VICTORIA's SON BURIED.

Emperor William arrived at Coburg,
at 11:30 a. 10. to attend the funeral of
the late Duke of Saxe-Coburg and
Goths. He was given an ovation by
dense crowds awaiting him at all points
along the route.
As soon as the Emperor arrived at
the castle, the funeral cortege was form
ed. The Emperor walked in the first
rank, between Duke Charles Edward
and the prince regent; the Prince of
Wales, between the Grand Duke OF
Hesse and King Ferdinand, of Rou-
mania, followed. Then came the Duke
OF Connaught, the Duke of York, and
and endless procession OF princes and
dukes, representatives of German and
foreign sovereigns and courts, naval and
military deputations, and officers of the
ducal court.
The cortege, entering St. Moritz's
Church, took, up places in the cbancel,
which had been converted in 20 verti-
able grove of palm trees. The church
was drsped in black, with hangiDgs OF
embroidered ermine. The gloom was
relieved at intervals By green pine
sprays and silver frieZe, and the craped
pillars were entwi0ed in garlsnds. From
the orgsn lott black valarium was
suspended, with the arms and in
ltisls of the dead duke embroidered III
silver. The wreath sent by the dead
dukes mother, Queen Victoria, which
was placed at the head of the coffin,
was composed of scarlet geraniums,
with stocks and heliotrope in the
scheme of the national colors, and bore
ne simple and pathetic inscription:
"From his sorrowing mother" AT the
foot Of the coffin lay an immense wreath
of oak leaves. inscribed From bis
three sisters"
The most striking feature among the
macy beautiful floral pieces, was an
Immense anchor of white flowers, en-
twined with a cable OF corn flowers, in
scribed The British navy mourns its
gifted admiral"
Among the wreaths were displayed
the dukes orders and decorations.
At the close Of the simple funeral Ger
vice the troops fired salute from the
castle square, after which the cortege
returned to the castle.
During the service the hereditary
Prince of Saxe-Meiningen was taken Ill
and had to be carried to the chaplain's
house. He soon recovered.
Emperor William paid visit OF con.
dolence to the widow of the Duke OF
Saxe-Coburg and Gotha Saturday after
noon and then lett for Wilhelmshobe.
At 10 o'clock Saturday night the re
mains of the duke were carried, by
torchiight, with an escort of princes, 10
the mausoleum in the church yard, and
placed in vault.
