Lisbon, Feb. S.--The body of King Carlos was placed in it's coffin Thurs day, after which the queen mother. Maria Pia, Queen Amelia, his wife. and Manuel, his son, were admitted to view the remains. There was then a painful and heartrending scene, for two queens, broke down and wept. Maria Pia had been kneeling beside the body in prayer Suddenly she grasped the dead mans hands in hers and kissed them repeatedly. Her face was streaming with tears Friends were obliged to remove her gently When the wife and son of the dead monarch were admitted to the nor tuary chamber they knelt in prayer, tears flowing from their eyes and their voices choked with emotion. It was midnight when the body, in its coffin was solemnly transported to the royal chapel. All the doctors and high of ficials of the palace, were in attend ance. The head priest attached to the palace led the procession carry ing in his hands the palace cross. He was followed by group of courtiers and other officials. Behind the coffin marched the Duke of Oporto, the kings brother, and Vice-admiral Cap ello, the latter bearing the kings plumed helmet and sword The troops presented arms as the cortage passed. On the king were various signs and orders. On his fingers was a rosary, the beads being black peArls. As the procession moved slowly priests oe- 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 q rythmic and cadenced dirge. A simi- lar ceremony marked the transfer of the body of the crown prince to the royal chapel. The face of the young man was covered with a Portugese flag to hide his wound.
 King Carlos died poor man. His eptire fortune consisted of insurance policies held by the Bank of Portugal as security for advances made. After these repayments have been made it is declared, that there will not remain more than $30.000 to be distributed to the heirs of the king.

Policemen surrounded the car to keep back the curious crowd. There was no hostile demonstration. The Spanish govern ment detailed a detective to accom- pany Franco to the frontier.
