LONDON, Jan. 2. Tho after effect of

and remarkably widespread. It uartlcularly

The milliners' stores are lllleil with blade
bonnets and other establishments have a

man who can nfforil It Is wearing black
clothes, a black necktie nnil black gloves.
Tho women nre nil attired In black nml the

bands on their orniB. All nrmy Hans aro
draped with black. Nntiirnlly there will ha
Ions ou Blocks of colored goods, particularly
In the case, of London firms accustomed to
depend on court and society buslines. On
tho other hnrtd dealers In black goods will
bo able to tell their entire stocks at a
very great profit. In fact, u famine In black

of the principal wholesale firms In Loudon.

orders. The fame story comes ft am other
fac-tcrlcs which nin running night and day
to supply demands.
Says one wholesale dealer: "It Is dliri
cult to say where the demnnd will end.
Assuming that the period of ino.irnln will
be prolonged for whole seasons, trade will
bo revolutionized and some brnnrhes will
be paralyzed." Another nuthorlty esti

the queen's life hy tiorokecpcrs and
ihtntricnl manager's to prevent losses under
tho condition prevailing. The sum of 250,
000 ts one estimate for the total.
Theatrical managers hastened to apply to
thu Insurance companies when her majesty's
Illness hecamn known, but the reports from
the queen wero so grave that they found
tho rates of most companies prohibitive.
Tho shares of certain Inhtirnneo compnnlcs
havo fallen this week from one quarter to
one point, hut the majority are unchanged.
Reputable brokers Informed a repieseuta
tlvo of the Associated Tress that tho
amounts nre exaggerated. The best com
panies considered the risk too speculative
but the majority of Insurances wero taken
so long ago that plent of reserve has ac
cumulated. The premium on the queen's
llfo a month ago wns 5 per cent. When her
Illness was rumored It rose to 1.1 per cent
In a day. Snturday last It wns 30 per cent.
The majority of the leading theaters nre
draped with crepe and havo posted black
border announcement that they will be
closed until "after tho funeral of our be
loved queen."
Tho music hall managers held a confer
ence nnd nfterward published tho fact that
halls would reopen until tho day of the
funeral, owing to tho loss their employes
would sustain If they were closed. This
action Is unpopular. Tho people think the
managers might carry their employes
through tho mourning season, Instead of
using them as an excuse for their own un
willingness to forego n fortnight receipts.

The scene befdro the lodge gate, following

reporters assembled with cabs, horses and

Having access to nil the telegraph and

that no report was sent from Cowes before

Salisbury's absence from his post nt Vic
toria's bedside during her lust hours, the
reason for which was given first In your
London dispatches Wedncsdny, has now,
owing to the bad Impression created, been
mndo tho subject ol a seml-olllclul explana
tion. Tho explanation Is that the prince of
Wales excused the premier from going,
owing to the lntter's Indifferent health.
But Lord Salisbury's health Is now notor
iously better than for somo years, nml any
ono who observed him in tho House of
Lords could tec he wns quite hale, alert
and igorous. . He was ' InTtar tho least
affected by the sad occasion of any speaker
In either house during the vote of con
dolence proceedings. It s also Interest
ing to recall that when Lord Salisbury was
summoned to London from lint Held house
Inst week Friday, when the queen's condi
tion was grave, It was stated on his be
hnlf In the press. "I'nder no circumstances
Is Lord Salisuury going to Osborne house,"
n form of announcement which has a
strong significance In view of the rumors
now current In the best Informed circles
respecting his relations with tho king.
Ilillic nt' 1) niililri ii n Premier.
A privy councillor present nt tho
proclamation council Wednesday stntes. In
reply to Inquiries, that the king and Lord
Salisbury only saluted each other most
perfunctorily, nnd that the duke of Devon
shire, tho lord president of the council,
was tho Intermediary between tho king
and the council throughoit, tho ceremonial.
This has given rise to the impression that
wncn Lord Salisbury retires tho king will
bo able to persuado the duke of Devon
shire to take tho premiership, something
the queen fniled to do on two occasions.
The Times, too, has gone out of Its way
to tell the king that Lord Salisbury lis
the only possible, prime minister, evidently
fearing a rupturo will take place Im
mediately, thus adding to the general con
fusion nnd trouble of tho cabinet nnd
country. Hut it is unlikely a change can
bo long delnyed. There is no doubt that
the cause of the estrangement Is. ns stated
before. Hint Lord Salisbury spoke'scrlously
to the print"- of Wales about his mode of
llfo and nd.'ured blm to surround himself
no longer by the most Inx. frivolous nnd
brainless bet In Kngllsh society.

