 The funeral services over the remains of f5the late senator in the senate cham ber at Washington, the scene of his most recent activities and of his entire official life, was imposing and quite in { harmony with the public estimate of the great mans service to his country and the world. The ceremony was dig { nifed and simple, in consonance with his character. The senate chamber lent itself naturally to the occasion. It was practically barren of decoration, and the dark furniture, heavy walls .and subdued light were quite in keeping with the sorrowfUl proceedings which were the occasion of the gathering
 Seldom has more distinguished body of people been collected in Wash fngton. The floor of the chamber was filled with the representatives of the official life of the national capital, the galleries with people from all the high ar walks of society.
 Tn the front rank of the eminent as- semblage gathered immediately about the bier of the departed statesman sat the president. He was hanked by the members of his cabinet. all of whom had been closely affiliated with Sena- tor Hanna by ties of friendship and political association. Near by were the chief justice and the associate justices of the supreme court of the United States, garbed in their black robes of office. which fitted well into the scene Of sorrow. There were scarcely any { fabsentees from among the members of the senate. Each and all of them were visibly affected, and it was not difficult to detect in their sorrowful counte- nances the sense Of personal loss which all felt in Mir. Hanna's death. The desk Of their late colleague was heavily draped.
 The religious ceremony was fittingly placed in the hands of Dr. Edward Everett Hale, chaplain of the senate, giving it an official character while, preserving its solemnity and insuring its simple dignity.
 After the prayer by Dr. Hale the Gridiron quartet, stationed in the press gallery. sang Nearer, My God, to Thee This was the last tribute of an organization with which Senator Han na had been a great favorite and was tender and delicate farewell from those who had known and loved him.
 The hymn concluded, President Pro Tenn. Frye addressed the assembly, saying:
