washington. Feb. 1s.-Formal am nouncement of the death of Senator Han ma was made in the Senate today inl- mediateiy after the opening prayer. and all the brief proceedings of the day per tained to its announcement. The duty of making the official statement of the sena- tors death fell on Mir. Foraker. as Mir. Tianna's colleague.
 Most of the late Senator's colleagues were in their seats before the Senate was called to order. and their faces bore wit nesses of the sorrow which ali felt. The galleries. too. were crowded, and through out the entire assembly there was an evidence of depression scarcely less marked than that which perveded the Senate itself.
 The opening prayer was delivered by the Senate chaplain, pr. Edward Ever cit Hale
 On motion of MT. Aidrich the formal ity of reading tho Journal of the preced- ing day was omitted. and Mfr. Foraker was recognized to make his announce ment. He spoke only few words from manuscript.
 Senator Foraker's Remarks.
 Senator Foralzer said:
 s,Mr. President have painful duty to perform. It is that of making for mai announcement of the death of my late colleague. Marcus A. Hanna. ae departed from this life In this city at the Arlington Hotel. where he had been residing during this session of the Een- . aS an day. surrounded by his family and in- tinate friends.
 eTha event was not unexpected ct the time 1t occurred. For months past is has bean evident to all who were aee0- ciated with him that he was ln failing health. He was urgently ana r6paafea HIy advised to deHlst from his fAbors and make epecial effort to resist his mala- dies, but his strong will power. hope fuI nature and fidelity to duty were such that he disregarded all such suggestions and continued at his post until three weeks ago. when he was prostrateds by typhoid fever.
 Alarm Over Illness.
 His friends then became justly alarm ed. That alarm spread throughout tEe country, and in response to unusual manifestations of public sympathy his physicians bulletined his condition daily, and finally almost hourly.
 "As the days passed he failed until all recognized that the inevitable hour was approachipg. Thus it was that the end did not come as a surprise, but the re- gret it had occasioned appears to be more profound and universal on that account. {,
 He is mourned by all his countrymen by his political associates not alone be- cause he was their great organizing lead Av rnyt.r1 tnSa roA but also and more especially. because he had gained their affections and reigned in their hearts as favorite; by his poIitica. opponents because they are chivalrous and generous enough to experience sor- row when a brave man fell, though he be of the opposition, and because they recogs nized in him bold and fearless foeman, who commanded their respect and excit- ed their admiration.
 "In the Senate, where he was so long a distinguished member. he was best known and most appreciated.
 ''It is unnecessary to speak in this pres enee of the great loss his death has occa- stoned to his party. his State and the na- tion. All know 1t better than any Ian" guage can express it.
 MT. President, this Is not the time for extended eulogy. Later I shall ask the Senate to appoint day when all his col- leagues can join with me in paying 1t. ting tribute to his life, character and pubs He services.
 For the present content myself with offering the following resolutions, for which ask present consideration.
