Shortly after both bodies had adjourned over for
the day kilograms we're received announcing Sen

THE LYING IN STATE OF THE REMAINS.
An informal conference was had by the Mayor
and number OF the Aldermen this afternoon, rel
alive to the course to be pursued by the city upon
the death OF Senator Sumner. AS he had no family
residence In the State but made Boston his abid-
ing place while away from Washington, 1t was
thought that 1t would be right and proper to de.
poslt the remains in Faneuil Hall and to allow
them to remain In state at least two days.

strongly manifested. In the deaths OF EXPIRES

coming morrow the public will take full
notice OF the death. Leaving. as this now
does a vacancy in the Senate, and
especially with the recent political strife Just
closed for prominent Offices In Massac husetts by
those in power at Washington, many have already
been the surmses as to the probable successor OF
Charles Sumner; out, be he who he may, to secure
again such traits OF pure character honesty pur-
