Except for .hc portion Of the cathe-

Over the long route from Eaton
Square, the home of Field Marshal

public will have opportunity to pay
their last respects.
The two men arrested as assassins
of Field Marshal Wilson were arraign-
ed on charge of murder today and
formally remanded for week in order
to enable further investigation. Little
has been add: to the identity Of the
motives of the assassins. except that
they prove to he former soldiers and
one of them was employed as door,
keeper in a government office.
The express ops Of horror and indig-
nation over the assassination are not
confined to England. Today they ex-
tended virtually over the whole Of the
world. Large numbers OF messages of
coincidence reached Lady Wilson from
soVereigns, great soldiers and cabinet
ministers in various countries.

nounced the policy of the British gov
eminent and that of Ulster as the
Sc for such outrages. Sir James
Cr"ig, the Ulster premier. also issued
statement IN which he asserted that
the assassination would serve o
widen the breach and harden the hearts
of the Ulsterit1s for their policy of no
surrender. Regret was expressed in
government circles today that the
murder might be calculated to delay an
irish settlement.
Hardly anywhere, however, outside
the ranks of the Idle hards' and of
Ulster has there come any suggestion
that the government should modify
its policy toward the Irish free state
or be anywise Influenced in a reac-
tionary direction.
Despite the general desire on the
part Of the Liberals and the communi-
ty generally that the crime should not
defect the governments policy, it be-
came evident n the House of Commons
today that the die hards" section and
the Histories Will push to the utmost
the advantage the assassination gives
them, and the suggestion was made in
some quarters that the fate of Field
Marshal Wilson might play as impor-
tant part in regard to. the coalition
government as did Gladstones alleged
failure to provide proper protection
for General Gordon at Khartoum in
the fate of Gladstone's administration.
The government has given over Mon
day for Irish debate. In political quar-
tiers tonight 1t was said the govern
ment evidently was apprehensive as
the special whip had issued orders re-
quiring the attendance of all govern
ment supporters.
The fury Of the "de hards" was
vented in commons today, mainly on
Home Secretary Shortt for having
withdrawn protection from prominent
to motives of economy and partly on
account of the improved Irish outlook
since the conclusion of the peace
treaty.
Special police protection has now
been restored. Todays critics of the
government demanded that the police
should be armed. 1t never has been
the custom in England for the police
to carry firearms except on very rare
and special occasions.
That the government is taking full
precautions in connection with the as
assassination of Field Marshal Wilson
was shown today by the announce
ment of the public prosecutor at the ar
raignment Of the assassins that the
names and photographs of witnesses
would be withheld from the public.
