THE POPE’S DEATH.
AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION.
THE CLOSING SCENES. (Received This Day at 8 a.m.) ROME, Jan. 24
The Pope is lying in state in the Chapel of Sacrament, the second on the right when entering Saint Peters. Immense crowds are paying homage, including many peasants. Affecting scenes are witnessed, thousands kneeling on the pavement of the Church praying for the soul of the departed. The public are not allowed in the Chapel, but the features of the dead are plainly seen through a grating. The Pope is dressed in pontificial robes and white mitre. The .body is guarded by members of the Pope’s noble guards. The body, late in the day, was carried to the crypt, where it will be buried. Extreme simplicity will characterise the funeral.
