Honoring the Dead King.

MADRID, Nov. 3d. The body of King
Alfonso was received in this city with great
pomp The queen and her daughters oc-
cupied a carriage which followed immedi-
ately after the funeral-car. There were
1000 carriages in the cortege. The queen
was deeply yelled in order to con-
ceal her emotion. AS the procession
passed through the streets the populace
wept. Occasionally cheer was given
for Queen Christina. On arriving
at the palace the casket was
carried by grandees from the car to the hall
of the palace, where the body will lie in
state from Saturday until the day of tho
funeral.
The sad procession from FL Pardo to Mad

estimated that the multitude who viewed
the pageant numbered at least $1,000. King
Alfonso's life was insured for $500, 900.
