loudly ciicqred when ho expressed the senti
ment that Iow8 comes to the national con
vention prepared to co-operate with all good
republicans to nominate the man who can bo
elected ns the next provident of the United
States. There is no doubt that Allison has
grown In strength since Saturday. Ills posi
tion Is a choice one. Ho seems to bo , nioro
than miy other candidate , the residuary
legatee of Bliilnc , and wouUl bo acceptable to
every republican. What Allison has to fear
Is the nomination of Sherman early in the
fight , or n sudden lurch of the convention to
Ulalnocven bcforo Sherman can show his
strength.
SIIUHMAX not.niNo m3 STIIKXOTII.
The morning opened with the Sher
man forces more confident than over.
The decision of Mr. Uepcw's managers to
present his name nnd give him n strong sup-
> ort nt the opening , Is taken by both the Alii-
ion and Sherman leaders ns a favorable
ugury for their candidates. There is no be-
lef tlmt the Depew movement is anything
inoro than n mnsk to hide the real condition
f the delegation. The Intention Is to
Minpllmcnt Mr. Depew nnd hold together
NTow York until the proper tlmo comes to
distribute the votes according to the per-
ioual preferences of the delegates. General
JuUerworth claims sixteen New Yorkers
'or Sherman. Senator Allison's friends
: nako no definite predictions at to the
trcngth of their candidate In the Now
York delegation , but confidently assert that
, ho majority will ultimately go to tnelr can
didate. The Hlatno men admit that nothing
but u protracted deadlock can bring Mr.
Elaine's name bcforo the convention , und his
strongest nnd most influential friends assure
the other candidates that there will bo no nt-
.cmpt to create a liluino stampede. Sher-
min still leads nil the candidates and some
of his friends expressing the opinion that
ils strength is too great nt the outset , and
that votes must bo lost In the balloting and
regained before the looked-for end is so-
cured.
NOT ONLY NIIW HUT PA11AMOUXT.
'A now question has been projected to-day
In politics , " said Chaunccy M. Dcpew in the
rooms of the Now York delegation when the
anti-monopoly objections to his candidacy
were being canvassed. At the same moment
the same question was being raised behind
the closed doors of the national committee.
Mr. belaud , of Kansas , in seconding the
nomination of Esteoof California for temporary
ary chairman of the convention to-morrow ,
urged the selection on the ground that ho
was no corporation attorney. The battle was
a short and hard fought one. The Nebraska
candidate won by.tho casting vole of Chair
man Jones. Twenty votes to twenty was the
record. Mr. Thurston owes the honor to the
united work of the Nebraska delegation who
have all sunk all other considerations to
secure bis selection.- Late last night the
confident announcement of Church Howe
that thirty-four votes were pledged to Thurs
ton was found to bo baseless. Shrewd ,
sharp work was at once done to counteract
Estec's strength , nnd by changing three
delegates the tie wns assured. There was
much cheering in the Nebraska headquarters
when General Vnudervoort brought in a note
AXNOCXe-IXO THAT TlIL'llBTON HAD VOX.
The Califoruianb were speechless with as-
tnnishment ut first , and later there was con
siderable talk of carrying the fight into the
convention to-morrow. The precedent of the
Powell Clayton case was brought forward
und it was urged that Esteo could certainly
win as an anti-monopoly candidate. Hut
curly in the nfternoon Estee announced that
he would not allow any contest on his be
half and the matter has been dropped.
The maddest committecmnu was Lcland of
.Kansas , who is said to have been
the best and most earnest champion of Estco
In the national committee. He said the
vote on temporary chairman was a tie. The
deciding vote was east by Chairman Jones.
The motion to make it unanimous for Thurs
ton had ono oyposition vote , many refraining
from voting. The press of Nebraska has
vigorously opposed Depcw as being a corpor
ation man yet nt the first opportunity Ne
braska presents a railroad attorney for tem
porary chairman. Wo came hero to make
votes for the party and not to drive them
from the piu-ty. Tlio unti-monopoly issue is
an issue , as Mr. De [ > cw has discovered , and
as several other statesmen or the national
committee will yet find out.
The Nebraska headquarters were lively
to-day with crowds wnich tested their capac
ity to the limit. Eight coaches arrived this
noon loaded exclusively with Ncbraskans
and as many moro came in later. There are
fully eight hundred citizens of Nebraska
hero this evening and moro to follow.
OI'.NKItAI , JOHN 0. FHEMONT ,
the first republican nominee for president is
nt the Gore , the'guest of the Nebraska dele
gation , and will bo presented to-morrow to
the convention by C. J. Grcevo. The event
will bo 0110 of historical interest.
The general held an Informal reception to
day in the Nebraska parlors and
was presented to several hundred
callers. General Ficmont is ses-enty-llvo
years -of ago , has white hair and a close
cropped beard , and wears a grey suit of
clothes. Ho said ho was halo , hearty mid
well , and his uppnnrunco backs up his state
ment. "It i.s a hurd thing to tell just what
the result of the convention will be , " ho remarked -
marked , as ho stopped to shako himds with
n number of callers. "I only arrived this
morning mid havu not been out as yet. I am
u curious looker-on and a very much inter
ested ono. I urn glad U ) have the opportunity
10 uttctid the eonvcr.tion. I was on my way
cast when I fell in with the delegation. "
MIOl'TINO roll llli ; 1'LV.VUII ICilGIIT.
At midnight crowds are surging through
the hotels shouting for liluino , At this'
writing the prevailing Impression is that it
will need onljf u spark in the convention to
explode the lilaluo magazluo If Sherman fails
to secure the nomination at nn early stage.
Tim mi-re.mention of Hlulno's name throws
everyone mto paroxysms of enthusiasm. Mr.
Hlnlno's former managers profess themselves
dumbfounded nt the demand for their former
candidate and promlso every effort to nt :
'
tempt to stay the tdo. : It looks at this writ
ing llko u quick nomination or James G.
liluinc. Many of Gresham's friends admit
his defeat. Illinois will break early from
Ore-shum. Half the dcU'gution are alruady
weak-kneed.

