Iondon Jan. 1S.-The arrangements that were
made for a public and semi-military procession
through London to escort the body of the Duke
Of Clarence and AvOndale from the Great Eastern
20 the Southwestern Railway station have been
changed in consequence of the epidemic of in
Nuenza prevailing here. When the orders were
issued ny the high military authorities prepara-
tions were Immediately made to carry them into
effect: but representations were made TO the
Prince of Wales that, owing to the inclement
weather. which gives promise of lasting over
wednesday, it would he dangerous to the health
of the troops who should take part in the
ceremonies 1t was pointed out that the Guards
who were ordered TO line the route between the
two railway stations would have TO stand i'm
movable for a long time, and that they would
nrobably become chilled through, and otherwise
endanger their health. Upon hearing the views
of the authorities, the Prince of Wales Immediately
gave orders that the projected military funeral
be abandoned.
The Prince of Wales is exceedingly desirous that
the members of the court should not be exposed
TO the unnecessary risk which a procession
through London would entail, and which would
he certain to affect seriously the health of many
OF the aged courtiers. The Duke of Cambridge
was upon the point of leaving Cannes TO return TO
London, TO attend the funeral of the Duke of
Clarence and Avondale, when he received tele
gram from the Prince of Wales requesting him
not to leave there as the Prince did not wish him
TO run the risk that would arise from the change
of climate. 1t is deemed that the health of Prince
George Of Wales is not sufficiently robust TO allow
Of his exposing himself in any way. and the Prince
of Wales has decided that Prince George will not
be allowed to attend his brothers funeral
The body of the Duke is still in the parish
church at Sandringham, and will remain there
until it is removed to Kings Lynn for conveyance
TO London, thence to Windsor Castle. All the
tenants on the Prince of Wales's estate at
Eandringham and all the people in the village,
allowed to enter the church and view the coffin,
which rests upon bier draped with heavy pail,
and which is surrounded with floral wreaths.
A dispatch from Johannesburg, in the Transvaal
saws that great excitement has been caused there
by the action of the editor of an English paper
published in that place. In an article on the
death of the Duke of Clarence and Avondale, the
editor took occasion TO make an attack upon the
character of the Duke. The editor attended the
theatre at johannesburg the night following
the publication of the offensive article. When
his presence became known he hooted at, and
the audience sought to mob him, but he made his
escape from tne ueatTe through Il Dd'k uoOI
When the audience found that the fellow had
escaped them they in no humor to listen
to theatrical performance. They resolved
themselves into mass meeting, at which 1t was
decided that unless the editor removed from
his post he would he fOrcib1y expelled from the
country. After these proceedings crowd went
TO the Offices Of the newspaper and vented their
Indignation against the editor by throwing stones
at the building and smashing all the windows In
ii. The hiding place Of the editor is unknown,
and il is believed that in the present state OF
popular indignation il would not be safe for him
TO appear in Johannesburg.
