THE DUKES REMAINS.
TheyWiII BE Taken Directly to ST.
Georges Windsor.


LONDON, Jan. II. -GenaraI disap-
pointment was expressed today when it
became known that the body of the
Duke of Clarence would not be
brought to London, but would
be conveyed direct from Sand
bingham to st. Georges chapel, Wind
sor. This is said to have been
decided at the instance of the Princess
of Wales, who was opposed to having
her sons funeral made the occasion of
a public parade through the streets of
London. 1t is also intImated that per-
sons near to royalty feared that social
lists or others of extremely radical senti-
lnents might attempt demonstration
that would shock the already over
strained feelings of the royal family. 1t
is said that the police have been appre-
hensve of this, and in case of a London
funeral display the utmost precautions
would have to beftaken. (
Anxiety was again aroused today as to
the queens health by the news that she
would not go to Windsor on the occa-
sion of the interment. The reason as
signed is that royal physicians consider
the weather too inclement for her mai
esty to face the exposure of the journey
and the ceremony in her present frame
of mind. While the queen Is officially
declared to be we'll, it is known that her
physicians are in daily attendance and
constantly consulted by those Who sur
round her as to what she should do.
In most of the churches and chapelS
today references were made to the death
of the duke. Canon Farrar preached in
Westminster abbey to a multitude that
thronged every foot of space. He touch

family had suffered, and to the
sympathy which went out from all
classes of people to the Prince
and Princess of Wales, and to the be-
trothed, parted by death from the
princely youth who had sought her hand
in marriage, and to the venerable queen.
The canon spoke of the deceased, his
pure and blameleSS character. and his
sincere efforts to fit himself for the
august place which he would have &C.
cupied. The canon was loyal and
touching without being SycOphantic, and
he was listened to with the closest atten-
ton. In the churches of Dublin also the
death of the duke was a theme with
nearly all the pastors The lord lieu
tenant and his lady attended st. Pat
rick IS, which was draped in mourning.
This and the other Episcopal churches
count of the occasion.
The Tenth hussars has been ordered
to England to attend the funeral, the
Duke of Clarence having held the rank
of captain in this regiment. Between
the duke and other officers there sub
sisted warm attachment, and he never
lost an opportunity to mess with them
when near the regiment, while they
were always welcome guests to the
duke. They speak of him in
the highest terms, although they
did not have high estimate of his mil
itary ability. The regiment is known
as the prince of Wales Own" The
duke was the honorary colonel of the
known as Prince Albert Victor's guard.
The PruSsian hussar re giment, called
after Prince Butcher, Of Wahlstatt. of
which the duke was an honorary officer,
will. 1T is expected, be represented at
the funeral. The aged Duke of Cam
bridge, by request of the Prince of
" aleS, will remain at Cannes, where he
is nursing his health, instead of coming
to the funeral.
The coffin containing the body now
rests in Sandringllam church. No no.
tice was given of the time of the re-
mOval. Alto o'clock Friday night the
great doors of the hall opened, and the
head servants appeared bearing the cof-
gn, which they solemnly carried to the
church. The officers of the household ac-
companled the procession. The church
was draped in mourning, and the candles
threw Pickering light on the scene.
There was no ceremony, the coffin being
laid on raised platform. on which it
will remain until the removal to Wind
sor Wednesday morning. Yesterday
the Prince and Princess of Wales, the
surviving children, the Duke of Fife.-
the Prince and Princess of Teck and
Princess May attended memorial serv-
ice in the church. There appears to be
doubt whether the bereaved princess
will attend the interment at Windsor.
