CHARLES HEILBORN & SON
expressed themselves as profoundly
touched by the manifestations of sym
pathy in America.
To th? American, the ceremonials
with all their theatrical trappings of
royalty, wvre not more impressive than
the fv.n"ral of a ohlef magistrate rh s
en by the people. Kings and princes
beneath silver helmets and wearing
goldbraidcd coats, were men, but the
sigh; of the king riding after the coffin
of his mother and queen, with four oth
er king and half a hundred of the
highest royalties of European dynas
ties following, and the hereditary at
taches of the court, was one never to b?
forgotten.
The popular monnlng was less gen
ual and ostentatious than it would
have teen in the United States. The
whole ceremonial. Including the mass
ing of 30.000 troops and the entertaln
Ment of all visiting personages was an
admirable example of organiiatn n.
This city tonight has somewhat of a
holiday appearance, thousands parad
ing the streets. Restaurants and sal
oons are doing a tremendous business.
Hospitals cared for 1300 person who
were Injured In the crowd.
Political phases are being discussed.
The remarkable predominance, i f Ger
mans and German influences is note
worthy. Emperor William's officers,
soldiers and sailors were more consp c
uous In all the cerenionUs than those
of all other nations together. This had
tlu effect of pot ular zing Germany with
the people, who recently regarded her
as their irost menaolng enemy.
It is evident that Englishmen realize
that Edward's reign begins confronted
by a commercial crisis and political
dangers which give a shadow of anx
iety to there mourning for the queen.
Tonight the queen's body lie in Al
bert chip'! at Windsor guarded faith
fully awaiting the last rites. Jt was
at Windsor that the only hitches in
the elaborate program of the day oc
curred, and these, added to rather than
detracted from the dramatic and pa
thetic Interest.
The first and most striking was the
intractability of th.? horses attached to
the gun carriage bearing the coffin, j
They struggled in their traces and the
coffin waa almost thrown from the gun
carriage. Lord Roberts asked the king
for pormlrsion to take out the horses
and substitute for them .Jackie who
had come up from Portsmouth a a
guard of honor. This suggestion was
quickly sanctioned and the last time
Victoria's body was borne before her
subjects it was by her royal "hand
men." The other hitch occurred dining the
rellgicus part of the ceremony. The
service at St. George's chapel was brief
but beautiful. The trembling old Arch-
bithop of Canterbury, who is almost
blind, had scarcely ended the final bene
diction before he turned to go up the
altar steps. His sight and strength
failed him and he tottered, groped and
was on the jolnt of falling when the
Archbishop of York caught his band
and gently led th venerable prelate' to
liant gathering was received by the
king an! queen with the briefest de
lay. The coffin was reverently removed by
an officer and twelve grenadiers and
deposited. The pall, with the crown
on a cushion, the xe8alia and the in
signia of the Garter were placed there
on, and the procession marshalled ahead
became mobile.
LONDON THRONGED.
LONDON. Feb. 2. The gray dawn of
a London morning, with the sky draped
with fleecy clouds, proclaimed Ideal
conditions for the funeral of England's
queen. The calm serenity of the at
mosphere was reflected by the crowds
which at daylight began to as-mble
at every point of vantage along fhe
route of the royal obsequies.
The early scenes were unlike those
of many spectacular da-9 which Lon
don has witnessed in the past year.
The crowds which so eaily gathered
in the streets this mcrning evinced an
entire lack of feverish unrest and ex
citement. The great masses of pol'cJ

(Which UASeuiuicu pnanioni-iiiie oi me
j grayness of the morning, seemed more
apologetically to tiptoe to their a lotted
stations, as though their presence re
flected on the solemnity dominating
everywhere.
Never did a concourse of people so
little need either civil or' military' guid
ance. No man standing by his moth
er's bier ever needed aimon'tion ltss
than did these hundreds of thousands
of men and women, gathered from all
parts of the kingdom on the funeral
route of their mother, the queen.
The strangest part of all was the
fact that the women seemed to out
number the men. White-ribboned nurs- j
es marked almost every yard, along the
route, just as the Marys of old gath
ered .beneath the. cross at the greatest
of all spectacles of human grief, so
women today were in the forefront at
the burial of the queen. Troops there
were, to be sure, thousands upon thou
sands, assembling spectre-like out of
the morning mist, their blue black
overcoats and bearskins deepening the
note of mourning pervading everything.
In the great green spaces of Hyde
Park, St. James and others these long
biacK lines stand silhouetted ugamst
th'i. morning sky, solemn, silent and
picturesque, staunchly stemming the
on-rush of that endless flood of people
pouring in from every street and ave
nue. Purple was the tone of the royiM
mourning and this seemed almost a
relief, contrasted with these silent
masses of black-garbed crowds. It
was the true note, after all, of the day's
ceremonial, for no one among Eng
land's heart-stricken people could look
upon the finished life of their queen
with feelings of entire gloom.
The troops began to move less ear
ly than on proclamation day. That was
the day of the official pronouncement
of the authority of the king and the
streets were closed as If by magic and
IN THE HOUSE.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 2. Representa
tive Jonea of Washington has Intro
duced In the house a bill providing that
after January 1, 1903, no foreign vessel
should enter any port of the United
St ttes carrying products other than the
products of the country whose Mag

The house committee on marine and
fisheries has received a letter from
General Dumont, supervising Inspector
of steam vessel, endorsing the bill to
require the inspection of naptha launch
es and other craft propelled by gas,
naptha, etc., which carry passengers
or freight, without regard to the ton
nage of the vessel..
The act to be amended fixed the min
imum limit of tonnage of vessels to
be inspected at fifteen tons. General
Dumont wrote that vessels slightly un
der fifteen tons on the Western waters
run in competition with the steam ves
sels carrying passengers and, being ex
empt from steamboat laws, have made
no provision ff-r the safety of passen
gers. He expresses the opinion that the
enactment of the till amending the law
is for the prevention of the loss of life
on gasoline and other motor- vessels.
