PREPARING FOR EASTER
Elaborate Floral Decorations
for Churches--NO Lilies
for st. ThOmas's.

Tomorrow is Palm SUNDAY and II Is
estimated that about $4,000 worth of
palms will be distributed among the com.
muncants OF New York churches. The
greatest number Of palms are bought by
Roman Catholics the dealers usually
making provision to supply 7S0.o00 per-
sons in New York city alone. Use of
palms Is said to be growing in Protestant
churches.
There are half = dozen dealers here
who handle the palms. They are brought
from Florida and tho largest of these
dealers had ordered 100000 heads this
year Another has ordered 100000 and
the other dealers average 10000 heads,
While most of these 90 directly TO
churches, some are bought by women,
made into fancy forms. and resold for
the benefit OF charities.
The usual elaborate preparations of
floral decorations Of churches for Easter
are being made this year. No lilies are
to be used this year at ST Thomas $
Church In Fifth avenue, which will sec
Its first Easter service next Sunday. The
scent of the lilies Is objected to. The
design this year calls for white and pink
with double rows OF small potted plants,
chiefly pink tulips. around the base and
altar lines.
Dealers estimate that at least $25.0 900
is spent for altar purposes alone at Eas-
ter. The churches themselves spend very
little for flowers, the offerings being
mostly contributed as memorials. The
display at st. Patrick's Cathedral repre-
sents usually an outlay of $1,000.
AT 81. Bartholomew Church white and

CLAIM 70 MAJORITY
FOR TOLLS REPEAL
Administration Forces Will Be
Opposed by Senator'S Bur-
leigh and du Pont.

WASHINGTON, April Standardization
Senators were stll busy to-day recruit
ing for the tolls repeal bill. Their claim
nine was increased to-day to twelve.
Conservative Senators assert. however
that there Is stili a large doubtful elo-
ment. and while they believe the Presiden,
will gain recruits the matter is by no
means settled IN favor of repeal The
dsquieting element to tho friends OF re-
peal legislation Is the tendency among
regular Republicans to line up against
the President.
The unreliabilty OF the polls of the Sen
ate made by Administration Senators Is
well illustrated by the fact that Senator
Burleigh OF Maine and Senator du Poni
of Delaware have been persistently classed
in favor OF repeal. Goth Senators def
niteiy announced themselves to-day as op
posed TO the repeal bill.
"If tho fight over the canal tolls bill
continues as II has during the last tive
days the President Will be beaten In tho
Senate" said "A prominent Republican
Senator who Is supporting the repeal bill
81 do not put much faith in the various
polls Analysis has proved that they have
been inaccurate.
~ am hopeful that me tendency VIII
change within another week and that
Republican Senators will begin to see
that this IL not a party question and that
no party advantage can DO gained by
defeating tho repeal bill Up to this time

opposition To repeal

of the country will make their position

had been classed as opposed TO the repea
