Funeral of Christian of

ROYALTY IN ATTENDANCE.
Minister O'Brien's Simple Costume
Is in Contrast With Gorgeous
Uniforms "of Represent -'
tives of Other Nations.
ROSKILDE. Denmark. Feb. 1.-In lhe
magnificent old Gothic Church here this
afternoon, the ' body ot Kins Christian
IX. amid the thunder of guns, the
sonorous tones of the organ and the
blare of trumpets, was laid to rest with
the long line of his predecessors on the
Danish throne whose remains repose in
the chapel in Roskilde's .stone fane.
The coffin lay in the chancel beneath a
black and gold bladachln supported by
high officers In full dress uniforms. The
only decoration pn it was a .golden
branch, a tribute from the children of
Denmark. Ieanfng against the altar
rails were floral tributes from foreign
monarchs and members of the Danish
royal family.
The choir was filled with members of
the clergy whose quaint "black gowns
and white ruffs' formed a striking back
ground to the blaze of gold-laced uni
forms of the diplomatic . body occupying
the corner of the choir. " Here Mr.
O'Brien, the American Minister, in sim
ple evening dress, was a remarkable ex
ception. As Mr. O'Brien was personally
representing President Roosevelt, the
Danish government had given him an
attache of honor, M. Scavcnlus, of the
Foreign Office.
Galleries Arc Filled With Ladies.
The left of the church was reserved for
the Ministers and "the court and state of
ficials, while on the right were the mem
bers of the RIgsdag. The galleries and
Side aisles were filled with ladles. The
st-ene was brilliant in the extreme, the
only sign of mourning being, the black
floor cloth, which served to throw relief
on the bright 'colors and the flashing
gold and silver lace ot the uniforms of
The military deputations and foreign
suites which awaited the arrival of the
royal mourners near the entrance of the
church.
Members of the Rigsdag and Folkething
having placed wreaths on the coffin. Just
before 2 o'clock, Queen Alexandra, the
Dowager Empress of Russia, the Queen
of Denmark, the Duchess of Cumberland,
and the other royal ladles emerged fltrom
the apse and seated themselves in the
front row at the left of the coffin. Then
a stir of the door of the cathedral her
alded, the arrival of the King, and while
the organ played Beethoven's majestic
funeral march the royal procession swept
tip the center aisle. King Frederick was
attired as a Danish. -General.
Kaiser In Danish Uniform.
Emperor TVUHam In the uniform of a
Dantsh Admiral, walked at his left and
the King of Greece at his right, both
keeping a little behind him. King Haakon
and the other royal' personages and the
representatives of foreign sovereigns fol
lowed. At the catafalque. Dr. Rordam, primate
of the Danish church, with Dr. Paull,
court chamberlain, and Dr. Bondo. dean
of the cathedral, awaited the King. The
royal party took seats with the royal
families. King Frederick sat nearest
the altar with Queen Louisa next to
whom sat Emperor William. Then were
seated Queen Alexandra, King George of
Greece, the Dowager Empress of Russia,
Marie Feodorovna, King Haakon, the
Duchess of Cumberland and the Duke
and Duchess of Mecklenburg-Schwerin.
The Duke of Cumberland saj In the sec
ond row, two places removed from Em
peror William. The foreign representa
tives sat behind the crown Prince of
Slam, conspicuous in a gray uniform.
The service began with the singing of
a hymn and then Dr. Roram delivered a
long sermon, touching on the principal
incidents of the King's reign, dwelling
on the great economical and political
strides under his beneficent rule and
addressing consoling words to the many
bereaved royal personage? throughout
Europe. The sermon was followed by an
other hymn, the royal mourners joining
In tho singing.
Carried by Eight Officers.
Then, to the strains of the funeral
march composed, by Hartmann on the
occasion of the death In 1844 of Albert
Beitcl Thorvaldsen, Denmark's great
sculptor, which was accompanied by
trumpets artd cymbals, eight officers car
ried the coffin from the chancel across
to the Chapel of Frederick.
As the solemn notes pealed forth thb
windows of the cathedral were shaken by
a salute of 21 guns from a battery out
side, while simultaneously in the town
all flags were hoisted from half-mast
to the masthead in honor of the new
King.
A short .wait ensued while the coffin
was being deposited in the sarcophagus.
Then King Frederick, and Queen Louisa,
followed by Emperor William and Queen
Alexandra, whom the Emperor assisted
from her chair, and King Haakon and
the dowager Empress of Russia, the
four walklngabreast, proceeded to the
ehapef. where Dr. Paull read the burial
service in the presence only of royal per
sonages, the foreign representatives and
Ministers.' Earth being thrice thrown
upon the coffin, the Lord's prayer was re
peated and the service concluded with
the benediction.
Students' Ode to ivlng.
A most impressive conclusion was
given to the ceremony by the rendering
of a special ode to the King, which a
ultilr of students sang unaccompanied.
sc royal mourners lingered while the
lJ.ery fired minute guns and the in
fantry three volleys. Having knelt for
some time the royal personages rever
ently kissed the catafalque and the ladles,
having placed fresh flowers on the coffin,
all departed in the same order that they
entered the church.
The mourners had luncheon at the Lit
tle Palace close to the cathedral and
then drove to the statloli, which they
left at 4:30 o'clock for Copenhagen. The'
party presented a strikingly multi-colored
spectacle after the service, the uniforms
of practically every army in. Europe be
ing seen.
It is said that the value of the wreaths
and flowers of. gold and silver received
since the King's death Is about $100,000.
WATCH EMPEROR'S MOVEMENT
Copenhagen Excited Over the Visit
of Kaiser Wilhelm.
COPENHAGEN. Feb. IS. The city pre
sented a scene of animation throughout
the day, the presence ot Emperor William
and the curiosity manifested over his
movements adding lh no little Tray to the
excitement and serving in a measure to
divert men's minds from the solemn cere
mony at Reekllae, the burial of King
Christian.
There was a cejts-t&nt stream ef people
passing through the streets, which were
draped with crape and flags, on their way
to the station to take trains for Roekilde.
Baron de Courcel. head of the special em
bassy sent to represent France at the
burial, wrote his name In Emperor Will
iam's visitors book during the morning,
and an hour later the Emperor sent his
card to the Hotel Bristol, where Baron
de Courcel is registered. The Baron fori
merly was French Ambassador.
Toward 1 o'clock the royal mourners
were respectfully greeted by a bareheaded
crowd when they arrived at the station
for Roskllde. King Frederick and Em
peror William drove to the station in the
same carriage. The royal train started
at 1 o'clock. n earlier train having taken
the Ministers, diplomats and others to the
number of 1600.
In the afternoon requiem services were
held in all the churches In Copenhagen
and throughout the country. On the re
turn of the mourners at Roskilde at S
o'clock this evening the Queen and joidc
of the other royal personages immediately
drove to the Amllienborg Castle, while
Emperor William, accompanied by King
Frederick and the Danish Crown Prince,
and Princes Waldemar and Harold, drove
to the free port and boarded the German
battleship Preusscn, on board which the
Danish guests remained for 15 minutes.
After cordial leave-takings. Emperor
William accompanied the royal guests to
their carriages, and then returned to the
ship. Ten minutes later Baron de Courcel
and the members of his mission visited
the "Emperor on board the PrcosMn and
His Majesty and Baron de Courcel en
gaged in a conversation of 20 minutes'
duration on deck and in smoking-room.
The Emperor was most cordial and assist
ed the French Ambassador to don his fur
lined coat when he was leaving the war
ship. Baron de Courcel and the other mem
bers of his mission will leave for Berlin
tomorrow, instead of Tuesday, as had pre
viously been arranged.
At 6:30 o'clock this evening the Preusscn
sailed for Kiel, the great crowd which had
.gathered on the pier loudly cheering Em
peror William, who stood on the deck
smilingly acknowledging tho oration.
King Edward Attends Service.
LONDON, Feb. IS. King Edwara
and members of the royal family at
tended a memorial service for King
Christian at St- James today. The Arch
bishop of Canterbury and the Bishop
of London officiated. The congrega
tion included Mr. Reid. the American
Ambassador, and the other Ambassa
dors to the Court of St. James and the

