Remains of Dead Prince
Now Lie In State


Kahilis waved and mourners walled
last night at midnight when the casket
containing the mortal remains of the
| late Prince David Kawananakoa was
borne on the shoulders Of twelve of his
former friends from the Kawananakoa
home on Pensacola street and placed
| in the waiting hearse for conveyance
to the Capitol, where the body will lie
in state today.
The scene at the home of the dead
ali last night was a solemn one but
of the greatest interest. For days past
watchers have sat beside the casket,
waving kahilis over the dead body,
while chanters have recited the glories
of the ancestors of the illustrious dead.
Last night the lanais We're crowded
with mourners, friends of the dead
Prince and the Princess and others.
Through the evening dirges were sung
and meles chanted, while never ceas-
ing the kahilis swept back and forth,
up and down, in perfect unison above
the bier, the kahili bearers wearing
the feather capes of the retainers of
royalty.
AT the head Of the casket stood the
tabu stick. a gilded sphere pierced by
an ivory handle, the same tabu stick
that stood before the late prince when
he was crowned Prince of the Realm,
and the same used at the coronation
of King KaIakaua. On a pillow be-
of the late King, while before the
casket, covered with the yellow flowers
of royalty, was the great crown wreath
which had arrived on the U. S. S.
Charleston, when that vessel sailed
from San Francisco with the body of
King Kalakaua. Covering the casket
was placed a priceless feather cloak,
while about the room, behind the ka-
hills, were very many floral wreathes.
At midnight, when, according to the
Hawaiian custom, only may the bodies
of royalty be removed from their
homes, the watchers rose and formed
a lane from the door across the lanai
to the steps. Through this lane came
the pan-bearers, carrying the heavy
casket, placing it in the waiting hearse,
while the kahili bearers large and
small, grouped about the black draped
vehicle Then, to the solemn chanting
of the rnourners and in almost perfect
darkness, the procession to the Capitol
was begun.
1t had been expected that this cor
tege would have been lighted by kukui
nut torches, but it was explained last
night that the ceremonials of the royal

casionally, as a passing automobile
swept the length of the procession with
/ its search lights. the disposition of the
mourners in the line could be noted,
but as a rule only the fitful CLEANS
from the two dim lights on the hearse
itself broke the inky darkness of the
| streets through which the body came
Ahead marched a squad of police,
while behind the hearse were the men,
bers of some Of the Hawaiian societies,
and wagon bearing the kahili stands
and the floral wreathes for the throne
room.
At the Capitol, which was reached
at one o'clock this morning, a large
number of people were gathered, the
majority being Hawaiians. Along the
King street side of the grounds and
massed on either side of the drive from
the gate to the Capitol steps were
massed scores of hacks and many au-
tomobiles filled with watchers for the
arrival of the body and the mourners.
Queen Liliuokalani, who had been at
the house with the Princess HAVANA
nakoa, did not remain until midnight,
leaving for her home shortly after ten
o'clock. The Princess herself was pros
trated last night. the long strain hav-
ing been too much for her, resulting
in fainting spell early in the evening.
1t was out of Difference to her wishes
that a great part of the wailing was
dispensed with.
LYING IN STATE.
Yesterday afternoon the work of ar
ranging the throne room for the re-
ception of the body was begun under
the direction of Ernest Parker, the
stepbrother of the Princess Kawanana-
koa. After consulting with a number
of authorities the positions of the va
rious kahilis were mapped out, the dais
was draped with black, ferns and
palms arranged about the great room
and everything cleared out for the
placing of the casket, the stationing
of the guards and the official mourners.
Kahilis to the number of one hundred
and seven, great and small, were ar
ranged for, these arriving with the
body, while the floral tokens of esteem
and mourning, in great masses, were
delivered at the Capitol shortly after
ten O'Clock.
Further preparations for the lying
in state of the remains of the dead
ali were made by draping the front
