ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE FUNERAL.
Berlin, March 15,
(Received March 16,1888, at 12.50 p.m.)
An elaborate service in connection with the funeral obsequies of the late Emperor took place to-day at the cathedral, and was attended by all the members of the late Emperor's family with the exception of the Dowager Empress Augusta, who was too ill to be present. The arrangements for the funeral to-morrow are completed. Twelve colonels will act as pall-bearers. The coffin will be carried on a funeral car, and a great State procession will follow the remains of the late Emperor to the mausoleum at Charlottenburg. Emperor Frederick 111. will take part in the funeral solemnities, and will follow the remains of his father to the grave. The other members of the family and the foreign Royalties will come next, and be followed by Prince Bismarck, the civil officers of the Empire, the members of the Reichstag, and the provincial delegates. Troops from selected regiments of the army will escort the procession along the whole course of the route, which will be draped in black.
