STATESMEN AT THE HOTELS.

STATESMEN AT THE HOTELS.
Men of Country-Wide Fame Arrive
to Attend the Funeral Today.
Men prominent in all walks of life and
| from all parts of the country Kept arriv-
ing in this city yesterday and are increas-
| ing in numbers today, to witness the SAD
ceremonies attendant upon the lying in
state at the Capitol of the body of the
| later President. Governors representing
nearly every State and Territory, Sena-
| tors, Representatives, judges, and prom
.nent Government officials from every
| executive department have hurried on to
| this city to do homage to the martyr
| Chief Magistrate. The city is assuming
an aspect of activity and life unusual at
this season of the year, and the hotel
corridors have taken on an appearance of
animation very similar to Washington life
during the Congressional season.
But there is a marked difference be-
tween the activity which prevails at the
Washington hostelries during the winter
season and the hustle which has been so
suddenly and unexpectedly transferred to
the Capital of the nation. An air of de-
preston and sorrow seems to prevail, and
instead of animated discussions of legisla-
tive measures or social functions the ex-
elusive topic of today in the hotel corri-
dors is the untimely death of the Presi-
dent, the condition of his grief-stricken
wife, and general expression of conf
dence in President Roosevelt
