EDWARD-VU BESTS AMONG ANCESTORS SCENES IN LONDON STREETS ATTENDING GREAT PAGEANT SIMILAR TO THAT OF YESTERDAY Pomp Greater Than Is Ever Seen Before Marks His Funeral Ceremony. I 'iguil 'fliillliiii THRONGS SILENTLY MOURN 1 4 , i . It : London Crowded With Vast Assem blage 'Watching Cortege More Through Streets Nine Rulers of Nations Attend Services. LOXDON, May 20. Sovereigns and representatives of the powers of ajl the world paid their last tribute today to England's great monarch, Edward VII, whose body now rests in St. George's chapel. at Windsor Castle, where the bones of Edward IV. the sixth and eighth Henrys, Charles I, the third and fourth Georges and Wll lfam IV are entombed. Bright sunshine followed a night of thunder storms that swept the city, and soaked the funeral decorations that hung along the line of march. They had no deterrent effect on the thou sands who from midnight until dawn sought points of vantage from which to watch the passing cortege, however, i Crowds Greatest Ever Known. London's millions filled the streets and open places as they have nev'er before been filled at either funeral or festival. The pageantry that marked the burial of Victoria was as naught com pared with the magnificence of today's ceremony, which, was splandid in its accompaniments of gilded coaches, brilliant uniforms and decorations, far surpassing the ceremony attending the removal of the King's body from-Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall. Nine Sovereigns In. Line. The procession today included nina sovereigns; an ex-President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, who alone was not In uniform; the heirs to several thrones; the members of the royal families; the officers of the households; the officials ot the gov ernment; field marshals, generals and admirals; detachments of troops, of all the. British arms, representatives of foreign armies and navies in varie gated uniforms a solid phalanx of glittering colors. The linea of red-coated, soldiers were drawn tit as on that other great oc casion of England's mourning, nine years ago, with arms reversed and regimental flags dipped to the ground. Throngs Mourn Silently. ' The -wast throngs along the streets were massed so tightly that they found it im possible to move. The great stands, covered with mourning emblems, were crowded, the roof tops black with the multitude, from whom not a whisper arose, as the gun carriage that bore the King's body moved to the strains of fu neral marches, the tolling of toe-lls and the booming of minute guns. rrom Westminster Hall the .widowed Queen, going to spend a last few minutes beside the body of the King, was as sisted from her carriage by the German Emperor, upon whom the loss of his royal uncle has rested heavily. log and Horse Move Queen. The Emperor kissed the hand and cheek of Alexandra and passed her to her son. King George. Here the Queen Mother, glancing up, caught sight of the King's charger, waiting to follow his master to tl bier, and- near at hand the King's favorite dog, led by a gillie, and she faltered, gripping the arm of the King and pathetically gazing upon he animals Edward' had loved so well. Then she entered the hall with King George, Emperor William and the Duke of Vnnaught, there to offer a silent prayer and to watch the removal of the uoffin to -the gun carriage. The order of precedence of sovereigns in the procession was governed by kin ship. The special envoys of the United States and France occupied the eighth carriage.- and although ex-President Roosevelt was inconspicuous in the pro cession. King George gave Wm marked attention at the lunch at Windsor castle after the funeral, seating him with eight other guests at his own table. The Ger man Emperor sat with the Queen Mother and Queen Mary. Solemn Dignity Impresses. What seemed to Impress Mr. Roosevelt most was the demeanor of the people, the solemn dignity of the ceremony. From Paddlngton station the royal train t-arried the coffin and mourners to Windsor, while special trains were filled with officials and foreign representa tives. Bluejackets dragged the gun carriage through a line of purple to St. George's chapel and there simple services were conducted by the Archbishops of Canter bury and York, assisted by other pre lates. King George, with Alexandra oft his arm. walked up the nave behind the coffin, with the Gorman Emperor and Queen Mary following. During the service the widowed Queen moved to the foot of the catafalque and knelt, and Just before the coffin was low ered to the crypt. King George placed on the coffin a royal standard. Several of the royal mourners, includ ing Archduke Francis Ferdinand of Aus tria ani Prince Charles of Sweden, left London tonight, but all the reigning inonarens remain, and the King and Queen had another notable dinner party at Buckingham Palace this evening. The departure of the sovereigns will begin tomorrow, but the German Emperor is expected to stay until Monday night. WINDSOR DRAPED IN PURPLE Green of English Spring Is Covered With Symbols of