LONDON, January 16.-Preparations
for the funeral OF the Duke OF Clarence
and Avondale are being made on all
sides at Sandringham, by the railway
companies and at Windsor Castle.
1t is believed that the statements re-
gardlng the Queens health are grossly
exaggerated. As has been before stated.
she is greatly affected by the death OF
her favorite grandson, and her depres-
sion would naturally tend TO make her
more liable TO an attack OF the prevail
ing epidemic OF influenza, but that she
is seriously or az all unwell. is not
shown by the arrangements that have
been made for her presence at the fun
eral ceremonies.
As has now been decided Her Maies-
ty will remain at Osborne House until
either Monday night or Tuesday morn
ing. She will then proceed on the roy
al yacht TO Portsmouth, at which place
a special train will convey her TO Lon
don. She will arrive at Windsor Castle
early on Tuesday.
The body of the Duke will be con-
veyed from Sandringham and will arrive
at Windsor Castle on the same day.
All the details OF the funeral have not
been arranged but IL is announced posi-
lively that the interment will take place
at noon OH Wednesday. The body will
be placed in the Crypt In 81. Georges
Chapel.
The body OF the Duke was removed
from Sandringham to the Parish Church
this morning. The Prince and Princess
OF Wales, Prince George, OF Wales,
Princess Victoria and Maud, OF Wales,
and Princess Victoria Mary, OF Teck,
showed the most intense grief.
The Princess OF Wales, with her GUS
tomary self sacrifice, strove To conceal
her own deep sorrow In her efforts TO
console the others. She was particular
ly tender to and solicitOus OF Princess
Victoria Mary, the Dukes intended
bride, and placed her arm about tho
Princess and, amid her own sobs, whis-
pered words OF consolation 10 her.
The Princess OF Wales and Princess
Victoria Mary are recovering somewhat
from the shock OF the Dukes death and
are becoming more resigned. IL has
been reported In some quarters that
they are both seriously III. This rumor
no doubt originated from the fact that
DIR. Lacking, after the death OF the
Duke, remained at Sandringham to>tst7
tend Her Royal Highness and Princess
Victoria Mary.
Vhls is believed, however, 10 have
been more a measure OF precaution than
necessity, resulting from a fear that
when the nerves OF the Princess relax
from the great strain prostration might
follow.
Gen. Sir Dlghton MacNaughten, con-
troller and treasurer Of the Prince OF
Wales household. this morning sent q
dispatch 10 the London agent OF the
Associated Press, denying the reports
in circulation which state that the two
princess are seriously Ill. He added I'm
his dispatch that they are as well as can
be expected.
The body OF the Duke OF Clarence
will be taken from Kings Lynn on the
Great Eastern Railway. From the Llv-
erpOol Street Station In London IL will
be taken to the Great Western Railway
and thence to Windsor. There will be
public and semi-military procession
through London from one station 10 the
other. The route will be kept by sold
iers. Upon the arrival OF the train bear
ing the remains the coffin will be placed
upon gun carriage, and will be es-
corted by the Tenth Hussars, OF which
regiment the Duke was Major. The
Prince Of Wales is Colonel Of the Tenth
Hussars.
The body will be received at Windsor
with military honors, and will be
guarded TO the castle by squanron OF
cavalry. In the procession through
London the Prince OF Wales, the Duke
OF Edinburgh and the Duke Of Con-
naught will follow behind the gun car
rage bearing the body. The guards
will be detailed TO line the route and
keen IL clear.