LONDON. Jan. 2ti. (Now York World
CablegramSpecial Telegram.) With a
view of getting a lino on the direction In
which King Kdward VII is likely to In
lluenco public life, Interviews were sought
with ninny persons. In a position to speak
with such nuthorlty ns is possible ou the
question. With surprise it was found an
agreement existed among the best authori
ties that no one ts likely to Influence the
king so much In public matters as tho
countess of Warwick. The common Impres
sion has been that their friendship had
waned, hut the best Information is that tho
king eutertnlns the highest respect for tho
countess of Warwick's aMllty and sagacity
that he frequently consults her on dim-
cultles he encounters In guiding his public
conduct; In fact, that there is no one for
whose Judgment ho entertains a higher
opinion.
This really shows his discernment, for
there Is no womnn of her rank, nnd few
others before the public here, with more
brains, energy or liberality of view than
tho countess. In fact, sho Is strongly In
clined to radicalism, or, as she would
probably call it, tory democracy. Of lato
years sho has applied herself to nil manner
of good work, especially directed toward
buttering the condition of that most neg
lected and baekwatd clasa of tho Kngllsh
community, tho agricultural Inborer and
siunll farmer. Tho work sho has been doing
for Warwickshire and adjoining counties
has been Imitated by the king's direction
In Norfolk, with considerable success, but,
lacking as It Coes the guiding hand of a
woman both of intellect anil good feeling, It
cannot compare with what the countess
has effected within her own sphere.
The Influence of the countess of Warwick
ou the king will ho all to tho good. His
other friends anil the sporting set aro
qulto on a different piano nnd aro merely
companions it. his frivolities, whllo the
countess of Warwick's Influence Is nothing
If not beneficent. Tl Is Is the view of
persons well entitled to speak.

upon the (iermnn public mind, overshadow

The Krcuz Xoltung revives tho passage In

prince's first meeting at Versailles, In ho7.
with the prince consort and Queen Vic

Bismarck saying tho prlm-o consort treated
him haughtily, us u political opponent, and
n prn-Uusslau reactionary, while the queen,
though evidently regarding him In u similar
light, spoke plenFiintly throughout.
The opinion that the queen's death wns

war, is here generally held, hut small hope
Is Indulged In that King Kdwnrd's Inlluenco
will be exerted to bring about peace on
terms leaving the Boers their Independence.
The general opinion of King Kdward Is
divided. Though a few regard hint ns Oor

lish perfect equality nnd n common holding
of goods. Christian democracy, on tho con
trary, tespects the principles of ill vino law
nnd, whllo seeking rcnterlal amelioration,
has In vicv the spiritual wlfnro of tho peo
ple. Christian democracy, moreover, must
not ho confounded with polltlcnl democracy,
for tho flr't can nnd ought to subsist, ns
does tho church Itself, under tho most
varied political regimes. Christian democ
racy also ought to respect the laws of leg
ttlmato civil authority. The appellation,
"Christian democracy," therefore contains
nothing which might offend anyone. These
divergencies having now been dispelled,
''nthollcs should continue to devote their
cnPM f Morliil qlicslif iifc mid tin- aivllora-
tlon of the lot of tho working classes. The
pope encourages the zeal nnd action of those
Catholics who eonsecrato themselves to
this eminently useful work.
Illtlnu ot Aim CntiiKlril.
The encycllcnl eulogizes the giving of
alms, which the socialists wrongly regard
as Insulting to the poor. Alms, on tho con
trary, serve to tighten tho ties of social
charity. It matters not whether this action
of Cnthollcs In tavor of the working clnssei
Is called tho social nctlon of Catholics or
Christian democracy. Tho essential point
Is that Cn'hollcs must net together to pte
servo the community of elfort and senti
ment. Idle, useless questions ought, there
fore, never to be brought up In tho press or
public nssemblles. Catholics must net ro
as not to engage in disputes.
The pontiff concludes with exhorting
Cathollrs to Insplro themselves with thcuo
principles and to Inculcate diem. Th"y
must urgo tho people and workmen to shun
everything Invested with n seditious or
revoluttrnary character, respect tho lights
of others, bo respectful to their mnters
and observe sobriety and religious practices.
Thus v il social peace again become nour