Mourning. WINDSOR, May 20. When the castle gates at Windsor opened today to receive the casket of the seventh Edward, the green of an English Spring was on 'the trees and the grass within the massive walls. The gray towers and battlements, over which the Union Jack was flying at half mast, never appeared more impres sive. In the streets below was a seething mass of people in black with a lane kept open by two solid lines of soldiers for the cortege to pass through. When the royal train arrived at the station, the body of the monarch was again placed on a gun carriage and the procession was re formed with the addition of the Am bassadors, Ministers and other represen tatives of foreign states. Thus it passed through the purple-draped streets to the castle and into St. George's chapeU There was a moment of profound si lence when positions had been taken, and then the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of Winchester advanced to the, casket. The choir chanted "Man That Is Born of Woman," and the congregation re cited, the Lord's Prayer, the low rum- 1W 7, -Ir v- ble of many voices being accompanied by Gounod s music. The service of the Church of England was followed throughout. Following the Lord's Prayer, the anthem, "How Blest Are They" was sung, after which the Gar. ter-King-at-Arms advanced to the al tar and spoke. The Archbishop of Canterbury pro nounced the solemn benediction, after which, with the Bishop of Winchester, he knelt before the altar In a moment of silent prayer. As the clergy rose to their feet the hush was broken and the procession withdrew from the chapel in the order of Its entrance. The body of Edward VII remained before the altar, later to find a permanent resting place in the royal tomb house in Albert Memorial Chapel. BANK CLEARINGS GROW PORTIA-VD LEADS AIIj CITIES BUT TWO IN INCREASE. Growth and Prosperity Are Shown In Gains Over Last Year and by Comparisons. Portland's gains in hank clearings are clearly shown by Brad streets compara tive figures of all leading American cities and by comparisons with clearings for the same time a year ago, which indi cate a gain of 58.3 per cent for this city, a record equaled by but two other towns. As an indication of Portland's growth and prosperity, the comparisons are most signilicant. The two cities which showed a greater gain than Portland's Jump of 68.3 per cent over the week ending May 18, 1909, are Oakland, Cal., which shows an increase over last year of 70.4 per cent, and Sacra mento, Cal., which boasts a gain of 76.1. To the movement of a gigantic orange crop is ascribed the tremendous bulge In the California cities. . Seattle Left Behind. That Portland should thus rank third in the country is a factor that cannot be neglected by those pointing to the city's growth. Just how solid this growth Is in comparison with other cities Is seen by a comparison of the figures of Port land and Seattle. While Portland's week totals" are slightly below those of Seattle, the increase in the case of Portland Is 58.3 per cent, while the city on Elliot Bay has to be content with an Increase of 17.1 per cent. In the list published by Bradstreet's but seven cities show signs of a decreased clearing and this small number is one of the surest signs of returning pros perity. A year ago a number of cities had to mourn decreases, which in part accounts for the unusual size of a num ber of the Increases this year. New York Responsible. In the whole country, the decrease from the corresponding week of last year is $167,983,000. This would not appear an indication of returning prosperity were it not that New York alone is almost responsible for the whole amount, re cording a decrease of 11 per cent. This decrease is said to have been due to the attacks on Wall street and the reduced amounts that have been available in "the street" for speculation.

PEORIA, 111., May 20. The joint con vention between the United Mine workers and -Illinois operators ad journed sine die today. A strike was declared by the miners. This strike affects the entire State of Illinois and will involve between 72,000 and 75,000 men. and it is said that in the miners' strike fund there is now about $750,000, or $10 per man The mines already have been suspended for 50 days without this f und abelng drawn on, but it appears insufficient for a prolonged strike.

Possibly a Difference. PORTLAND. Or.. May 19. (To the Ed itor.) Doubtless due to a misunderstanding-. I am misquoted In The Oresoimiii'i Recount of the State Grange meeting; In Oregon City May 11 as having advocated special taxation on timber land to provide a fund for fire prevention by the state. I did urge atate assistance in Are patrol, for forest wealth is community wealth, and Its loss is borne chiefly by the people at large, but not through taxing standing timber. My only recommendation concerning taxation was that owners of cut and burned-over lands, capable of producing no early revenue, should be Induced to- xrotect and reforest them by imposing little tax until a second crop affords means of paying it. .
