The final arrangements have vir- 1lly been completed. They required ate negotlations. On the one hand there was no precedent for hold- ing a national funeral outside the capital, and, moreover, the govern ment demurred at the cost of trans- porting to Malines the members of Parliament, judges, officials and dip- lomats. On the other hand, the rubzic of the Catholic Church requires that the requiem preceding interment shall be celebrated in the metropolitan church, which is in Malines and not in Brus- sels. To reconcile these conflicting con- ditions it was arranged that the cere- moeny in Brussels should take. the form of a combined memorial service and a national tribute, and for the interment proper to be carried out with all the pomp of the rubric at Malines the following da: ALEXANDRIA. ALEXANDRIA, Va., January 26 (Epecial).—The Civic Bureau of the Chamber of Commerce at its meeting Jast night reported that it was im- perative that a municipal dock be leased or bought and will make a definite proposition, with that end in wiil Belgium of the War. view, to the City Council within the next’ two weeks. Tt 15 claimed that cursion boats seriously coutemplate leaving Alexandria off as a stopping point unless something is done to re duce the cost of docking. The pres ent cost to excursion boats, it was #2id, 1s prohibitive. By establishing s _municipal dock, not only will all Washington excursion boats stop here, but it is believed other boat lines can be induced to make this city a port of call. Park Site Considered. The park committee reported that it has under consideration a site for a city park and expects to make a definite recommendation at a called meeting 1o be held within the next five days. The Mount which is to connect with the south end of the proposed Memorial Bridge, was discussed, but no decision reached as to the best route. The matter wil} be brought up agaln at the next meeting of the bu- reau. The bureau decided that all-night telegraph service should be maintain- ed by the two telegraph companies. At present one company closes at § and tke other at 10. After that time the only telegraph communication must be done by telephone to Wash- ington. Alformal request will be made that an all-night telegraph office be established.
