EX-Speaker Randall stated Mr.. Kasson and
himself had long conversation with Secre-
tary Blaine and Senator Edmunds, and il was
thought impossible for members of the senate
and house, who desired to go to Cleveland, to
proceed on the train bearing the remains of
PRESIDENT Garfield. 1t had been suggested,
however, by Senator Edmunds, that each house
should appoint q committee to escort the BODY
to Cleveland, and that the other members
should follow on special train. Mr..
Kasson stated Gen. Sherman had sug-
gested no larger escort should be appointed
by the house and senate than could be ac-
cOmmOnated by one car. A committee con-
sisting of Randall, Kasson and Townsend,
was appointed to meet similar committee of
the senate to determine what action should be
taken in the premises. On return to the
chamber the committee reported it had been
agreed committee of eight members be ap-
pointed by each house to escort the remains
Ito Cleveland and that special train should be
chartered to convey the other sen
\ators and members to that place
and that ex-presidents Grant and
Hayes should be invited to accompany them.
On motion of Mr.. Randall a similar invitation
was extended to eX-Speaker Banks and then
the report was agreed to. 1t was further de-
termined members of the house should meet
in the hall OF the house tomorrow at 2 p. m.
and attend tire funeral. There will be space
in the rotunda etapart for their accommoda-
tion and the sergeant at arms was instructed
to furnish each member with symbols of
mourning. By action of the meeting Mr..
Tucker was appointed chairman of the escort
ing committee. The other members are Kas-
son, Randall, Hiscock, Wilson, Thomas,
Townsend and Shelley.
A meeting of members of the senate was
held in the presidents room, Senator Anthony
presiding. The following senator's were pres
ent Anthony, Hale, Dawes, Edmunds, Mer-
rill, Salisbury. Bayard, Kellogg, Davis, wv.
Va.,) Camden, Sherman, Mcmillan, Garland.
Pugh, Morgan, Jones, (Nev.,) Blair, Mitchell,
and also ex-senator Hamlin. The committee
OF the conference reported that in conferring
with the house committee it was deemed best
to charter special train for senator's and mem
bers, and such guests as they shonld invite.
which report was accepted, and the sergeant
alarms was instructed to make the necessary
arrangements. 1t was decided to postpone the
adoption of resolutions on the death of the
president until the meeting of the senate in
regular session. The chairman then announced
the following as the committee on the part of
the senate to accompany the remains: Senator's
