Jan 10 Ilcautlful nnd Impressive tributes were paid by the senate today to the memory of the late -vice presi dent. 'His ' Intlmato personal relations with many senators and his close ofllclal affilia tion with nil of them rendered his death n distinct loss to every member of the body , as well as to the country. It was In com memoration of his Illustrious career ( hat the senate set apart the session today for the pronouncement of eulogies imoiv him.c Personal friends and associates and party friends and party opponents joined In payIng - Ing such sincere and eloquent tribute to the memory of Mr. Hobart , to hischaracter , nnd public services , as have seldom been paid to any public man. Sewoll of New Jersey called up the rcBolu- tlons ho had previously Introduced provid ing that the business of the senate be sus pended , In order that the distinguished pub lic services and private character of Mr. Hobart might bo fittingly commemorated. Mr. Sew ell addressed the senate In a beau tiful tribute to the dead statesman. Trtlintp of nu Ulil 1'rlciid. Senator Sewoll of Now Jersey paid a feelIng - Ing tribute to the memory of the late vice president , wl'h ' whom his personal rolntlous covered a period extending from early manhood. Ho spoke of events In the , late \lco president's private and official carter and of the characteristics which had en deared htm to tbo people with whom be had come In contact He said In part : "Mr. Hobart was removed from his earthly career at nn age when the magnificent status of his manhood was reaching Its prime , when the grand elements of his character were ripening to their full de velopment ; when his great usefulness to the nation was becoming more and more ap parent. His public duties were marked by zeal and devotion to the Interests of the people. The general welfare ratner than the conserving of private Interests engaged his time and attention. The performance of his dutleti as president of the scnato has over evoked the favorable criticism of the members of this body and the justness nnd fairness of his rulings have elicited their warmest commendation. The character of Mr. Hobart was as the open day neither darkness nor shadow rested upon It His loyalty to truth , his fealt > to duty , his un swerving devotion to the Interests of his constituents have carved for him In the hearts of men an enduring tablet. Sensitive to reproach and Injury , his sympathy reached out to those who were maligned and forbade the entrance of resentment. His course In life Indicated obedience to duty nnd resig nation ; duty nobly performed toward his neighbor nnd to himself , resignation to what ever might betide , cheerfully and willingly dlepla > ed , "Ah , Mr. President , we need no inspiration to show that-BO noble a soul cannot taste of annihilation. Mr. Hobart has passed to the better and higher life that lies bcjond the confines of mortality a life the span of which , unmeasured by the flight of jears , Is filled with Immortal significance and joy. The lessons of his life , whose pleasant re membrances rob even death of sadness , let us treasure nnd may they prove n stimulat ing Influence In the conduct of our own. " Senator Daniel' * Kuloto. Daniel of Virginia followed Sew ell , re ferring eloquently to the roll of Illustrious men who had filled the position of vice president of the United States Said he : "But I venture to say that that high of fice was never filled by one who met all of Its responsibilities with mole equal and uniform efficiency and who discharged Its duties with more acceptability to all con cerned than did our beloved friend. Garret A. Hobart. War and peace were declared during his Incumbency of office. His In fluence for good was felt and profoundly appreciated. It Is a blessing to all the land that such a man has filled such a place. " Depew paid eloquent tribute to the memory of Hobart , who was a long tlmo personal friend. Mr. Depew , who thus addressed the senate for the first tlmowas at his best In voice and his oration was listened to with deepest attention. * Loiltre'N Tribute. Senator Lodge said "There wne one con spicuous public service rendered by Mr. Hrbart , which , I think , has not been under stood and certainly has not been adequately appreciated. He restored the -vice presidency to Its proper position and lifted It up before the people to the dignity and Importance which It merits. The decline of the vice presidency In political -weight nnd popular estimation has been an unfortunate develop ment of the last fifty years. In our regard f6r that office and In our treatment of It wo have departed utterly from the wise concep tion of the founders of our government. The frames of the constitution Intended that the vlco president should be In all respects , in ability , In reputation , in weight of character and In his standing before tbo people , on a piano of absolute equality with the presi dent , Wo have but to turn to the original clause of the constitution , amended so long ngb It Is well-nigh forgotten , and there find thp proof of this statement. "In that clause It was provided that the electors In each stnto should vote for two persons from different states without nam ing the office- voted for and that the man revolving the highest vote in all the electoral colleges should bo president and the ono re ceiving the next highest should be vice president In other words , the electors wore to vote for two men who were equally fit to bo president and one was to have the first and the other the second place Since that time the conception of the fnnmers hne faded and grown dim. TN ; vlco presidency has been treated too often