Roosevelt and the American people, and the other to Queen Amelie, con- veying the heartfelt respects of the American nation. The bodies of the King and Grown Prince were viewed by the members of the diplomatic corps this afternoon. They lie in the royal chapel.
 Affecting Scene.
 The body of King Carlos was placed in its coffin yesterday, after which the Queen mother, Maria Pia, Queen Ams- lie, his wife, and Manuel, his son, were admitted to view the remains. There was then a painful and heart-rending scene, for the two Queens and the young King broke down and wept bit terly. Maria Pia had been kneeling in prayer beside the body of the King. Suddenly victim of uncomfortable emotion, she grasped the dead mans hands in hers and kissed them repeat edly. Her face was streaming with tears. Friends were obliged to sever her gently though forcibly from the side of the bier. When the wife and son of the dead monarch were admitted to the mortuary chamber they knelt in prayer, tears flowing from their eyes and their voices choked with emotion.
 It was midnight when the body in it's coffin was solemnly transported to the royal chapel All the doctors and high officials of the palace were in at tendance. The head priest attached to the palace led the procession, carrying in his hands the palace cross. He was followed by the palace major domo, and then came a group of courtiers and other officials. Behind the coffin marched the Duke of Oporto. the Kings brother; and Vice Admiral Capcllo, the latter bear ing the Kings plumed hemlet and sword. rHl fa& n Ina Rn tege passed On the breast of the dead King were various insignia and orders and his hands were encased in white gloves. In his fingers was rosary the beads being black pearls. As the pro- cession moved slowly along. priests re- cited the prayers for the dead, while from afar could be heard the boom of cannon on board the warships. When the final prayers were said the palace church bells broke out in a rythmic and cadenced dirge. A similar ceremony marked the transfer of the body of the Crown Prince to the royal chapel. The face of the young man was covered with Portu- guese flag to hide his wound.
 King Was Poor Man.
 King Carlos died poor man. His entire fortune consisted of insurance pol icies, held by the Bank of Portugal as security for advances made. After these repayments have been made, it is de- clared there will not remain more than S30,00O to be distributed to the heirs of the King Senhor Machedo, the leader of the republican party, in an interview today. denied indignantly that there was any connection between his party and the assassns, which tragedy the party deeply regretted. Machedo explained that the republicans were an oppositonal group, that their course had been per fectIy legal and that nothing was fur ther from their mind than a propaganda of force. He said he was certain the monarchical regime in Portugal was doomed and that it would die out peace fully within a few years. There would. however, be no violence. The days of the barricade are gone forever, Machedo said, and in this age ballots are more certain than bullets.