lln, a rich bachelor from Tours, resident
In Paris for many years, Is believed to havo
committed suicide. Ho nt least has disap
peared under peculiar circumstances. For
the last two years Ledolln has been nn
enthusiastic aeronaut. He has made long
biilkou voynges. Invuiinbly alone. He nlso
has been experimenting for the' last year,
periodically nnnotinclng he was on tho point
of Inventing apparatus which would solve
the problem of aerial navigation.
On Wednesday one of his friends here.
Hoi ert llonleur. received n letter signed
Ledolln, saying the writer wns tired of

voyngo to eternity. llonleur hnbteiied to
his frle"l'n house, w'-.nrr be -'Iscovered 'hat
Ledolln had iaMc! uwey In ' In balloon nt

touted to such nocturnal excursions, sus
pected nothing and helped his master to

From that time to this nothing has been
heard of Ledolln.' Notices have been sent
to every community in France. Ilewnrdt
for Information have been offerrd through

It Is believed Hint Ledolln sought death
either by Jumping out when the halloou

IHCIILIN. .T.iii. 2G.--In tho lower house of
the Diet today, dutlng the debate on the
agricultural estimates, the Imperial ehnu
ccllor, Count von lluelow. made an Impor
tant pronouncement on the subject of the
piotectlon of agriculture, ns follows.
"Fully recognizing the present conditions
of ngrlcullure and animated by a desire
to effectually improve It, the Prussian gov
ernment has resolved to endeavor to se
cure adequate protective duties for agri
cultural products, nnd. therefore, an In
crease of the present rates sulllelcnt to nt
tain that end. The government Is also
nuxinus tn expedlto In eveiy way the Intro
duction of a new tarlif bill."
The announcement wns greeted with loud
cl.ee rs.
A motion of Count von Llnhurg-Stlrum,
demanding Increased protection for agricul
ture, was adopted by 2.1S to 13 votes.
Preceding the vote Dr. llnrthn, tho frels
slnnlge leader, said that whoever agreed
with tho motion faNnred an Increase of the
customs duties nt the risk of no new com
mercial treaties being secured with other
nations. In which the vital Interests of mil
lions of working people wero Involved.
Count von Zrdlitz denied that it would
prevent now treaties being negotiated, eapo-
daily with Hiissla. Herr Ulchter said tho
radicals would place themselves In line with
tho social democrats In order to combat
social democracy. Increased duties being
fertile soil In which socialistic Ideas thrive.

