FUNERAL OF MRS. DENNIS.
Services Held at st. Margaret's Church
Yesterday Afternoon.

At the funeral services held at st. Mar
garet's Church yesterday afternoon the
Rev Edward NJ. Mott, the former pastor
of the church. who had known Mrs. Dennis,
ORE ached a short sermon, in which he
touched upon the life and chara cter of the
de ceas ed. DR.. Mott said when n was asked
to assist at the funeral he considered it an
opportunity to speak of one for whom he
had always entertained high regard. Her
death he said. was the last cha pier of one
OF those inscruta Bile mysteries which shock
the community.
Il was one of the many friends of this
many years ago, when | first came to
Washington. and I-learnsd to respect her
and to appre ciate her worth. 1t was a CO.
incidence that on the very day of the crime
| sat in her room on the Identical piano
stool with which the foul deed was COM
mitted and stood at that window through
which the INTRUDER gained access to her
apartment during her helpless sleep. Con-
corning the secret which has apparently
died with her there is nothing known. But
there is one to whom this mystery Is
known. and in His own good time it will be
revealed. / want to give my testimony to
the memory OF one whom l believe to have
been a good woman. l have never seen or
known or heard of anything to reflect in
the slightest upon her."
Undertaken loves assistants acted as
palIbearers, and there were several floral
tributes on the casket. One of them, a
bunch of white ehrysanthemums, was sent
by the Washington Ledge of Elks Rela-
tiyes andEa few friends accompanied the
body to the grave.

COLOMBIA'S DELAY
NON-ACTION ON PENDING 18TH
Milan CANAL TREATY.
Appointment of New Commission Post
pened-Admiral Walker viii
Be at the Head of It.

Non-action on the part OF the govern
ment of Colombia on the pending isthmian
canal treaty is postponing the appointment
Of the commission which Is to take charge
of the construction of the canal. 1t was
at first supposed that as soon as the At
torney General had satisfied himself Of the
sufficiency of the title to the canal property
that could be conveyed by the French COM
pany the way would be clear for the APP
pointment of the commission. and soon
after for the preparation Of the specifica-
lions upon which the work Is to be done.
This was upon the assumption that the
agreement upon the outlines of the treaty
with the canal company, reached in Wash
ington between the Secretary Of State and
the Colombian minister, amounted to
pledge by the latter in behalf of his own
government to promptly rat1fy such a
treaty. Now it has developed that the ratl-
ation of the treaty Is a long way on,
owing to the fact that the Colombian con-
greSs. before which the convention must
come. has not even been elected up to this
time. The delay is attributed to the ex-
istence of a state of war in Colombia, but
it is now expected that the country villa
soon be so far pacified that a general e.ec-
ton can be held and that the congress can
be assembled during the winter months.
Walker to Be the Head.
In this state of backwardness as to rati-
fication little attention has been given here
to the composition of the United States
canal commission. Notwithstanding the fact
that owing to the dignity and desirahil!ty
of the places thereon there have been
many tentative applications for appoint
ment. The one fact relative to the COM
mission that has developed Is that Rear
Admiral Walker, who has headed the two
preceding commissions, will be the presI-
dent Of the new commission. 1t was at oie
time suggested that Gen. Leonard Wood
was to have that place, having in view mis-
peculiar abilities as an executive officer
and as a sanitary director, but 1t is now
said that he prefers to remain in his mill
tary surroundings and assume command of
one of the important military departments.
The sanitary work outlined for him VIII
therefore be undertaken by one of the reg
ular army surgeons who has had expert
ence in tropical countries, and Admiral
Walker will retain his connection with the
important work which he initiated several
years ago.

age-Arrest of Minister With
Explosives.

LONDON, October 25-King Edward and
Queen Alexandra started on the royal pro-
gress toward the city shortly after noon to-
day in somewhat dull weather. The rain,
however, kept Off and the temperature was
sufficiently mild to make the day enjoyable
Outside Buckingham Palace, which natu-
rally was one Of the greatest centers of at
traction. great crowd had been waiting
for hours, watching the arrivals and depart
ures and the forming up Of the procession.
There was q somewhat tedious interval
before the appearance of their maJestles,
who drew forth the first real cheers of the
day as they passed through the rows OF
bluejackets from the first-class cruiser Ter
ribe lining either side of the main entrance
to the palace. The king wore field mar
shal's uniform. with the cloak thrown back,
showing his decorations. The queen had on
a straw colored toque and a fur collarette
and cloak. Both the king and queen looked
extremely well. and continuously bowed
their Acknowledgements of the warm well
come extended to them.
No Great Crush Anywhere.
Partly In consequence of the length Of the
route there was nowhere great crush of
people, with the exception of open spaces.
like Trafalgar square, where the London
address of welcome, and where the Boer
generals, Betha, Delarey and De Wet were
prominent among the spectators. and at
the city boundary, Temple Bar, where the
lord mayor sheriffs and other city officials
welcomed his majesty and presented him
with the city's sword.
At the Mansion House most of the pro-
cession stopped, their majesties from there
being accompanied only by the sovereigns
and the Prince of Wales the Duke of Con-
naught and other princes equerries and
aids to the guild hall. where they arrived
without any extraordinary incident.
Owing to the kings carriage being the
last some confusion occurred at the en-
trance of the guild hall in an endeavor to
empty the carriages quickly and avoid keep
ing his majesty waiting.
When the king arrived he looked tired
and stepped heavily from his carriage. The
queen threw off the wrap which covered
her simple straw-colored dress, trimmed
with gold Her majesty, who looked mar
veousy youthful and well. accepted
bouquet from the Lady Mayoress and the
king shook hands with her. The procession
then started off down long, picturesque
row of "beef-eaters'' and the equerries and
generals struggled in behind. Among the
last was the Prince of Wales, who was
rather long In dismounting. He came run
ming up, scarcely recognized and nearly
shut out by the Gordon of policemen who
gathered about the doors.

CAPT. IRoWNELL's CASE.
Will Probably Be Referred to the At.
torney General.

The Secretary of War will probably refer
the case Of Captain Cornelius NJ. Brownell,
late of the 26th Volunteer Infantry, to the
Attorney General for such action as he
may deem necessary. Captain BrowneIl Is
one of the officers charged by Mr.. Charles
Francis Adams and associates of the So
called Anti-Imperialistic League with the
torture Of Father Augustine, priest cap
tured with the insurgents in the Philip
pines.
Inasmuch as Captain Brownen is now en-
gagged in civil pursuits and Is beyond the
jurisdiction of the military authorities It is
likely that the case will be referred to the
department for such proceedings as may be
possible under the circumstances.
