 Thousands of visitors viewed the re- snains in the rotunda of the Capitol this morning. No one was denied ad- snission. There were titled men from home; there were doughboys and Hougsboys' mothers, there were girls and little children, there were men of eh estates. Hundreds brought floral pieces to add to the sea of flowers that lent sweet aroma to the chamber that held the honored dead.
 The sun gave evidence of attempt Hns to smile through the clouds, and Sndica tions were that the later cere- hnonies would be under a full autumn sun, but with chill bite in the air.
 Across the deathly stiffness of the rearly morning came sweet and true rhe ever beautiful strains of Nearer My God to Thee" with measured and steady steps-for the burden they lbore was slight-the body bearers, Thanked on each side by the generals and adnirals, moved down the high 
 caisson that waited below.
 The ranks of waiting soldiers snap 1oed into salute, and as the casket was placed on the caisson the sun, which had been struggling up through the clouds, suddenly broke forth, flooding the wide spaces of the plaza with its aadfant waves.
 The silence which had settled over the plaza as the strains of the hymn ifIoated away was then shattered by the bark of military commands and the cadenced tramp of troops moving into position.
 The light was not yet full and strong when the dignitaries of the government gathered about the bier of the always nameless patriot in the Capitol. Already the streets of the capital were resounding to the tread of stamping horses and the rumble of ed the curbS on both sides.
 First came the body bearers, medal of honor men All-Sergeant Taylor of the cavalry; Sergeant Radsea of the cavalry; Sergeant Dell of the field artillery; Chief Water Tender O'Con- nor of the navy: Sergeant Janson of Laney of the navy ,and Sergeant Saun- ders of the army engineers.
 About them stood the honorary pallbearers, high ranking officers of the army and the navy, their stars end trappings Of rank scarcely dis cernible in diInly-it rotunda-Rear Admiral Hugh Rodman, who com nanded the destroyer fleet with the British during the war; Major Gen. Charles G. Morton. Rear Admiral Charles F. Plunkett, Major Gen w c. Neville, Major Gen. D. c. Shanks, Major Gen. W. G. Haan, Major Gen. C. V. Richards, Major Gen. J. G. liar bord, Major Gen. Clarence R. Ed wards, Major Gen. Charles T. Men oher and Major Gen. John F. O'Ryan of New York fame.
 Reverent1y they watched as the body bearers, with 8 tenderness not attributed to soldiers. picked up their. light burden from the same catalfaQue that had borne Lincoln and Garfield and Mckinley.
 The dignifed Senate met today at the earliest hour of it's history. While the capitol was still shrouded with the gloom of early morning, the Sena- tin formal session in the chamber. There was a brief prayer from the Senate chaplain, and then the Sena- tors went to join the procession with out.
 Our sympathies'' said tine Senate chaplain, "are with the mothers throughout this land of ours today. Some of them may be wondering if this unknown soldier may not be theirs. Our hearts are with them and with him."
 The procession began moving into position soon after o'clock. At it's head was Brig. Gen. H. H. Bandho1tz, commanding general of the District of Columbia, and his staff.
