cause death had robbed the body of

ment of the death of Senator William

gress since adjournment a year ago.

day. The mortality record of the pre-
sent session already Is greater than in
any previous entire Congress.
In submitting the usual resolutions

spect to the memory of the late Sem
ator, Mr.. Clay said: "IIe was the
youngest member of this body--had
not reached his thirty second year at
the time Of his death

his< life been spared doubtless their
most sanguine expectations would have
been realized. He possessed a charm
ing personality and made friends
wherever he went He was studious,
Industrious and ambitious for his coun-
try's good. The people of Florida loved
and trusted him. and he loved them.
and Florida to-day mourns his death.
This is not the proper time to eulogize
his memory. At some future time and
on an occasion appointed for that pur-
pose, the senior Senator from Florida
Will join with other friends of Senator
Bryan in paying to his memory that

by the Rev. Ulysses b. Price, of All
Souls Church. who referred feelingly
to the senates bereavement and to the
