UINP80II, Feb. 5.-Tlic Inst honor
have becu paid to Queen Vh-toriu. Her
Isidj now rests peacefully near tlmt of
her husbu nd in the mausoleum nt Frog
more. The finul ccreiiiuiiies wvre mure
of a funereal and pathetic character than
any of the obsequies which preceded
tin in. Shortly before 3 o'clock, in the
presence of the royal mourners, the
Grenadier Guards of honor lifted the
coffin from its temporary resting place
in the Alhent memorial clmpel and placed
it on a gun carriage. In the U'-csnvhile
the Qucvn'i company of Oi-euuilhrs,
drawn up In the quadrangle, presented
arms and wheeled into line, their ritle
uiuxilc pointing to the rear, at the re
verse, and with stow, measured steps
marched towards the castle gate.
At the head of the procession was a
bund playing Chopiu'i funeral march.
Slowly the cortege passed under the
liinsgive archway onto the Long Walk,
which was a muss of Murk, brilliantly
coVcd with scarlet. Life. Ciiiiirdsinen
kept the crowd buck.
In place on the gun carriage was the
same regulit which had attracted the
of millions since the march to the
grille begun nt Osborne. Close behind
walked the King, Kmperor William and
the Iuke of Caniinught, wearing dark
military overcoats and plumed cocked
huts and looking pule and careworn. In
hollar dull atlre were the Kings of Port
ugal and Ilelgiiiui. All hends were licut.
The blue and gray of the Oerman princes
redeemed the royal group from perfect
Sonibreness of color, lieliind these walk
ed (Jueeu Alexandra and the royal prin
cesses, deeply veiled. The queen car
ried an umbrella, hut the others had
their hnnds clasped.
As the lust trio of these veiled women
i.hsed out from the castle there came
two Isiys dressed in bright tartan kilts
anil velvet jackets. Iletween them was
a young girl, her fair, loose hair glitter
ing against the crepe of mourning.- Two
of these were children of Princess of
Pmttf nlierg and the other was little
I'niice Edward of York. His tiny legs
could hardly keep pace even with the
slow progress of tlie mourning hand..
The rear of the procession was brought
lip by the suites of the kings and prin
ces, their vari-colored overcoats, form
ing a striking patch of color. Down the
Long Walk, with the hand still playing
Chopin's dirge, this quiet throng slowly
mode its way -to the mausoleum. The
horses attached to the gun carriage were
inclined to U restive hut, as an extra
precaution, a drag of ropes was attached
to the wheels and held by sturdy artil
lerj men.
At the hslge gates the strains of the
trnd died away and the pipers com
menced their lament.
There, between the broad avenue of
stately trees, the crowds were the thick
est, forming dense black banks.
Ily 3:30 p. in. the crowned bier had
passed into tlie other lodge, which
I" mis to the Frogi.iore enclosure, where
r.one hut the family and servant were
admitted.
The choir met them and the royal fam
ily and their relatives entered the burial
plac. so dear to the lute queen, rang
ing themselves on each side of the Co 111 n.
The bishop of Winchester read the last
part of the burial service. After further
Hinging by the choir, the benediction waa
given and amid the privacy of the fam
ily tomb, the hist farewells were said, the
fiiiiirul came to an end, the mourners
drove to the castle and the crowds dis
persed. BRILLIANT NAVAL TARADE.

LONDON, Feb. 2. Half a million of
the late (Juecn Victoria's devoted sub
jects, liuing the shures of the Solent yes
terday, witnessed a majestic ami awe
inspiring pageant ami hade a hist fare
well to their beloved ruler, happy in the
circumstuuccs of her deuth, sovereign of
the greatest uuval power in the world
and fortunute in the maimer of her ob
leqr.ies. The dominant note in the whole scene
was its grand simplicity and, so fur as
hiiniuu utterance was concerned, its si
lence. The sad procession glided along
in beautiful order and precision, as
though moved by some hidden power.
No incident of any kind occurred to mar
Its stately beauty. There was no acci
dent of any sort ashore or afloat.
The weather was the traditional
"Queen's weather." The "Queen of the
Bens" was carried across the waters to
the uccouipnniment of minute guns and
liilitury music a picture which will live
i history.
