WANT 10 GET HOI CONGRESSMEN APPREHENSIVE OF LATE ADJOURNMENT. MUCH WORK YET TO BE DONE Postal Savings Bank. Statehood. Rail road and Other Measures Are Still Under Consideration. Washington.—Shivers have been chasing themselves up and down the spinal columns of members who must face serious contests in their states or districts if they come back to the next congress, ever since John Dwight, republican whip of the house, issued his prediction that the session would not adjourn before July 15. The contest in the house over the appropriation contained in the sundry civil bill to extend the scope of the tariff board has waged much more stubbornly than had been anticipated. The democrats have op posed the item on the ground that the results of the investigations by the board should be reported direct to congress instead of to the president. The sundry civil bill has been used as a vehicle to convey more cam paign speeches under government frank throughout the country than any other measure that has been be fore congress at the present session. It has been used about equally by both parties The postal savings bank bill, which has be-»n reported from the committee of postoffices and post roads, is ready for the republican caucus, which will be held Wednesday night. Practically ail the republicans of the house signed the call. It is not likely, therefore, that the division over the bill will be along regular and insurgent lines. It is more likely to be between eastern and western members. The caucus will take the form of a committee of the whole majority mem bership of the house and it is probable that many changes from the form in which it was reported will be made in the bill. Some members believe that in order that there shall be a free discussion of the measure the caucus may have to be extended over several nights, but Chairman Weeks of the postofEce committee believes that one night will be sufficient. Many western members believe the Ttj per cent of deposits which the bill as reported would require to be kept in the local banks is too small, and that the provision of the bill which passed the senate would be more effec tive to keep deposits in the commu nities where collected. The westerners charge that the bill as drafted is a “bankers' bill'' and that under its operations their com munities might be depleted of money and that it would be taken to New York and other money centers. When the caucus has agreed upon a bill which it has reason to believe it can put through the house the ma jority party probably will endeavor to bring in a rule with a view to passing the bill without amendment. Spanish Veterans Want Roosevelt. New York.—Colonei* Theodora Roosevelt, leader of' the Rough Riders during the Spanish war, is slated as commander-in-chief of the national encampment of the Spanish War Veterans, to be held in Denver. September (5. 7 and S. The delegation from the New York commandery has been instructed to vote for him. and several months ago the commander asked Colonel T. W. H. Draper of California, who is now abroad, to meet Mr. Roosevelt and ask him if he would accept the position. righting In Nicaragua. Washington.—Two days- fighting near Rama. Nicaragua has cost the Estrada forces fourteen in killed and twenty-nine wounded, according to a report to the state department front Consul Moffatt at Bluefields. The casualties of the Madrix forces he adds, were not learned. General Mena retired after the fight to his entrenchments. Large quantities of ammunition and provisions, said to be the entire stores of the Madria forces at Bluefields. were reported to have been captured. Brother Charles to Sail. Washington.—Charles P. Taft, brother of President Taft and at pre sent a guest at the White House, will not take part personally fn this year s campaign in Ohio. He will sail for Europe. Steal $10,000 Diamonds. Newark. N. J.—While Bamuel Vogel and his wife of Newark slept soundly, burglars entered their home early in the morning and stole a handbag containing jewelry worth $10.000 from under the pillow. A $500,000 Fire. Elkhart. Ind.—The plant of the C. G. Conn company, said to have been the largest manufactury of brass band in struments m the world, was destroyed by fire, the loss being $500,000. Insurgent Forces Win Out. Bluefields. Nicaragua.