London, May l6.-AlI i.oLQon, nom
high court dignltarles 0owE tc trades
men and laborers. are absorbed In the
preparations for the funeral Ct King
Edward next Friday. which Promises
to be the most imposing spectacle the
British capital has ever witnessed. A
decided military aspect will be given
the cortege. az 10000 troops vii: be
brought from Aldershot and other mil
TRY camps, who will line the streets
while the procession passes.
AS there Is no room to barrack the
| troops over night the soldiers will
bivouac In the parks and streets. The
city will have the appearance of an in.
vested town for two days. Some of the
soldiers will sleep In tents in the
parks, while the remainder will lie
down beside their guns in the streets
| of the city
1t Is expected that 100000 people
will pass through Westminster hall to
look upon the coffin. Barriers will be
| erected. by means Of which the people
will be ushered through the four lines
at the rate of $4,000 an hour. The body
of the late king will not be exposed
to view. The mourners will see only
the coffin, with the official regalia and
heaps of flowers.
Great Mounds Of Flowers.
The flowers alone contributed by
| organizations and individuals will rep
| resent many thousands of dollars In
| value. The most elaborate wreath has
been sent from Windsor, consisting Of
| costly white flowers, interviewer with
purple, which is the royal mourning
color. The wreaths contributed by
| private individuals, numbering thou
| sands, will be hung ON posts in the
streets.
The artillery horses. with gun car
! riages. were rehearsing through the
| streets along the line of march 80 as
| to avoid the possibility OF mishap
on Friday.
King George being SO closely iden-
| titled with the navy, the naval contin-
i gents will take a prominent part in
| the ceremonies. Blue jackets will draw
the gun carriages to Windsor as they
| did the carriage which bore the body
of Queen Victoria, although on that
occasion they did so because the
| horses became restive
The hymns which will be sung at
the service at Windsor are all of the
| queen mothers choice They are: My
God, My Father While | Stray" Now
the Laborer's Task Is Der" and y
Heard a Voice From Heaven
Soldiers f fom the Kings company
Grenadier Guards. are keeping watch
over the body in the throne room al
! buckingham palace. They are relieved
| each hour With simple ceremony
some one of the visiting ROYALTIES. who
are daily arriving, enters the room
every now and then, and the widowed
queen goes there frequently
Cheapest Seats at $50.
Fabulous prices are being paid IoI
seats in the stands along the line. So
being the lowest sum at which it Is
possible to get a place. The house
holders overlooking Trafalgar square
have sent protest to the lord cham
berlain for again changing the line ol
march, which cuts them off and de
prives them of their eagerly expected
profits.
Scotland Yard has all It's detectives
on duty, and these are reinforced b!
a hundred more from the Continenta
cities. All visitors are being watched
but there is little real fear of anar
chistic attempts, because it is known
that every one under surveillance
would be deported from England i
any trouble was caused on this occa
sion. and it is not likely that the per
sons of anarchisttc type will give
up voluntarily their safest refuge II
