LONDON, Jan. 30.-The procession in
London. as indicated by the War Office
orders, will be "a gorgeous military pa
geant. Detachments of forty regiments,
with an almost equal number of distinc-
tive uniforms will make Il constantly
changing picture. The uniforms of all the
great armies of the world will appear.
All the Field Marshals Of the British
army able to endure the fatigue will ride
with their staffs. Naval corps will also
take part in the procession, which will
be two miles long.
The War Office directs that only Beeth-
ovens and Chopin funeral marches shall
be played. From the time the coffin
reaches London to its departure guns Will
boom slowly in Hyde Park.
The result of days OF mourning, which
to numerous tradesmen and others means
absolute closure, is causing CONSERVATION.
London is dismayed to find that all the
great markets where the food of the me
tropolis is supplied, are to be absolutely
closed at the end of the week. Hestau-
rants and bars will be shut and the
crowds will have to wander in the
streets.

vantages of the legislative halls in the

Those familiar with the nails of the

the poor sanitary conditions now existing
While it is true that committees have
been appointed to look into the matter
of making the necessary improvements to
the Capitol building and to report a plan
for the proper Ventilation Of the hall of
the House, ii is also pointed out that these
committees Will not make any report or

of the Legislature. This. in itself would
defeat any practical relief being accom-
plished prior to the meeting of the con-
vention.
The seating capacity of the hall of the
House is very limited, and this is espec-
sialIvz true of the galleries and accommo-
dations afforded spectators. On the other
hand it is pointed out that the Jefferson
