The funeral and burial We're conducted
with all the pOmp and ceremony of which
che state was capable, despite tine wish
expressed by The monarch IN his viii that
the Obsequies should be of the simplest.
A holiday had been proclaimed, and
thousands of persons filled the streets

body was taken from the royal palace TO
the cathedral of ST. Michel and Ste
Guadele, where impressive funeral rites
were held From the church the cOTtege
moved to Laeken, where repose the bones
of Leopold 1, Queen Louise and those Of
leOpOlds immediate family whom he had
survived.
A torrential rain accompanied by a
wind, ushered in the day but as the
Cortege left the royal palace and moved
10 the cathedral the dOwnpOur ceased.
Scene in Cathedral.
The imperial nave of the cathedral was
decorated with long tapestry of black
bOrdCred with white and forming a SOM
Der background for the famous statues
of the apostles. The majestic catafalque,
surmOunted by the crown and embedded
IN a mass Of glowing tapers, rested IN
the center OF the transept On each side
were streamers OF mourning suspended
from the dome. The main altar was
ablaZe with candles In the body Of the
church were grouped foreign princes, dip
lomats, delegations and government Off
cials.
The cortege entered the transept portal
headed by officers Of the army and civic
guard in fun uniform and the judges in
their scarlet robes, the ministers, mem
bers of parliament and many priests.
The priests intonatiOn of de PrOfun-
dis filled the great edifice as the huge
cross appeared, followed by Cardinal
MOrTier, the archbishop of MetineS. whose
tail figure and pale AsiatiC face gave add
ed solemnity to the occasion. Behind the
velvet covered Casket walked Prince AL
bert, wearing the uniform of general
Requiem Mass.
A requiem mass was celebrated by the
cardinal The famous collegiate choir

The mass was followed by the rites Of
absOluti0n performed over the body by
five bishops and the papal nunciO. This
concluded, the cOrIege was reformed, and
proceeded to the church at Laeken, where
the burial was made.
AS the military cOrtege left the cathedTaF

NEED BUREAU OF MINES
Terrible Loss of Life in This Country
in Disasters Which Could Be
Averted.

Washington, Dec. 22.-Headquarters Of
the American Mining congress have been
opened here to promote the establishment
of a national bureau of mines. President
Taft and Secretary BaIlinger of the inte-
rior department are said to favor such
bureau.
'The only difficulty in the way of the
establishment of such a bureau said
James F. Galbreath, Jr., of Denver, sec
rotary of the congress, ''lies in the fact
that many persons do not realize the
terrible conditions that prevail I'm the min
ing industry and how much we need the
aid of the federal government In the
last three decades more than 10000 men
have been killed and 900 injured in
coal mines alone, a majority of those in
jured being rendered helpless for life. In
1907 3,125 men lost their lives in the coal
mines, or nearly five men I'm every min
ing camp of loo men. Contrast this
with the one or two men killed i'm every
thousand employed in foreign countries
where they have bureaus of mines that
are making a thorough study Of causes Of
disasters

Midvale is without fire protection ex-
CepJng from a volunteer bucket brigade
and within a few minutes after the fire
started it was seen that the Allen sa-
loon and the Fair store on either side
were doomed. The Royal cafe building
was torn down in an effort TO check the
spread of the flames, which finally COM
municated to the Opera House block,
burning away the stairs.
The fire department of the United States
Smelling company was finally called out
and further damage was prevented.
At the regular meeting of the city cOun-
ell last night the question of providing
fire protection for the town was dis
Cussed. Mayor HyrUm Golf was appoint
ed a committee of one to interview the
mana cement Of the local smelters to see
if the offer made Is months ago still held
good.
This offer was to the effect that if the
town would construct mains and furnish
equipment the mains could be connected
with the immense pumping plant at the
smelters in time of fire. 1t is believed
that the smelter management will repeat
this offer and il is probable that it will
be accepted by the city authorities.

GOOD RESULTS SHOWN
Treasury Department Officials Con-
graduating Themselves Upon Re-
covering Stolen Money.

washington, Dec. 22.-Treasury officials
are congratulating themselves that, with
the closing Of 1909, splendid results have
been accomplished in the rehabilitation Of
the customs service. particularly at New
York and in the rounding up of persons
and corporations through whom the gov
eminent has been cheated out of mil
lions Of dollars. The department is still
continuing its Investigations into the
losses sustained by the underweighing Of
sugar.
The officials are keeping mum as to the
personality of the individual higher up"
in the sugar frauds against whom an in
dictment is expected every day.
The fact that the American Sugar Re
filming company contemplated filing
claim for half a million dollars for losses
alleged to have been sustained since 1907
by overweights, has been known IN Wash
ington for some time. Last summer the
attorney for the company mentioned the

ESTRADA VICTORY
IS PLEASING NEWS
Revolutionary Chieftain Ex-
peCted to Capture Managua
in Very Few Days.

