ing newspaper correspondents were
admitted to see the queens remains
lying in state Saturday. The approach

guarded as ever. A Gordon of police,

and the royal standard floated half
mast from the tower. Through the de-
serted courtyards to the queens en-
trance, the representative here of the
press was conducted. 1t was but step
from the entrance. across the hall to
the dining-room. where the queens
body rested. The entrance to this
room was beautifully draped with
crimson and attached thereto were
several gigantic wreaths from mem

on the reversed rifles. immovable as
statues. The strain is so great that
they have to be relieved every hour.
The coffin itself is but is inches from
