DEAD MONARCH EUIoGIzED

copenhzxen, Feb. 4.--There was an impressive memorial service over the body of King Christian In the Garden" room of the palace today. All the present. but otherwise the ceremony was strictly private
 Early in the day representative of the Associated Press was permitted tp vieit tho Garden" room. It Is called
 Garden shoai' becanse the windoTa open on the beautiful palace eardens
 A striking feature of zoe lying in state of the monarch ia It's extreme simplicity and the abundant evidence of loving reverence of the members Of the royal family, who spend most or their time in the room arranging the flowers and disposing of newly aFriw- ling wreaths and floral designs. Two sentries of the foot guards. weafing old fashioned busbies, stand at tiia door. sA 4Ns
 The only occupants of the room ak the time of the correspondents visit tafts and a lackey. who will remain on duty beside the coffin until t is removed to its resting place within the grey walls of Roskilde
 The coffin lies in the middle Of the room before sne gaze of the Danish kings and queens. whose pictures .atse the Ted tapestried walls. It is covered with two Danish flags and lies amid banks of the rarest flowers and sur rounded by wreaths. lilies. pink and white roses. violets lilies of the vallay and carnations.
 On the coffin is the brass helmet with its plume and the crossed sword and scabbard worn by King Christian when he was the captain of the .SanlGa horse guards, the standards Of which regiment are planted on either side of the head flanking two enormous silver candeIabra from the collection oe the Danish Kings at Rosenberg
 The entire absence of black from the Garden" room is noteworthy. The red walls. giIded window frames and tho muIti-culored flowers. among which the kings favorite magma charta rose predomiuates, completely removes the gloom of the usual death chaEpber. the whole grouping rather suggests the glorious crowning Of an honofed life. < Tnis note was also struck by tho prayers and sermons in all -ae church es today in which King Christian was euIogized not so much as a monarch. but as a splendid pattern for every Christian.

UNION PARTY IS SPLIT UP

London. Feb 5.-That there Is split in the UnioLists party is recognized as an existing fact by the Unfonists news papers this morning. They say it is definitely known that Mir. Balfopr and MT Chambeflaif have agreed C dis- agree and that 1t Is believed Mir Cham beriain will withdraw from his adhe- sion to Baifour and organize a separ- ate party on tariff reform. This, 1t is admitted by Tho Standafds The Morning Post and other Unicnists newspapers, would be the only course open to Mir. Chamberlain.g unless. in- deed, Mr. Balfour decides to call a meeting of the party s and allow it's members to discuss the question of leadership. Even then, the newspapers say, ft is not believed that either Mir. Baifour Or Mir. Chamberlain will reeede, the former premier having told MT. Chamberlain that he would net accept ais tariff reform policy.
 s The whole eItuation form the politi- cal sensation, of the hour and nothing else Is discussed in the R5iitical clubs. It was stated very efnphatically yes terday that if MT Baltour would not agree to call the neetihg of the party, former Secretary of the Hcme Anairs Aixers- Douglaes would be appointed leader ad Interim until Mr.- BaIfour is returned to Parliament by the city ot London,
 There iss, still a remote chance of Walter HumeIong, former president of the iocal Government Board, being asked to accept the leadership under a compromise, but we'll informed per- sons soy positively that Mir. Baifour willr refuse anything like compromise, while Mir. Chamberlain insists on stand ing for proteftion.
 1t Is even intimated that the invita- tton to MT. BalfCur to stand for the seat for the city of London resigned in his favor by Aiban H. Globes may be withdrawn unless he goes over to Mir. Chamberlain, but this Is believed to be hardly likely.
 The Liberals will decide today wheth- CT they will contest the seat for the city of London and In view Of the lat- est developments there is a Likelihood of Mr. Ralfour having to light for it.

 As all the members Of the board arc anxious to depart for their homes, an effort will be made to adjourn the board meeting some time tomorrow. President Mitchell will leave irl- mediateIy for the East to prepare for the meeting with the operators of the anthracite field, February i9. An interesting situation in this connection has come about as result of tho resolution passed by the natianal con vention providing that no district shall sign any wage argreement until all have obtained satisfactory settle ment.
 This resolution. has been definitely explained by w. D. Ryan. secretary treasurer of the Illino:s district. who proposed #: By Vice~President Tom l.. Lewis, who placed tho motion before the convention, to include "every dis trict under the Jurisdiction of the United Mine Workers of America. whether anthracite. bituminous or block coal regions in the United States and Canada"
 Under the ruling the wage scale eoinmittee appointed by the Anthra- cite miners in their shamokin conven- tion early in December. will have no power to sign contract. even is their demands are conceded by the antiIra- cite operators. unless the miners of all other distflets affect an agreement with their employers.
