Alen who were acknowledged leaders of political parties, kings of finance and commerce and men selected to serve the highest positions In the nation, wore among those who expressed the country's Immeasurable loss. Funeral services will be held in the Senate ehamlier Wednesday at noon, at wbicli the President, Cabinet, Congress, public officials and friends will be present. For a brief period in tho forenoon the body will lie in state in the marble room.

Dan Hanna, on Friday afternoon. It is likely that Bishop Leonard, of the Northern diocese of Ohio of the Episcopal rhurch, and formerly rector of St. John's church la this city, will conduct tbe services. Senators and represent at ivea visited the hotel throughout the evening and many of the dead man's friends were admitted to the death chamber. Tho last intelligible words spoken by Senator Hanna were pathetic In his attempt to maintain to the last the which was characteristic of hia life. Yesterday morning he moved his head slightly and his eyes a little. The nurse asked If he was looking for bis handkerchief. I think my wife has my handker-cbier,-" the Senator whispered. Tbe members of the family when told of the remark a once recognised it as one of his favorite rejoinders In good natured plaguing in which Mr. and Mrs. Hanna often indulged. It was the Senator's custom when . he missed any personal article, especially his handkerchief, to say:. I expect my wife has It. At about 11 o'clock yesterday the Senator became unconscious and the patient did not seem to know what was going on about him. When it was known that there was no chance for recovery arrangements were made to have a death mask taken by Sculptor U. 8. J. Dunbar, and It was done early this evening. The east will be perfect and, strange aa it may seem, will show the face in its usual fulness. Tbe Senatora face shows little emaciation and owing to the constant use of oxygen, had taken on what appeared to be a coat of tan, which gave it almost a life-lik-e appearance. bn-m- ' Bill RECIIUtti RESUMED SHIPPING an Error in Hia Former Teatimony..

Washington. Feb. 15. Voluntarily relinquishing bis scut aa a member ot the House of Representatives, Mr. Sbafrotk, of the First district of Colorado, furnished a profound sensation during the forty minutes' session today. The manly and earnest words ot the Colorado member fairly took the breath of the House as he proceeded to put the first case ou record in that body where a member gave up his scat, acknowledging that his election had been tainted by fraud. For this fraud Mr. 8a froth declared he was tn 'no way resimnsible, nor was he aware that it had been penetrated until ihe evidence had been adduced liefom the elections committee of th House. U was not done, he said further, for the pul kikc of causing his election. As he announced the conclusion ot eight years' service in this manner, most unsatisfactory to hlntself, his voice betokened the emotion he felt. The hush which spread over the floor and galleries when Ihe purisirt of bis remarks was realize became almost painful. But when he sat down, with words of thanks on his lips fur the treatment he bad Received from his colleagues on lmth sides of the chamber. applause burst forth and continued long and heartily. The Democratic members arose almost en masse and extended personal expressions of sym pathy and encouragement. Air. Olmsted, chairman of the committee In charge of the contest, recognized the unusual position Mr. Hhaf-rothad taken. He said the investigation by his committee exonerated Mr. Shafroth from any connection in the irregularities which had. been shown. The stand taken, ho said, was a most manly and courageous one. The committee had taken no action toward formulating its report to the House on and. the surprising ialita-tiv- e taken by Mr. Shafroth as has been explained by him 'was batted on tho showing made by the handwriting expert employed to examine the ballots. Following the suggestion of Mr. Shafroth in his speech to the House. Mr. Olmsted hastily drew up the proper resolution for his unseating, and the seating of Mr. Boynlnge and this was agreed to with silent assent, whereupon the blouse adjourned.
