London, Jan. 29.--It was officially
announced Monday evening that King
edward had ordered Saturday to be
observed as day of general mourn
ing. All the banks Will be closed and
business suspended. The arrange
ments for the funeral have been only
partially determined. Almost every
thing thus far is provisional and sub
lect to the approval of the king, who
came to London Tuesday to look over
what has been proposed and to give
his decision. BY order of the king,
the officers of works desire that all
draperies displayed by citizens shall
be purple. The procession from st.
Georges chapel royal, at Windsor, to
Frogmore has been abandoned, and
the coffin viii remain in the chapel
until the day of interment, which will
probably be Monday.
The king and queen, with the
kaiser, will attend the memorial
service in st. Georges chapel, Wind
sor. Sunday.
Cowes, Jan 29.-The funeral pro-
cession win leave Osborne house FRI
day at p. m. The route to the pier
will be lined with troops, and the
royal personages will follow the
coffin on foot.
In London active preparations arc
being made all along the route.
Houses are being draped and seating
accommodation is being provided. A
committee of ladies has obtained per-
mission TO hang wreaUhs of evergreen
along the line, one 10 be affixed to
each lamp post, and all being three
feet in diameter and of uniform pat
tern.
OF all the ceremonies, no doubt the
naval will be the finest pageant The
Alberta, with the body, will slowly
steam along a line of battle ships eX-
tending eight miles. Facing these
giants of the British navy will be
smaller vessels and numerous foreign
battle ships. Whatever the weather
may be, the spectacle Of the remains
of Victoria traversinS a line of war
ships-the guns Of all booming-will
be unique.
About $500 troops will be engaged
an the procession from Osborne to
Cowcs. Ten thousand volunteers will
be employed along the line of route
In London in addition to 10000 regu-
lars. Some disappointment is likely
TO be caused by the statement that
no photographs will be allowed to
be taken of the procession from Os-
borne to Cowes.
London, Jan. 31.-The demand for
seats along the route OF the funeral
is unprecedented, ordinary window
seats are selling for 30 each. Since
two or three days ago prices have
risen very rapidly. One tenant in
St. JaTaes street obtained ESQ for a
window on the top floor. Store win
dows have been let for $50 and
e 200, but the store keepers mostly
prefer to let single seats at e 10 and
Els each. Stores and hotels in Plea
dilly commanding a view of the in
cline from there to st. James palace
are getting immense prices, balcony
seats fetching 925 and G3O.

ter and the dean OF Windsor.
The curtains of the mortuary pa

Of warsmen manning the lane of
ships through which the funeral
yacht will slowly move, can see the
coffin resting on a high crimson coy
cred bier.