service was held at Westminster
Abbey.
Frederick Made an Admiral.
COPENHAGEN. Feb. JS. The Na
tional Tidehde says that Emperor
William has appointed King Frederick
an honorary Admiral In the German
navy.
DIRECTORS' LIVELY TIME
Tyrce Said to Have Made Threats
and to Have Been Called.
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. IS. It devel
oped today that a very stormy meeting
of the directors of the Continental Life
Insurance Company was held here yes
terday. The meeting was concerned
mostly wlth the affairs of the Western
Agencies Company, a subsidiary company.
One claim was raised that the contract
between tfie two concerns was illegal, beN
cause it was alleged to have been ratified
at a meeting of the Continental directors
when there was not a quorum present.
The directors who attended yesterday's
meeting were Dr. T. V. McGUlcuddy.
George E. AmeB, Charles Webb Howard,
C Carpy, Garvin McNab and Emll Pohll.
It is said that President Tyrce, of the
Continental, who was also present, made
threats of violence against one of the
directors and that the, director declared
to Tyree:
"If you've got any shooting to do, do
it now."
After a very animated session the di
rectors decided to uphold President Tyree
until the criminal proceedings against
him at Salt Lake arc adjusted, when It
was stated a demand will be made for
his resignation.
F. M. Ralff, manager of the Western
Agencies Company, resigned his office,
giving as a reason that he refused to
be further associated with Tyree. Ralff
demanded an immediate financial settle
ment for his services and was given a
check on a local bank. One director de
clared that when Ralff presented the
check the bank refused to cash it, al
though admitting that there was plenty
of money deposited to Tyree's credit. The
reason alleged to have been giyen for
the refusal was that Tyree's affairs were
In such condition that the bank did not
feel satisfied to pay out the amount de
manded. It is said that the bank has
since reconsidered Its action and will cash
the check tomorrow.
Resignations of director oQ the Con
tinental are looked for within the next
few days. '
GERMANY FEELS INSULTED
Chinese Minister at Washington Said
to Have Talked Too Freely.
BERLIN, Feb. 19. Special.) A sensa
tion has resulted in diplomatic circles
here from the cabling of what purports to
be an interview at Washington with the
Chinese Minister to the United States, Sir
Chehtung Liang Cheng, in which the lat
ter is quoted as saying:
"Since the dawn of your civilization, the
Germans have been disturbers of the
peace and repose of other people and
nations within what Is now the Christian
domain. They seem always discontented
with what they have. Their energy "sp-1
pears to demand the whole world In which
to bustle."
The Chinese Minister is then said to
have intimated that the present discon
tent in China is due to German measures
and German plots, and is alleged to have
further intimated that the German gov
ernment, or its agents, is giving support
to the revolutionary movement which has
for Its object the overthrow of the present
reigning dynasty In China.
Thl6 is absolutely and emphatically de
nied here, but none of tho members of
the Foreign Office would discuss the mat
ter until the authenticity of the alleged
interview could be substantiated.
It is Understood that a long cable dis
patch was received from Baron von Stern
berg, German Ambassador to the United
States, Sunday, bearing on the- subject.
If it should prove that the statement ot
Sir Liang Cheng can 3c substantiated
there is a possibility that China will be
asked to disavow his remarks..

