MORE P0MP At
KINGS FUNERAL;
LONDON IS QUIET
Body Will Probably Be Borne
to Westminster Abbey in
State Before Burial.

LONDON, May 10.--The city is again
assuming a comparatively normal as
pect. Except for the appearance of
mourning emblems along the streets,
the fiuttering Of flags at half-mast and
the drawn blinds at, the leading club
houses and in the government offices,
a stranger visiting London today would
find but little outward evidence of the
momentous occurrences which have at
tracted the attention of the world
within the past three days.
The ordinary life of the metropolis
again has fallen back to its accus-
toned channels. Meantime however,
preparations are going forward for the
imposing state funeral which will be
given to the late monarch These ar
rangements are being made behind
closed doors. the chief officers of the
royal household and of the cabinet
shaping the various preliminaries. Thus
far little Of the detail has been made
public.
Chief attention today was centred in
the first meeting of the cabinet since
the return of Premier Asquith, follow
ing the death of King Edward. 1t
does not appear, however, that the
ministers gave any special considera-
ton to the grave political questions
now pending. They discussed the ap-
pointment of q committee to revise the
civil list, as is necessitated by the
change of society. The question of the
future policy of the government in re-
gard to the constitutional issue was
touched upon, but If any conclusion
was reached no announcement to that
effect was made. .t
Contrary to the original intention that
the body of King Edward should be
quietly and privately removed from
Buckingham Palace to Westminster
Hall on next Tuesday, it has now been
decided that the removal shall be ac-
companied with considerable ceremo-
nial, and the cortege will be an imposing
military spectacle. The House of Com
mons will assemble in the morning and
repair in a body to Westminster Hall
to receive the body.
Following the three days during
which the body will lie in state, it is
| possible that instead of the funeral
procession proceeding direct to Pad
dington station. the casket Will be
borne to Westminster Abbey for the
reading of the first part of the burial
service. According to this plan the serv-
! ice would be completed later in the day
at Windsor Castle.
All the churches throughout the
United Kingdom are arranging TO hold
memorial services upon the day of the
state funeral.