CHICAGO , Juno ls.--Tilo skirmishing pre
liminaries to tuo great battle which will ba
formally opa-iod in the convention { o-norro\v \
was unusually active nnd aggressive In hotel
corridors this morning , At an early hour
groups of polHK-lans congregated in the lob
ules talking over the BinuiUon , und though
there was nothing definite whk-h the friends
of uny candidate ) fould use as a basis for their
enthusiasm , predictions and counter pre
dictions were Joudly and vigorously-Indulged
n , TLo doors of the headquarters of vari
ous . tate deUgatifwe stood Invitingly cpcu
and within caier. La'Jgcbtu'ccfcgd'gcu ' -
tlemcn stood prepared to seize upon
wandering ilclcRntcs and Impress upon them
the dcsirnnllity if not the absolute necessity
of the republican convention nominating this
or that favorite son In order to obtain tlio
surest success nttho polls In November next.
As early as 7 o'clock the decks of the Iowa
headquarters were cleered for action nnel
General Henderson was upon the scene dl-
rcetinjr operations. The announcement of
Depcw's eundtducy seemed to have demoral
ized the Allison forces , nnd they predict that
this convention in its pre.icnt uncertain con-
ditipn is a peculiarly ausplcuous ono for "re
serve" candidates , of whom they say their
fuvorito is the strongest.
Senator Teller called nt an early hour nnd
Is still closeted with General Henderson.
The result of tliolr conference cannot ho
learned , but Allison men assert that Iowa
and Colorado are in hearty co-operation.
Referring to the published statement that
Iowa , through representatives In the Now
York conference , had yesterday assured DC-
pew of the votes of that stale , DclcgiUo
Rich of Iowa , said : "Nothing could bo fur
ther from tlio truth. The transportation
question Is the greatest Issue in Iowa to-day
and railroad men are not over popular
there , I assure you. No representative
of our delegation favors Depow. Wo
are gaining strength for Allison
hourly nnd 'without giving you the states
upon which wo count wo are confident of bis
nomination. "
Now York delegates were recipients of n
visit this forenoon from the Iowa delegation ,
headed by a brass band and bearing largo
photographs of Senator Allison , draped with
American flags. It was hospitably received
and the largo nudlcuco which assembled in
the parlors joined in the refrain , set to the
air of "Good Uye , My Lover , Good 13yo. "
Uoth delegations joined In the campaign
song prophetic of the defeat of Grover
Cleveland at the approaching election.
As early as 10 o'clock tnis morning ono had
to elbow ones way even on the sky parlor
floor of the Grand Pacific. The crowd in
creased as ono descended and the rotunda and
lobbies were filled with thousands of men ,
most of them morning arrivals. Numerous
delegations have arrived since Saturday , nnd
by to-night the roster of all the states und tei-
ritories will be complete. The Now York and
Ohio headquarters In the Grand Pacific ,
which Saturday were nearly desert
ed and yesterday had but few
signs of life , were early this
morning filled with representatives of tneso
states. The Greshum headquarters as usual
"lad n largo quota of active workers , mid the
Harrison nnd Husk headquarters were
crowded at an early hour. Not content with
tlio old suite of rooms the Allison men have
moved into the ladies ordinary , and have
elccoratcd the largo room until it is the hand
somest headquarters in the city. Over
the main entrance , trimmed out with
flags and bunting , is the name "Al
lison" picked out with incandescent
leetrio lights showing to splendid advantage
in the comparatively dark hall. Inside
beautiful Hags and streamers adorn the
rooms and circle about huge pictures of
Iowa's fuvorito. Hopes of sinilax , dotted
thickly with roses , crisscross from the chan
deliers.
Delegate Hood , of Iowa , said : "Allison
has strengthened materially since Sat
urday. Wo have gained thirty-
live votes certain , and , us it now
stands , wo will go Into the convention with
over a hundred votes pledged for our candi
date. Then we have almost positive ussur-
unco from delegates of thn largo states that
they will come over to us nftcr the first few
ballots. If Iowa were n doubtful state , I
think there would bn no doubt about Alli
son's success. Greshnm bus many
friends in our delegation and ho is easily
second choice so far us I cun see. Wo have
not yet considered our second choice , how
ever , ns wo think Allison stands as good a
chance if not better than anyuono of the can
didates , lovya in any evcnt is for the nom
inee. Wo will carry the state if the convcn-
tiontion should nominate u man from the
Florida swamps. "
NATIONAL COMMITTEE.
It Selects Tlinrstoii for Temporary
Chairman.
CIIICAOO , Juno IS. When the national
committee met to-day to select a man for the
chairman of the convention , which meets to
morrow , the call of states for presentation of
candidates was begun. California , almost at
the bead of the list , bad the advan
tage of being the first to name
its favorite. Esteo , of California , was
the gentleman urged by Davis of
tlmt state. Estco was yrcssnted in a strong
speech as the candidate of the united fur
west. Ho was put forward as an anti-monopoly
man of tlio llrst water , and attention was
culled to the quick actipn of the democrats
n choosing a temporary clwirmnn from the
coast. John M. Thurston of Nebraska was
presented in u brief , pointed speccli by Chair
man Howe of that state. Stress was laid
upon his ability as a parliamentarian ,
and upon his brilliant speech seconding Gen
eral Logan in the national convention four
years ago. Lclund , of Kansas , vigorously
seconded the nomination of Esteo for his
anti-monopoly record. Oregon also seconded
him. The vote was then proceeded with ,
resulting in u Ue. Chairman Jones then
e-ast the deciding vote in favor
of Thurs-ton. The nomination was
mndouuunimous , on motion of Hiirnij , of Col
orado , who hud acted with the Pacific coast
men. J. Hale Sypher , proxy from the Distritt
of Columbia , moved that in the contest from
the third congressional district of Maryland ,
both parties bo excluded. Gray , of Mury-
luml , amended by asking that both
sides bo admitted as contestants , jind the
matter referred to the committee on cre
dentials. Conger , of Ohio , moved to lay the
whole-mutter on the tables. Conger's Idea
was adopted and tlio result will bo to admit
the regular delegates recommended by
Gray , member of the national
committee from that state. The Virginia
contest , involving the seating of sixteen Ma-
hone district delegates , was reope.nod by
Ulalruof Virginia , moving a reconsideration.
Elliius and Luwsoii of Now York , joined in
opposing strenuously any consideration
whatever. Hci'onsldorution was defeated
Cti to 11. After some desultory discussion re
garding n few minor muttcru , the committee
ut 1 : 'M adjourned.

