MORGAN AND CLARK.
Mr.. Morgan, for many years associated
with Mr.. Davis on the committee on for
eIgn relations. followed Mr. Hoar. Mr.
Morgan said the best indications Of the
feeling entertained by his associates toward
zr. Davis was shown in that the simple
verbs OF recognition OF him on the floor
never failed 10 attract the attention OF
every senator. Were he here to-day. he
said. the Senate would feel stronger. The
matters now being considered had arisen
largely from. the effects of the measures In
which NJ. Davis was interested and for
which be had earnestly worked. Mr.. Nor
gan said IL was by earnest and consistent
endeavor that Senator Davis strove TO
serve his country. sinking his personality
chairman OF the committee on foreign rela-
tons that he found the best field for his
LAlentS IN the SerHlce OF the country. Ills
accomplishments made him peculiarly fitted
Tor the labor, and he soon took such rank
that his opinions were followed by the Sen
ate His part IN the framing of the Paris
treaty was traced, and great credit for all
the achievements there was given TO the
late senator.
Mr. Clark. also an associate IN committee
work with Dir. Davis, devoted much OF his
address to q review OF the studiOuS life
lee by the late senator and the rare fund
Of knowledge which he had CLEANED. The
APPROVAL of bench and bar Were the most
hitting testimonial 10 his capacity as a
lawyer. As TO his services in connection
with recent events. il was said that he was
more the guide than the chairman, for his
knowledge easily made him first Of that

LODGES ELOQUENCE.
Mr.. Lodge. of Massachusetts,, analysed
the character of Mr.. Davis as from close
personal friendship, and said the late SEN
ator was not fully appreciated as a public
man This he ACCOUNTED for by reason
of the tendency to belittle great men of
to-day because without thought and trou-
bic they cannot be brought for Judgment
into proper perspective with the past and
because OF the modesty which made him
shrink from speaking in public except when
IL was a duty or a necessity.
Mr. Lodge summed up as follows: I'm
ali that ne did in shaping our policy he was
Eciped by his knowledge and his studies,

nation which enabled him TO project his
vision into the future. But that which was
his sureSt guide was a sentiment embodied
IN a profound patriotism and an intense
Americanism. 1 do not mean that he was
peculiarly American because he held GER
tain opinions on certain public questions,
or that he was more patriotic than others
who differed with him radically upon those
same questions. What / mean is that he
had a faith in his people and their destiny
which nothing could shake, and that he
never had a shadow OF doubt or diStruSI
as TO their ability TO meet any respon-
sibility and any question bravely, justly
and VIGOROUSLY. He had proved his patri-
otism, like many other brave men, on the
field OF battle, and he hardly ever referred

thing connected with its history with him
was q passion His thoughts were always
upon the great questions now before the
United States. and in the last hours his
country and her fortunes were uppermost

cessfully and well. He will find his place
and his reward in the pages of history

DANIEL, SPOONER AND OTHERS.
TT. Daniel paid a high tribute to the legal
attainments. saying that, whether in the
lower courts or in the international tribun-
ais, he would have been the peer of any
antagonist against whom he might have
been pitted. Learned and interchangeable, his

mated the best epitome OF that subject in
existence. Turning TO the eloquence of his
late colleague, Mr.. Daniel read many pass
ages from the Gettysburg address of three
years ago, and said IL was as noble as the
men in whose memory IL was delivered.
Closing. Mr.. Daniels said a flower he would
lay upon the tomb OF his friend was that
In his heart was always love OF his country
and OF his fellows. :
