MAYOR DISCOMFITED. -A
unique illustration of British ad
herence to tradition marked the sign
ing of the proclamation at St. James'
oalace. The lord mayor is also one of
the signers, whereupon, according to the
view of the privy councillors, he must
retire before the king enters and the
speeches are made. An ancient pic
ture represents the lord mayor among
the receivers of th-? king, therefore the
mayors invariably claim this right.
Wednesday, however, the Duke of Dev

requested the lord mayor to leave the
room, which he reluctantly did.

230.000 Is one estimate of the total
amount to be paid out by English com

life, but w-ho had no relation whatever
to the queen. Such policies would not