hud been selected for rccommcndutii.n to the
convention us the commttoc's choice for tern
j'orary chairman , was being congratulated
from ull sides nftcr the adjournment of the
national committee , Tito Culiforniuns were
flmuly dumbfounded. Their opponents ,
however , were no less surprised , the close
ness of the vote being almost wholly unex
pected. It was pretty generally conceded
that the amount of strength gathered by the
Californlaus and the number of votes they
mustered was , under the circumstances , a
tribute to this Pacitlu slope nothing short of
that accorded by the democrats at St. Louis ,
Nevertheless the const men were sere and
their eastern supporters not less so , Every
body elbe thought the Estco men
hud mndo a magnificent fight considering
how they hud been handicapped by their late
arrival , this convention being in the matter
of preliminaries relatively a full week ahead
of the democratic convention , whcro the
Culifornians achieve * ] their triumph largely
by being the llrst men on the ground. Hero
the Thurston men from Nebraska had been
the curly birds und the opposition to Thurs
ton had attempted to center on Patrick Egan ,
who could , almost undoubtedly ; have hud
the honor , but felt obliged In loyalty tx > his
iCjJ ° W delegates from Nebraska , to give way
to Thut'i-on , the n 3t , fuvorito of the Ne
braska delegacy. SOUKS talk of carrying
the light into Ibo e jiV iJ'lQy was heard after
the meeting of ilib nuuoifal cominitvJJ " S

