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 battleships extending
eight miles Facing these giants of the
British navy will be smaller vessels
and numerous foreign battleships
Whatever the weather may be, the
spectacle of the remains of Victoria
traversing lane of warships-the guns
of all booming-will be unique.
The compulsory absence of the Duke
of Cornwall and York from the cere-
monies is the occasion of extreme re-
gret and of many expressions of popu-
lar sympathy, although no anxiety is
felt regarding him, as the malady is not
dangerous.
King Edward received Lord Salisbury
and several other members of this cab
met yesterday at Marlborough House.
He will hold a privy council at st.
James palace to-day to sanction fin
ally the arrangements for the funeral
and will then return Immediately to Oe-
borne.
The wreath sent by the King of Por-
tugal was so large that it could not be
placed in the chappelle ardente. 1t is
in the form of a cushion of violets, sup
porting a cross surmounted by crown
of lilies of the valley.
The Mikado wired such imperative or
ders to the Japanese legation for the
presence of a Japanese warship at the
naval display that the battleship Hats
use, now being completed at the Els
wick works, Newcastle, one of the larg-
est battleships in the world, having 49,
200 tons displacement, has sailed for
Portsmouth, although hardly in condi-
tion to go.
The following is the order of the for
eign warships at the pageant: The Ba-
den, Prince Henry of Prussia's flagship,
the Hagen, the Victoria Louise and the
Nymphe, German; the Dupuy de LONE,
French; the Hatsuse, Japanese, and the
Don Carlos l., Portuguese.
About $500 troops will be engaged in
the procession from Osborne to CoWes.
Ten thousand volunteers will be en-
ployed along the line of route in Lon-
don, in addition to twenty thousand
regulars. Some disappointment is like
ly to be caused by the statement that
no photographs will be allowed to be
taken of the procession from Osborne to
Cowes.
The early marshal the Duke of Nor
folk, was unable to see King Edward
yesterday in order to obtain his majes-
tvs final sanction for the funeral ar
rangements. Nothing, therefore, has
been definitely settled, except the pro-
gramme for Friday, which has already
been cabled.