—"Have ene my completely surrounded and cut off from ammunition and provisions Ex pect surrender any time." This was the message that came to General Juan Estrada, leader of the taaurgeaft href i. from General Luis Mora. VICTORIAS FUNERAL PROCESSION. r Ftwm fk* raJrmod Jt rainwt *. T. KINGS AND PRINCES OF ALL NATIONS FOLLOWED THE BIER OF QUEEN VICTORIA. A SIMILAR SCENE WAS WITNESSED AT THE FUNERAL OF KING EDWARD. i FUNERAL RITES OF KING EDWARD VII. London. Eng—Tha funeral of King Edward is declared to hare been the most imposing ceremonial Great Britain's capital ever witnessed. Thirty thousand soldiers v* »~e brought from Aldershot and other military camps to line the streets when the procession passed. As there was no room to barrack them over night, the soldiers bivouaced in the parks and streets. The city had the appearance of an invested town for two days. Some of the soldiers slept In tents in the parks, while the remainder lay down beside their guns in the streets. At a conservative estimate 700.000 persons passed through Westminster hall to look upon the coffin of the king , lying in state. Barriers were built, by means of which the people were ushered through in four lines at the rate of 18,000 an hour. The body of the late king was not exposed to view. The mourners saw only the coffin. ! with the official regalia and heaps of Cowers. Queen Mother Chose Hymns. The hymns sung at the service at Windsor were all of the queen moth- i er's choice. They were "My God. My Father, While I Stray," "Now the La borer's Task Is O’er." and "I Heard a Voice From Heaven." Scotland yard had all its detectives on duty, and these were reinforced by a hundred more from continental cities. All visitors were watched, but j there was little real fear of anarchistic j attempts, because it was known that every one under surveilance would be deported from England if any trouble i were caused on this occasion, and it , was not likely that the persons of the anarchist type would give up volun tarily their safest refuge in Europe. The procession to Westminster hall . May IT for the lying in state was al most on as great a scale as the fu- j neral procession. The cortege included King George and all the foreign sov- [ ereigns on horseback, and the queen i mother and the royal ladies in car riages. When the funeral procession started every street car in London ,came to a standstill for a quarter of an hour. All the public houses in London were closed while the procession was pass ing. No Distinction Shown. There was no distinction as to per* ' son nor were there any ticket pri\t ic«es for the lying in state in West minster hall. All had to take their turn in line. At St. George's chapel, at Windsor, from whence the body was carried to its final resting place the carved sttlls were removed in order to give place to timber seating Otherwise not a tenth of those entitled to attend would have been able to enter. The chapel was draped with violet hang ings. The service held in Westminster abbey did not form any part of the royal funeral It was a memorial service held especially for those mem bers of the house of lords and house of commons, who were unable to go to Windsor. Electric standards were fixed around the place In Westminster hall where the catafalque stood. The public was admitted until tea o'clock at night. The catafalque occupied the spot on which Gladstone's catafalque stood. > The Court at Windsor. The cotta was sealed aad draped j and surmounted by soma of the royal | regalia and King Edward’s Seid mar shal's sword. The court removed to Windsor the day before the funeral. The arch- * bishop of Canterbury, assisted by ; Canon Wilberforce. conducted a short service at Westminster hall on the ar- ! rival of the body on May 17. The j members of both houses of parliament attended this service. Kept Away by Kaiser. Neither M. Loubet, M. Delcasse nor M. Clemenceau formed part of the French mission to attend the funeral of King Edward. Premier Briand in tended to go. but also gave up the Idea, owing to the fact that Emperor V\ llliam was there. Under these cir cumstances the mission was purely formal. It consisted of M. Pichon. minister of foreign affairs; General Delstein. military governor of Paris; Admiral Marquis and an attache rep resenting President Fallieres. Roosevelt Among the Monarch*. Ex-President Roosevelt, who was named as special envoy of the United j States to attend the funeral of King j Edward, was presented to King George soon after his arrival in London. >lr. j Roosevelt occupied a place with the \ visiting monarchs in the funeral pro cession and attended the burial at Windsor. The flowers alone contributed by organizations and individuals repre sented many thousands of dollars in value. The most elaborate wreath was sent from Windsor, consisting of costly white flowers, interwoven with purple, which is the royal mourning color. The wreaths contributed by pri vate individuals, numbering thousands, were hung on posts in the streets. Jackies Drew Carriage. King George being so closely identified with the navy, the naval con tingents took a prominent part in the ceremonies. Bluejackets