GLADSTONE'S
FUNERAL.
Simple But Impressive Ceremonies in

Simple But Impressive Ceremonies in
We stminst Abbey.
LONDON, May 2s.-With simple but
impressive ceremonies the mortal re-
mains of William Ewart Gladstone,
Epgland's "Grand old man." were to-
day laid to rest In the statesmen's
corner of Westminster Abbey, Ad-
mission to the abbey was strictly by
card, but lines three deep of metro
politan police were unable to restrain
the masses from crowdipg up to the
very doors Of the historic edifice, and
there was something especially affect
ing in the intended quietness of the
last tokens of respects paid to the de
ceased. and the widespread sympathy
which converted simple ceremony in
toan imposing public function.
Inside the abbey all ranks and con
ditions of society were represented.
the humble employees and tenants from
Hawarden rubbing shoulders with the
men of eninence who represented the
government, the houses Of parliament
and foreign courts. The Prince and
Princess of Wales, the Duke of Port
land, Lord Salisbury, Arthur Balfour,
Joseph Chamberlain, the Earl of Rose
berry and, Sir William Vernon Hsr-
court, the am basssdors of the United
States, France, Russia, Germany and
Austria and the ministers of Italy,
Denmark and the Netherlands were
among those occupying places inside
the chancel rail, while the nave was
literally packed with eminent repre-
sentatives Of the church, terature
science and art. The principal mourn
ers were gathered about the coffin.
These included Mrs. Gladstone, sup
Stephen Glapstone, Herbert Gladstone,
and Mrs Drew, the daughter of the
deceased. In spite of fact that the
sending of wreaths and flowers had
been deprecated, the coffin was almost
hidden beneath a mass of beautiful
floral offerings.
Shortly before the commencement
of the funeral services General Henry
L. Gardiner, the queens equerry,
stepped forward and placed on the
coffin the beautiful wreath of white
and yellow flowers which had been
sent by the queen. Attached to it was
a sheet of black-edged note paper,
bearing the inscription, "a mark OF
respect from Victoria, r. l." Among
the pall-besrers were the Prince OF
Wales, Arthur Balfour and the Earl OF
Rosebery.
The bishop OF London was present,
but the service was conducted chiefly by
Dean Bradley, assisted by the sub-dean
of Westminster and the precentor.
First psalm was chanted, next the
Dean read the appointed lesson. and
there followed new anthem especially
composed for the occasion. The en-.
tire effect was eminently plaintive and
beautiful and all of those
present were visibly affected. The
coffin, which is of dark. highly polish.
ed wood, was then lowered into the
grave, which is located close by the

RIDDLE

OF Cervera's Fleet Still UnsOlved.
WASHINGTON, May 28.-The riddle
of Cervera's fleet is apparently still
unsolved. Dispatches were received d.
presumably from Schley, at the navy
department late last night. They were
regarded as OF such great Importance
that Secretary Long, whose invariable
rule is to retire at nine clock, came
to the department and remained some
time.
What news these dispatches con-
tanned it is not possible to say, but per-
haps some of them may be posted on
the official bulletin board later. This
is the only method of communication
nowadays between the navy depart
ment and the public.
