ROYALTY WALKS IN A SAD PROCS ION The scenes Attending Removal of QueenV Body Cowes, Feb. 1.-The body of Queen Victoria was borne this afternoon from its testlitg place In Osborne house to Portmoutb, tho heart of England's navy. The half hundred fighting ships tred their broadsides and minute guns and over the still waters, between the roll of the six-pounders, came at-ain of Chopin's and Beethoven's funeral marches. The crews stood ;iiently along the decks, and the flags were dropped halt way down the halyards. Past the most powerful Beet England could muster quickly, past the Hohen. zollern, the huge, ihrougb cumbersome Camperdawn, the Rodney and the nbow, on through the line of British battleships, till Japan's latsuse the biggest warship in the world, was left astern and the German Baden was beam to beam with Vice Aamiral Sir Harry Holdsworth Rawson's spiend d tag ship, the Majestic, of the (,hannei squadron, the naval funeral procession slowly steamed. Ahead were eight destro)ers. Paddling leisurely after them was the royal yacht Alberta, half screened by the awning on the poop, the royal coftin placea on a crimson dais, whose drawn curtains left free to view the magniieont casket and robes. Close by was the Trinity house yacht Irene, watching the course, while in the wake of the cofi came the royal yacht Victoria and Albert, with King Edward and Queen Alex andria and the English royal family; the royal yacht Osborne, with other royal personages, the imperial yacht Hohenzollern, with Emperor William, the duke and duchess of Connaught and others; the admiralty yacht Enchant ress and a Trinity house yacht with officials on board. The main squadron of battleships and cruisers were moored two and a halt cables apart, In one line, extend ing from Cowes to Spithead. The foreign war vessels were moored southwest of the British ships, in the order of their arrival and x.ongbide of them were moored eight British gun oats. After leaving Trinity pier, the Al berta, with her attendant escort, steamed aleng the deep channel be tween the coast of the Isle of Wignt and the single line of battleships and cruisers. The main line was as follows, be ginnng at Cowes: The Alexandra, Uamperdswn, Rodney, Benbow, Col 11o stood, Colosss, Sans Parreil, Nih, Howe, Meiampas, severn, Gala ,te, BelPqpto!as, Pe-lorus, Diana., Vonqueror, Arrogant, Minerva, Niobe, -Hero, Hood, Traffalgar, Resolution, Jupiter, Hannibal, Mars, Prince ieorge and Majestic. After the procession 3ad passed the Mjestie and the ships in the Solent na %t Cowgs ceased firing the forts and ships in Portsati6~t'- "'% r menced fiting minute gens, continuing uutit the Alberta was alongside the wharf. The ships were manned and the guards and bands paraded. All the sea front was manned. Then when the Majestc was left astern, the Albert% was moored at 4 40 p. ma. for the night. To-morrow the body will be taken ashore at Portsmouth land thence con veyed to L->ndon and Windsor for the last tributes to the great queer. THE LAND CEREMONIES. The land ceremonies, consisting in bringing the coffn from Osborne house to the pier at Cowes, was scarcely less interesting than the naval function. At noon the gorgeous trap pings of Chappelle Ardaits were dis turbed. Over the ceffn was thrown the coronation robe worn by the girl queen. On this was placed the royal regalia, wand, sceptre and crown, which were scarcely ever used by the queen in her life time. Danmmy regalia will be buried with her at Frogmore. Thousands lined the route in u'owe. At 1.30 p. ma. King Edwvard and Em peror William emerged from Osborne house, both in admiral'a unifor m. Tben came the coffn carried by pretty off cers from the Victoria and Aber, pre ceded by pipers and accompanied by equerries. Immediately behind, the king took his place, on his right tbe emperor of Germany, en his left thbe Duke of 2on naught. The king's head was lowe I. The emperor was erect, his face ex pr-esiionless. Then foliewed the royal prit oes, Queen Alexandria and tight royal prit cesses, all afoot. Severat of the pat ty, especially Princess Beatrice, were sobbing bitterh. All walked slowly, three abreast. A ROYAL PROCE55ION. The speetacle of the two great mon archs, followed by the women of their families ai~d the noblest priaces of Europe wa:king silently along the counitri road behind t he bier blazing with preci' uii btenes, wil l1:e~ long in the memory of those who saw it. 'ibe veneration and .the love a hich the ce tion implied were secent'iate'l by the upl n ior of the unitorms of these kings and pwincea and the maignificance of th.- m litary disp'ay which pri ceded them, a deaz'ing mats o:? co'or W ben -* the head of the procession emerged etrom the ii" at entrance to Oborne, the scarlet bands ar ousedi the c un iv euhoe' with the gr and strainas of the fui~eral m-!ehes.

