(by cable—press association—(AUSTRALIAN and n.z. cable association.) (Eeccived 23rd, 5.5 p.m;) PAEIS, jNTovember 22. A most elaborate Stato tributo to tlie late M. Jean Jaures began yesterday, when the body was exhumed in the cemetery at Albi and entrained for Paris, where it lies to-night in the Casimir Perier Salon at the Chamber of Deputies. On Sunday morning the coffin will be placed on a lofty catafalque in front of the Chamber, with classical funeral urns at each end from which mcenso will arise, while choirs will sing and tho public pass by in procession, In the afternoon the cOffln will be mounted on a gigantic funeral car, eighty feet long, from which incense will rise as it proceeds from the Chambet to the Pantheon, with eighty miners as pall-bearers. The coffin will be received by tho President and distinguished officials. Bhythmic dances will follow round the lofty catafalque, and the final obsequies will be attended by a display of classic pomp and almost fanatical worship.
