the aspect of the streets was animated.
Flags, draped with GRAPE, are everywhere
displayed, and the troops are marching be-
tween the E-planade des Invalides and
Palais Bourbon. The drapery on the statue
of Strasbourg, in the Place de la Con.
corde, is particularly noticeable. The depu-
tations from the different departments are
immense. They are mzssed in the Place
des Invalides, and along the Qdai d'Orsay
to the Petite Bourbon, an area OF 25, 900 me-
ters. A dense mass of spectators a majority
OF whom have been in position half the
night, occupy the street all the way TO the
cemetery. The remainder Of the city is de-
serted. Gamseita's father, sitter mature res
Election, has decided not to oppose the con-
vietions OF his SOP, but has concluded 10 per-
nit the funeral at Nice to be civil one.
THE FUNERAL CAR

ted that 100000 persons are in the process
sion, conspicuous among which are the Free
Masons, in complete uniform, and the advo-
Gates and students of Paris. An English
delegation from Bologne is present.
AT 1890 O'CLOCK K-------
the head of the procession had reached the
Boulevard de Sebastopol, while the numer-
ous deputsions were still waiting in the
Esplanade des Iuvalides TO take their places
in the cortege. The end Of the procession will
probably be still at The Palais Bourbon when
the body strives at Pere la Chaise Cemetery
Numerous musical societies are playing in
the procession, besides military bands.
DEvEs, MINISTER OF JUSTICE,
speaking in behalf of the government, said
ne salHted the remains of the great citizen.
The loss of such man cau5ed national
grief. The fatherland mourneo one who
loved and defended it passionately. The
deceased had loved France, and had faith in
her destinles, even when hope seemed to be
a defsnce of fortune. His resolution not to
let her abdicate her place among the natiors
would be ever remembered. Apart from his
heroic defense, his political principles and
profound veneration for the will of the
nation commanded admiration. His life
was employed entirely for France aud the
republic. Though he descended prema-
turely to the grave, he left his country free,
the master of its destinies under a respected
popular government. The republic at home
is pacific, and The dignity of France abroad
is henceforth beyond attack. The memory
OF Gsmbetta remains in The hearts of all
patriots.
cHAFFoUR,
on behalf of the Alsace-Lorraine societies
in Paris said Gsmbei,a was the life and soul
| of the defense al Bordeaux. He represented
our distress after our mutilation, and he re-
mained p representative OF our invincible
| hope. He had truly declared that the in.
habitants OF the lost provinces were doubly
Frenchmeu. A generous workman, he died
| trusting in the future. His work remains
both that which he accomplished and thai
which was the maguanImous ambition OF his
life. Our tears for him are not sterile one!
of despair. Our pain should be only tina
| OF men who return to work with fresh ardor
| A great friend of Alsace- Lorraine is dead
but France lives, and will respond 10 the ap
peals of her glorious destiny. Viue Ia France
THE WIDESPREAD FEELING EXCITED.
Almost every member of the Chamber o
Deputies and Senate viewed Gsmbetta'
coffin yesterday. When the gates fnall,
closed against the public some persons en-
deavered TO force their way in. The wide
spread nature Of the feeling excited by tn
death of Gambslta may be judged from tn
fact that the Royalist Popular League post
poned tor week the grand banquet which
had been announced before his death for 10
night. All the markets, excepting tn,
Bourse, closed. All the ambassadors, 10
Guiding Prince Won Hohenlohe, the Germa
representative, were present at the start o
the funeral procession, and sent their car
riages 10 join the eo'tege. The deputatio
from Alsace-Lorraine met with sympatheti
demonstration along the entire route. Tn
spectacle of the formidable army of sympa
thizsrs and members of the association
which followed and acclaimed the remain
of the great tribune, and his adversarie
holding aloof and N maintaining silence, cause
a vague feeling of unessiness.
