doors were opened and the members of the State Senate entered two abreast, divided at the foot of the casket and passed out of the Capitol by the private entrance. The mem bers of the Assembly followed. Then came the public, four abreast. Eight thousand passed during the first hour and for two hours this was the rate, then slight de- crease was perceptible. Seven thousand peo- pie passed between and g. At 9:20 D. m. Colonel Grant and his two brothers, escorted by Governor Hill, entered the Capitol by the private entrance. The inside doors were closed for moment to permit the brothers to look upon the dead. An expression of pain fitted over the colonel's face as he looked at the ghastliness of the face referred to as having occurred since he last saw the face. They looked but moment and then hurried away. Grett praise is due General Hancock and his aides for the admirable planning and execution of the countless de- tails of the funeral journey Thus far not the slightest hitch or accident has occurred and the precision with which every arrange meut has been carried out attests the wisdom of the determination that placed the obsequies in the hands of 8 military commander. It is estimated that between 80,000 and 100, ,000 will have viewed the re- mains when the doors are closed at 1O:30 Wednesday morning.

It is thought colored globes would have been more properly used. At a. m. few stragglers are passing the casket.

 LONDON, Aug An immense crowd gathered in and about Westminster Abbey beginning of the memorial services in honor of General Grant. Fourteen generals of the British army were present and there was a fair representation of the equerries of the Prince of Wales. The American legation was closed to- day. Minister Phelps and the attaches of the legation attended the services in a body. When the memorial services began there was not even standing room.

Gladstone stood throughout the address, his hand placed to his ear, listening eagerly to the words of the reverend speaker. Among those pres ent were the Duke of Cambridge, the Mar quis of Lorne, General Wolseley, Lord Iddesleigh and scores of leading English po- litical and military men.
