1SHAM G. HARRIS,
Aged 70 Years.

At the head of the casket, and re-
posing in part on the desk of the sem
ate officers, was the floral tribute Of
the senators. 1t was of smilax leaves
and sage palms and bride roses made
as wreath, out of which three white
doves with outstretched wings as
cended.
At 10 o'clock Rev. Hugh Johnston,
acting chaplain of the senate, deliv-
cred the invocation which referred to
the long and valuable service of Sen
ator Harris, his sturdiness of purpose
and unfaiiing rectitude.
The services were brief and simple,
consisting only of prayers by Rev. Mr..
Johnston, Rev. DR.. Duffy, of the Meth
odist Episcopal church south, and
Chaplain Coudcn, of the house of rep
resentatives, the latter pronouncing
the benediction.
At 1880 p. m. the ceremony was
over, and Oh motion of Senator Bate,
OF Tennessee, the senate adjourned.
Without formality President McKin-
ley and the other officers retired from
the chamber. The casket remained in
the chamber with the honorary guard
about it, the doors to the floor and gall
leries being closed after one o'clock.
The casket remained in the senate un-
til nine o'clock Saturday night, when

decline to admit the Turkish preten-

view of the disturbed conditions ex-
listing in Crete, Turkey send reinforce