ment. so often referred to in high-sounding
phrases for the purpose of misleading
some who think there Is an occult force in
its provisions which only the eminently
wise can detect, prevents a political con
vention from indorsing Its choice, for
United States Senator? Every one knows,
as a legal proposition, that it does not
bind the members of the Legislature, but
every one knows also that the will of the
people thus expressed Is generally accept
ed by their public servants. Public opin
ion Is one thing to which even the Senate
of the United States wfll yield, and all
minor lights.
Force or National Convention.
i'litt me ask you what position, from a
legal standpoint, the National convention
which nominates the President occupies?
"What binding force, as a legal proposi
tion, has the action of that convention
upon the action of the electors? From a
legal standpoint, are they not perfectly
free to select a man they like, regardless
of the action of the convention? Is It
any more a violation of the Constitution
to direct by public nomination In advance
the members of the Legislature 'than to
direct the electors for a particular man
for President?
"I think. Senator, in this matter you can
afford to be entirely candid, and If you
are, upon reflection, you will put aside
this sophistry about the Constitution.
What we aro striving to do in these days
Is to get an expression of public opinion
as a guide for public service. Somehow
there Is a feeling among the people that
our public servants need direction.
Method Indorsed by Lincoln.
"Abraham Lincoln Indorsed this pre
cise method by word and act. He did
not conceive it to be unconstitutional or
morally wrong, and perhaps was not actu
ated by 'inordinate selfishness and a de
sire to get an advantage. It was as
natural for him to get close to the peo
ple as It Is for others to get away from
them, and In the simplicity of this
faith he walked to the end of his ca
reer. "While wc feel lonesome without the
assistance of some of the groat states
men of today, there Is some consolation
to be found In the precedent set by Abra
ham Lincoln. Wc need not be afraid to
do what he did and to follow the light
of his example.
Challenge to Public Discussion.
"There are other things I would like
to say, but this is already too long. I
should be exceedingly glad If your du
ties at Washington- end in time to en
able you to enter upon a public discus
sion of this matter before the people of
this state. There Is no one In the state
so able to present your side as yourself,
and I -will depend upon the righteousness
of my cause to make up what may be
lacking in that respect.
"I expect to find time to discuss this
matter before the people in th"e different
counties of tho state before the state
convention meets, and will accommodate
Kiysclf to your, convenience in the matter
of time and place that we kmay Jointly
discuss the same."

perfect arrangements with the Chinese
government whereby a packet post and

Tolstoi to the Czar.
Harper's Weekly.
Dear Brother: I think it more fitting
to call you "dear brother," because in
this letter I am addressing myself less
to the Czar than to the man and broth
er: and, more than that, I am no longer
of this world, but standing at the thresh
old of the tomb. I do not wish to die
without telling you what I think of lour
present activity telling you what that
activity is. and what it ought to be for
the greater good of millions ot men and
for your own good; and also telling you
what a source ot evil your conduct may
be for these and for yourself If your ac
tivity continues to follow Its present
course. It is evident that you are de
luding yourself as to the people's at
tachment to autocracy, and to its repre
sentative, the Czar, because you in all
the cities are greeted by crowds who cry.
"Hurrah!" and run behind your carriage.
Such manifestations are far from being
an expression of the people's fidelity. The
crowds are nothing but inquisitive people
who follow all uncommon sights with
the same eagerness; and. generally, they
whom you take for the people's messen
gers of affection arc nothing but nedy
wretches mustered by the police to make
a show in your honor. Tolstoi.
