The procession in London, as 1ndl-
Gated by the war Office orders issued
this evening, will be a gorgeous mill
tary pageant. Detachments of forty
regiments, with an almost equal num-
Der of distinctive uniforms, emlbrac-
ing all arms Of the service, will maze
a constantly changing picture. The
uniforms OF all the great armies OF
the world will appear for, in addition
to the brilliant encourages of the Wis
iting kings and princely ENJOYS, there
will be the military attaches OF the
embassies and legations.
All the field marshals of the British
army able to endure the fatigue Will
ride with their stats. The naval
corps will also take part in the pro-
cession which will be two miles long.

ven's and G-opin's funeral marches
only shall be played. From the time
the coffin reaches London to it's de-
80 49,, -,,n1 --ilI hnnn1 olnT1u in
Hyde Park.
Londoners are just awakening to the
full proportion of the obsequles and
the result of days of mourning, which
to numerous tradesmen and others
means absolute closure, and is causing
CONSERVATION. Suddenly to stop every
industry in the United Kingdom and
to turn the masses into the streets,
with millions hoping to concentrate
along the two miles of this route of the
procession is an undertaking which
has begun to be fully appreciated by
the police; but the public of London IS
dismayed to find that all the great
markets, Covent Garden, Smithfield
and others, where the food of the me-
tropolis is supplied, are to be absolute
ly closed at me end of the week.
The railways of the United Kingdom
will reduce their arrangements to the
Sunday schedules. Restaurants and
bars will be shut and crowds will have
to wander in the streets. London is a
world in itself, living from hand to
mouth; and the closing of the accus-
toned venue for the supply and dis
tribution of food, drink and amusement
from Friday to Monday will mean a
loss and inconvenience that no Amer
lean city could appreciate.
The newspapers are protesting
against the lack or arrangements for
the press in London and windsor,
while the h~ouseholders along the route
are asking a years rent this evening
for single windows.
A member of the United States en-
bassy sent an agent to secure a win
dow for his family; but neither Of
fetal influence nor anything else could
procure a small window wen on a
side street zeal st. James street for
less than 8100; and places of fair
vantage have already been engaged
at prices prohibited to any but mill
lionaires.
London learned last year how total
" inadequate the police and military
are to protect, and the a~pprehensiOns
of the Saturdays crush are enough
to appal Londoners; but, apparently,
these considerations do not deter
thousands of every rank from 1ocking
to the METROPOLIS.
