INSTRUCTIONS BY MAIL
BRUNSWICK IN LUCK.
Secretary Long Recommends the
Establishment ol Naval Train
ing Station at That Point.
A Washington special says: Bruns
wick, Ga., is to get a naval training
station if the recommendations which
Secretary Long has made to the naval
committees of congress are accepted
and carried out. For some days Rep
resentative Brantly has been working
on a project which means a great deal
for Brunswick, and late Saturday af
ternoon Secretary Long took action
which seems to insure the snccess of
his plans. These are for the develop
ment of Blythe island, which lies off
from Brunswick and whioh has, since
1857, been the property of the govern
ment, purchased for the nse of the
navy department.
' This island contains 1,100 acres of
land, is well wooded and is a valuable
pieoe ol property, bnt it seems that
the fact that it is government property
had been pratioatly lost sight of by
the authorities in Washington until a
few days ago, when Mr. Brantley call
ed on the secretary of the navy and
Admiral Crowninsbield.
Mr. Brantley has for some time been
investigating the facts concerning tbe
purchase and ownership of the island,
and when he informed these officials
that tbe navy had this property there
was little delay in getting them com
mitted to his plans of development.
As soon as he kuew of tho character
of the property aud its surroundings,
Admiral Crowninsbield decided that
this was exactly what tho naval au
thorities have been wanting for a
training station for landsmen, aud he
made his recommendation to Secre
tary Long accordingly. There is
plenty of water around the island, and
the land itself is admirably adapted
for these purposes. The authorities
prefer the south because of the better
climate and Blytbe island fills the bill
in every particular.
' On Saturday morning Mr. Brantley
and Senator Bacon called at tbe navy
department and there made the final
presentation of the case to Secretary
Long. Late in the afternoon, just be
fore leaving his office, Secretary Long
addressed to Chairman Foss, of the
house committee, and Chairman Hale,
of tbe senate committee, letters in which
he recommended the appropriation of
$25,000 for a wharf, road and store
house or other original improvements
for Blythe island, and states that it is
the purpose of the department to util
ize the island for a training station for
landsmen.

A GREAT FUNERAL PAGEANT
The Body of Dead Queen Escorted
Through London Streets.
MILLIONS PAY A LAST TRIBUTE
Route From Portsmouth to Wind

of Sorrowing Mourners.
With every circumstance of splen
did pomp befitting the obseqnies of so
beloved a monarch, all that is mortal
of Queen Victoria was borne through
the streets of London Saturday, and
started .... toward , the ancient . , , fortress .
palace of the sovereigns of England.
leroapsthe stately grandeur of the
days sorrowful pageant through the
exvarmiug streets of Lomiou, with
hundreds of thousands of mourners
formiug a black border to the route,
wrll never be surpassed.
Friday the family, friends and ten
antry paid their last tribute to Queen
victoria at ( owes, and the navy paid
its last tribute on the Solent. Saturday
the nation was crowding tho capital,
and tendering, with an enormous pop
ular demonstration, its farewell to
beloved monarch.
A drenching riun was falling when,
at 8:50 o’clock n. m. the royal mourn
ers disembarked at the Clarence yard,
Portsmouth, where lay the royal
yacht, “Alberta,’ with the coffin on
its deck, and where a marine guard
had watched all night. The sailors
boro the body ashore and placed the
coffin in tlie royal saloon of a special
train, while all the ships stretching
away Tbeir to captains Cowes, and fired. chief minute officers guns,
were
present at the dock and bade a last
farewell. The train started at once
for London.
The tiring of the minute guns and
the tolling of bells at 11:15 announced
to the countless multitude who had
been crowding London’s muddy
streets since daylight that the funeral
procession with the body of Queen
Victoria had begun its passage through
the capital. Tho people fonght for
hours for a glimpse of the coffin and
the kings aud others following it.
They saw a long procession of soldiers,
a passing show of dazzling regalia,
with a hundred royalties crowding
after them.
The day was somber, wet and chilly,
as are most of London’s winter days.
The cloudy sky added to the gloom of
the whole city.
The gun carriage bearing the cof
fin, drawn by cream colored horses,
was accompanied by officers as out
riders, and behind, all mounted, came
the most remarkable guard of honor
that has ever been seen in modern
times. It consisted of King Edward,
Duke of Connaught, aud Kaiser Wil
liam, riding abreast, and behind them
came a few titled attendants, more
“gold sticks,’’and then King Carlos
of Portugal, King George of Greece
and King Leopold of Belgium. The
latter, being feeble, rode in a carnage,
The whole royal company of forty,
all riding, consisted of three kings,
oue emperor and the crown princes of
Roumania, Hweden, Germany, Don
Ansfn’ Aosta, hoir presumptive of nt ‘ion the Italian
throne; Archduke Irancis I erdinand,
of Australia, and Grand Duke Michael
oifiussia.
I lie remainder was made np of Ger
man and English princes. Following
this came a cortege of mounted royalty
and six carriages bearing Queen Alex