himself , however , until the matter hud been
thoroughly discussed in private by these wlio

earnest chamnkm of Estco in UHS national
committeeHoBuid : "Tho vote for temporary
ary chairman was a' tio. The deciding votes
was cast by Chairman Jones. The motion .to
mnko it unanimous for Thurston had ono op

opposed Dcpow ns being u corporation man ,
yet at the llrst opportunity Nebrnsua pre
sents a railroad attorney for temporary
chairman. Wo came hero to mnko votes for
the party und not to drive them from the
party. "
The consensus of opinion from the people
In the corridors was Hint Estco would Imvo
won nn his presentation as nn anti-monopoly
candidate , but the friends of too many favor
ite candidates for the presidency united
largely against such pronounced recognition
of nn out arid out Ulalno delegate ns tlio man
from thp slope. As It was , the verdict seemed
like n reaction against the Calltornlan's too
previous shouting for Ulalno.

ATI KfTort to Prevent Ills Taking the
Clinlr.
CHICAGO , Juno IS. Late to-night it was
rumored that an effort would bo mndo on the
lloorof the convention to-morrow to prevent
Thurstou from getting the coveted
temporary chairmanship. The nntl-
monopoly delegates say they will cer
tainly make u light in the convention
provided they can get nn available man to
stand against the Nebraska railroad nt-
tornoy. No ono has n word of objection to
Thurston personally , but they see n chnnco
to make capital in opposing him on account
of his business connections.

CHIOAOO , Juno 18. M. M. Estce , of Cali
fornia , will undoubtedly be permanent chair
man of the convention. He will have the
distinction of supplanting no less n man than
Warner Miller , prospective republican nomi
nee for governor of New York. The republi
can leaders were determined not to
bo behind the democrats in St. Louis
n affording tokens of appreciation of this
.Dower and good will of the Pacific slope.
Stephen H. Elkiiis said to-night : "On my
arrival here I saw mi inevitable crash com-
tig between the friends of Estco nnd Thurs-
ton. I tried to bring about a compromise but
could not. To-day in the meeting of the
committee the crash came und it was evident
that hurd feeling was the result. "
A DAY O"
ami Combination ) * An
nounced IJctwecii CnmliclntcR
CHICAGO , June IS. It bus been a day of
rumors concerning combinations. Tlio
Depow people hold out offers of the vice-
presidency to Harrison , Allison and Gresham.
These candidates woulcllike to enter a bnr-
Knin by which Depow should take the
second place on the ticket. Sena
tor Faiwell hasbeen t trying to
form n combination with William W.
Phclps and ex Senator Platt for the nomina
tion of Morton for vice president when Depew
is withdrawn. Nothing was accomplished in
tills direction. The friends of Harrison
"were in high spirits this morning. An un-
dcrstahding had been reached with New
Jersey by which Harrison wns to bo first
for president and Phclps for vice presi
dent. The presentation of Dcpew lias taken
away the New York contingent which
was reckoned on and - a combination was
abandoned. The Sherman mid Allison men
have also taken a hand in these treaties with
state leaders , but the prevailing feeling is
0110 of caution and thero' are no assurances
that any combination has been formed.
New York's decision , to present a favorite
son has brought a lull upon the field and it is
now the belief that nothing of real im
portance will develop till after a
ballot has been taken and a show of strength
brought out. Depow's candidacy takes
from Sherman temporarily at least , ten or
twelve votes in New York which follow the
leadership of Warner Miller , and the growth
of the Hlulne feeling bus taken from him the
largo vote promised in Massachu
setts by Senator Hoar. Gresbam
lias undoubtedly gained to-duy.
Oregon , Colorado , Minnesota , part of Mis
souri , Illinois und West Virginia resolved to
stand faithfully by him. With Husk anil
Ingalls out , he will get most of the votes
from Kansas and Wisconsin. Harrison is
looming up as a formidable candidate , and is
now next in strength to Sherman. Connecti
cut 1ms decided to put Hawlcy's name in
nomination. v

