1t is more than likely that efforts
will be put forth by the administra-
ton to have a State funeral for Sem
ator Daniel, preceded by a solemn
scene at the Capitol. 1t was suggested
last night that 1t would be appropriate
to have the body of the foremost citi-
zen OF Virginia to lie in state In the
rotunda for at least twenty -four hours,
to be protected by a guard of honor
and to be viewed by all persons who
wished to look upon the beloved fea-
lures for the last time.
While the Governor, who was worn
out by his exertions of the day on two
important boards, could say little last
night, it is believed that he favors
some such proceeding. There will like
~ be widespread demand to-day that
the Governor ask the family of the
distinguished Senator for his body so
that the people who loved him SO we'll
may pay him the last honors.
Many Would See Him.
Thousands upon thousands OF the
people Of the capital city and its vi
cinity would be gratided at the OPP
portunity to file through the rotunda
and see the features of the dead Sem

but his first stroke of paralysis in
Philadelphia prevented his attendance.
In all probability Adjutant-General
w. w. Sale will be delegated to act
as chief marshal at the funeral IL 1t is
made a State affair. The Adjutant-
General will represent the military
of the State. Guards of honor will
doubtless be selected from different
organizations. or course. many Con-
federate and civic organizations will
participate.
Flags will fly at half-mast over the
Will order that the executive offices
be draped in mourning for probably
thirty days. AT the time of the flu
neral all the departments of the State
government will be closed. and no
Dor of any kind will be allowed.
Ask All to Join.
Furthermore. 1t is likely that the
Governor will request a general eX-
preston of grief while the funeral is
In progress. He may ask every citi-
zen of Virginia. whatever his occupa-
ton, to suspend his labors for, say, ten
minutes. While the services are being

The stopping Of trains. OF street cars,
of all street traffic, the silent grouping
of men and women. with bowed heads
and thoughtful hearts, would, in tho
opinion of those who discussed the
matter last night. be most impressive
and most appropriate, and would show
