GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS

TURIN. Italy. March 2s.-Ths funeral
services over the remains of Louis Kossuth
were held this morning at the Evangelical
Church, beginning at o'clock.
The city was crowded with sightseers
and the streets presented a most remark
able appearance, owing to .he immense
number of HuLgarians in full national cos
tune, who were to be seen on all sides.
The streets through which the funeral
procession passed were lined by the munich
pal guards, and on all sides were to be seen
mourning emblems and crape-draped flags.
The coffin. inside the church. rested on a
handsome catafalque and was covered with
flowers. In addition. the church was filled
with floral emblems sent from all parts of
Hungary. as well as from many points in
Europe.
Standing picturesquely around the cata-
falque was a guard of honor of Hungarian
students in Hungarian costume. This
guard OF honor will accompany the remains
TO Buda Pesth, in company with the repre-
sentatives of the municipality Of that city
owing to the fact that the church could
not hold one-tenth Of the Hungarians as
seinpled In the city, much less the repre-
sentatlves OF the many foreign nations who
desired to do honor to the memory Of Kos
suth, only the chief representatives Of the
Hungarian delegations and the leading rep
resentatives Of foreign nations were able
to obtain admittance.
Near the catafalque were the deceased's
sons, his sister and his nephews.
Inc pastor Of the church. Pastore Peyrot,
delivered the funeral address in Italian,
eulogizing Kossuth's private virtues and
patriotic devotion to Hungary
Inc choir then sang a choral hymn, writ
ten by Luther, and an anthem, composed
by Palestrna.

was placed upon a funeral car, drawn by

able Masonic lodges, and behind them were
the main body of the Hungarisns and other
people who took part in the procession

with Grape, carried by the delegations which

fin was placed in the mortuary. and after

syr pathetic Grafton he formally handed
over the remains to Gen. Turr Markus,

on behalf of the municipality Of Buda-
Pesth.
