VIENNA, Feb. 6.-The funeral of Crown
Prince Rudolf took place yesterday. A pro-
fusion of mourning emblems were displayed
In all parts Of the city, and business was al
most entirely suspended The emperor and
empress and Princess Stephanie attended a
requiem mass in the oratory of the palace,
the services ending about noon. The coffin
was closed at o'clock, and soon afterward
the imperial family gathered around the cata-
falque to take last farewell of the dead.
About O'Clock the imperial party left the
chapel and proceeded to the Capuchin church,
where they were received by the father
guardian. They then passed through the
cloister into the church, taking their places
near the three rows of prize dieux which had
been set apart for the emperor and empress,
the king and queen Of the Belgians, and the
Austrian archdukes and archduchesses The
catafalque was erected in the middle of the
church, and surrounded by elaborate candle
labra. The church was heavily draped with
mourning.
Shortly after o'clock the coffin was car
ried to the funeral car and the cortege
started for the church, where the priests at
tached thereto awaited its arrival Upon the
arrival of the funeral car at the cloister gates
the emperor and king and queen of the Bel
gians entered the body of the church, all the
ministers, high parliamentary officers, and
the officials of the imperial household being
already present. Archbishop Ganglbauer
met the coffin at the entrance to the church
and preceded it to the interior, where he
blessed the body and sprinkled it with holy
water. The choir then sang "I.ibera Me
Domino" When the coffin was about to be
carried to the vault the emperor approached
it, knelt and prayed Every one present fol-
lowed the coffin to the vault, where Cardinal
Hohenlohe delivered the body to the father
guardian. None of the ladies of the impe-
rial family attended the funeral service prop
er. The streets were thronged with people,
who conducted themselves in a most befitting
manner
