was in his pontifcal robes and surround
ed by the cathedral functionaries. The
casket was then raised to the top of a
catafalque, surmounted by q wreath Of
iron, and on it was placed the helmet and
sword of King Humbert.
MOST IMPRESSIVE SCENE.
At that moment, so touching was the
beautiful scene that the emotion of those
present was plainly audible within the
stllled church. Tears dimmed many eyes
and sobs could be heard throughout the
hall. An hour before the arrival of the
funeral procession, Queen Helena, the
OoWager Queen Margaret, Former Queen
Maria Pia, of Portugal, as we'll as some
of the royal princes, reached the Pan
theon in carriages.
The new king and Italian princes, on
their arrival, took up positions on the
right side of the church, the queen and
pr1ncesses stationing themselves on the
left
The royalties and their suites, the for
eign missions, the cabinet ministers, the
members of parliament, the officers of
state, the diplomatic corps, the army and
navy officials, and a few invited guests,
were the only peEe5ns allowed inside tho
edlhce. There was the usual funeral lit
urgy, which was chanted, and then alb
solution was again bestowed. AS the
archbishop, assisted by all the clergy,
blessed the corpse, he bowed and inclined
as he prayed before the king and queen.
After the absolution and celebration
Of mass, during which the large Roman
orchestra assisted, a choir Of voices under
Mascagini rendered a selection from the
old Italian masters. The effect was
beautiful and the execution was perfect.
On the whole, the ceremony at the Pan
theon was of majestic character. The
mo iIoYac Of h. 20,
princes left the Pantheon at II o'clock
and returned to the Quirinal
ALMOST A RIOT.
LONDON, Aug. "a special dispatch
from Rome says that sudden move
ment of the crowd in the Via Nazionale,
as the kings carriage in the funeral pro-
cession passed, resulted in a panic dur
ing which thirty persons were injured,
and several were badly crushed. The
dispatch a0ds that 1t was at first thought
by the officers that 1t was the new kings
life that was in danger, and the Duke Of
Aosta and the Count of Turin drew their
swords, while the cavalry drove back the
crowd and enclosed the kings carriage in
a square. Women, the dispatch contin-
ues, tainted and shrieked and a number
were knocked down and trampled under
foot, but the disaster which was SEEM
ingly inevitable was ayerted.
The crush in the Via de Serpent was
caused by the shying of an Alpine officers
horse, frightened by the fall of chair
from balcony. The crowd fled In all
directions, but as soon as the cause Of
the panic was known, calm was restored
and the cortege proceeded.
A categorical denial is given to the re-
port that the crush was caused by q
protest against the municipal Tag. The
crushe3 everywhere were also caused
by unimportant incidents.
One hundred deputies, representing all
parties. met this morning on the Monte
Citor and decided to establish institutions
for consumptives in all parts Of Italy in
memory of Humbert l.
