OF the japanese Legation,
Ats o'clock about 200 Americans assem-
blcd ut the American Exchange, and pro
ceeded up the Strand to Exeter Hall. By
hali-past three large crowds and number
less cabs and vehicles assembled outside o
the hall, The majority ofthe shops in this
vicinity showed some signs OF mourning
Inside the hall was crammed with people
who continued to arrive in o constant
stream. The stars and stripes over thu
organ were deeply craped, A striking fea
ture was the large proportion Of ladies
present, and the prepondeInce Of English
in the audience. Everybody was in the
deepest Of mourning, The assemblage in
cluded representatives Of the press OF New
York, Boston, Cincinnati, Philadelphia,
Chicago and st, Louis.
Dr. Marshall, Of Mississippi, opened the
proceedings with prayer, He prayed that
the present great atiliction might serve the
purpose OF the Almighty, by setting forth
the bright example afforded by the dead
us the tender father and the liberal admin.
istrator. He asked blessing upon the
Queen and royal family, and that the two
great Nations might be drawn still nearer
together through sQrrowing over the same
grave.
Mr.. Lowell then addressed the meeting
amidst impressive silence, lie said:
We meet to testify our respect for the
character and services OF the late Presi-

upon to suffer. 1t seems u paradox; but
the only Olleviation Of our grief is the
sense OF greatness and costiness of sacri.
flee that has caused it. 1t Is no exaggern-
ton to say that the recent profound,
touching spectacle of womanly devotion
has moved the heart OF mankind in man
ner never equaled.
To Americans everywhere 1t comes home
with pang Of mingled sorrow and pride,
and Of unspelkablC domestic tenderness
that none but ourselves can feel, yet yo II
will all agree that the feeling Of universe
sympathy expressed here BY all classes ha :
made us sensible, as never before, that we,
are in strange, but not In foreign land
that we are ut least In what Hawthorne
called "thc old home" | should do in
justice to your feelings, no less than to my
own, II | did not offer here our grateful
acknowledgements to the august lady who,
herself not unacQuaintpd with grief, has
shown so repeatedly and touchingly how a
true woman's heart can beat under the
royal purple. Tremendous cheering. ]
Rhetoric relative to President Gartield's
noble end is out Of the question. II we
were allowed to follow the promptings OF
our own hearts we should sum all up In
the sacred words, "Well done, good and
faithful servant" The death.sccne was
unexampled. The whole civilized world
gathered about 1t. Let us thank God that
It was through the manliness, the patience,
the religious iortitude OF the noble victim
that the tic OF human brotherhood was
