funeral of King Edward VII. arrived in
London this morning, was received BY
King George at Marlborough House ano
later visited the throneroom fr Buck
ingham palace, where the body OF the
late monarch is privately lying in state.
The entrance to the city OF the dis

in marked contrast with his appearance
at other capitals. and with what would
have been made OF the occasic n here but
for the demise of the British ruler.
1t was Whit Monday holiday. but de-
spite this popular day the crowd at VIC
toria station was a small one. There
was no cheering, but as Mr. Roosevelt
alighted from the train and was escorted
by Ambassador Reid to the royal car
riage, which had been sent for him. those
who looked on silently lifted their hats.
Special Train Awaited.

Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss Roosevelt and ker-

proceeded tor this city, which was
reached at Z 30 O'Clock. 1t had been sup
posed that Mr.. Roosevelt would arrive on
the regular train, and this fact may have
accounted, in part, for the comparatively
small crowd at the station.
