HIGH DIGNITARIES ATTENDED AND THE CROWDS WERE VERY GREAT. -- Bells of Christ Church Cathedral Tolled For the Dead--Proces- sion Led By Police, and Sur- rounded by Troops. Montreal, Jan. 25.--The' commence: ment of the firing of a salute of yeven- teen guns on the: Champ de Mare, about nine o'clock, this morning, was the signal for the start of the funeral ovession of the late Hon. Raymond rdfontaine from the city hall, where the body has been lying in state since Tuesday night, when the remains ar- rived from Halifax. At an early hour, this morning, the family and relatives gathered in the' mortuary chamber, | and took a last look at the face of the dead minister. In other parts of the city ball theré gathered high dig- pitaries of church and state, Judges, and members of the House of Com- mons, and the provincial legidatures, Foonwuls, aldermen, and lawyers, whilp outside on the Champ de Mars, Jac ques Cartier Square, and on the streets adjoining, gathered the delega. tons from all over the province, po- 1 inl clubs, and various public bod- iw. The streets through which the procession passed, Notre Dame, St. James, Beaver Hall Hill, end Dorchester streets, were lined with | militia, to keep the large crowds back: ¢ thermometer had dropped to very close to zero through the night, | and it made waiting out in the frosty air for the procession to start rather trying for many, but nevertheless the cortege was an immense one. In the vicirity of 8t. James' cathedral, Rom- | an Catholic, on Dominion Square, there was an immense eoncourse of people. Tt was after ten o'clock when the head of the cortege reached the cathedral, and it took some time to get the crowd seated before the com- mencement of the requiem mass, which was sung by Archbishop Bruchesi, at- tended by a large numbera-ef the le n the procession was passing the nearest point to Christ Church cathe- dral, Anglican, the bells were tolled by an order from Venerable Archdea- con Norton. The proeession was led by police, and a detachment of militia, the hearse, drawn by six heavily drap- | od horses, being surrounded by a de tachment of sailors and officers of the Canadian government steamer Canada, | as will as police. Then followed the chief mourners, the sons, brother aml other relatives of the deceased. St, James cathedral would not be gin to hold the immense erowd which sought admission to the service, and it was well for those who were offiei al representatives, that they had heen provided with eards of admission. Af- ter the service the funeral procession re formed and proceeded to Cote des Neier cemetery, where a firine party performed tha last civil ceremony. -- -------- ACTUAL STRENGTH Of the Liberal Party in British Isles. i Landon, Jan. 25.~The election re turns have raised the lbheral strength ton record figure.