An incident that caused much ex
citement and regret ': occurred during
the ,, progress of . the funeral . , procession .
a t Windsor. Tho horses attached to
the gun carriage lieoame restive kicked
over the traces and nearly overturned
the gun caraige with the coffin. Tho
animals were quickly removed and 100
sailors, drawing the carriage by a long
rope, completed the journey. Tho
incident delayed the processiou about
0 ne-balf hour.
Another incident was the sudden
death of an on-looker who proved to
be a retired army officer.
The directors of the Northeastern
Railway System of England ordored
that at 2:30 p. m., the hour appointed
f or the funeral at Windsor, all trains
ba brought to a standstill and every
servant of the company remain mo
tionless for ten minutes.
The London hospitals cared for
1,300 persons who were injured in the
crowd. Of this number, however,
only sixty were seriously hurt, in
eluding several polioemeu and soldiers
an( j a number of women suffering
from broken limbs.
One well dressed womau fell down
j n the street and was picked up dead,
the oxcitemcnt having killed her be
f ore sbo h a d the opportunity to see the
pageant.
Already the political phases of the
occasion are being discussed. There
markable prominence of Germans and
German influence is noteworthy. Em
pe ror William’s officers, soldiers and
sailors wore more conspicuous in all
the ceremonies than were those of all
other nations together. This has had
the effect of popularizing Germany
with the people, who recently regarded
her as their most menacing enemy.

Remains of Dead Ruler are Borne
From Osborne Honse.
SCENE OF GRANDEST SIMPLICITY
Amidst Rattle of Minute Guns
Great Pageant Leaves Cowes
For Portsmouth Harbor.
The body of Queen Victoria was
borne Friday afternoon from its quiet
resting place in Osborne house to
Portsmouth, the heart of England’s
navy. The half hundred fighting
ships fired their broadsides and min
guns and over tho still waters, bo
tween the roll of the six-pounders,
came strains of Chopin aud Beethoven’s
funeral marches. The orews stood
Rilently along tho decks, aud tho
fiags, drooped half way down tho
halyards,
Half a million of tho late Queen
Victoria’s devoted subjeots lining tho
shores of tlieSolontwituossedamn
jestio and an awe-inspiring pageant
and bade a last farewell to their be
loved ruler. AH who witnessed tho
function testify to the profound oino
tiou it inspired and agree that tho
spectuclo could not have been sur
passed for splendor and solemn offect.
Tho dominant note in tho whole
sceuo was its grand simplicity, and, so
far as human utternneo was concerned,
its silence. Tho sad procession glided
along in beautiful order aud precision
os though moved by some hidden pow
er. No incident of any kind occurred
to mar its stately beauty, The wostli
er wns traditional “queen’s weather.”
The “queen of tho seas," was carried
across the waters to the accompani
meut of luinuto guns and military
music—a picture which will live in
history.
The ceremony, consisting in remov
ing the remains from Osborne to tho
pier at Goives was soarcely less in
teresting than the naval function,
The body was reverently homo to
tho royal yacht Alberta by eight stal
wart seamen.
There have boeu more magnificent
pageants than that escorting the body
-if Queen Victoria from the house
where she died to tho royal yaokt, but
never lias there been witnessed in re
cent world history a procession more
remarkablo in its combination of pomp
aud splendor with grief ami humility.
Three special trains took down the
members of the house of lords and the

other officials and the correspondents
