Ituposlnff Funeral Pageant Wit nessed by Invited Guest Sim ple Ceremonies at Grave. POTSDAM. Aug. 13. The remains of the Dowager Empress Frederick were in terred today beside those of her husband In the mausoleum of Friedenklrche, near Potsdam. Between 8 and 9 o'clock the bells of all the churches In Potsdam were tolled with two intervals of rest Shortly before 10:30 Emperor "William, the other members of the imperial family, and the visiting Princes assembled in the royal hall at the "Wild Park railroad station. The high court officials, military dignitaries, Count von Bulow and other members of the Cab inet, the Knights of the Black Eagle and the members of the Reichstag assembled at 10:23 o'clock in an adjacent halL Soon after 10 o'clock the special train, ordered by the Emperor to bring the Invited guests from Berlin, reached Wild Park station. Among the guests the foreign Ambassadors made a striking figure, wearing their highest official uniforms. The United' States Ambassador, Andrew D. White, however, was attired in simple black. He looked pale and weak and showed the traces of his recent bereave ment At 9:20 A. M. the gates of Sans Soucl Park were opened to the press and to a rew ladies connected with government and court circles. The small crowd here was rigidly kept within the prescribed limits by a military guard. The morning brought an overcast sky, with the sun feebly peering through the clouds, adding to the solemnity of the occasion. A slight breeze rustled the foliage, bringing down an occasional leaf prematurely shriveled by the drouth. The magnificent fountain beneath the Sans Soucl palace cast an Immense volume of water Into the air, the splashing of which broke the 9llence reigning In the park. While the observers waited the military organizations marched In and took up positions along the central avenue, through which the procession was to pass. Numbers of art ists from London newspapers occupied the t.me in sketching scenes In the park as settings for Illustrations. At 10:30 the signal was given that the funeral train was approaching. Conversa tion, which had hitherto been carried on In suppressed tones, entirely ceased and an air of solemnity possessed the assembly. The train rolled in slowly and noiselessly. Twenty noncommissioned officers of the Dowager Empress Hussar Regiment next came forward and bore the coffin to the royal hearse, which had in the meantime arrived torn the new palace. Chamber lains and courtiers with the royal insignia participated in the transfer of the coffin from the funeral car to the hearse. Slowly and solemnly the procession formed. Eight staff officers seized the reins of the eight splendid black horses attached to the hearse, and four Knights of the Black Eagle took hold of the points of the pall cloth, while 12 royal chamber lains held the supports of the canopy cov ering the hearse, and four other courtiers held the cords from the corners. Flank ing these, to the right and left, were two staff officers and '12 Captains. At Snns Sonet Pnrlc. It was nearly 11 o'clock when the sound of music in the distance announced the approach of the funeral procession. Far down the avenue moving masses ap peared, now and then halting for the pro cession to assume its proper order. As the procession drew near, the notes of the best-known funeral marches, played slowly and plainly, became audible, the muflled drums rolling In solemn imprcs slveness. At the bead of the procession rode Major-General von Moltke, nephew of the famous Field Marshal, In command of the military forces participating in the ceremonies. The procession was' In every way grand and solemn. The Guards' Duty Corps, with black and white pen nants fluttering at their lance points, at tracted much attention, as did the Royal Page Corps, composed of cadets from the Military Academy at Gross Llchterfelde. in bright red coats, white, tight-fitting trousers and broad hats, trimmed with white lace. After the military came the highest clerical dtenltarles of Berlin, In cluding Dr. Dryander. the court preacher, and Bishop Aszmann, the highest Catho lic military chaplain, In a resplendent purple robe. Over the head of the coffin were the Im perial colors, on which was a crown of state of massive gold and heavily Jewejed. Also on the colors was a wreath, deposited there by Emperor William, at Cronberg, and two other wreaths. Behind the coffln marched the Emperor, with head erect and displaying the greatest self-possession and dignity, but his face was pale and sorrowful, and he gazed straight for ward in a serious manner. King Edward, who was on the Emperor's left, walked heavily, and evidently found the march fatiguing. Both Emperor William and King Edward -wore the uniform of the Second Regiment of Dragoons, Queen Victoria's regiment. Ambassador White walked with the Italian Ambassador. The procession occupied 20 minutes In pasi. ing. All the bells of Potsdam continued tolling till the procession had reached the mausoleum and after the obsequies were over. The coffln was carried into the mauso leum, followed by the Empress and Em peror, King Edward and Queen Alexan dra, the royal Princes and other mem bers of royal families, the rest of those present remaining outside during the last ceremonies. After the body had been lowered Into the vault, the choir from Perlln Cathedral sang "Christ Is the Res urrection," by Grell. A prayer followed, and then the choir sang "Be Faithful Unto Death," by Neldhart This was the only service. In the meanwhile the Em peror stood beside the tomb In a most solemn manner. There was no weeping, but King Edward frequently used his handkerchief, for beads of perspiration were coursing down his brow. After the brief ceremony the royal party withdrew and the Invited guests, military men. diplomats, statesmen, etc, filed in for the last hasty view of the coffln. The royal party left tho park at 12:25 P. M. In the first carriage was Queen Alexan dra on the right and the Empress on the left. The second carriage contained King Edward on the right and Emperor Wil liam on the left Numerous court car riages bore away the Invited guests and dignitaries to their homes or to the rail road, and the crowd rapidly dispersed. While Emperor William excluded all kodaks and photographers' apparatus from Wild Park, he ordered a special photographer and also a klnetographer to take views of the procession. Fear of Disturbances. NEW YORK, Aug. 13. Commenting upon the reports from Germany in con nection with the funeral of the Dowager Empress, one statement toeing that even the inhabitants of Victoria street, Pots dam, will not be allowed to stand In their own front gardens during the passage of the funeral procession, the London corre spondent of the Tribune says: "Great popular discontent Is said to pre vail on account of these stringent regula tions, which are probably due to fears of anarchist disturbances.