The bund of each ship took up the
luieral march when the Alberta came
abreast of her and the spectators on nil
the other craft took off their hats.
Following the Alberta trailed along
five other yachts at regular Intervals.
First wus the ictnria and Alnert, a
royul yacht twice as large as the Alberta-
and of similar design. She car
ried the royal mourners who, as rela
tives or nrllcials, followed the coffin.
King Kdwnrd and Kmperor illiara
were chief among them; but, from the
jbservation boats they were the only
group not recognizable A few scarlet
coats vould he seen, with ladies in the
ieepest mourning, uml on the upper deck
the queen's Indian attendants were dis-
tinguishnble by their white helmets and
turbans.
In the wake of the Victoria and Al
bert, Emperor William's yacht, Hohen
tolleni, loomed up like an ocean grey
hound, ns large as a warship, painted a
ipotless white, with yellow funnels, trim,
glittering un-funerally, carrying the Ger
man (lug at her bow and the naval en
liga at bait-mast at her stern.

NEW YOHK. Feb. 1. The 7-story
factory of tho William Wicke company,
manufacturers of cigur boxes, lulsds and
ribbons, at 401 to 411) East Thirty-first
street, was shaken yesterday afternoon
by an explosion in the "shaving tower"
which wrecked the tower and demolish
ed the roof of the engine house. The ex
plosion is believed to have been caused
by gas which found its way into the
"tower" and mingled with the flue dust
there and was ignited In some unknown
manner.
The force of the explosion was trem
endous and completely wrecked the tow
er. The disintegrated brick work fell on'
the engine house, crushing It, and the
concussion of the explosion cracked the
big smoke stack 100 feet high that
towered over the engine room. Every
window in the rear of the big factory
was shattered, as were the windows in
the front and rear of the live story build
ing Nos. 404, 400, and 408 East Thirty
second street, connected by a bridge
with the Wicke factory.
Nearly 81)0 persons were at work in the
Wicke factory at the time of the ex
plosion. Three hundred and fifty of
them were women.
Tho employes in the two factories
rushed to the fire escapes which were
soon filled with excited men and women,
many of them bleeding from their
wounds. Some of them thinking that
the building was uliont to collapse, jump
ed to the sidewulk from the fire escape
balconies on the second floor. Noue of
them was seriously hurt.
Fire which did damage to the extent
of $l,r00,000 started anew in the even
ing. How the fire started Is not known,
further than tlmt it was the result of an
explosion in the boiler room which bad
been wrecked by the explosion and con
sequential fire in the afternoon. At the
time tlie fire started Superintendent
Dooner, of th. Huilding department and
Contractor Cody were at work with
thirty men attempting to pull down the
shaving tower adjacent to the boiler
room, in which the explosion iu tlie after
noon took place. The tearing down of
this tower is thought to have been res
ponsible for the sturt of the second fire.
The ruins of the tower fell into the
ruins of the boiler room and on top of ad
jacent rooms in which were stored chem
icals for the purpose of seasoning words,
thus causing a second explosion. Smold
ering emliers from the late fire added to
this find in a moment there was a liuge
blaze.
Engine Company 21 which had at
tached lines of hose to the hydrant at tlie
comer and almost underneath the walls
of the burning factory, was seen to be
in a dangerous position. The firemen
were forced bnck by the heat and were
compelled to nhandon the three big white
horses thnt stood there. Tho wall had
broken out just ls-side the engine and the
heat was unbearable. The horses strug
gled to escape, but seemed paralyzed with
fright. The hair on their bodies was
seeu to turn to a brownish color. Some
firemen threw overcoats over their heads
and ran in and out the traces. The horses
plunged mnilly into First avenue, but be
came cntnngled uhout a lamppost and
were unable to get further. Three fire
men secured overcoats from tho crowd,
ran lo the horses, threw the coats over
the animals' backs, cut the lines tlmt
held them to the post and started them
away. They ran for some distance and
were then taken to a livery stable. One
of the horses was so badly burned that
be had to be shot. The other two may
recover.
The Wicke building was burned to the
ground. The walls had all fallen one
by one and fhere only remained stand
ing the big chimney in the south wall.
The building in the rear of that, extend
ing, into Thirty-second street, was also
gutted and the interior burned.
