ROYAL MOURNING CUSTOMS
IN England Sumptuary Laws were
Formerly Found Necessary to
Restrict Extravaganza.

Royal mourning in the past was
regulated far more elaborately than
nowadays. IN pre-Revolution days,
when the French court was in mourn

with black, and every looking glass
in the kings residences was covered
with Grape French queens, when
widowed, were expected to remain Sc
eluded for six weeks In a room draped
with black cloth on which were fas-
tended white velvet dots, supposed to
represent tears.
The same custom prevailed in Scot
land. In the pamphlet which George
Buchanan wrote against Mary Queen
of Scots he dwelt severely on the fact
that long before the forty days fol

BOW TO PUBLIC WILL
Sentiment in Senate on Reel
procity Undergoes Change.
MEASURE MAY GO THROUGH
Belief That President Is Backed by
People Has Efect-Eyes
on House.

Pressure OF public opinion from the
country at large is beginning to show
its effect upon Congress in behalf OF
President Taft's Canadian reciprocity
policy. 1t begins to look as IL the Sem
ate will be whipped into line for the
legislation. despite the feeling OF hos
tility among the old guard and the
standpatters.
The standpatters find themselves on
the horns Of a dilemma They are
threatened with a greater measure OF
tariff reduction in the long run IL they
do not accept this Canadian pact now.
President Taft has announced repeated
should prevent action on reciprocity he
early in March.
Prospect of General Revision.
1t is known that in such event the
democrats will not content themselves
with acting upon reciprocity alone, but
will also take up one Of the schedules
OF the tariff law, the wooden schedule,
probably. and revise it, tacking the re-
vision onto the reciprocity bill. Once
started upon the work OF revision, no
one can tell where the democrats would
halt, and the standpatters are confront
ed by the possibility of far-reaching
tariff reductions.
to go through now, it is being repre-
sented to them, there will be assured
surcease from further tariff agitation
until next December.
These arguments are appealing to the
hidebound standpatters very cogently
and today there were indications of
weakening among some Of the forces
that are fighting the legislation.
Awaiting House Action.
1t Is admitted, however, that some
thing will depend upon the progress of
the bill in the House, and the amount
! OF opposition to 1t developed there.
The Senate democrats are waiting until
the House has acted before determin-
ing their policy. although it seems to
be generally understood that the demo-
Gratis of the Senate will in the main
support the legislation.
The Mccall bill. after it passes the
House. which will occur before the end
Of this week. will be referred to the
Senate committee on finance. That
committee is believed to be hostile to
the bill, II the present attitude of all
the members is taken into account.
but change is expected In sentiment
in the committee before the week Is
over and there is reason to believe
that with the aid Of democratic votes
the bill can be reported out of commit
tee although it will not be accom-
panied by enthusiasm on the part of
the leading spirits among the republi-
cans.