drew the gun carriage to Windsor, as they did the carriage which bore the body of Victoria, although on that occasion they did so because the horses be came restive. Soldiers from the king’s company, grenadier guards, kept sentry watch over the body in the throneroom at Buckingham palace. They were re lieved each hour. With simple cere ST. GEORGE’S CHAPEL, WIND SOR. PROM WHENCE. AFTER THE FINAL CEREMONIES THE ROOT O F THE LATE KINO WAS CON VEYED TO THE MAUSOLEUM. taccr some one of the visiting royal ties entered the room every now and then, and the widowed Queen went there frequently. Body in Magnificent Torrb. The body of King Edward lies with that of his immediate ancestors in the magnificent mausoleum at FTogtuore. in the Home park of Windsor castle. Jn this structure, erected by Queen Victoria at & cost of $1,000,000, Prince Albert Edward, father of the late king, was laid to rest in l$6l. Ia the same year Queen Victoria's mother, the duchess of Kent, was buried in an elaborate tomb in the grounds near by. In 1901 Queen Victoria herself was buried in Use mausoleum beside her husband. The structure ts probably one of the most elaborate of the kind in exist ence. It was planned In minute detail by Queen Victoria as a memorial to the prince consort. The general pub lic is not admitted to the chamber where lie the royal bodies in two im mense sarcophagi, but the spot is a great magnet for tourists, dozens of whom inspect the marble mausoleum daily. wucen iwotner * uner ueep. The successive delays in the reroov al of King Edward's body from the bedroom where he died to the throne room at Buckingham palace were due to Queen Alexandra's reluctance to al low the body to be removed from the proximity of her own apartments. Ail arrangements had been made for the reception of the body in the throne room and notices were Issued to members of the household that they would be permitted to view the body lying In state there, but day by day the removal was postponed and the invitations deferred. The queen's private apartments -ommunicate directly with those of he late king, and it is not known how jften she visited the room in which xer dead husband lay or the duration of the vigils she made there, but it is said her sister, the dowager em press of Russia, feared her grief might prove too great a strain. During the later years of the king's life he and the queen were oc the most excellent ternfs of friendship and good feeling. Indeed, it is no ex aggeration to say they were deeply at tached to one another. The king was most kind and considerate in his at titude toward his consort, who valued highly the attentions be always showed her. King’s Consideration for Consort. For years they had been, to quote an informant of credit, 'The be*’ of pals." and while the inclusion in the list published in the papers of a house party at Sandringham of a certain woman's name caused some astonish ment in g. neral society, there was considerable the more astonishment among those tn the inner circles of court life at the efforts made by a foreign ambassador to suppress any mention of the woman's name in the list of guests who were invited tc meet the king at his country house. vueen Alexandra nerseir. by a etter which the London Times described as artless, has shown how deeply she is affected by the death of her con Sort Authoritative details of what passed on the day of Queen Alexandra s re turn to England show in what regard King Edward held his queen. On that Thursday before his death Edward was continually speaking of her majesty to his entourage. In the morning he announced his Intention to go to the station to meet her on her arrival, and when he was forced to bow to the advice of his physicians in this matter he said he would at least meet her at the head of the stairs in Buckingham palace. From the day she landed in Eng land as Princess Alexandra, he said, he had never failed to meet her when she came from abroad. He followed all stages of her journey, and as the day wore on and his condition became worse he gave instructions that she was to be guarded against the shock of seeing suddenly how changed by ill ness he was. There are two doors to the room In which his majesty died —one facing the Invalid chair tn which he was reclining, the other at the side. He directed that the queen be brought in at the side door, so she should see him tn the most favorable aspect. When the queen arrived Kin# Ed ward, by an effort which taxed his powers to the utmost, stood up to re ceive her. As she clasped him in her arms he fell back into the chair in a state of collapse. For a time It was feared the end was at hand. DEDICATE THE DEPOT RAILROAD OFFICIALS TAKE PART IN THE EXERCISES.
