The “queue,” six and eight abreast, extended nearly seven miles from the entrance to the hall through the ad- | jacent streets. Many persons, men as well as wo- men, fainted from exhaustion, and am- bulance attendants were busy all along the stream of humanity. The doors of the hall were opened at 6 o'clock. Many thousands were already in line, and by noon the total number who had passed the bier, in- cluding those who had obtained en- trance the day before, exceeded 100, 000. Some 3000 moved silently through the hall every hour, but the waiting lines grew more rapidly. Still another form of tribute was shown in the arrival of a score of royal personages with their suites, which made the West End the scene of unusual animation. i Buckingham palace, where most of | the members of royalty are staying; | Marlborough house, still the residence | of King George and Queen Mary, and | other royal homes opened their doors: again and again throughout the day! as calls of courtesy were exchanged. Colonel Roosevelt, the special Amer- fcan ambassador to the king's funeral, : was among the many callers at Marl. borough house. From 6 o'clock in the morning. when the doors of Westminster hall opened for the first full day of lying in state throughout the day, the mourning-clad multitude in four deep formation filed past the bier. The police, with some tact and con- siderable patience, maintained order and kept the thousands moving stead- fly. The mourners entered at one end of the hall. double rows passing on either side of the catafalque and emerging at the opposite end of the building. When the doors were closed between 50,000 and 60,000 persons had viewed the casket. while perhaps half that, number were still waiting in the ad- jacent streets. At 11 o'clock a new “queue” was formed, and midnight: found the waiting throng swollen by many thousands. Wait All Night In Rain. These kept the night long vigil with a purpose of paying a tribute to the dead monarch, that would not be aban. doned, despite the rain that made; them most uncomfortable. The queue! was made up of men, women and chil- dren of many classes. It was a strangely cosmopolitan throng. Every | land and every color was represented. | There was no class distinction. The ' laborers in corduroys touched elbows | with the frock-coated West Ender. In| the flles women appeared to predomi. nate. | After the closing of the hall to the public, King Alfonso, who arrived in the evening, went in and stood with bowed head before the catafalque,! where he made a silent prayer. The spectacle of the immense, si- lent, patient throng of humble Lon- doners, men, women and children, shuffling along. its head slowly disap pearing into the hall, was an impres sive tribute to the dead sovereign. Among the floral tokens received was a wonderful wreath from the kaiser and kaiserin, It is at least five feet in diameter. It required six men to carry it. It is composed of lilies and orchids and the fragrance is over- powering. In the center of Westminster hall, beneath the lofty, vaulted roof, rests the royal casket on a catafalque of purple. Upon it are the jeweled crown, orb and scepter, and the royal stand: ard, and beneath them a cream-colored pall with a miniature rayol standard at each corner. Against the head of the casket rests an exquisite cross of violets and mauve orchids from Queen Alexandra, and on the eastern side is a heart. shaped wreath of bay leaves with a golden fimscription on purple ribbon announcing that it comes with sympa- thy and reverence from the house of commons. . Military Guard Casket. At each corner of the catafalque stands an officer of the Grenadier Guards, his back to the casket, his head bowed, the point of his bare sword resting on the ground, his gloved hands crossed on the hilt. Four yeomen of the guard, their tall pikes reversed, also stand with bowed heads: so do four members of the Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms, with their halberds reversed. The only up. right figure is that of a little Ghurka officer, with drawn sword, who stands like a brown statue at his dead em peror’s feet. All the brilliant watch wear thelr headdresses, and their stillness is like that of tle tomb. Mount Colima Is Restive.
