Tho funeral of King Kdward is declared to huvo becn'tho most Imposing ceremonial Great llrltnln's capital ever witnessed. Thirty thoufaand soldiers were brought from Aldershot nnd other military camp3 to lino tho ttrcets when tho procession passed Ab there was no room to barrack them over night, the boldlcrs blvouaccd In tho parks and streets Tho city had the nppearanco of an Invested town for two days. Some of tho soldiers alept In tents In tho parks, while- tho remainder lay down beside their guns In tho strcctB. At a conservative cstlmato 700,000 perbons passed through Westminster hall to look upon the colIln of tho king lying In state. Barriers wero built, by means of which tho people wero ushered through In four lines at tho rate of 18,000 an hour. Tho body of the lalo king was not exposed to view. Tho mourners saw only tho coffin, with tho official regalia and heaps of llowors. Queen Mother Chose Hymns. Tho hymns sung at tho scrvlco at Windsor wero ull of tho queen moth er's choice They were "My God, My Father, Whllo I Stray," "Now tho La borer's Task Is O'er." and "I Heard u Volco From Heaven." Scotland yard had all Its detoctlvos on duty, nnd these wero reinforced by a hundred inoro from continental oltlos. All visitors wero watched, but thoro was Httlo real fear of anarchistic attempts, because it was known that every ono undor Eurvcllance would bo doported from England If any troublo wero caused on this occasion, rind It was not likely that tho persons of tho nnarchlBt typo would glvo up volun tarily their safest refuge In Europe Tho procession to Westminster hall May 17 for tho lying In state was al most on as great n scale as tho fu nernl procession. Tho cortego Included King Georgo and all tho foreign sov ereigns on horseback, and tho queen mother and tho royal ladles lu car riages. When tho funernl procession startod every street car In Loudon camo to n standstill for a quarter of an hour. All tho public houses In London wero closed whllo tho procession was pass ing. No Distinction Shown. Thoro wbb no distinction as to per son nor wero there any ticket privi leges for tho lying In state In West minster hall. All had to tako their turn in lino. At St. Gcorgo's chapel, at Windsor, from whenco tho body waB carried to Its llnal resting placo tho carved stalls wero removed In order to glvo placo to timber seating, Otherwiso not a tenth of those entitled to attend would havo been ablo to enter. The chapel was draped with violet hang ings. Tho sorvlco held In Westminster aoboy did not form nny part of tho loyal funeral. It was a memorial benlco held especially for those mom born of tho house of lords nnd house of commons, who wero unnblo to go lo Windsor. i:iectrlc standards were fixed around tho place In Westminster hall whero tho catafalque Btood Tho public was admitted until ten o'clock at night. Tho catafnlquo occupied tho spot on which Gladstone's catafalque stood. The Court at Windsor. Tho coffin waa sealed and draped ind surmounted by boiuo of tho royal i ) 1. ,41 3 tijrfa Wa regalia and King Edward's flold mar shal's sword. Tno court removed to Windsor tho day before tho funeral. Tho arch bishop of Canterbury, nsslsted by Canon Wllborforcc, conducted a bhort servico at Westminster hall on tho ar rival of the body on May 17. Tho members of both houses of parliament ntletided this service. Kept Away by Kaiser. Neither M. Loubet, M. Delcasso nor M. Clemcncenu formed part of tho French mission to attend the funeral of King Edward. Piemlcr IJriand In tended to go, but nlso gavo up the Idea, owing to tho fact that Emperor William was there Under these cir cumstances tho mission was purely formal. It consisted of M. Pichon, minister of foreign affairs; General Dalstcln, military governor of Paris; Adtnirnl Marquis and an nttacho rep resenting President Falllcres. Roosevelt Among the Monarchs. Ex-President Hooscvclt, who was named ns special envoy of tho United States to attend tho funeral of King Edward, wns presented to King Georgo soon after his nrrlval In London. Mr. Roosevelt occupied a placo with tho visiting monnrchs In tho funeral pro cession and attended tho burial at Windsor. The flowers nlono contributed by organizations and Individuals repre sented many thousands of dollars in valuo. The most claborato wreath was sent from Windsor, consisting of costly whlto flowers, Interwoven with purple, which i3 tho royal mourning color. Tho wreaths contributed by pri vate Individuals, numbering thousands, weto hung on posts in tho streets. Jackles Drew Carriage. King Georgo being so closely identified with tho navy, tho naval con tlngentB took a prominent part In tho ceremonies. Hluojackets drew tho gun carrlagu to Windsor, as they did tho carrlago which boro tho body of Victoria, although on that occasion they did so becauso the horses be catno restive. Soldiers from tho king's company, grenadier guards, kopt sontry watch over the body in tho throncroom at Buckingham palace. They wero re lieved each hour.

