The Jbody was hrought from.; , Porfcpj

imovied across tie city frrtif&rla..
to Paddington station. In thl'funeral
cortage only three figures attracted the
slightest notice from the looking

It was 1:30 -when the funeral tram
started for Windsor, Where it arrived
at 2:24. Here .the scene was scarcely
less impressive. Here was Vaatona s
neighbors and troops attached to her
sonal service.
Kimmlieity cihiaracterized the last rite
Knights of the ancient Order of the
Oartter, sititing each under his own )
banner and with his arms m ms stau
and the (blaze of the gold and crimson
:Melyille, in adition to his own men,
had the pick of European detectives.
(Ever royal personage ha been unob
strusively shadtowed from the moment'
of iandling in Elnglalnd but the train
conveying the royal party from Ports
mouth to Ijondon, and stiill more so,
that 'bearing it from iPadington to
Windsor, it seemd, rnfbihigt be consid
ered to have off ered the greatest temp
tation. The line on iboth; journeys; was
practically watched yard: by yard by
railway employes and detectives, no
man being1 out of sight of the next.
Most of the spectators expected an
imposing cataf alque and the coffin was
'almost past hefore they recognized its
presence by raising: their hats. It wal
a patheticall small oblong' block con
cealed beneath a rich pall of white sat
in on the corners of which ('gl eamed the
rtoyal arms. Across the pall the royal
standard was draped and a large
crown of igold encrusted with jewels,
rested at .the head) of the coffin, which
iwas at the end of the gun calrriage,
jusfover the gun. .
Immedi'ately after the coimpany faiboiit
(the coffin, three royal imxArneTs rode
abreast. Ging Ekiward VIIV was the
central figxire of. the three, bbt Wa less
ostentatious person was seea in the
procession. A 4laok chape&i, with'
iluime of white feathers was on nis
tiead. and . Aong Wacft cJoak vas but
toned around, him: araigdowt ovjgp
ng.. The Mn f arntHa'Taee seemed
grave ana -careworn. He looked
straight ahead apparently at the -gun
carriage on which was the bodj,.kx the
sovereign whose glory and! responsibil
ities he had inherited. He did not see,
tc gave no igni of seeing the long
ranks of isoldiers hedging: back the pop
ulace from him..
The. ..windows crowded! with black
bbnaad"omen, the muititne of .un
covered heads, the purple draperies and
the general wreaths everywhere He
passed like a man alone, who neither
knew or thforaght of the world about
him and the sentiment his presence
inspired was "only sympathy and pity.
The peoipte seemed toffee in tbe ktog
one of themselves and the deep mur
murs which' arose tiere and there car
ried a note of sorrow and' lof almiost
as deep as the expressions whjjli greet
ed the passage of the coffin of their
queen. ,
Beside ' King Ekiward rode Etmperor
Williami,- li nephew and neighbor. The
unique commanding figure of the Ger
man empertoir could not be for a mo
ment ibe mistaken. He looked every
inch a soldier and the commander of
men. His imperial majesty glanced
right and left as he rode and hit bawfi
was frequently raised to the red ana
white fenihers 'hanging over his hat.
Wasian5gon, Feb. 2. In the presence
of a distinguished' iaeemftlage, inoluid-ing-
ithe president of the United States
and ids entire cabinet, impressive
tribut was Tendered to (England's dead
queen. The ceremony occurred at St.
John's Episcopal churah, beginning' at
11 o'clock this morning and was dis
tincely. official In character. The
BrltisH1 amfbasSaidior, QLord Pauncefbte,
had been directed by the London for

respect kq, he dead sovereign and the
time J?ftBlSiosen so as to correspond
exactrfevith the solemn pageant in
London.
The quaint o3J church where the ser
vices were held was taxed to its utmost
capacity with a great crowd eager to
gain admission Within the santuary
were great masses of flowers, with tall
palms, and potted plants and purple
badges of mourning, purple being' the
predominant color of mourning instead
of sombre black in accordance with the
precedent established in. London. Pres
ident iMcKinley and his cabinet arrived
shortly after 11 a. m. and were escort
ed to seats on the right of the church,
Fuller and associate pj-( .Perew KPe,
fronting the chancel. Chief Justice
Fuller and associate justices of the su
preme court, occupied pews immediate-
party, while to the righit were seated
senators and members of the hioruise,
including- the presMing, officer of the
senate, Mr. Frye, and Speaker Hender
son. The presence of the diplomatic
corps in full uniform lent a touch of
f brilliancy to the otherwise eomfbre gar
rbundings.

OF HOUSE AND BNATS AGREiED
TO..
Washington, Feb. 2. It is conceded
by repulblican leaders in the senate that
the chances for passing the ship- sub
sidy bill have materially lessoned dur
ing the past forty-eight aours. The
opposition which has developed on the
democratic side it is acknowledged will
compel the abandonment of the meas-.
ure by the republican managers and,
ani if rr?intaired until' Thursday, itwi
bill ivill be superseded by apDj;rrii
tion bills The democratic leaders de
clare they will continue t.ie debate on
the subsidy measure until March 4 if
necessary. .
The senate held an extended session
today, chiefly devoted to the discussion
of the ship subsidy 'bill. Several un-
importanit Ibllls were -passed, including
one dividing Kentucky into two judicial
districts.
. (Ai cablegram! from: ' the governor . of
OPbrto' Rico, praising the work of the
Island legislature, was read and re
ferred. Turner of Washington made .
three hours' speech against the subsidy
bill, and iMallory, of Florida followed
opposing the measure. (Mallory's speecfe
