 The Funeral Today.

Cleveland. Ohio, Feb. 1S.-The mortal now lie in state upon shrouded cat afalque in the auditorium of the Chamber of Commerce, where they were taken immediately upon their arr rival here from Washington today. The catafalque is surrounded by veritable garden of flowers and guarded by Getail of soldiers from the state mili- tia. From I 30 this afternoon to p:30 tonight night fully 30.00o people passed the flower covered casket and took a last look upon the features of the dead statesman.
 With snow blowing fiercely in their faces and cold wind chilling them through, thousands upon thousands of people stood for hours in double line stretching for smore than five squares, waiting an opportunity to pass into the building where lay the remains. AL though the crowd was passing into the auditorium at the rate of more than sixty a minute the line grew rapidly and when at g: 80 the doors were closed for the night there were several thous- and persons who had waited patiently but were compelled to return home d's- appointed.
 The chamber auditorium, where the body lies in state, is appropriately set for the occasion. From four large ! chandeliers there is a huge canopy of black From black and white rosette m the center four white streamers ex- tend to the corners of the canopy and entirely around the hall. Near the ceil- ing is hung a wide black border. From | 4I,s1 with a black and white rosette, are hung black and white streamers, reach | ing to the floor. Beneath the canopy l stands the catafalque upon which rest ! ed the body of President Mckinley at Canton. As lifelong friends and com | panions, it was thought fitting that the same bier should be used for Sena- | tor Hanna that did service for Presi- dent Mckinley.
 The floral tributes were. the most elaborate since the funeral of the late | President Mckinley. A whole carload of offerings from Washington officials and friends accompanied the funeral train. They include beautiful wreath from President Roosevelt. Here al- ready were tributes in rich profusion from societies and friends in Senator Hanna's own city.
 A great wreath, fully five feet in di- ameter, presented by the office cm- ployees of the NJ. A. Hanna company, is an imposing piece, while large white letters, likewise constructed of flowers, | addressed to "M. A. Hanna" and bear ing the postmark, Washington, D. C., $40 D. nl., February 15. 1904" occupies 1 a prominent place on the platform back of the bier. This was the offer ing of the postal clerks of Cleveland Of the entireHollection, one of the most strikingly beautiful was broken flor al column, tribute from the Union National bank. of this city, of which Senator Hanna was president. This piece stands six feet high and is built entirely of pink carnations, with base of ferns and vines. It IS placed at the head of the casket. Hundreds of small CT pieces have been received from clubs and individuals, both in Cleve- land and from abroad
