MANY FLORAL OFFERINGS

Lisbon, February 9.-rhousands of Portuguese, poor and rich, humble and pfetentious, filed slowly today through the noble cathedral of San Vincente and sazed for the last time on the faces Of their King d Crown Prince. When night fell and the doors of the church closed there was still a large crowd pa tlenty awaiting admission They turned away disappointed when informed that the public laying-in-state had been inter- rupted until tomorrow On that day at o'clock in the afternoon the caskets Will be closed and transported to the pantheon. where with further ceremonies they will be placed in the sepulchre.
 All the people W, re some emblem of mourning and in passing the collins placed beneath. them,fora offerings. some budding. .wild' f'Ttrers from the fields oth- CTS smT ( 1&2fs of violets and others elaborate 5c.7 s. The collins were guarded constaS by officers of the army and navy, the palace guards Masses were sa iI various altars for the dead and were offered in many homes. '@l
 During the afi 9 isg square in front of the church, 70 ded by soldiers became danger q ed with people who had poured ic various sec tions of the city 4n. lvirons. Many were knocked down, tcially women and children and M m, tainted both within the church al wi tie waiting on the streets A child who was crushed to the ground under the sorging mass striving for admission was dead when finally lifted from under the feet of the crowd

 Indications point to relative tranquility for few weeks, when republican activi- ety and. determination 10 proclaim a re-. pulic which appeal strongly in evil dence may force important developments.
 Queen Tells Experience.
 Queen Amelie relating her experience on the day of the tragedy to an in innate friend who congratulated her on her escape from death said:
 T spread out my cloark to protect Louis Philippe, after seeing my hus- band stretched ifeless on the cushions. I saw man levelling a weapon at me and I thought in that fateful moment that at least my son will escape, that l shall die like a true French woman for my adopted country and son, when sud denly the murderer staggered and fell.
 The Queen added that she would never leave her son Manuel, now King, but would remain at his side, aiding him with coun- sel and inspiring him to do his duty and love his people.
 The Queen quoted Manuel as saying to the premier:

 The authorities have given permission to the families of the dead regicides to bury them, stipulating. however, that the funerals must be held at night.
 Special precautions will be made to prevent the occasion to be taken ad- vantage of to make a revolutionary dem onstration.
