London, May 1.-THE whole court
and all London are absorbed In the
preparations for the funeral Of King
Edward, which will be the most impos-
ing ceremonial the British capital ever
has witnessed. Thirty thousand SOL
diers will be brought from Aldershot

streets Friday when the procession
passes.
As there Is no room to embarrack
the soldiers over night they will BIZ

II Is expected that 700, 200 persons
will pass through Westminster Hall to
look upon the coffin. Barriers are be-
ing built by means of which the people
will be ushered through in four lines
at the rate Of $4,000 an hour. The
body Of the late king will not be ex-
posed TO view. The mourners will see
only the coffin with the official regalia
and heaps Of flowers.
The flowers contributed by organi-
cations and individuals will represent
many thousands Of dollars In value.
The most elaborate wreath was sent
from Windsor, consisting Of costly
white flowers, interviewer with pur-

Monster Fighting Machine viii Garry
Grew Of 1000 Men.
New York, May 14.---The battleship
Florida, biggest Of the American
Dreadnoughts built thus far, was sue
cessfully launched at the Brooklyn
navy-yard yesterday in the presence Of
the vice-president Of the United States,
the secretary Of the navy, the naval
attaches of all the powers and crowd
Of 80, 900 enthusiasts, whom intermit-
tent rains failed to keep away.
The 21,s25-ton fighting leviathan,
built to carry 10 12-inch guns, glided
down the ways to the strains Of The
Star Spangled Banner, played by the
navy yard and the 29th infantry bands,
while the crowd cheered and hundreds
of river craft footed their noisy well
come.
The vessel was christened by Miss
Elizabeth Fleming, daughter Of ex-
Governor Fleming, of Florida.
Later when the Arkansas and the
Wyoming, now under construction, are
sfioat they will exceed the Florida In
size by 1900 tons, difference suffi-
cient to make pretty good little liner
in itself. The Florida herself is by no
means finished, for as she went off the
ways yesterday she was only about go
per cent advanced towards completion,
which means that she was not much
more than vast empty hull, and still
awaits the boilers and main and sec
ondary engines and armor and equip
ment that go TO make up the ship
ready for commission.
Probably there Is not a bsttleship
afoat that could tackle the Florida on

GRANGE TO FIGHT ASSEMBLY.
Ringing Resolutions Passed In Clos
ing Hours Of Meeting.

Oregon City - The Oregon State
Grange went on record as opposed TO
the assembly. A ringing resolution
was adoped practically unanimously,
condemning the effort TO remove polit-
ical power from the people, and sup
porting the idea Of government by the
people directly. Without discussion
the resolution was passed, II having
been considered by the committee and
reported for adoption.
Two problems Of overwhelming i'm.
portance were before the grange-good
roads and the advancement Of govern
ment by the people. On tho good
roads proposition the grange took an
advanced position, recommending that
the Legislature abolish all restrictions
against indebtedness as TO such i'm
provcments, leaving the people as the
sole judges Of the work TO be done and
the manner Of payment for IL.
The grange was opposed to tho re-
turn Of the assembly, and at no time
was there In evidence any indication Of
defeat Of the resolution condemning II.
The work Of the grange occupied a
great deal OF time and the important
resolutions were left until the last day.
After making every effort TO clear the
secretary's desk Of accumulated busi-
ness and laboring until after the time
set for adjournment, number Of i'm
portant resolutions were still on the
table. A resolution was passed laying
on the table for lack Of time the pro-
posed tax amendment, with others,
leaving the matters TO the action Of
the people at the polls.
