London, By Cable.-Wlth every
circumstance of splendid pomp befit-
t1ng the obsequies Of so mighty and
we'll beloved monarch, all that Is NOR
tai OF Queen Victoria has been borne
Through the streets of the capital and
started towards the ancient fortress
palace Of the sovereigns % England.
The solemn magnificence OF Fridays
opening phase OF these laut rites was
fully maintained. Perhaps the stately
grandeur of Saturdays sorIoWful page
ant through the swagming streets OF
London with hundreds Of thousands
f mcu1ners forming a blank border
to the route, will never be surpassed.
Never in English history has sover-
eign been borne to the grave attended
by so many distinguished mourners.
The gathering of crowned heads sur
passed those who rode in the jubilee
procession. All the great officers OF
State participated.
The display of the naval and mill
tary forces reached the great total OF
$4,000.
The day was sombre, wet and chilly,
as are most OF London's winter days.
The sky added to the gloom Of tho
whole city.
Most of the specie tors expected an
imposing catafalque and the coffin
was almost past before they recognized
its presence by removing their hats. It
was pathetically small oblong block
concealed beneath a rich pail of white
satin, on the corners of which cleaned
the royal arms. Across the pail the
royal standard was draped and a large
crown of gold, eEcrusted with jewels
rested at the head OF the coffin, which
was at the end of the gun carriage,
just over the gun. On the foot of the
coffin were two smaller crowns with
a gold, jeweled sceptre lying between
them. The eight horses which drew
the gun carriage were almost con-
cealed beneath their rich harnesses. A
large bow of purple was attached to
the coffin. This was the only symbol
OF mourning.
The funeral procession occupied two
hours in passing from Victoria Station
TO Paddington, a distance of three
miles.
1t was precisely 1920 p. m. when the
guards lining the platform AZ this sta
tiOn came to sharp attention." and
with a solemn tread the head Of the
procession entered the building. For
half an hour all was hushed save the
occasional clatter Or horses hoofS as
the Hussars and Lancers trotted into
view, on the rattle of heavy gun car
Tiages as they numbered by. Then
there was break in the procession
and in Through the archway came the
royal bier, followed by the mounted
representatives OF royalty. Then came
a score or more OF attendants The
King and the German Emperor alight-
ed: the music of the massed bands
echoed throughout the station: the
pail was removed from the coffin, and
the casket was deposited in the saloon
carriage which the Queen had so often
occupied during her life time
King Edward Queen Alexandra and
the Duke of Connaught, stood grouped
together as the coffin was borne in and
