King Edward VII. was carried
through the streets of the capital
today in the presence of many
hundred thousand subjects, and
with the kings of nine European.
nations, several future rulers,
members of all the royal families
of the world, and a former presi-
dent of the United States follow
ing the casket from Westminster
hall to Paddington station. The
cortege moved through solid dou-
BILE lines of relocated soldiers,
standing with rifles reversed and
the regimental colors dipped to the
ground.
At the railway station the casket
was placed in a funeral car and
taken to Windsor, where, after the
Church Of England service had
been conducted by the Archbishop
of Canterbury in st. Georges
chapel, it was entsmbed in the
Albert memorial chapel adjoining.
No such professional spectacle
has been witnessed in London
since Queen Victoria's jubilee.
The parade included many Of the.
greatest men of the kingdom, with
representatives Of all arms Of the
service and delegations from the
most famous regiments of the en-
pire and representative groups Of
foreign armies and navies.
Behind the casket, on which
rested the imperial symbols, fol-
lowed the late kings charger,
while his favorite terrier was led
by a highland soldier just before
the imperial ensign.
King George, Emperor William
and several other members of roy
atty wore the uniforms of British
generals. No parsonage in the pa
rade attracted greater interest
than did Theodore Roosevelt, the
special American ambassador,
whose civilian clothes contrasted
curiously with the gilded state
coach with it's white-wigged and
silk-stockinged funkies, within
which he rode.
Republics Are Sighted.
The representatives of the two great
republics, the United States and
France, were given a position at the
rear of all the royalties and the prince
of the pettiest of European states. Their
carriage followed those carrying the
royal ladies, and they were the last In
the line Of representatives of foreign
governments. The Duke Of Orleans,
was given precedence as the envoy of
the French people.
Thu booming OF minute guns and the
tolling Of bells accompanied the move
rnent of the procession, While the bands
in turn played THE Dead March from
Saul and "Chopin's Funeral March"
The morning was clear and q hot sun
beat on the great mass of humanity
that lined the route of the procession.
II Is doubtful IL 50 many people We're

women who had been standing on the

Last View of Family.
King George. the queen mother, Alex

cession started. n spent some min
utes before the casket. Emperor Will
lam, who was at the entrance as they
appeared, dismounted and, waving the
lackeys aside, opened the door of the
queen mothers carriage, helped her out
and then kissed her or the cheek.
The procession started from the hall
at $50 o'clock. just as the first minute

by the funeral of Queen Victoria nine
years ago was closely followed. The
