and tables which could be brought out

Place de la COrncorde watched with
great interest the arrival of the car
riages containing the representatives of
the foreign nations and the high officials
of the government, who were escorted
by detachments of dragons.
THEN CAME THE CABINET MINISTER'S,
who were respectfully saluted on all
sides, and who seemed deeply impressed
with the solemnity of the occasion.

crowds when Caslmir- Perier, the sue
cessor of the late president, drove up to
the palace, for, contrary to precedent,
the newly elected chief magistrate of
France had determined to attend the
funeral. The troops presented arms
upon his arrival and he was received at
the entrance of the palace by number
of high officials. Gen. Saassier then
gave the signal for the funeral
to commence. Gen. Saussier, sur
rounded by brilliant staff of
mounted officers. took up his position in
the court yard in front of the magnifi-
cent catafalque upon which the remains
of the late president had been resting
in state since Friday last, and the black
rasket, with its elaborate silver mount
lngs, was removed under the superin-
tendence of the priests, who had been
gathered about the bier from early
morning. At exactly 1925 a. m. the
procession began its march towards the
cathedral of Notre Dame. A squadron
