Si?lii as Vic iOtibdl leScNluS VI thO
body at the entrance was to be done
by himself as Premier, Hon. John S.
Walker as President of the Legis-
lature. and Mr.. j. w. Robertson as
Chamberlain.
AS the head of the procession APP
preached the Palace yard, Dowager
Queen Kapioani appeared on the
balcony, directly above the main en-
trance. She displayed paroXysms of
grief to behold which was heartrend-
ing before being kindly led away.
Swaying back and forth in anguish,
weeping Historically, she alternately
clusped her hands above her head
and hid her face behind large hand
kerchief. When the stricken woman
leaned forward in intense agony, one
could not but fear that she would in
flict bodily injury upon herself from
the iron picketed railing. Her WISH
bic cryings of distress were cruelty
drowned by the baud music and The
multitudinous wailng below. Queen
Liliuokalani also appeared on the
balcony, making most grievous de-
monstrations, she also having to be
soorhingly removed.
AS the cortege passed through the
gate the Royal Band played the
Dead March in Saul, continuing the
mournful strains until the coffin was
horne up the driveway and into the
Palace by the detachment of blue
jackets. His Lordship Bishop Willis
with Revs. A. 5. Barnes and ). II.
Davis followed the collin inside.
When the burden was deposited in
the Throne Room, the band ceased
the dead march and played Nearer
my God to Thee"
While the procession was APP
preaching the Palace, a gorgeous
rainbow appeared directly over he
building. Although not rare phe
nOmenon here, this meteorological
apparition was remarked upon as a
pleasing symbol of the peaceful end
ing of somewhat troubled career,
as we'll as an omen of hope for a
kingdom that has passed under many
threatening clouds.
The coffin was placed on a bier in
the middle of the Throne Room.
Upon it were laid the late Kings
crown of state, resting on beautiful
pillow of velvet trimmed with gold,
also his sword and scepter, and
royal feather cloak. When the coffin
was rested Rear Admiral Brown and
the principal officers were presented
to Queen Liliuokalani in the Blue
Room. Her Majesty was escorted
into the Throne Room, leaning on
the arm of the Minister of Foreign
Affairs. Last night the Queen pri
vately viewed the remains; as also
did Messrs. G. b. Wilson, j. G.
White and Henry Smith, on behalf
of the American Legion of Honor, OF
which His late Majesty was a member
Kahili bearers in relays watched over
the remains all night.
