KAISER'S BROTHER ATTENDS.
President Roosevelt , the Cabinet ,
Army and Navy Officers and Both
Branches of Congress Participate.
Hay Delivers Eulogy.
- ' Washington , Feb. 28. At noon yesterday -
torday in the great hall of representa
tives , In the presence of President
Roosevelt , Prince Henry of Prussia ,
brother of the German emperor ; the
members of the cabinet , the justices
df'the supreme court , the general of
the army and officers of tlio army and
Davy who have received the thanks of
congress , the ambassadors and other
diplomatic representatives of foreign
countries , the senators and representa
tives in congresd and a largo number
of distinguished guests , Hon. John
Hay , McKJnley's secretary of state ,
pronounced a eulogy upon his dead
chief. Four times before national mo-
'modal services * for presidents who
have died in office have been held In
this hall , two of them like this in com
memoration of chief magistrates who
have fallen by the hand of assassins.
Only one year ago , less flvo days , at
the head of an Imposing civic and mili
tary procession , MoKlnloy passed tri
umphantly along Pennsylvania avenue
for his second inauguration. Six
months later the tragedy occurred at
Buffalo and another , but different sort
of procession tenderly bore his body
through the streets to the rotunda ot
the capltol , where the brief funeral
oration was delivered over his coffin
and the tributes of the nations of earth
about his bier bespoke the universal
sorrow. Yesterday once more , with
uncovered head , the nation paid its
last tribute of respect and publicly expressed -
pressed its living grief.
Procession Quiet and Solemn ,
i Again the broad avenue was filled
with vast crowds , as they were a year
ngo. "Thon the streets wore a sea of
glittering bayonets and waving plumes
and the air was filled with the hun-
dred-tongued resplendent bands. Yes
terday all was changed. The proces-
Eton was unorganized. No martial mu-
elc lightened the feet of the throng.
JNo cheers were heard.
The only pageant was the clatterIng -
Ing troop of cavalry escorting Prince
Henry and his party to the capltol.
The precedent in. the case of the
J * Garflold memorial exorcises was fol
u lowed closely. The hall was without
decoration of any character. The red-
coated Marino band , CO strong , was
stationed in the corridor which sep
arates the hall from the rear lobby of
the house.
At 10 o'clock the doors were opened
and in five minutes the spacious gal
lerles surrounding the chamber were
dense with black rows of people.
Even the aisles were filled , but the
crowding and jamming which have
marred so many state occasions was
avoided , as the tickets Issued were
limited strictly to the number of seats
provided. Only one was given to each
Senator and representative and the
gathering in the galleries was a most
distinguished one. The fact that few
of'the'women wore bright gowns was
especially noticeable.

the request might bo entertained.

spread on the minutes. It was so or
dered.
