 The funeral train bearing the body of the dead Senator and the members of his family arrived In Cleveland during a driving snow storm.
 A lage crowd was assembled about the Pennsylvania station. notwithstanding the fact that the train arrived more than d half shour earlier than had been ex- pectsd. The people stood patiently and complained not of the cold and gave the police little trouble. The depot grounds were surrounded by a triple cordon of police and none save those entitled tt be there were allowed to enter either the grounds or the depot.
 The Governors StaR. At Salem members of Governor Her- rick's staff joined the funeral party, os which the Governor mad been a member from Washington. When the members tf his staff had joined hiln at Salem near the state line GoYerfoK z7errlek. llr the name of the commonwealth. extended 10 the family the coincidence of all Ohio. The place where this sad rite occurred was a fitting one, TOT 1t was at Lisbon, meas Salem. where the Senator was born. There he began his career.
 When the train came to stop the family and immediate friends who occu- pied the private car wore the last to leave the train. Mrs. Hanna was assist ed from the train by her son. Dan R. Hanna and H. M. Hanna. brother of the Senator. The members of. the family entered carriages and were driven to t1e home of Dan. R. Hannas east of the city,

 Reverence and Respect.
 Along the line of march the reverence. respect and love felt for the dead Sena- tor was shown. Men stood with barred heads in almost blinding storms while the procession passed and many eyes were filled with tears A bugle announced the arrival of the procession at the Cham beF of Commerce. 4 moment after the casket was placed on the bier. the top was removed and tho face of the dead Senator exposed to the graze 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.
 The chamber auditorium where the body low lies in stato was most appro- priately set for the occasion. From the four large chandeliers there is a huge canopy of black. From a black and white rosette in the center four white streamers extending to the corners of the canopy around the entire hall Be- heath the canopy stands tho catafalque upon which rested the remains of Presi- dent Mckinley at Canton.
 The floral tributes were the most elaborate since the funeral of the late President Mckinley. A whole car load of offerings fromWashington officials and friends accompanied the funeral train. | They include a beautiful wreath from President Roosevelt.
 Many Beautiful Tributes. Two great tables in the eastern ex- trenity of the hall are piled high with costly tributes. A gigantic Grand Army of the Republic badge. built principally of carnations, was sent by Memorial Post No. Al.
 The Senator Hanna seen by the thou | sands who filed past the bier was far different from the Senator Hanna familiar to CIeyelanders in life. The face was thin and drawn. bearing plain testi- mony to the sufferings that ne had un- | dergone.
