Washington, Jan. 10.-The senate
paid eloquent tribute of respect and
affection to the memory of the late
Vice President Garrett n. Hobart.
Frye laid before the senate the re-
port of Secretary of the Treasury Gage
as TO the repositories of internal rev.
enue funds in various national banks.
1t was referred to the finance commit
tee and ordered printed. Sewall then
called up the resolutions he had previ-
ously offered, providing that the bust
ness of the senate be suspended, in or
der that the distinguished public serv-
ices and private character of Mr.. Ho-
bart might be fittingly commemorated.
Sewall paid n feeling tribute to the
memory of the late vice president,
with whom his personal relations COW
cred a period extending from early
manhood. He spoke of events in the
late vice presidents private and Off
cial career, and of the characteristics
which had endeared him to the people
with whom he had come in contact.
Remarks of Seweu.
He said in part: "Mr. Hobart was
removed from his earthly career at an
age when the magnificent status Of his
manhood was reaching its prime; when
the grand elements Of his character
were ripening to their full develop
ment; when his great usefulness to
the nation was becoming more and
more apparent. His public duties were
marked by zeal and devotion to the in
terests of the people. The general
welfare rather than the conserving OF
private interests engaged his time and
attention. The performance Of his du-
ties as president OF the senate has
ever evoked the favorable criticism Of
the members Of this body, and the
business and fairness of his rulings
have elected their warmest commenda-
ton. The character of Mr.. Hobart
was as the open day-neither darkness
nor shadow rested upon it. The les
sons of life, whose pleasant remem-
brances rob even death of sadness, let
us treasure and may they prove a
stimulating influence in the conduct
OF our own"
Nobly Rounded Career.
Chauncey M. Depew said In part:
"Mr. Hobart won the warm affection
of his party associates and the esteem
and respect of his party antagonists.
He had the faculty of the wisely busy
man of always having plenty Of time,
and that he shared with his friends
in that hearty and healthy companion
ship which has made his name a hos
pitable memory at the Capitol Though
he died in his prime, with apparently
years of usefulness before him, yet his
was a full and rich life and q nObly
rounded career. 1t is fitting that such
a man should fall in battle with his
armOr on. The conspicuousness of his
departure gives lustre to his example.
Statesmen, citizen. husband, father,
friend the sum of his worth among
us is that he performed. with faith
fulness and fidelity, with conscientious
care and magnetic ardor. all the du-
ties Of public and private life"
EulOgistic speeches were also made
by other members of the senate.
