BUDA PE5rH, April Am immense
crowd OF people from all parts of Hum
gary and many from Austria, is i'm this
city Hotel and other accommodations
are ut premium, and late arrivals have
considerable dliiiculty i'm finding quarters
The great center of attraction for the pco-
pie was the National Museum, i'm which
the body OF kosSuth was lying i'm state
IL Is estimated that at least 100000 persons
OF all classes entered the museum and
walked past the catatalquc. The process
sion was silent one, the only sound
breaking the stiffness being AN occasional
sob from some woman
Several impressive incidents marked the
day One was the visit of large number
otmaidens from Transylvania, clad wholly
in white, who deposited many wreaths on
the collin that was already almost hidden
from view 10y the floral offerings piled
upon and about it, The visit of the vet
eran llonved hussars also attracted much
attention. All these veterans came from
Szogediu and its neighhorhood. The 5000
inhabitants of Czegled who walked in "a
body the long distance from there to Buda
Pesth in order TO pay their last token of
| respect and love to the great hungarian,
arrived safely, and their visit to the hall
in which the body was lying was one of
the noteworthy incidents of the day.
| Many Of them showed plainly the traces
of their weary two days march.
Order was preserved throughout, except
when the great crush necesStated the bar
reading of E-terhazy street, (which created
confusion and disorder. 1t was Intended
| to close the museum at midnight, but
| when the proposed closing time arrived
such an immense crowd was still waiting
to view the body that it was decided to
| keep the building open until o'clock in
| the morning, At that hour the doors were
closed, and thousands of persons were
turned away disappointed. This caused
| much anger among certain element in
the crowd, and stone throwing and abuse
of the authorities were indulged i'm. The
trouble was not serious, and the disorder
was promptly quelled.
The funeral services, which began at 10
o'clock in the morning, were the most
| solemn ceremonies ever seen here. They
| were held in the vestihule OF the National
| Museum in the presence of the Lutheran
bishops, members of the hungarian diet
| and the Hungarian maguates. After the
| singing of the national anthem, in which
| all present joined Bishop Sarkany deliy-
! cred an Grafton in which ne eloquently eN-
! tolled the services of kossuth. Maurice
| JokaL one OF the leading Hungarian
! writers, and a member of the diet fol
| lowed, speaking ON behalt OF the lower
house His words moved many of his
audience TO tears. The burgomaster of
| Buda Pesth, speaking for the city, fol
| lowed i'm a touching address.
When the funeral services at the mu-
| scum had been concluded the collin was
removed from the catatalque and con-
Veyed TO the funeral car, TO which We're
attached eight horses covered withmoum-
| ing capauson. The procession was then
! speedily formed. In 1t were twenty special
cars bearing between 2,o0 and 5000 fun
eral wreatnS. Then followed 600 Honveds,
some i'm multl and others IN uniform. All
wore medals. Included among the regt-
mental colors carried was the celebrated
black flag with thirteen death heads, in
memory of the martyrs who fell in the
suppression of the revolution at Arad.
Firemen formed guard on each side.

which it passed were densely crowded.

was unoccupied. Business, much of which
is usually done in Buda Pesth on sun
days was at complete standstill, all the
business houses being closed. Everybody
