THOUSANDS TOOK LAST LOOK.
Body of Ex-President Harrison Lay
State for Nine Hours Yesterday.
In
INDIANAPOLIS, Marcli 16. Beneath
a canopy of black placed under th.
roof of the capltol building, the casket
covered with the silken golds of th

soms, while over all swung the great
Hag that ftew from the warship In
diana during the naval battle at San
tiago, the body of ex-President Harri
son Jay In state for nine hours today.
During that time fully 50.000 persons
passed by the coffin to take a last look
at the distinguished dead and when

were finally closed and the people told
that no more could enter, there were
several thousand more waiting patient
ly In line.
The body was taken back to Harri
son's home tonight, where it will re
main until the funeral tomorrow.
In marked contrast to the military
and niner display oi coaay oy which
the state jf Indiana paid Its last tribute
of honor to Geenral Harrison will be
the funeral service tcmorrow afternoon
at the First Presbyterian church. The
rites will be simple, dignified and unos
tentatious. Owing to the limited capacity of the
church, which would seat only about
1000, and because of the great demand
for seats, the committee on arrange
ments found It necessary to announce
that entrance would be given to the
friends of the family by cards. The ser
vices tomorrow are Intended only for
the friends and relatives of General
Harrison.

NEW YORK, March 1. ContraMlng
th galjty nnd splendor of the depart
ure of the Duke of Cornwall and York
for Australia and Canada with the last
voyage it the dead queen across the
.Sol'iit. a dispatch to the Tribune from
Londw says:
When the Ophlr relghs anchor for
her long voyage the Albrta. will pilot
her down the harbor, with the king and
queen, princess Victoria and Princess
Charles on deck, and with a fleet of
torpedo-boat destroyers astern and
when the royal yacht finally turns
w ithin sight of Osborne the sime swarm
of blick wasps which headed th? fun
eral flotilla acrofls . the Solent to the
accompaniment of booming guns and
the requiems of naval bands vilf es
cort tin king to Portsmouth.
The Joyous Imperial function will be
a reminiscence of the majestic tribute of
fca power to Queen Victoria. These
details hav been deliberately planned,
for the Ophir and two royal yachts,
with tht king's family, lust night were
near the anchorage where the queen's
bier remained under guard of a mighty
lb et. The mission of the Duke of Corn
wall to the colonies was one of Qu.en
Vicnrid's last imp-rial projects and
the royal family were united In car
rying it out.
The Windsor naval guard, which
save the situation when the horses at
tached to the gun carriage became un
manageable, will be at Portsmouth to
day at Queen Alexandras request to
receive Victorian decoration for their
last service to the beloved queen. While
the work of empire building goes on.
Victoria is not forgotten.
