SENATE.

a bill to establish and regu-
ate aquarantine live stock trail and to
egulate commerce between states as to
i've stock. Referred.
AT the conclusion of the morning bus
ness
MIR. ALDRICH offered the following.
Resolved, That the senate has heard |
with profound sorrow OF the death OF |
Henry b. Anthony, late senator from
Rhode Island.
Resolved, That the business of the
senate be now suspended to enable |
proper tribute of '"' regard
to his high character and distinguished
public service.
Mr.. ALDRICH said that suffering as
he was, from a sense of personal loss,
which was beyond expression, he des-
paired of his ability to pay adequate
tribute to the memory of Senator An
thony. He implanted and nurtured in
the hearts OF the sons of Rhode Island
patriotic spirit that would continue to
bear fruit in perpetual remembrance of
his example. Mr.. Aldrich referred
most touchingly to the personal atfec-
ton between himself and the dead sem
ator, and expressed the hope that
in years to come all our
senators might have the fidelity and de-
votion to duty displayed by his late
friend and associate.
Mr.. BAYARD said that in the death
of Senator Anthony the United States
had lost a most experienced and re-
spected public servant, the state of
Rhode Island, most distinguished
and faithful representative, and every
member of the senate u genial well be-
loved friend.
Masara pandleton Garland

latter seconded the resolutions offered
by Mr.. Aldrch, which were adopted
and the senate adjourned.
