Never in English history has a sov ereign been borne to the grave attended by so'many distinguished mourners. The gathering of crowned heads sur passed those who rode in the jubilee procession. All tiie officers of state participated. The display of the naval and military forces reached the great total of 35,000 men. The firing of minute guns and the tolling of bells at a quarter past 11 an nounced to the countless multitudes who had been crowding London’s muddy streets since daylight that the funeral procession with the body of Queen Vic toria had begun its passage through the capital. The people fought for hours for a glimpse of the coffin and the kings and others followed it. They saw a long procession of soldiers, a passing show of dazzling regalia, with a hundred royalties crowding after, and then dis persed, while all the church chimes of the city and the dirges were played. Brilliant and Impressive. The scene at the Victoria station from early morning was most brilliant and impressive. For the day’s ceremony the station was transformed into an im mense reception hall. All trains were stopped before 9 o’clock, and the long platforms were covered with purple cloth. On another platform, facing that at which the queen's train was to arrive, guards of honor, composed of bluejackets and grenadier guards, were drawn up. The broad roadway sepa rating the two was swept clean and sanded, and a number of little purple covered platforms, from whioh members of the royal party were expected to mount their horses, were placed at in- tervals at the side and center. Europe has seen grander royal fu nerals than the queen’s aud had a more gorgeous spectacle iu the celebration of her 60 years of reign, but no episode iu the Victorian era will live so deeply im pressed on the memories of those who witnessed it or participated in the cere monies. The day was sombre, wet aud chilly as are most of London’s winter days. The cloudy sky added to the gloom of the whole city. Dazzling Martial Scenes. At 10 o’clock an army of grooms with the horses arrived, and thenceforward distinguished British naval and mili tary officers and foreign royalties, in dazzling uniforms, came in quick suc cession. The lord chamberlain and his officials, bareheaded, with their white wands of office, received the most dis- *, tiuguished personages aud conducted them to a little pavilion erected on the platform. The station by that time re sembled the 9oene at a levee. The com mander-in-chief of the forces, Field Marshal Earl Roberts, on a beautiful, spirited brown mkre, carrying his field marshal’s baton, at this juncture trotted into.the£tatimvjuidhafi<i^is_Ai“‘ Saves Two From Death. “Our little daughter had an almost fatal attack of u hooping couch and bronchitis,” writes Mrs. W Iv, Hav- tland, ot Armonk, N A., “but when all other remedies failed, wo saved her life with Dr King’s New- Dis every.

The horses were ridden by postillions in scarlet jackets, with only a narrow band of crepe on their arms as a badge of the great change. The carrirges were closed. All heads were uncovered as the saloon carriage hearing the remains stopped exactly opposite the guncar- riage and King Edward, Queen Alex andra, Emperor William and others alighted. Then the bearer party advanced to the saloon carriage, and with his hand at the salute and standing a little in ad- j vance of the others, King Edward ! watched the painfully slow removal of the coffin to the guncarriage. It was finally accomplished aud the pall and the regalia of tbe British crown were placed on the coffin. The king and the others with him then mounted and the j procession started.