Tho body of King Edward lies with that of his lmmedlato ancestors lu tho magnificent mnusoteum at Frogmoro, In tho Home park of Windsor castlo. In this structure, erected by Queen Victoria at a cost of $1,000,000, Prince Albert Edward, father of ttm lato king, wns laid to test In 1SG1. In tho snmo j ear Queen Victoria's mother, the duchess of Kent, wns burled In an elaborate tomb In the grounds near by. In 1U01 Queen Victoria herself waa burled lu the mausoleum bcsldo her husband.

Queen Mother's Grief Deep. The successive delays In the remov al of King Edw aid's body from tho bedroom whcio ho died to tho throno room at Buckingham palace wero duo to Queen Alexandra's reluctanco to al low tho body to bo removed from tho proximity of her own apartments. All arrangements had been mndo for tho reception of tho body in tho throno room and notices wero issued to memboro of tho housohold thnt they would he permitted to view tho body lying In state thoro, but day by day the removal was postponed nnd tho Invitations deferred. Tho queen's pilvato apartments 'onnnunlcatp directly with thoso of ho late king, and It Is not known how 'jften she visited tho room In which her dead husband lay or tho duration of tho vigils sho mndo there, but It Is hald her sister, tho dowager em press of Russia, fcaied her grief might prove too great n strain. During the later years of tho king's life ho nnd the queen wero on tho most excellent terms of friendship nnd good feeling. Indeed, It 1b no ex aggeration to say they wero deeply at tached to one another. Tho king waB most kind nnd considerate In his at tltudo toward his consort, who valued highly tho attentions ho nlwaya showed her. King's Consideration for Consort. For years they had been, to quote an informant of credit, "tho best of pals," nnd whllo the inclusion in tho ilt published in tho papers of a house party at Saudrlngham of a certain woman's name caused some astonish ment in general society, there was considerable tho more astonishment among thoso In the Inner circles of couit llfo at the efforts made by a foiclgn ambassador to suppress any mention of tho woman's natno in tho list of guests who wero Invited to meet the king at his country house. Queen Alexandra herself, by a loiter which tho London Times described as artless, has shown how deeply she Is affected by the death of her consort. Authorltntivo details of what passed on the day of Queen Alexandra's rei turn to England show In what regard King Edward held his queen. On that Thursday beforo his death Edwatd was continually speaking of her majesty to his entourage In tho morning ho announced his intention to go to tho station to meet her on her nrrlval, and when llo was forced to bow to tho advlco of his physicians in this matter he said ho would at least meet her at tho head of tho stairs in Buckingham palace. From tho day Rho landed in Eng land ns Princess Alexandra, ho said, ho had never failed to moot her when sho qaijiq 'from abroad, 1 lo followed all stages of her Journey, and as' tho day woro on and his condition becamo worse ho gavo instructions that sho waa to bo guarded against tho shock of seeing suddenly how changed by Ill ness ho was. Thero aro two doors to tho room In which his majesty died ono facing tho Invalid chair in which he waa reclining, tho other at tho side. Ho directed that tho queen bo brought in at tho oldo door, so sho should seo him In tho most favorable aspect. When tho queen arrived King Ed ward, by an effort which taxed his powerB to tho utmost, stood up to re ceive her. As sho clasped him In hor arms ho fell back into tho chair in n state or collapse For a time it wns feared tho end was at hand.

During theso fights thero wero many lncldontn, both humorous and pathetic, that will novcr lenvo tho memory of thoso who wero engaged In them. A soldier, Isaac H. Miller, driving a two horse team hauling tho butcher's out fit or tho Gen. Jeff C. Davis division, wns on his wagon, waiting for a chanco to cross the bridge; and whllo a hand-to-hand fight was going on a confederate cavalryman pointed n ro volvcr nt Miller, snapping It sovornl times, but It failed to go off. Whllo ho was roplaclng It in his right boot leg and drawing another from tho left bootleg Miller sprang from his sent and seizing a musket lying on tho ground used It for n club, striking the mnn on the side of tho head and bringing him to tho ground. Miller took tho revolver from tho cavalry man's hand nnd, remounting his wagon, coolly nnd deliberately drove away as If nothing unusual had hap pened.
