Premier Asquith, in the house of COM
mons, and the Earl of Grove, in the

emotion.
The day was chiefly devoted to re-
cording the nations official condol-
ences to the royal family. King George
and the queen mother received at the
palace, respectively, deputations from
the lords and commons bearing the
resolutions. Numbers of beautiful
wreaths are arriving at the palace, but
at the queen mothers special request
all flowers Will be sent to Windsor

tary character and it is considered that
carrying wreaths in procession would
be somewhat incongruous.
