London. Feb. 9. 9:17 A. M.-The gray
dawn of London morning, with the
Sky draped with tieecy clouds, proclaim
ed ideal conditions for the funeral of
Englands queen. The calm serenity of
the atmosphere was reflected by the
crowds which at daylight began to as
svmbe at every point of vantage along
the route of the royal obsequies.
The earlys@saenes were unlike those of
many SPECTACULAR days which London
has Witnessed. in the past year. The
crowds whicTIso early gathered in the
streets this morning evinced an entire
lack of feverish unrest and excitement.
The great MASSES of police which as
sfmhicd rhaIftaan like in the grayness OF
the morning seemed more alphabetically
t. tiptoe to their allotted stations as
though their presence reflected on the
sulemnity. Never did Il concourse of
people so little need either civil or mill
,ary guidance. No man standing by his
mothers bier ever needed admoniton
less than did these hundreds of thOus-
ands of men and women. gathered from
nj! parts of the kingdom on the funeral
route OF their mother. the queen.
The strangest part of all was the fact
that the women seemed to outnumber the
men. White ribboned nurses marked
almost every yard along the route, just
MS the Marys of old gathered beneath
the cross al the greatest of all Spectacies

queen. Troops there We're, to be sure

In the great green spaces of Hyde
Park, St. James and others, these long.
. black lines stood shouted against the
morning sky. solemn, silent and pictur-
esque. staunchly stemming the onrush
OF that endless food of people pouring
in from every street and avenue. Pur-
pie was the tone of royal mourning and
this seemed almost relief, contrasted
with these silent masses of black-garb-
cd crowds. II was. the true note. after
all, of the days ceremonial. for no one
among l;ngland's heart-stricken people
could look upon the finished life of their
queen with feelings of entire gloom.
The troops began to move less early
than on proclamation day. That was
the day of the official announcement of
the authority of the king and the streets
were closed as if by magic and with a
tone of authority that did not mark this
impressive scene.

EXCHANGES were
CLOSED TODAY

No copper mining share quotations
were received in Butte today, owing to
the fact that the Boston Stock Exchange
suspended business for the day as Il
mark of respect to the queen.
With one exception the exchanges in
New York city were closed today as a
tribute of respect to the memory of the
queen. The only exception was the
coffee exchange. which was unable to
suspend without seriously interruptine

markets.

serted.

Around the coffin walked the stalwart
bearers, non commissioned officers of
the guard and household cavalry. and
on either side were the queens equer1es,
lords in waiting and physicians. All the
uniforms were covered with long dark
coaks.
The spectacle was so quickly passed
that the spectators hardly realized it or
had time to bare their heads or COM
prehend the details, when a group of
magnificently attired horsemen, with
sparkling helmets and coats. mounted
on beautiful chargers, We're before them.

BETTER THAN
WHITE TROOPS
FILIPINCS PROVING TO BE GOOD
SOLDIERS.
THOUSANDS TO BE ENLISTED
BETTER SUITED TO THE CLIMATE
THAN AMERICANS
AND BRAVE.
THOUSANDS TO BE ENLISTED

, New York Feb "A special to the
Times from Washington says:
The war department intends to go
slowly in the interesting experiment
which the new army law permits it to
make of encouraging the FilipinOs to
become American soldiers. There are no
regular military organizations of Fill
pinos now, unless the squadron of Phil
ippine cavalry is considered. and the
war department has not received enough
information about that organization to
know whether it is a success or not.
The army law gives to the department
the desired opportunity to experiment
with the Filipnos and ascertain their
sodierly qualities under American lead
els. 1t is authorized to recruit Filipinos
up to the number of 1900.
The whole thing will be left to General
Macarthur, who will be allowed to use
his judgment about how many Filipinos
to enlist, unhampered by instructions
from Washington Nor will he begin by
forming regiments. The plan is for him
to employ Filipinos as scouting bands
under American officers. The progress IS
will be closely watched and when Gen.
Macarthur finds that some of these men
have learned American ways and Ameri-
can discipline and have developed suffi-
GENTLY in soldierly qualities, he will
form them into companies, then, as the
numbers of such Americanized Filipinos
!! increase, into battalions and regiments.
The scouting bands are to be the skele-
ton from which the regimental organiza-
tons are to be built up. There is al
ready nucleus. Quite a number OF
bands of scouts have been formed by
General Macarthur and are doing SER
vice under American officers Their eX-
act number is not known, but if they
We're all gathered together in one body
they would make up nearly full regi-
ment. Most of them are Maccabees, and
they are the scouts who have figured
most frequently in the reports and des-
patches from Manila. But there is one
company of Tagals who are a fine body
of men and have done efficient service
They have never manifested the slight
est hesitation about fighting against
their countrymen and no complaints OF
assertion or treason have ever been re
ceived concerning them. There are alst
several companies of Nisayans amoni
the scouts. 1t is not improbable tina
\ there are enough of these scouts VIII
| have learned American ways to be form
| ed at once into a company of regulars
but this is to be left to General Mac
| Arthur's discretion.

duly maintained. Perhaps the stately
grandeur of todays sorrowful pageant
through the swarming streets of Lon
don with hundreds of thousands of
mourners forming a black border to the
route will never be surpassed. There
was in Victoria's funeral procession an
absence of that black ceremonial gene
orally connected with the final progress
to the grave.
Today the coffin was drawn by cream
colorel horses. The pail was white and
the uniforms of the troops and the gold

princes and representatives formed a

THROUGH GATHERED CROWDS.
Mourning Thousands Crowd for Last
Look at the Queen.

London, Feb. 2.--The procession moved
off in accordance with the official pro-
gramme, as cabled in these dispatches.
At 1875 a. m.. as the first strains Of
Chopin's funeral march echoed through
the streets, every head within hearing
distance was barred. The gun carriage
emerged from the station during a brief
and impressive pause in the procession.
and all eyes We're conferred on the pail
which covered the coffin. The sight was
almost painful. Heads were bent low and
the gun carriage moved slowly across
the station yard and took up it's place
in the procession.
Immediately behind it rode the king
III field marshal's uniform. Emperor
William. also attired in a British field
marshals uniform and the Duke of
Connaught, in generals uniform, rode
upon either side of the king.
The uniforms of all three We're partly
hidden by their overcoats, which We're
made necessary by the chilliness of the
weather. The king of the Hellenes and
the king of Portugal rode Immediately
after King Edwards and Emperor Will
liam's suite.
Emperor William rode white horse.
The foremost of the crowd witnessed the
cortege before buckingham palace. At
the mall and Marlborough house the
cortege was viewed by enormous
throngs. Cadets from Sandhurst and
| Woolwich and members Of the house of
| lords and house of commons occupied
| special stands. At the bottom of Picca-
.dlly the boys of the training ship
Britannia We're gathered.
The solemn, stately progress of the
cortege through the park was rendered
more impressive by the minute guns Of
| the nearby batteries.
| In the procession were six carriages.
