agreement
has practically been reached by the pres
dent and British minister for the sus
pension of pelugc sealing IN the Behring
sea, and that the basis of agreement has
been communicated to Lord Salisbury
for his action. AS il is not likely that
the British premier will dispose Of the
matter for several days to come. the
president probably thought he could
avail himself Of the interval for
few days Of recreation. The agree
ment so nearly concluded is said
! to be substantially the same as
the modus vivendi of last year which en-
pires on the first proXmo. This limits
the catch of the North American Com
mercial company on the Seal islands to
1900 seals. The president, it is said, in
sisted that this allowance was necessary

charges that the Gazette printed a

charging him with being implicated in a
murder committed in Denver. Wein-

publication of the article was the fact
that the murder was committed at a
residence near that of his own; that his
friends and relatives nearly all live near
Rockford and the circulation given the
story greatly injured his character.
