Notwithstandinthe inclement weather the Convocation Ball of the university in which the public serviaa was held was well filled by people in all walks of life anxious to pay a last tribute of respect to the kindly old man who was lio more. Public corporations sent representatives and distinguished citizens attended to da honor to the historian, philosopher, philanthropist and trusted friend. Num- bers of persons watched the long pro- cession of some 60 ,carriages as it wend- ed its way through Queen's Park and along St. Alban's and Wellesley streets to the cemetery and a, nuriteroos group stood reverently, with hetole bared, in the pelting rain, while the caeltet was lowered into the grave and the two soh cum committal prayers of the Anglican burial service were read by Rev. R. J. 2fooro, vicar of St. George's Church, A brief service was held at The Grange at 1 o'clock by Rev, R. J. Moore and Rev. W. Harris Wallace, pastor of Bev, erley street Baptist Church.

Philadelphia, Tune 13. -With a, dull leaden sky overhead Charles X. Hata- ilton, the young aviator, who has achieved. world-wide fame in less than a year, to -day made the meet daring flight' of his career, travellatg in his bi-plane from Governor'e Is- land, N. Y., to a point on tlie out- skirts of Philadelphia, a distance of 86 miles, in 113 minutes, unofficial time. -A feature of the wonderful achieve- ment of the modest young operator of the inachine was the ease with which he picked up and followed tram. on. the Pennsylvania Railroad, travelling at top speed. According to his programme he flew from Gov- ernor's Island to South Elizabeth, N. waera the train. was awaiting his appearance. FrOrn that point, town after town along the lin.e flags were hoisted representing the amazing fact that the train had passed "with Hamilton flying directly over it," oc- easionally with the probable desire to give variety to his Journey, he di- verged a little. At Princeton, for instance, he went up near the old college town so that the students and graduates gathered there far com- mencement week might have a chance to see him, At the aviation field, four miles northeast from the centre of the city us the crow flies, a tre- mendous crowd awaited the arrival of the daring air mem,. An almost ideal landingeuehion, composed of tall grass growing out of soft ground had been selected. The field lies te the north of the Pennsylvania tracks, near North Pennsylvania junction, and it was surrounded by 500 police- men to keep back the crowd. All the mills in the neighborhood Were shut down and that section of Philadelphia took a holiday... The crowd began gathering at 6 a. m. and patiently waitedfar news of Hamilton's start. Finally the sig- nal flags erected on a tall pole there told of Hamilton's leaving Governor's Island and other signals arranged by the N. Y. Time and the Philadel- phia Public Ledger, under whose aus- pices. Hamilton made the journey, kept the crowd informed of the aviat- or's progress. It was a anisty morning' and the ratage of vision die not extendvery far, but the crowd patiently waited. Then a re - lot came that Hamilton had crossed into Pennsylvania, and lb did not seem long before a shout went up from the eaetern end of the crowd that Ramilton was in sight. Sure enotigh, there he was, high in the air, directly over the speeial train. A moment later he was in plain view of ell, and then a tremendous cheer went up. Flying steadily and true, Hamilton rapidly approached, and when he Was within a, few yards of the field he swdtv- ed rapidly to the riga:: and crossed the field, The daring atvia.tor circled the field several times and then swooped down like a seagull alter a fisb. He landed but before he could gat out of ale maehine tbe crowd broke -through the police lines and rushed .et Hamilton. The aviator was, however, quickly sur- rounded by a cordon of police. tie was as cool as if be hea just ciligated from an automobile ride. Gov. Steuirt was on the field to wel- emno Hamiltoo, To tap Governor he said that it was the best trip he. had ever made. "I had the machine ht per. feet contra all the vay, and could have stayed op indefinitely if I had desired," he declared. For a long time after he alighted Hamilton could pay no attention to his biplane, so enthusiastic was the recep- tion he received. The pollee nad All they could do to keep the crowd from crush- ing his maehine. he was able to hurt his attention to it, and than he an- nounced after an inspection that he would attempt to .return to New York within an hour, the weather conditions being in his opinion ideal for flying. Charles K. Hamilton to -day accom- plished the daring task of flying from New York to Philadelphia, a distance of 86 milts, in owe hour and. 53 min,utes, and is preparing to make the re- turn flight front Philadelphia to New York. - The to'cat round trip distance is the longest city to oity flight evermadeby an aviator, exceeding, the record flights of Curtiss and Peulhan. Hamilton's flight was sneeteaulaa from start to finish, and his =rival at Philadelphia was the sigleal for an en- thusisisbic demonstration by vast crowds. of people. He started tido Govereoro? Island, N. Y., at 7.35 a. me, passing over Metuchen Junction, at 8.09; New Bruluswick, N. 3., a 8.19, Monmouth .Tunction at 8.29; Princeton Junctioti at 8.38; Trenton, N.

