’{bUENIIY BURIEU
Her Modesty \Vas Present, Together With'
Princess Beatrice, the Prince of
- \Vales and Ethny Other of
England's Dignitaries.
COWEs. Isle of Wight, Feb. 5.—-The fu-
neral of Prince Henry of Battenberg was '
held here today, and the participation of
the vessels of the flying squadron therein
and other impressive features of the cere-
monies drew a great throng of visitors.
Business throughout the island was prac-
tically suspended. The dead prince was
goVernor of the island. Half masted flags
and other emblems of mourning were dis-
played on all sides.
In the roadstead, where rode at anchor
the grea uadron of warships, the scene
was very picturesque. the effect being
heightened by the lowering skies and
misty atmosphere. During the early
morning the staff officers of the fleet came
ashore, detachments of marines and blue-
jackets were landed to take part in' the
procession, and the final preparations for
the funeral were concluded. On board the
Alberta, beneath a canvas canopy, the
coffin containing the body of the prince
rested upon a bier, covered with a British
ensign and surr unded by a guard of ma-
rines. 0n the p1er to which the AlbeI ta
was moored was a guard of honor fur-
nished by the Scottish rifles. _
Owing to the misty atmosphere, signal-
ing between Osborne House and the Re-
venge, the flagship of the squadron, Rear
A dmiral Alfred Dale commanding, was
impossible, and communication between
the queen’ s residence and the fleet had to
be kept up by steam launches. .
The Last Sad Rites.
At about 10 o ’clock the Duke of Con-
naught and the Duchess of Albany and
later Princess Beatrice, her children and
the Princess Louise drove from Osborne
House to Cowes and embarked on board
the Alberta. After a short interval of
prayer the coffin was borne between lines
of marines, bluejackets and police from
the landing place to Whippingham church.
Only a few cabinet ministers were able
to be present at the services. They in-
cluded Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of
state for the co onies; George J. Goschen,
first lord of the admiralty; A. J. Balfour,
first lord of the treasury, and Viscount
Cross, lord privy seal. The Marquis of
Salisbury and the other ministers at the
same hour were attending a special funeral
service in hOnor of the late prince in West-
minster abbey. Lieutenant Commander
W. S. Cowles, the naval attache of the
United States embassy, represented the
United States embassador here.
Among the officers who escorted the
body of the prince to the church were the
Prince of Wales, in field marshal’s uni-
form; the Duke of York, in naval uniform,
and the Duke of Connaught, Prince Ed-
ward cf Saxe-Weimar, Prince Christian of
Sleswick—Holstein, the Princes Francis
ommander
in chief, Viscount Wolseley; eneral Sir
Henry Evelyn Wood and General Sir Red-
vers Buller. The queen, Princess Beatrice
and two of the latter’s children followed
the body to the church in a carriage.
An Impressive Sight.
Shortly before noon a gun carriage,
drawn by six powerful artillery horses,
groomed until their coats sparkled and
with steel trappings burnished to silver
brightness, arrived at the pier. Behind it
was led the deceased’s charger in mourn-
ing trappings, riding boots hanging, re-
versed, in the stirrups.
The casket was then shouldered by eight
naval petty ofl'icers,.and was slowly con-
veyed from the Alberta to the gun car-
riage in waiting at the end of the gang-
On the casket also were several floral
wreaths, including the beautiful tribute
from the queen which her majesty placed
upon the coffin yesterday after the body
arrived here.
The funeral procession started for W111):
pingham church at 12:30 p. In. It Was
headed by a detachment of the isle of
Wight volunteers. After the Scots guards,
who followed, came the gun carriage
upon which the casket rested. Eight mili-
tary officers of high rank walked four on
each side, acting as pallbearers.
The body arrived at the church at 1 :30
p. 111., where it was received by the lord
chamberlain, Lord Lathom, and by the
deans of Winchester and Windsor. rl‘he
clergy preceded the coffin up the aisle to
the chancel. It was borne by noncommis-
sioned officers ofL—the Scots guards, and
was deposited in the'ceuter of the choir.
In the meanwhile the choristers were
singing the opening sentences of the burial
service.
At the conclusion of the services the
coffin was temporarily placed In a sarcoph-
agus, erected in the househpld pew, and
earth and flowers were cast upon it.
The queen was vigorous enough to be
though it was noticed she leaned heavily
on the arm of her Indian attendant.

‘of His Family and Himself.
CHICAGO, Feb. 5.—-An entire family of
six—father, mother, wife and three chil-
dren—were murdered by Richard Klattke,
‘ a Lake View carpenter, who then com-
pletcd his work by killing himself. ‘The
(lead a1e:,
Richard Klattke, carpenter, 38 years.
Kate Klattke, his wife.
John Klattko, his father, aged 73 years.
Mina Klattke, his mother, aged 71 years.
Mina Klattke, daughter, aged 9.
Anna. Klattke, daughter, aged 8.
Emma Klattke, daughter, aged 7.
The members of the Klattke family were
found dead today in their little cottage at
207 Berseau avenue, two blocks from Cuy-
ler station, a suburb on the Chicago and
Northwestern railroad. The discovery was
made by Matthew Brown, a saloon keeper.
Mr. Brown, wishing some work done,»
called at the Klattke residence to secure
the services of the carpenter. 'He rapped
on the door, but there was no response.
Knowing that the Klattkes were early
risers, he became suspicious, called neigh-
bors and broke in.
In the house he found the seven corpses.
Each had a bullet wound in the head. In
each case the ball had penetrated the brain,
and death had evidently been instantane-
cus.
Beside the body of Richard Klattke lay
a revolver, and empty cartridge shells were
scattered about the rooms. One peculiar
feature was the lack of any indication of
a struggle on the part of any of the vic-
tims, and a heavy odor, which appeared
to be that of chloroform, pervaded the
house. From this it was surmised that
Richard had first chloroformed the entire
family and had then at his leisure taken
deliberate aim and had put a bullet into
the brain of each.
Mr. Brown took a hasty survey only of
the premises, and then hastened to send
word to the police. A detail of Officers
was sent to the scene in a patrol wagon,
and a more careful examination was made
of the surroundings. There seemed but
little more to complete the tale told by
Brown. Everything pointed to a deliber—
ately planned murder by the head of the
family and a. desire to place himself and
family beyond any further earthly ‘trous
bles.
Klattke had been despondent. His fam-
ily were cold and hungry. Since Christ-
mas he had been out of work, and he ended
his troubles just as relief was in sight.
Today his next door neighbor, Adolph
Schmidt, called at the cottage with the
joyful news that he had found a job for
Klattke at the same time that Matt Brown
arrived on the same errand. They came
too late, jult how much no'one knows, for
the bodies were cold when they Were dis-
covered.

LONDON, Feb. 5. ——Miss Clara Barton,

ety; Mr. Pullman, her secretary, and the

wired United States Minister Terrell at
Constantinople asking if he would ap-
point Miss Barton and her comrades, in
the capacity of individual members of the
Red Cross society. as bearers of relief to
the Armeni..ns. Mr. Terrell replied that

porters. Upen the strength of this answer

nople at once.
