London, May 2o-Today the en-
pire mourned and surrendered its
royal dead. After the funeral rites
due one to whom the laws of the
land gave the first place in honor,
dignity and power" the body of Ed
ward VII, the thirty-sixth in the line
Of sovereigns of England since the
Norman conquest, lies in the crypt of
st. Georges chapel royal at Windsor,
nearby the royal tomb house where it
will have its final resting place.
Throughout England, Sunday
quiet prevailed. All the trains and
street cars came to a standstill for
fifteen minutes at the hour the cor
tege started from the Westminster
hall. At the naval station minute
guns were fired during the progress
of the procession and the ships bells
tolled. In this city the public build
ings were fairly hidden with black
and purple while every private resi-
dence showed some emblem Of mourn
ing.
The body was carried through the
streets of the capitol today in the
presence of many hundred thousand
subjects and with the kings Of nine
European nations, several future rul-
ers, members of all the royal families
of the world and the former presi-
dent of the United States following the
casket from Westminster hall to Pad
dington station.
The cortege moved through solid
double lines of red coated soldiers
standing with rifles reversed and the
regimental colors dipped to the
casket was placed in the funeral car
the church of England services he'd
been conducted by the Archbishop OF
Canterbury In st. Georges chapel. 1t
chapel adjoining. ...
Majestic Spectacle.
No such professional spectacle had
been witnessed in London since Queen
Victoria's jubilee. The parade includ-
ed many of the greatest man Of the
kingdom with representatives of all
arms Of the service and delegations
from the most famous regiments Of
the empire and representative groups
Of the foreign armies and navies.
Behind the casket, upon which rest
ed the imperial symbols, followed the
late kings charger, while his favorite
terrier was led by Highland soldier
just before the imperial ensign.
| American Democracy.
King George, Emperor William and
several other members Of the royalty
wore the uniforms of British gener-
ais. No parsonage in the parade at
tracted greater interest than did
American ambassador, whose civilian
clothes contrasted curiously with the
gilded state coach with it's white
wigged and silk stockinged flunkies
in which he rode. Representatives of
the two great republics, the United
States and France. we're given posi-
ton at the rear Of all the royalties,
and the prince of the pettiest Of Euro
pean states. Their carriage followed
those carrying the royal ladies and
they were the last in the line of rep
resentatives of the foreign govern
ment. The Duke of Orleans was given
precedence as the envoy Of the French
people.
The booming of minute guns and the
tolling Of bells accompanied the move
ment of the procession. while the
bands in turn played "The Dead
March" from Saul and Chopin's "Fu-
neral March," The morning was clear
and the hot sun beat upon, the great
mass of humanity that lined the route
of the procession. 1t is doubtful that
so many people were ever before seen
in London. At the Mall. in st. James
street. and at Hyde park. the throng
almost overwhelmed the procession.
The police and soldiers had to fight
to prevent the lines being swept away
by the crush. There were many
broken limbs and other injuries were
received. Hundreds Of persons faint
ed. among them many women who had
been standing on the pavements for
hours before the procession left West
minister hall.
