WIDOWS IN MADAGASCAR.
Their First Year of Mourning One of
 Abuse and Misery.

Their First Year of Mourning One of
 Abuse and Misery.
 There are no gay widows in Mada- gascar-not, at least, for one year after the husband has died. In Madagascar. on the death of any man of position, on the day of the funeral the wife is placed in the house. dressed in all her best clothes and wearing her silver or naments. Of which in general she pos sesses considerable quantity. There she remains until the rest of the house have returned from the funeral.
 As soon as her relatives return they begin to revile her in most abusive language and tell her that it is her fault that she has been stronger than her husband and that she Is really the cause of his death. They proceed to tear the ornaments from her ears and neck and arNns and give her coarse cloth and a spoon with a broken han dle and dish with the foot broken off. Her hair Is disheveled, and she Is covered with coarse mat, under which she remains all day long and can only leave at night. And she may not speak to any one who goes into the house Neither is she allowed to wash her face or hands, but only the tips of her tin- gers.
 All this the Madagascar widow en dures for year. or at least for eight months. and even when this is over her time for mourning is not ended for a considers ble period
 The mSt straw consists of the fact that she is not allowed to go home to her own relatives until she has been first divorced by her husbands family Chicago Tribune.

 The governor has been very badly advised since the exposure. He has even kept to himself any facts in miti gation of his faults, so that it has been impossible for any one to prepare a de fense.

Bryan and the president at the White House lasting from half-past two until , o'clock. Mir. Bryan ad- mitted that Japanese and Mexican al- fairs and other foreign relations had been discussed by him and the ore sident.
 The negotiations with Japan were thus left with Mr. Bryan dependent for their solution, peaceable or other wise, and the answer Japan may make to the suggestion for further diplo- matic negotiations.
 Summed up to this hour no official statement has been made in opposi- tion to the crystalizei belief that the United States is expecting an un- favorable answer from Japan. The best the state department could do it appears. was to deny the allegat. lGns Cf Japan as to the alien-l land law and ask for further time and con. ference. The White House has an. nounced that there shall be no nov. ing of the army or the navy.
 On his arrival from the White House Bryan gave out statement denying that this government was Investigating the conduct of Henry Lane Wilson, American ambassador to Mexico.
