Tho scr.vlce, which was to start at 2M6,

ning. Following tho ailmlsslon of tho
Btonemen to" tho Navy Ynrd. the great
crowds which had lined the -sides of the
streets augmented the nl ready unprece

nnd sailors were stationed about the yard
and marshaled tho crowds with courteous
efficiency, Tho Jargo plateau before the

A hymn wnB. then sung by the mighty
' throng, which was led from the stand by
Doctor Stone. Following It was another,
"Onward, Christian Soldiers," which camo
up from the concourso In a mighty chorus.
The third verso, commencing "Like a mighty
army," rnng out from every throat and
drowned tho music of Iho band. Tho Invo
cation was rca'd by Chaplain Dickons, who
prayed that time would break down the
barriers so that no dogmatic line would
, part man from man, and paid tribute to
the departed members for whom the serv
ices were held. Ho closed, with the Lord's
Trayer and ithe Apostles' Creed, tho whole
assemblage Joining.
The names of tho departed members
'were then read. The talk and hubub set
tled down to silence as tho firing squad
fared about and fired throe volleys. Then
a bugler blew a 1 ng measured tap and
thejlast note died away Into a silence that
was maintained for. one minute
Tho benediction wns pronounced and the
great crowds gave way. They swayed back
and forth until ,tha outer lines fell Into a
, channel whlcfv. was until after 5 o'clock In
clearing the gates. A floral boat about six
feet long was launched on the waters as a
memorial to one of tho members who had
been drowned.
At the entrance the attendance was put
as high as, 200.000. Tho trolley starters said
It was the largest crowd they had over
handled and estimated the crowds at 150.

pany on a half-minute schedule. Until a vir
tual moving belt 'of cars operated from the
centre of the city to the Navy Yard. A
downpour of rain caught n" few stragglers
who stilt remained at tho gates awaiting
the cars.

WEEKS' BOOM IN TOTVN.
There was a new tent pitched In. candi

business partner of Senator John W. Weeks,
of Massachusetts, and once condldate for
Governor of Maryland, took active charge
of the Weeks boom and forcasted big
things for the New' England entry,
"We expect.,rsald Mr, Weller," that Sena

proximately 200 votes on the flnt oajlot.
That will be convincing proof that he Is not
a 'favorite Bon,' but a nationwide candl-

Along Michigan avenue, where hotels are
housing Intense political activity, the chief
topic of conversation today waB the outline
qf the Republican Dlatform given by Chair-

cdncernlng Colonel Roosevelt's attitude.
THIRD TICKET NOT FEARED.
While disclaiming any authentic informa
tlon as to the Colonel's Intentions. Chair
man Utiles declared his belief that Mr;
Jlosevelt will not head a third party ticket
should tho platform meet his approval, even
though ho had not been nominated by the
Republican convention. Men In a position
, to know much of the Inside workings of tho
party, drew the Inference from tha, state
ment that Colonel Roosevelt already has
been approached on the matter, and that
Chairman Jlllles wasnot talking blindly
when he made the statement.
In this connection' It was pointed out that
the four cardinal principles of the plat
form as outlined "by Mr, Hllles adequate
