nor Unanimously Adopted.
An unusually large attendance Of men,
bers of the House Of Representatives
were In their seats today on the conyen-
ing of that body. The usual hum of voices
was noticeably subdued. as the topic of
conversation related almost exclusively
to the death of Senator Hanna and the
preparations being made for the partici-
patton of the lower body in the funeral
services.
During the early part of the session OF
the House there was an indefinable gloom
throughout the chamber The attendance
was very large. Although no announce
ment was made of Senator Hanna's death
until after the recess 1t was apparent
that all the proceedings were leading up
to an adjournment as soon as the formal
message was received from the Senate.
When the Speakers gavel fell at II
o'clock and the customary words an
nouncing the opening prayer OF the chap
lain were pronounced each member rose.
Rev. DIR. Couden prayed as follows:
-'Our Father, who art in heaven, we come
to Thee bowed in sorrow and in grief. be-
cause great, useful man, faithful serv-
ant of the people. has been taken from u.s.
Yet we come with perfect faith and conf
dence in Thee as a wise, just and merciful
ruler, who doeth all things for the good of
His children. Help us, we beseech Thee
to learn the lesson Thou wouldst teach us
may be faithful to our calling and gain the
confidence and esteem of our fellow-men.
BE very near to the bereaved wife, sor-
rowing and mourning family, and to those
of friendship. Comfort them by the blessed
hope OF the life to come. In Jesus Christ,
our Lord. Amen"