Illnlnc.
CnioAfio , Juno 18. The California delegates -
gates and coasters generally have enjoyed
thouisclves to-elay in parading the streets
with the Kansas City republican club and the
T.opeku flambeau club , which were mot this
morning at the union depot by the California
delegation and portions of the other Pacific
coast delegations. They escorted the Hlaino
men ull over town. The coasters were , mar
slmllcd by E. P. DanclllT , of the
California delegation , who made nn adinir
able field marshal for the occasion. While
the main body of delegates were engagcc
in this missionary work for the Maine states
man u few leading spirits were busy with
more practical work. The committee ap
pointed by the Pacific coast meeting of yes
terday , which held u stormy session , it
which Gugo took Issue vigorously with Sen
ator Jones of Nevada on the interpretation
of the Hluino letter , nnd claimed that the
nomination of Hlaino might be tnudo in such
n inunncr as to enable him to uecep
without discrediting his motives or
his words , was again In session
this morning. At this meeting , althougl
Senator Jones opposed any agrcemcntuf Ursi
elioic" for Hliiine , st was practically agrew
that Hluino was the favorite candidate of the
Pacific coast und tacitly it was uiulcrs-tooi
that such a recommendation should bo made
tlio proposed meeting of the Pacific roasl
delegations ut 1 o'clock. The matter of second
end choice was also considered by the coin

POTSDAM , Juno 18. [ New York Hcruld
Cable Special to THIS Bun. ) Frederick , llio
speechless emperor , who wns never crowned ,
was burled to-day in Friedensklrcho. The
emperor drove up lo Iho palace so qulelly
nnd so swiftly ho nearly eluded nil Iho eyes
watching for him. Ho wore n cloak over a
general's ' unWorm and tossed it off by a
quick , impatient motion of Iho shoulders. It
fell almost to the ground. Ho was palo and
his face revealed new lines , indicating
anxious thought und great firmness , mingled
with good nature. Ho nlonco entered Jnspar
hall and slood neur the foot of the eofllii. Thou
came Empress Augusta , who wns brought
in her rolling chair. Tlio little six-year-old
crown prince und his brother wcro led be
fore their crniidfuther's eoflln. They gazed
wislfully nt it nnd then left the room , all
present reverently bowing to the Infant heir-
npparcnt who was clad In n black woolen
suit , black cap and black gloves. Then nil
the invited princes nnd personages enlcrcd
Iho hull. Among whom I noticed Mackenzie
in a court , dress , surrounded by a group of
friends , and as fur oft as
possible Bergmann with his group
of ladmrers 1 also noticed cx-Minister
Puttkamer with his long white beard , whose
dismissal was the last political act of .the
dead emperor. Puttkamer nnd Bergmann
shook hands cordially und took places near
the coffin.
IT WAS A vr.itv iMi'ur.ssuvn MOMINT :
when Moltko arrived ntid stood within tlirco
feet of the corpio. Ho was most visibly af
fected. I noticed him gaze intently at the
eoflln while the choir chanted Bach's choral
Bald Uafo du Mich zu Loebern Frcnct. "
Tlio field marshal's baton which ho
hold in his right baud rattled
against the buttons of his uniform. ' Ho then
sluiok Ins head as if ashamed of his motion ,
but a moment afterwards tears stole down
the corners of his eyes , which ho wiped away
with the tip'of his gloved lingers. General
Von die Golo/ then whispered , "I never before -
fore saw Moltko so orokon up. "
The scene in the palace court yard was
truly beautiful. The weather was bright
nnd the air cool. When the imperial eoflln
appeared the officers made a signal with their
swords and the inuflled drums of twelve in
fantry battalions