LONDON. Jan. 2ii.-(New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram.) Justin Mc
Carthy. In nn especially written forecast on
"The New Helgn in Unglaud." suys:
"I do not look for any considerable
change of political life In Knglnnd because
King F.dwul'd Vll has succeeded his mother,
(Juien Victoria, on the Kngllsh throne, hut
my reason for this comfortable conviction
Is not by tiny mentis founded on tho belief
dint the new king Is likely to follow the
course taken by his mother In presiding
over the ulTnlrs of state, or that he Is pos
Himed with the same intelligent faith In tho
principle of constitutional rule or the sumo
high sentltnentB with regard to the duties
of u sovereign ns those which guided the
conduct of the lato queen. II Is not too
much to say of Victoria (lint Mm was the
llrst constitutional monarch who eor sat
on tho llirono of Kuglatid. Victoria was a
woman whose every nctlon In public and
private llfo appears to have been guided
by a strict sense of duty. Her Ideas wero
always exalted and expanded and sho made
Il her business to study carefully every
question submitted for her decision and
her knowledge of political nffulrs nt homo
and abroad was both wide and accurate, Sho
was, above all things, a constitutional sov
ereign; that is to suv, while sho expressed
her own views and endeavored ho far n.
she fairly could to Impress her own Judg
ment upon her constlliitlounl urivlr.crs, sho
always yielded In the end to the decision
of those who were for the lime the ac
credited representatives of Parliament nnd
the people. We nil know now and have
known It for a long time, on tho uuthurlty
of documents published In authenticated
volumes. I lint In more I ban one great crisis
her Judgment was proved hy tho course ot
events lo be right and that of her constitu
tional advisers, wrong. We know, for in
stnnee, in the case of die Crimean war that
the policy vhlch she recommended Is now
sei down hv the Judgment of history to
l.nvp been tho tight policy, nud not merely
was she right in tho opinion at which sho
arrived, but that her ron'snns for holding
that opinion have found their jiistillcatlnn
In subsequent events. Hut the queen, never
theless, acted In the true spirit of a con
stitutional sovereign when she allowed her
own Judgment to bo overborne for a time
hy thoso whom the majority of tho people
had under the cxfstlug system declared In
be tho accredited representatives of tho na.
tlnnal will.
"To take another illustration, Iho queen
wns undoubtedly right when, at (ho open
ing of the great American civil war, sho
Mi herself steadily against Ihe unfriendly,
even hostile policy, which tome leading
members of the government wero Inclined
to :iursue toward the federal states. Tho
I queen's advice found on that occasion ro
much support from tho most enllchtcncu
members of tho cabinet that sho was uhlo
to make her Judgment prevail and thus
nvert a (nlaniltous quarrel between tho
two great Kiigllsh-speaklng communities.
There Is every 'renson to believe that din
queen wus much opposed to the policy
which led to (he war In South Afrlcu ami
sho did as much ns she could constitution,
ally do lo seciiie n peaceful settlement of
the questions then forced up for dispute.
No SerloiiN Chmiut l prclrd,
"When I say the succession of tho prluco
of Wules to tho Kngllsh throne Is not likely
to mnko much serious change in the polltlcnl
life ot tho state I am not expressing tho
opinion that the present sovereign Is likely
to be Inspired by the same principles or poti
sestrd of an Intelligence nml a trmperaineii'
of the same order as the Intelligence and
temperament ot the lute queen. Nothing
that we know of the prince of Wales' life
Justifies nny such conch slou. With polltlcul
evenis hb has had so far little or nothing to
do. nnd his concern has been for Iho most
part with the mere feremonlal nml pagean
try of royalty. Ho undoubtedly has made
hlmtelf very popular by his frequent pres
ence and genial ways nt nil manner of pub
lie entertainments nnd ceremonials which
had anything to do with cliarltnblo or edu
cational purpuses. He has encouraged
literature, art and Industry by his readltiet.s
to lake part In every public gathering which
had to do with tho promotion of such ob
jects. Ho has been grently assisted In all
this benevolent work by tho eo-oporatlon
nnd companionship of his wife, now queen,
whore sMnpnthy nnd help were always glvu
with the most cheerful nnd generous readi
ness to every beneficent nskoelatlou, hut
we all know ho has lived a life of pleasure
for the most part, nnd It would bo most Idle
affectation lo pretend to uny doubt as to the
llilluouco he has exercised over tho jireiP
part of Kngllsh social life. Tho society ho
gathered around hint during a great manv
years at iho .Marlborough house wns not
exactly the kind of society In which U
mother could possibly have been expected
lo mingle, nt which his father could have
sanctioned. H Is quUo ceiinln that mnny
members, of the older nobility of Knglnnd
kept thenmelvoB absolutely aloof from what
may bo enllcd the prluco of Walea' court. I
think It Is not too miirh to say that u man
waH always welcome thero who had plenty
of money to spend or to lend, no matter
how ho had come possessed of die inonev.
nnd that women were nlwnys welcome thorn
who Imd personal beauty and captlvattti t
maniitrs. no matter how tho Inlluenco of
her beauty nml her cultivations may have
been exercised. Of lato years tho prince
was no doubt becoming moro quiet nnd or
derly in his private llfo. but thero Is cor
talnly no reuton to assume that his ln
fluuneo ns a sovereign will take qulto tho
same direction ns dint of Victoria. In
choosing his companions tho prluco nnver
scorns to havo given nny Indication of liking
for 'the society of men of Intellect, grnar
authors, great schnlnrs, eminent artists qr
leading statesmen On either side of the
political field, unquestionably, he was al
ways pleased to meet colrhrltlM, and wh'ti
a mnn hail made himself the object of
great popular Interest lm was likely to re
tttvo a welcomo from nr wns even sought
out by the prince. For this reas on It some-
