the Ceremony Went On According
to Ancient Usage.
The king was not present, having
left London early for Osborne. There
was a large a~ssemblage of officials
and college heralds. Among those in
attendance were Gen. Roberts and
members of his headquarters staff,
and other army officers. There was a
great of people from the
commencement I'd the close. The
proclamation was greeted by a
fanfare of trumpets. At the conclu-
sion of the ceremony the band belong
ing to the footguards in the Friary
court played God Save the King"
The members of the kings household
witnessed the ceremony from MARI
borough house.
On the Balcony.
On the balcony overlooking the
Friary court, whence the proclama-
ton was read were the duke of Nor
folk and other officials of state. The
balcony was draped in crimson cloth.
Beside the officials in respondent uni
forms were stationed the state trum-
peters. Here was seen many promi-
nent persons, among them Sir Henry
Arthur White, private solicitor to the
queen, the duke of York and other
members of the royal family.
In the yard Of Marlborough house
and the Friary court were stationed
. large body of police, soldiers and
foot guards. The foot guards acted
as guards of honor, and they were
posted Immediately beneath the bal
cony
Brilliant Cavalcade.
The spectators began to assemble
at an early hour. The troops arrived
at eight o'clock, and shortly before
nine o'clock in the morning a bril-.
liant cavalcade passed down the NAL
and entered Friary court. 1t consist.

The crowd took up the cry, while
the cheers, the fanfares of trumpeti
and the band playing the nationa
anthem made a curious medley. King

FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS.
They Are Proceeding deliberately at Os
borne House.

Cowes, Isle of Wight, Jan. $50
hampered have been b arrange
ments at Osborne hat the body of
Queen Victoria still lies in the bed
| room where she died. The elaborate
decorations necessary in turning the
| dining room in Osborne house into a
| chappelle argente occupied SO much
| time that, although the royal house
| hold waited hour after hour for the
| first private service, it was found i'm
| possible to hold this yesterday. All
being we'll, however, the solemn func-
| ton will be performed this (Friday)
morning by the bishop of Winchester
in the presence of King Edward, EN-
| peror William and almost every other
member of the royal family.
The cofiined body will be trans
ferred this morning to the dining
room, now hung with deep purple.
The dais is wreathed with the royal
standard, and on each side are great
candles. Madonnas by famous paint
ers hang from the draped walls. In
one corner magnificent wreaths from
all parts of the world crush their
blossoms against each other. Among
the most beautiful are those from En-
peror William and Empress Augusta
Victoria. Around the coffin chairs are
arranged for the royal mourners.
Lord Pelham Clinton authorizes the
statement that there will be no lying
in-state. However, there is good e
son to believe that many persons will
be afforded the privilege of seeing
their dead queen as she lies in the
gorgeously transformed dining room,
where she will remain until FEBRUARY
1. In the hope that this may be the
case, the people are already pouring
into Cowes. If they are disappointed
in this respect, they viii at any rate
be rewarded by witnessing a great
naval display.
Yesterday King Edward replied to
the thousands of messages he has re
ceived. To those from rulers and
great personages he replied in person
To those from minor dignitaries he
commanded his equerry to return his
thanks. A particularly grateful mes
sage went to President Mckinley.
The new queen moved ceaselessly
around yesterday seeing that every
thing should be done in order. She
refused to allow herself to be called
queen.
"Your majesty" said one of her en-
tourage.
"Your royal highness," you mean

SOMEWHAT Exaggerated
The Situation in the Creek Country
Has Been Colored by Cor
respondents.
no VIOLENCE HAS YET BEEN DONE.
Tha Presence of United stateA
Troops at Henrietta Likely to
Have Good Effect, Dispelling
some of the Illusions Created by
Crazy Snakes Stories.

Kansas City, No., Jan. 27.-A staff
CORRESPONDENT of the Stal', sent into
the Creek country, to investigate the
trouble among the Indians, wires as
follows:
Muskogee, L. T., Jan. 26.-That the
situation regarding the Creek In
dian uprising has been somewhat ex-
| aggerated by certain correspondents
there can be no doubt. 1t is true the
| Indians are restless, but SO far no viz
lence has been done and it is ques-
tionable if a shot will be fired. How
ever, the Snake band is well organ
lied, and if whisky should get among
them or some deputy should become
indiscreet there might be some trou-
bel.
No General Uprising Probable.
But a general uprising at the
present time is out of the question.
The presence of the United States
troops at Henrietta is bound to have
a good effect, not hat they will nee
~essarily be needed to do any actual
fighting, but by being there h In
| dams who have taken Crazy Snakes
word as gospel will be convinced that
the president of the United States has
not given Snake the authority to
make Creek laws, as he has been
claiming.
One of Crazy Snakes Stories.
Probably the most important feat
ure of the situation this morning is
the rumor regarding William A.Jones,
commissioner of Indian affairs at
Washington. Crazy Snake is con-
tending that when he was last in
Washington he called upon Mr.. Jones
and prayed to him for relief from the
unjust terms of the Curtis act. He
says hat Mr.. Jones told him to re-
turn home and that the Creeks might
make their own laws, as heretofore.
Snake not only insists that this is
true, but that he has signed letters
from Jones to prove his assertion.
However, no one who has seen these
letters can be found.
There is Politics i'm 1t.
Politics, it is said, have entered
somewhat into the exaggerated re-
ports Sent out from this section. The
present United States marshal, Leo
E. Bennett, has a bidder for his Office
and his enemies, it is said, have been
giving color to the sensational re-
ports and saying that another mar
shall would ave made wholesale ar
rests from the start and thereby put
a stop to eve the suspicion of an up
rising.
As q Matter of Fact.
The fact of the matter is hat u1l-
der recently-adopted regulations by
the department at Washington, Ben
nett has been powerless to act with
out permission from the federal Off
Gals there. This permission came
only Friday night. Bennett imme-
diately began to act, and is busy get
ting provisions and supplies together
preparatory to starting, with about
twenty deputies, to join the soldiers
at Henrietta.

AT THE CITY BOUNDARY.
Ceremonial at the Point Where Once

The chief interest of the morning
conferred in the entrance of the her
aids procession into the city at Tenn

law courts and the tall spires of the
Strand churches doomed, phantom
like, out of the fog, while a long
double line of ~overcoated troops
stood, chilled and motionless along
the half-deserted streets. The clocks

grandeur.
The Municipal officials.
The lord mayor, sheriffs, aldermen
and many bearers, in scarlet, fur
trimmed robes, cooked hats, ruffled
shirts, silk knee breeches and low
buckled shoes, peered put from the
Cinderella-like coaches that would
have been the envy of Alice in Won
derland.
Overhead in the midst of the pa
geant, the great griffin which marks
the city boundary, spread its wide,
fantastic wings, like some great Hin
doc god. In their gold ~liveries, the
white-wigged coachmen of the lord
mayor looked down contemptuously
upon the soldier. herald and peer.

officer in command of the troops cried

peters appeared at the griffin's side.
Interesting Ceremonial.
The lord mayor and sheriffs, mace

the white-wigged Judges of the city