each in turn. Then a trumpet sounded Iho
funeral dirge. The emperor was standing
well erect behind the coftin on a wide wooden
incline carpeted with black sorgo. On the
emperor's right hand was the king of
Saxony ; on his left side the Prince of Wales
nnd Prince Henry. As the dirge ceased Iho
king of Saxony moved back a few paces and
motioned to the emperor to take a ulace
more to the front. The emperor declined
with a modest smile and stood side
by side almost arm in arm with the King of
Saxony. Every ono noticed this und it made
a most excellent impression. Immediately
behind the bier tiled Marshal Yon Blumen-
thal leading Ihe late emperor's charger with
n plain military saddle. This chestnut gold-
inp is the ono Unscr Fritz rode nt the battle
of Wtt'i-th , u line , wull bred animal but stiff
in the knees with old ago.
as the emperor ascended the stops leading to
the church door ho removed his white plumed
helmet and seemed very much affected. His
bearing was modest and ho seemed the dull
ful , affectionate son , rather than the mon-
arch. Ho walked slowly up.tho aisle , halted
in a military position , always side by side
with the king of Saxony. There wcso not
over three hundred persons inside tlio church
as Hof Prcdiger Kocgel pronounced in a
loud , clear voice the words , "Was gott Unit
das 1st wohlgethon. " A bright ray of
sunshine streamed through a small round
window near the roof of the church and fell
directly upon the emperor's head ; the effect
was exactly like thai of an cleclnc light on
the stage , llbrought the features of the
emperor Into most striking prominence. As
the beautiful choral service ended u platoon
of foot guards in Iho church yard discharged
Iheir rifles. Then after n pause a second
platoon llrcd a second salvo but nt n greater
distance. Then a third salvo further off
still. The effect of this dlminuend saluting
was most effective. When the salutobattery
of the Hold artillery commenced firing it sa

Everyone now prepared to leave the
church , but the emperor remained motionless
with eyes fixed on his father's bier. Mo sud
denly stepped forward and placed himself
bcsiclo the coflln und dropped upon his luiccs
and kissed tlio covering of it und
remained in silent prayer for
several minutes. As ho raised his head I
noticed the eyes hud an unusual soft and
melancholy expression. Ho walked buck to
his original position. The muscles of his
cheek moved nervously , and nt last , unable
to overcome his emotion , ho fairly wept and
placed a handkurt-hlof to his eyes. 1 tiovor
will forget the moment. H caused the deep
est sympathy. Everyone present was most
visibly affected. The Empress Victoria then
appeared from n siclo door and was conducted
by thu hof marshal to the coffin. She knelt

Tlio "king of Saxony , Prince of Wales ,

wcro conducted to their carriages. Tlio
Princ-css of Wales loohed'oxquisitely beauti
ful ns she wullied slowly and gracefully
down the aisle. The Marquis of Lome , in a
Highland Argylc.hlre militia uniform , at
tracted considerable attention , bul ho did not
venture lo wear the kilts but merely the
trews.
TuUcn all together the funeral of
Kaiser Frederick was. mosl Im-
impressive. I imagined ovcryono sccmctl
ns if ho was going lo the funeral ol ones own
father or brother. The muslo was ex
quisite , and all the arrangements In jicrfcai
laste und simplicity , and the religious ser
vices , though brief , went straight to the
heart.

incut and anxiety having somewhat pros
trated him. Ho was represented by Count
Herbert Von Bismarck.
It was accepted as n good omen that In

which the emperor stood was n mnr-
jlo nngcl of peace bearing1 In her
lap n book and trumpet , being the

queen and the late emperor's ' two young sons

Knizcrlno Augusta , mothcrof the deceased ,
could not bo present at the service in the
church , but witnessed the procession from a
window In the Sohloss.
The private nuturo of the funeral wns
maintained throughout , admission even to
the park being accorded to very few persons.
J'ho late widowed empress is greatly pulled
down and her nerves unstrung bv all that she
has gone through , so she was not equal to
the exertion connected with the public cere
mony , and whilst tlio service was being per
formed she , with Princesses Victoria , Sophia
and Margaret was at the partsn church of.

eloquent sciitcnco In Chaplain Kocgol's
nrnyor Is much repeated , "Give comfort to
our emperor and empress whom thou hast
made to puss 'to the throne over two death
beds. " Perhaps the grandest sight
was when most of the mourners
hud emerged into the bright sun
light and t.iken their stand in
irregular and picturesque groups on the steps
of tlio terrace running along nil the eastern
front of the palace and directly opposite it.
Further on the soini-cireular edge of the
spacious flower-potted lawn stood n magnifi
cent array of troops of all arms , gigantic
foot guards in conical brass head
pear of Frederick the Great's times.
Then tall green rillemen ; then n model
battullion of the German army ; then n sqad-
ron of life guards , wearing black cuirasses-
presented to them in the days of the libera
tion war by the C/nr Nicholas ; then as many
dragoon guards , successors to the men who
rode the famous Balaclava charge nt Marsla-
tour , and batteries of artillery , all stand