Washington, Dec. 22.-Late tonight nc
official news Of the progress Of events III
Nicaragua had been received by DR.. Cas-
ulllO. representative in Washington OF
the Estrada government.
There was general rejoicing, however,
over the reported extent Of Estrada's vie
tory, and this satisfaction was not con-
fined to the Nicaraguan Dartisans Prac-
tically all Central American diplomats
Joined IN the celebration that marked the
downfall of Zelaya who long has been
recognized as disturbing factor in Cen
tral America.
IT is believed here that Estrada will
proceed next to GreytOwn and compel the
surrender of government troops bottled
up III that place Tor more than month.
This may take some time. The country
between Bluefields and Greytown is
difficult to negotiate especially for an
army As the crow flies ii is only sixty
miles, but a wide detOur probably will
have to be taken, almost doubling the
distance, since the news of the defeat of
the Zelayan troops at Bluefields is con-
Neyed to the GreytOWn garrison, the de
feat of that force, it is expected by the
revoluuOnist supporters here, viii be easy.
When that is accomplished, the next move
Of Estrada will be to capture the small
towns along San Juan river, which flows
past GreytOwn and couples Lake NiCara-
qua with the sea. In this manner the
revOluuOnists will have a clear connec-
ton with their base on the seaboard and
viii then move swiftly toward ManagUa.
In the opinion of those who have trav-
ersed the country, the march of the vic
tOriOus Estrada army, even if It is not
opposed, Will take from six to seven
days before Managua is within hailing
distance. Most of the journey, it is ex-
pected, viii be made by steamers
or launches. and the landing Will be made
near the capital or in a territory in which
fairly good roads are known.
No news of the reported gathering of
HOnduran malcontents in Nicaraguan ter
ritoTy had been received by the Guate-
mala or the HOnduran ministers tonight.
The alleged revolution Is not taken seri-
Ously, especially so since the United
States has so fOrcefully and firmly made
known its policy with regard to the ne
cessity for keeping the peace among the
Central American republics

NanSen Breaks His Long ST.
IenCe and DenoUnCeS Cook
as an ImpOstOr Unworthy of
the Worlds Confidence,
IN COPENHAGEN

Washington, Dec. 22.-Reaffirm-
ing his complete confidence in Dr..
Cook, Rear Admiral W. S. schley, re-
tired, today called upon Commander
Peary to submit his proofs that he
reached the pole to some scientific
body other than the National Geo
graphic society.
This, the admiral declared, should
be done at once in the interest Of JUS
tiee and to establish beyond question
the claims Of Peary.
The admiral believes that the same
body which threw out and repudiated
Cooks data should be permitted to pass
upon the data submitted by Peary TO
the Geographic society.
THE Danes are the best posted body
of men I'm the world on arctic matters.
he said, THE cOusistOry of the Uni
versity of Copenhagen should be given
the opportunity 10 examine the Peary
proofs, for i'm that way they would be
submitted to the same test that was
applied to those Of Cook. The consistory.
which was regarded by the civilized
world as more than friendly to Or.
Cook, showed by its action in turning
down the explorer that it holds the
scales of justice, as it sees thems evenly
and honestly"
Peary Should Insist.
Moreover, Admiral schIey believes
that the submission Of the proofs 10
Copenhagen should be Insisted upon By
Peary, whatever the attitude of the
National Geographic society may be.
1t was suggested 60 the officer that the
society some time ago officially declared
its intention to let scientific bodies Of
reputable standing examine and test the
Peary proofs when they had been
passed upon by the society.
But the organization has not done
it. he retOrted quickly. $50 far there
has been shown no disposition to carry
out its ayowed intentions, has there?''
Admiral Schley declined to say on
what grounds he took exceptions to the
finding Of the scientists Of the UNIVERSE
ty Of Copenhagen I'm regard to Cooks
claims He merely reafirmed his belief
in the explorer, adding that he believed
also that Peary too, had gained the top
Of the earth.
