Both Houses Meet In Sorrow and Pay Tri-
butte to Hanna.
Washington, Feb. IL. = The senate
had a full attendance and a cloud of
sorrow hung over the chamber. The
galleries were crowded and the de
preston everywhere was marked. The
senate chaplain referred eloquently to
The death of Senator Hanna and when
The prayer was done Foraker arose and
presented appropriate resolutions on
the death of the Ohio member, and
providing for a delegation of senators
to attend the funeral. Foraker's re-
marks upon presenting the resolutions
were eloquent, and his emotion was
manifest.
The committee provided for in the
resolution was appointed by the chair
as follows: Senator Foraker, Allison,
Aldrich, Hale. Platt of Connecticut,
Frye. Spooner. Perkins. Wetmore,
Fansbrough, Warren, Fairbanks, Be-
pew. Kean, Scott, Beveridge, Alger,
Kittredge, German, Cockrell Teller,
Bacon, Martin, Blackburn and Nc
Emery.
In the house there was also an un-
usually large attendance, and during
the chaplain's prayer the members as
one man arose and remained standing
until its close. Twenty minutes recess
was taken shortly afterward and up
on reassembling senate clerk brought
in the resolutions adopted by the SEN
ate. Grosvenor was recognized to Of
fer similar resolutions. which were
unanimously adopted. ard the speaker
named the following committee to at
tend Senator Hanna : funeral: The
entire Ohio delegatiol and Burkett OF
Nebra ska, Lucking of Michigan, Dal-
Zell of Pennsylvania Watson of Indi-
ana. Burke of South Dakota, Currier
Of New Hampshire. Sherman Of New
York. Rodenburg of Illinois. McCeary
of Minnesota, and Wiley of Alabama.
A pathetic incident attended the
reading of the resolutions. Z. L. Lamp
son. the reading clerk. formerly 4
speaker of the house of representatives
of the state of Ohio, and ex-lieutenanr
governor of that state, read the reso-
lutions. His voice choked his hands
trembled and at times it was wiz
difficulty that he proceeded with the
reading. 1t was only by great effort
that he performed the task Il was
with still greater difficulty that he
read the committee list appointed by
the speaker. When Lampsop' pro-
nounced the last name on the list he
sank back i'm his chair His emotion
overcame him and he wept.

The last ineligible words spoken by
Senator Hanna were pathetic in. his

Oxygen Used Continuously = Rally As.
tounds the Attending Physicians
But the fight was by no means won.
Although the afternoon relapse had
been rallied from it had left !, badly
weakened frame for future battles.
The restoratiyes were continued and
the senator dozed again into a stnpor.
Asked as to the future outlook DR..
Carter replied: I'VE can only work
and hope.''
The first bulletin Of the evening was
issued at 6 p. m, and was as follows:
Senator Hanna was not so well this
afternoon. but he has rallied. His pulse
is now 100; respiration, 40; tempera-
ture, 1885," A statement was made
accompanying the p. IN. bulletin that
the rally was due to injections of
brandy and water under the skin. The
physicians used oxygen continuously
throughout the afternoon. The rally
from third sinking spell was so un-
usual that the physicians themselves
were astounded. They said they be-
lieved it due largely to the patients
wonderful efforts to aid in their heroic
measures.
1t was stated that the recurrence of
the sinking spells does not imply that
these will continue, and that simply
because Of the previous depressions
there is no reason to look for another
drain of like character on his vitality.
At the same time the doctors hardly
knew just what to expect. Neither
could 1t be said, it was added, when
| the climax Of the fever would be
reached. The o'clock bulletin showed
no improvement in the senator's condi-
| ton. Some milk and whisky were ad-
ministered at $50 p. M, and shortly
| thereafter the patient was given an
other bath. but it caused no reduction
| In the temperature.
For an hour after the bath Senator
Hanna dozed and was resting comfort
ably. More nourishment was given at
p. m. Throughout the evening the
doctors gave oxygen for couple of
minutes at intervals Of half an hour.
1t was apparsnt at $50 that an IN
usual gloom pervaded the hotel. All
hope had been abandoned, and any
improvement in the senator's condition

railroad. The sea there is covered
with ice for a distance of fourteen
miles from the shore, and this would
make landing extremely difficult. No

Too Weak to Retain Food.
The senator passed the day prac-
tically without nourishment of any
kind, being too weak to retain it. The
household had become resigned to the
inevitable outcome, and sadly waited
the final summons. Elmer Dover, the
senator's secretary, when he left the
sick room at $50 p. M, said there was
then perceptible decrease Of strength
over the hour before, and that life
was fading very fast. The patients
