WASHINGTON, Jan. I9-In the senate to-
day Senator Coke introduced bill 20 estab-
hsh and regulate the quarantine of the live
stock trail and to regulate commerce between
the states as to live stock Referred.
At the conclusion of the morning business
Senator Aldrich offered the following:
Resolved, That the senate has heard with
profound regret of the death of Henry B.
Anthony, late senator from Rhode Island.
Resolved, That the business Of the senate
be now suspended TO enable his associates to
pay proper tribute of regard 10 his high char
acter and distinguished public services.
Senator Aldrich said that suffring as he
was, from sense of personal loss which was
beyond expression, he despaired Of his ability
10 pay an adequate tribute to the memory Of
Senator Anthony. He implanted and nu-
tured in the hearts Of the sons of Rhode
Island patriotic spirit that would continue
To bear fruit in perpetual remembrance Of
his example.
Mr.. Edmunds referred most touchingly to
the personal affection existing between him
self and the dead senator, and expressed the
hope that in the years to come all our sena-
tors might have the fidelity and devotion 10
duty displayed by his late friend.
Senator Bayard said in the death of Sen
ator Anthony the United States had lost a
most experienced aud respected public SER
want, the state Of Rhode Island a distin-
guished and faithful representative, and
every member Of the senate a genial and
well beloved friend.
Senator Pendleton characterized the de-
ceased senator as the most genial and cult
waited gentleman whose devotion TO duty
and party fealty always had been accom-
panied by susvity and candor. His aims had
been lofty, his methods honorable and his
heart true and clean. II was Pendleton' g
belief that Senator Anthony had never will
ingly wounded the feelings Of any human
being. He had been man Of great natural
dignity, lover Of his senatorial duties and
''facile princepes'' in all matters Of pro-
prietg-
Senator Garland said the senate and
country may well deplore the loss of such a
man as Senator Anthony. He had been a
CONSPICUOUS example. A man who believed
our conduct IN life should be without parade
Or ostentation.
Senator ingalls, said the period covered by
Anthony's service In the senate bad been
one Of momentous importance in the history
Of the nation. It included the period Of the
civil war. ''There were giants in those
DAYS" and when the Macaulev OF another
age should turn to rehearse our history. be
would find little in our recorded annals to
explain the remarkable and long continued
prominence OF Senator Anthony in the coun-
try or extraordinary influence be had eXer-
cised over all his contem poraries. 1t might
we'll be wondered that he so seldom
spoke who spoke so well, but no
printed page could record the gentle and be-
nigpant courtesy that had shone in his de-
meanor and lent an irresistible charm 10 his
department. lie had been a minister OF
grace. He had never made an enemy nor
lost friend. No heat Of controversy could
disturb him, nor could any rancour Of parti-
sanship provoke him into retaliation uuwor-
thy Christian and a gentleman. His entire
career bad been felicitous; fate had spared
him its irony; Nemesis had been propltiated
fortune had favored him; calumny and de-
traction had passed him by. There had been
no winter in his years, anu he had length Of
days without iuirmitles; he had honor, love,
friendship atlluence; his life had not been
fragmentary and unfinished, but full, round
and complete For him death had not been
an interruption, but climax.
Senator Henderson said Anthony's life had
been open as day. He had known no con-
cealments. and had true mans hatred Of
Ehams.
Other addresses in eulogy of the deceased
senator were made by Mcssrs. Morrill,. Hoar,
Hawley, Butler and Sheffield. The latter sec
ondcd a resolution offered by Senator AL
drch, aud it was adopted and the senate ad-
lourned.
