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

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.