by party con tention either as n convenient or honorable shelf upon which an eminent man might quietly close his career , or as n roil a latlon prize to be awarded to the faction In the party which had failed to win the highest place. So far has this misconception and thle false treatment of the vlco presidency gone that It Is almost universal ! } looked upon 113 certain political extinction for any man with a career before him , still more with hopes of presidency to accept the becond place In the government to which he le chosen by the votes of the entire American people Out of this neglect and misconcep tion Mr Hobart ellently lifted his great office mercl ) by the manner In vvblch he filled It and performed Us duties Quietly , firmly and with perfect tact he asserted the dignity of his high position , never going toe far and alnaya far enough Without know- I Ing exact ! ) why , people suddenly came tc I realize that there wab a vlco president ol * the United States , that ho held the second ' position In the government and that wltli the exception of the president he was the only man In the country holding office by the vote of the entire people In thin way the old and true conception of the vice pro- ! dency In relation to the administration re appeared Instead of holding aloof and re maining Indifferent to the conduct of the government , Mr Hobart regarded hlmBell as a part of the administration und as a representative nt the policies which that ad ministration bad been chosen to carry Intc I effect. " I Remarks were also made by Senators Cockrell of Missouri , Cullom of Illinois , Davis of Minnesota and Morgan of Alabama Cnffery of Ixnilnlnnft followed IxuUo and ho was In turn followed by Allen of Ne braska The concluding nddrc n was deliv ered bjKi&n of New Jersey , and nt 3 16 , as n token of additional respect , the senate ad journed MORE DETAILS OF BRIBERY Sonnte CnnuitS tee on the Clnrk CHIP Iluiirlnir I'lent > of I2Itlcnee Ilnili Itnom MeettiiR. WASHINGTON , Jan. 10 rormcr Senator 1'nulkner todiy resumed his cross-examina tion of Mr. Whltesldes of Montana In the case of Senator Clark of that state Ho lie- Kan today's proceedings In an effort to breik donn the testimony of Whllcsldes concern ing the part taken by State Senator Clark of Madison county In exposing the alleged nils- conduct of his namesake In connection with the senatorial election Whltcsldea repeated his statement that he had seen Mr Clark of Madison go alone to the room of Wellcome , one of the managers for Senator Clark , and also that Clark , the state senator , had asked a day to consider the proposition to enter Into the agreement to expose the alleged bribery proceedings. Ho asserted that the suggestion that the stnto senator's vote could bo secured had not originated with him , but with Wellcome. Ho < ald ninny of these points had not been touched upcn nt the legislative In\e3tlgatlon or before the grand Jury , because thc o proceedings were comparatively brief At Faulkner's Instance Whltsldes went over the details of the transaction with Senator Myers , who was one of his associates In the alleged exposure , and also told again the circumstances under which money was given to htm. Both transactions had been conducted In the bath-room of Mr. Well- como's room nt the Helena hotel Whltesldes also detailed some of the par ticulars of a visit made to New York nnd Washington by himself In February of last year. Ho said ho had mot hero among others Mr. Campbell , counsel in the cast- , nnd Mr. Durston. He had not met them by appointment , but they had discussed whether they should make their disclosures to congress before the adjournment last March or watt until the beginning of the present session. He nnd Mr. Campbell had been the most active agents In the present prosecution. Replyingto a question as to whether the Daly faction had c\cr used money In politico , Whltesldes enld that he did not know that charges of bilch use of money by Daly had been made by the newspapers friendly to Clark ; that the corrupt practices had begun In 1833 , when Clark was a can didate tor the senate , and had continued through the state capital fight , when money was poured out like water , and In subse quent sessions of the legislature until the last session , when the climax was reached. He had then determined to do what ho could to put o atop to the ptactlccs , hence his actlvll } In this prosecution. Faulkner then announced that for the present he had concluded his examination of the witness , but later , when his ques tions were properly formulated , he would ask to have him recalled , wall a view of putting questions to bo used as the founda tion of proceedings looking to the Impeach ment of his testimony.

Finally , he makes < a plea for the cpntlnuatlon of the present missionary work of the church. The Inhabitants of the Islands of Leyto and Samar are suffering from lack of food , resulting from 'the ' long blockade , the arbi trary confiscation of propel ty and the levy ing of tribute by the so-called goveminent of the Filipinos. The governors of both of the islands are Tagalos , who are appointed by Agulnaldo , nnd they hold the territories completely In their power , administering local affairs according to their own whims and accountable to no one. They have armed forces which terrorize the peaceful Inhabitants. The rebel forces , on the other hand , have never lacked food nor money. The Inhab itants , -driven to desperation by the neces sity of paying four times the normal price for foodstuffs , organized against Insurgent depredations , but having no arras , they were unable to resist their oppressors.