The King's Suggestion -Statement by Mr. Asquith To -day. gr,•••••••,...,•• London, June 12, --The reassembling of Parliament and all the subsequent proceediogs therein have been complete- ly overshadowed by interest, in the cum- ing conference between tho Liberal and Conservative -parties in an effort to reach some solution of the coustitutional crisis, The Government has made no anneunceenint respecting the negotias tions, but has allowed it to be known indirectly that ex•Prentier Balfour, as Opposition leader, has been invited to nieet representatives of the Government and confer on the question of the Rouse of Lords' relation with the House of Commons. Mr. Macaw has not visited the Commons since ite reassembling, but doubtless he will be there Monday, when Premier Asquith is expeeted to make a statement of public businese ana to de- clare the terms of the overture in refer- ence to the constitutional difficulty. Mr. Bolfour will probably reply and an early response is taken for granted. The Liberal press states, and there is no apparent reason to doubt the accura- ey of the statement, that the conference was decided upon at the suggestion of King George, If so, he is following two well known precedents Queen. Victoria established when she asked Mr. Glad- stone to employ the same means to har- monize theantagonisms aroused by the Irishchurch net and the franchise act in 1884. It is assumed that King George, like his grandmother, did not suggest any special method of proceduer, leaving the settlement of detalla to the Govern- TTheeiltmoderates on either side welcome the conference and the extreme wings profess not to oppose it. "Not a. hundred conferences will make the Liberal -Radical party budge an. inch from its position'th " asserts e Radical Nation, while th e Tory Saturda.y Re - View, though professing to hope that the conferenee will materialize because it would prevent the immediate removal of the acrid dispute, points out that such methods have rarely been sticcessful. Men can sit around a, table, but that does not make them agree, the Review says, The Spectator thinks the omens for euceess are extremely good. How the Government will manage to placate the Irish Nationalists is mucli speculated upon. It is obvious that should the conference attempt any set- tlement not pleasing to thorn, Mr. Red• mond and his followings could turn out the Government immediately. Mr. Red- mond himself is silent, but T. P. O'Con- mon who is again being employed as the intermediary between the Trish leader and the Cabinet, publishes a significant article, in which he says: "The National- ists have no enthusiani for anything which might even be tortured into an appearance of wavering on the part of the Governm,ent. From the first hour of the fight the policy they have urged is one of a prompt, energetic, uncompro. tubing fight against the House of Lords. That was the policy ultimately set forth in the historic decision of Mr. Asquith just before King Edward's death. The moraent that policy was announced, the Irish party gave tho Government its whole -hearted support. They will, I be- lieve, continue that support so long as the policy of Mr. Asquith's declaration is adhered to." The inference obviously is that the support of the Irish will be withdrawn if that policy is not maintained. Mr. O'Connor elsewhere expresses serious edoubts of any solid result of a confer - The Laborite party has not given any opinion officially, although individual members are known to be vehemently opposed to a conference. Neither they nor the Irish seem likely to be invited to participate. nor would they accept if KIDNAPPED they were asked.
