WASHINGTON, d. c. tSpeciall. A
State funeral, almost majestic in its
lmpressivsness. was given the late
Representative Nelson Dingley, at
noon Monday, in the House Of Rep
resentatives, where he SO long had
been such q commanding figure. The
President. his cabinet, distinguished
men from the diplomatic corps,
members of the Supreme Court,
Senate and House, and distinguished
men III military and civil life. were
ranged about his bier on the floor of
the hall, while the galleries, to which
admission could be obtained only bv
card, were occupied by the families Of
those who sat upon the floor and other
prominent personases invited to be
present. Some of them, like q delega-
ton from the New York chamber Of
commerce, had come from a distance to
pay their last tribute Of respect TO the
dead statesman. The casket was placed
on bier In the area in front OF the lar
BILE rostrum of the Speaker, and for an
hour the public, which would have no
opportunity to witness the official cere-
monies later. was allowed to view the
remains as they lay in state. Thous-
ands of people streamed through the
main door past the casket aud gaZed
upon the calm. serene features of the
dead during that hour. Some could,
with difficulty, be induced to move
away from the casket The decora.
tions of the hall were simple, but
strikingly beautiful. and there was
profusion of flowers. The services
were conducted by the Rev s. NJ.
Newman, of the First Congregational
church, of this city, assisted by Rev.
DIR. CoudeE. chaplain of the House.
1t was very simple service. DIR.
Newman's eulogy of the dead states
man was touching and beautiful.
When Rev. Mr. Newman delivered the
Oened1ction, the entire assemblare
arose, the gallaries as we'll as those on
the floor. President Mckinley, in pass
ing out, paused while he gazed sadly
at the features of his dead friend.
