gucse, poor and rich, humble and pre-
teutious, went slowly today through
the noble cathedral of St. Nincente to
gaze for the last time on the faces o.
their King and Crown Prince. When
night fell and the doors OF the church
were closed there was still a largt
crowd patiently awaiting admission.
They turned away disappointed when
informed that the public laying in
STATE. had been interrupted until to"
morrow. On that day at O'Clock IN
the afternoon the caskets Will be clos
ID and transported to the Pantheon,
where, with further ceremonies they

All the people today wore SOM
emblem ol mourning and in passing the
collins placed Deneath them floral OIL
teringa, some budding wild flowers
from the fields, others simple clusters

tiurs AID rare flowers. The bodies
were guarded constantly by officers OF
the army and navy, royal archers and

In official circles it is believed that
tne ceremony in connection with the
coronation of King Manuel may not
occur for two or three months and
perhaps may never occur, because the
young king wishes to inauGurate his
reign With as little ostentation as pos
sible. not unlike Gustave of Sweden.
Indications point to relative tran
guilty tor a few weeks. when Repub-
lcan activity and determination to
proclaim a republic. which appears
strongly In evidence. may force I'M
lurtant developments.
Queen Amelie, relating her expert
r.co Oh the day of the tragedy to an
iGiir&tc friend who congratulated her
cn her escape from death, said:
Il spread out my cloak to protect
LUZ Philippe. after seeing my husband
stretched lifcless on the cushions. 1
saw man levelling a weapon at me
and thought in that fateful moment
that at least my son will escape, that
| shall die like a true French woman
fer my adopted country and son, when
suddenly the murderer staggered and
fell"
The Queen added that she never
would leave her son Manuel, now King.
bat would remain at his side, aid
irg him with counsel and inspiring
him to do his duty and love his peo-
pie.
The Queen quoted Manuel as saying
to the premier:
mean to smooth the differences be-
tween the warning political factions
and on this depends the existence of
the monarchy l will follow your adj
vice always. Try to be first to suggest
measures likely to advance the welfare
OF Portugal. and l will stand or fall
with my ministers"
The authorities have given permits
sion to the families of the dead regi-
cides to bury them. STIMULATING, how
ever. that the funerals must be held
at night. Special precautiOn will be
taken to prevent the occasion from be-
ing taken advantage of to make Il rev.
demonstration.
