EX-GOVERNOR BURLeiGH
Pays Feeling Tribute 10 Ms Late Colleague
ia Congress.

A Washington special to the Lewis
ton Journal says:
Representative Burleigh in speaking
of his late colleague, Saturday. said:
THE death of Mr.. Dingley is an IRE
parable loss, not only to his own State
but to the whole country. He was a
broad gagged stateman. No man in
Congress approached him in range of
accurate information upon the great
public questions of the day.
He was a clean, able, progressive
man, fine type of the true Christian
gentleman. In my short service in
Congress l have often been to him for
counsel and advice and have been con-
stantly indebted to him for many kind
ly acts. He was a man Of untiring in
dustry. with an almost phenomenal ca
pacity for hard work and yet he was
never too busy to maintain thought
full interest in those about him.
ut is not an easy matter to analyze
a character like Mr.. Dingleys He was
a many sided man. The whole coun-
try feels sense of his loss. To the
members of his delegation his death
comes with the force of a personal be-
reavement.

Washington, Jan. 15.--Speaker Reed
said of the death of Mr. Dingley:
IL have never known the sense of loss
to be more universal than in the case of
Gov. Dingley. His death comes at a time
when the need of his services will be
most keenly felt. Not only have we lost
his knowledge, but we cannot at once
create in any one else the confidence
which we had in him.
Mr.. Dingley had rendered conspicuous
public service in his own State before he
came to Washington and his success
here was no surprise to us. His habits
Of labor and his untiring industry gave
him the greatest command over the sub
jects to which ne devoted his attention.

said something and wasted no time in
saying il, accorded to him the high COM

that his services need not be specified. He
was public servant equal to all his du-
ties. who won the respect and esteem not
only of his associates but of the whole
country.

Washington, Jan. 15.-(SpeciaD.--D
tailed preparations We're completed, to-
day. for the state funeral of Repre-
sentative Nelson Dingley to be held.
tomorrow at noon. All the seats in the
galleries of the House have been re-
served for those holding tickets from
representatives and senators. The only
space not SO reserved are the press, eX-
ecutive and diplomatic galleries, s.,
that there will be no place for the gen
eral public. who will. however, be al
lowed to view the remains ON the floor
of the House between 10 and II O'Clock.
Mr.. Frank Dingley of Lewiston. a
brother of the late representative. and
his son arrived here, today, and regis
tered at the Hamilton. He received a
tender. today, from the managers d:
the Boston & Maine and the Maine
Central Railroads Of special trains for
the conveyance Of the remains and the
accompanying of the funeral party
from Boston to Lewiston. The kind
offer was referred to the sergeant-at-
arms, Mr.. Russell, who will inform the
railroad managers of the time that the
cortege will arrive in Boston.
The floral gifts in Mr.. Dingley's
memory have been profuse and very
beautiful. Scores OF them We're re-
ceived, today. at the Hamilton, and the
family have been comprised of several
magnificent set pieces which will be
sent to the hotel and the Capitol. to-
morrow.
Senator Frye. who was named as one
of the Senate committee to accompany
the remains to Lewiston. will probably
not be able to take the journey as ne
has been i'll in bed for two days and
although his condition is in no way
alarming he was visited by DR.. Sow
ers, To-Day. He is about his room but
has not been able to go out of doors.
Senator Faulker of West Virginia,
and Senator Fairbanks of Indiana, al
so named on the Senate committee be-
cause of their association with Mr..
Dingley on the Anglo American COM
mission, will be unable to go to Maine
because of the great pressure of bust
ness before the committee.
Capt. Boutelle is also doubtful as to
whether he can accompany the remains
to Maine. The committee on naval at
fairs of which he is chairman, is IN the
midst of the work on the naval appro-
pria ton bill which must be reported
in the House al an early day.
