The ceremony began shortly after 12
o'clock, but the gallery doors were
thrown open long before that hour and
py IL o'clock fully half the gallery seats
were occupied, mostly by ladies. The
casket was borne into the chamber by
squad of Capitol police headed by
Sergeant-at-Arms Randell of the Sen

the official committee, with Senator
Foraker and General Grosvenor at
its head. Slowly the little procession
moved down the main aisle of the
chamber and the casket was tenderly
placed upon the catafalque.
The hall was banked with flowers
which had been sent in great profusion
by friends. There was a large wreath /
Of orchids surrounding a cross of vio-

wreath of orchids, carnations roses
OF Ohio another almost as large, and |
the Gridiron Club of this city another, |
which was of striking beauty.

pore, stood in front of his chair as the /
body was borne to its resting place. /
All the people in the galleries rose as
if with one impulse as the casket was
borne to its place. The pail bearers
had scarcely retired, when the Senate
was called to order and the Senators
who had entered took their seats upon
the fall of the gavel of the President

and the members of that body filed |
slowly in, taking the seats previously |
assigned to them, the Senators and Wis
itors in the galleries rising.