Sympathetic Comment on the Italian Statesman's Death. BERLIN, Aug. 13. The papers com ment sympathetically upon the death of Slgnor Crlspl, but they do not ignore the great defects In his character. The strongest emphasis is laid upon his un varying good will toward Germany, his fidelity to the triple- alliance and his friendship for Bismarck. The Berliner Post says: "Germany must not forget that in 1870 It was chiefly owing to Crlspi's energetic action that Italy did not support France." The Vosslche Zeltung and other jour nals make the same point The Nord Deutsche Allgemalne Zeltung closes a brief and cordial review of his career In tnte strain: "Thus it is befitting us gratefully to honor the memory of the man who was a zealous promoter- of the Central Eu ropean alliance and a friend of Germany from conviction." The National Zeltung considers It char acteristic that the fact of Crlspi's death was made known to Count von Bulow after it was sent to the King of Italy. Kaiser's Tribute to Crlspl.

The House of Com mons passed the factories bill to a third reading last night after a heated debate, which arose out of the action of the gov ernment In withdrawing a clause includ ing laundries within the scope of the bill, because the Nationalists strongly object ed to official inspection of the Catholic conventional laundries, on the ground that such inspection would be subversive of tho discipline it is necessary to maintain In reformatory laundries conducted by nuns for fallen women.

If the com pany refuses to pay the tav, suit will at once be brought to collect It If the cor poration consents to pay the tax, It will have qualified, It is claimed, merely to do a legal business In the state. The Secretary of SUte and Attorney-General say they are convinced that the constitu ent companies are doing an Illegal busi ness In the state, in that they are con nected with a trust, and whether the United States Steel Corporation pays tho tax or not, proceedings will be brought agilnnt the Ohio companies under the anti-trust laws. The State of Ohio has no jurisdiction over the United States Steel Corporation as a whole, and If the corporation's return to the Secretary of State satisfies him that It cannot qualify to do business In Ohio, It Is possible that the Attorney-General of the United States and the Attorney-General of all states where the steel trust operates" may be asked to bring proceedings against it Attorney-General Sheets admitted that such a course Is within the range of possibili ties, but declined to make a statement as to his probable action.

A London dis patch quotes the Glasgow Herald as eay lng that throughout the greater part of Scotland August 12 shooting opened auspilcously, as far as the weather was concerned, but later In the day thun der and lightning were pretty general and In some districts limited the shooting to a few hours. The condition of the moors was also wonderfully good, considering the severity of the thunder and rain storm of Saturday, for the wind and sun of Sun day had fairly dried up all traces of the downpour. Preliminary reports from the moors had given promise of excellent eport, for they were almost unanimous in Baying that thto year sportsmen would find better sport than for several years past, as everywhere the birds were in better trim, healthier, plumper and In more uniform condition than last year. This marked improvement Is due to the absence of severe weather before and dur ing nesting time, and to the absenccralso of heavy rainfalls after the hatching. There has been an unusual rnn on th moors this season. Practically none of the better class moors and forests will be tenantless,, every good quarter having been fixed up months ago. It appears aleo that the names of Americans figure more prominently in leases than usual. Sargent Cram, of New York, has taken the north and south Deanbeath moors, Caithness, and will have for a. near neigh bor In he upper and lower Forse, W. P. Cllgue, aleo of New York, but neither arrived In time for the opening day. Both are expected from New York this week, however. According to the Yorkshire Post, a large party of .American ladles and gen tlemen have arrived at Holwlck Hall by special train on the MIddlesex-on-Tees Valley Railroad, but it Is definitely an nounced that W. C. Whitney will not be In Teesdale during the shooting season. NEW YORK, Aug. 13. Reports from the northern moors In today's Journals are more elaborate than the Parliamentary discussions of the war news of an army of 250,000 soldiers, says the Tribune's Lon don correspondent.