When the cogn camn- -n sight the tiniest boy pressed in t.' pe ep - those jewels and that tieh coronatiol rope only se ed to remind them c1 the well-loved teatures of the woman, who for over 60 years bad governed the people and b.d been beloved by them. In striking contrast with the black robed women fellowed the heads of tbe ro3 I household in gorgeous uniform%. Te coffln was placed upon the gun carriage. The pipers commenced their dirge. The procession marched slowly to the gate, where the glittering military escort was met, the masscd bands breaking out with a dead march and the cortege Iursued its sluggish way in the midst of intense silence, save the music of the bands, to the pier. The troops were massed in c~ose order. The bcd, was reverenty borne to:the royal yacht Alberta by the eihbt stalwart seamen. The queen and the princess, as well as the king, were very fati gued. The king then boarded a *team launch and went off to the royal yacht Victoria and Albert. Shortly after ward the other royalties boarded the royal yachts, and the Alberta, with her s)lemn burden moved away from the pier and the minute guns began their roar and the stately, solemn pro cession passed slowly on to the harbor of Portsmouth. There have been more magnificent pageants than that escorting the body of Queen Victoria from the house where she died to the royal yacht, but never has there been witnessed in re cent world history a procession more remarkable in its combination of pomp and splendor with grief and humility. PREPARATIONS IN LONDON. London, Feb. 2. -Half a million of the late Queen Victoria's devoted sub. jects lining the shores of the Solent yesterday witnessed a majestic and awe-inspiring pageant and bade a last farewell to their beloved ruler, happy in the circumstances of her death, sov ereign of the greatest naval power in the world, ard fortunate in the manner of her obsequies. The dominant Lete was its grand simplicity. The sad procession glided along in beautiful order and precision as though moved by some hidden power. There was no asecident of any sort ashore or afloat. The weather was traditional "queen's weather." At 2 a. m., today's weather seems some what doubtful, but if equally favor able the millions of the metropolis will render their even grander military tribute to the queen, who desires to be buried as a soldier's daughter. Thou sands of troops are now marching into London and there is an equally large civilian invasion from the princes and abroad. MORE THAN SEVEN MILL10N DOL LARS VOTED FOR FORTIFICATIONS Wasbirgiou.,Oan. 31.-The house to day pased the fortifications appro priation bill and made fiue progress with the postoffice appropriation bill. During the general debate upon the former bill, Mr. Lanhane.of Texas de ive'red MCnotable speech upon the fu ture of the Democratic party, in which he made a strong p!ea for the neces sity of a united Democracy and coun selled the burial of the hatchet and the welcoming back of those who in the last two presidential campaigns have declined to support the nominees of the party. Many amendments were offered to the postoffice appropriation bill in the interest of various classes of postoffice employee but they all went down be fore points of order raised by Mr. Loud the chairman of the postoffice committees, who was in charge of the bill.

THR COST OF WAR "The supplementary estimate of 16,000,000 for m -eting the expenses of the war rt S .th Africa and the military opetrati .- ia China to the end of the current financial year were agreed to on Tuesday by a majority of 284 votes against 8. It was rendered necessary by miscalculations of the governm at, as Mr. Brodrick candidly admittedt, of the probable course of events at er 0ftober, when it was sup posed the series of successes of Lord Roberts would lead to the collapse of the Boer opposition. Instead of the subsequent scale of expenses being only about a fourth of what they had previously been, there has in fact been no reduction since the period of gue rilla war began. Over two hundred thosand men will still have to be kept indefinitely in the country, even including the volunteers, and in addi tion a force of ten thousand men con stituting the tnew Transvaal police re quires an expenditure of ?1.000,000. Of the sum asked for, ?is,500,0CO will be reqvired for the purposes of the war. it wil', h ,wever, only be nece. sary to raise a sam of eleven millions, in round umbers, as a sum of about five millions remiains of the amount voted in July.
