 Senator Hawley spoke in eulogy of the dead general, as did Me SITS. Henderson, Davis, Evorts and Morgan. The latter said in part "rhe fidelity of this great general who has departed was the true and simple faith of an American true to his convictions of duty. We differed with him and contested campaigns and battle-felds with him; but we welcome the history of the great soldier as a proud inheritance of our country. The great military leaders on both sides of our civil war are rapidly march ing across the border to the land where history and truth and justice must decide upon every mans career. When a line so narrow divides us and when so many millions now living and millions to follow are to be affected by the wisdom of our enactments, we will do well to give up this day to reflection upon our duties and, in sympathy with this great country, to dedi- cate the day to his memory. In such retrospect we shall find an admonition that an Amer- can Senate shall meet on this side of the fatal line of death, as the American Gen erals meet on the other side, to render justice to each other and to make our beloved country as happy, compara- lively, as we could wish the great be- yond to be to those great spirits" The resolutions were then adopted unani- mously, the presiding officer requested to appoint committee of five to attend the funeral and the Senate adjourned.
