 ROSKILDE, Denmark, Feb. 19.-The magnificent old gothic church here presented brilliant spectacle when King Christian K, amid the thunder of guns, the sonorous tones of the or gan and the blare of trumpets, was laid to rest with the long line of his predecessors on the Danish throne, whose remains repose in the side of the chapels in Roskilde's red stone fane.
 The coffin lay in the chapel beneath black and gold baldachin, supported by high officers in full dress uniform. The only decoration on 1t was a golden branch, tribute from the children of Denmark. Leaning against the altar rails were floral tributes from foreign monarchs and members of the Danish royal family. The choir was filled with members of the clergy, whose quaint black gowns and white ruffs formed a striking background to the blaze of gold laced uniforms of the dip lomatic body occupying the corner of the choir.
 Here MT. O'Brien, the American min. ister, in simple evening dress, was . remarkable exception. As MT. O'Brien was personally representing President Roosevelt. the Danish government had given him an attache of honor, M. Sea venius, of the foreign office.
 The scene was brilliant in the ,ex- treme, the only sign of mourning being the black floor cloth, which served to throw relief on the bright colors and the flashing gold and silver lace of the uniforms of the military deputations and. foreign suits which awaited the arrival of the royal mourners near the i entrance to the church.
 The members of the riksdag and of the folkething. having deposited wreaths on the coffin. just before 2 o'clock Queen Alexandra, the dowager empress of Russia, the queen of Den. mark, the Duchess of Cumberland and the other royal ladies emerged from the apse and seated themselves in the front row of chairs to the left of the coffin. Then a stir at the door of the cathedral heralded the arrival of the king and Emperor William of Ger many, and while the organ played Beethoyen's majestic funeral march the royal procession swept up the cen ter aisle. King Frederick was attired as Danish general Emperor VII liam, in the uniform of Danish ad miral, walked at his left and the king of Greece at his right, both keeping little behind him. King Haakon and the other royal personages and the rep resentatives of foreign sovereigns fol lowed.
 To the strains of the funeral marcf composed by Hartmann on the occa I sion of the death in 1844 of Albert Der | tel Thorvaldsen, Denmark's grea sculptor, which was accompanied by trumpets and cymbals, eight of1ceri carried the coffin from the chance across to the Chapel of Frederick V.
 It was an impressive moment. Al the solemn notes pealed forth the win dows of the cathedral were shaken by a salute of twenty-one guns from battery outside. while simultaneously in the, town all flags were hoisted iron half mast to the masthead in honor ol the new king.
 A short wait ensued while the cof fin was being deposited in the sar cophagus. Then King Frederick ana Queen Louisa. followed by Empero William and Queen Alexandra. whom the emperor assisted from her chair and King Haakon and the dowage empress of Russia, the four walking abreast, proceeded to the chapel. wher' Dr. Paulli read the burial service Ii strict privacy and in the presence onlI of the royal personages. the foreigI representatives and the ministers Earth being thrice thrown on the cof
