I SENATORJ
I Following Attack, Senioi
ness" in Washington,
at Trenton.?Succ<
Benet, of
Washington, July 3.?Senator
Benjamin R. Tillman breathed his
last at twenty minutes past four
o'clock this morning, strong heart
action carrying the span of life sev,
erai hours longer than had seemed
possible the evening before.
There had been little hope since
Saturday when the seriousness of
the Senator's condition became apparent
in the complete paralysis of
his left side, and practically no hope
at all after Sunday, when the paralysis
extended to his whole body and
he relapsed into a state of coma.
Senator Tillman did not suffer in
his last illness, and his passing from
life was in strange contrast, its peacefulness,
to his stormy career.
Not all the members of the Senator's
family were able to reach, his
bedside before his death. As has
been said, Capt. Henry Tillman is
recovering from a slight operation

of Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman,

upper house of congress from .South
Carolina, was laid to rest in the
village cemetery at his home town
of Trenton today amidst a mammoth
mound of floral offerings from friends
in many parts of the country.
Congressional Funeral Party.

that the aged senator had died,

at Trenton. In the senate party
there were Senators Smith, of South
Carolina, Swanson, of Virginia, Nelson,

of Florida.
Among those senators who were
detained at the last moment by official
business and prevented from attending
the funeral were Senators
Lodge, of Massachusetts, Penrose, of
Pennsylvania, and Gailinger, of New

who Senator Tillman asked many
years ago to deliver the eulogy upon

time.

except Representatives Stevenson
and Whaley, and the following from

well as J. M. Baker, secretary of the

Thank Daniels for Honor.
Just before the funeral train reached
Trenton the members of the South
Carolina delegation got together and
sent the following telegram to Josephus
Daniels, secretary of the navy:
"The members of the South Carolina
delegation in the senate and
house of representatives wish to express
their appreciation of the honor
conferred upon the State of South
Carolina in naming a destroyer Tillman
in honor of the deceased Senator
Benjamin Ryan Tillman. We are
conscious of the fact that heretofore
the destroyers have been named only
in honor of naval heroes but we feel
with you this honor is rightfully conferred
because of the loyal and effective
services rendered by Senator
Tillman, who like a hero, died working
for the development of the navy
