 Cleveland. Feb. 1s.-This city has truly been one of mourning to-day. The body of Senator Marcus A. Hanna now lies in state upon shrouded catafalque in the auditorium of the Chamber of Commerce. where it was taken imme- diately upon ith arrival here from Washington.
 Surrounded by veritable garden of flowers and guarded by a detail of sol- diers from the satate militia, the city of Cleveland now claims its own distin- guished dead. From 1880 this afternoon to 9:3O o'clock tonight, fully 3o,000 peo- ple passed the flower covered casket and took last look upon the face of the dead statesman.
 With snow blowing in their faces aercely and a cold wind chilling them through amid through, thousands of people stood for hours in a. double line stretching for more than five squares waiting for an opportunity to pass into the building where lay the remains. Although the crowd was passing into the auditorium at the rate of more than sixty a minute, the line grew rap- idly and when at 9:S0 o'clock the doors were closed for the night, there was still several thousand who were compelled to return home disappointed.
 Troop A met the train bearing the body of Senator Hanna. A driving snowstorIn was on. When the casket had been placed in the funeral car and the members Of the committee and friends had been assigned carriages, the cortege headed by platoon of police and followed by Troop A on black horses. moved for the Chamber of Commerce building, where the body will lie in state until Friday noon.
 All along the line of march the rev. erence. respect and love felt for the dead senator was shown. Men stood with barred heads in an almost blinding snowstorrn while the cortege passed, and many eyes were filled with tears, A bugle announced the arrival of the cortege at the entrance of the chamber and the battalion of engineers, which lined the entrance and exits to the chamber was drawn up to 'attentiony
 Slowly and solemnly the casket was borne through the ranks of the soldiers and placed upon the bier. In the en- trance to the hall the pallbearers with their burden took the lead. They were Followed by the members of Governor $ tsff. if and were the citizens committee of the chamber and exchange. moment later the top of the casket was removed and the face Of the dead senator ex- posed to the gaze of those friends who knew him best.
 l.. c. Hanna, the brother of the sena- tor was among the first to look upon the dead. With head barred and bowed he stood for fully two minutes gazing steadfastly with tear dimnaed eyes upon the features of his brother
 Governor Herrick and the members of his staff then passed before the casket. and aster them the members of the special committees, all of whom had been close friends of the senator.
 The chamber auditorium. where the body now lies in state, is most appro- priately set for the occasion. From the sour large chandeliers there is a huge canoppy of black. From a, black and white rosette in the center four stream CTS extending to the corners of the canopy around the entire hall. Near the ceiling is hung wide black bor- der. From this at frequent intervals, starting with black and white rosette are hung black and white streanners reaching to the floor. Beneath the can- opy stands the catafaluue upon which rested the remains of President Me- Kinley, at Canton. As lifelong friends and companions 1t was thought fitting that the same bier should be used for Senator Hanna that did service for President 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 and were removed in three wagons to the Chamber of Commerce. Here already were tributes in rich profusion from societies and friends in Senator
  Hanna's home city.
 Two great tables in the eastern ex- tremity of the hall are piled high with costly tributes, and both the platform and the stage are bowers of floral benu- ty.
