Wash ington, March L On motion of Senator Mitchell the Senate today set aside an hour for hearing eulogies on the late Rep resentative Tongue, of Oregon. There were five addresses, some of those who had intended speaking being unavoidably absent. The tributes paid -were sincere and impressive, particularly that of Sen ator Mitchell, who spoke with deep feej Ing as a friend of long years. Senator Turner, of "Washington, "who had known Mr. Tongue since 18S4 as one of the fore most lawyers of the Pacific Northwest, opened the ceremonies with a brief tribute, in which he said that the deceased had not sought public life; It had sought him, and when ho yielded to the call he served his state -with the highest honor and dis tinction. In a comparatively short term of public service he had risen to a posi tion of leadership by reason of his dili gence and his unswerving devotion to duty. Senator Mitchell's Tribute. Senator Mitchell followed, reviewing at eome length the different works of Mr. Tongue, and Quoting many tributes paid him by public men of Oregon when the news of his death reached the state. As he proceeded he was overcome more than once with emotion, -which he "with diffi culty controlled. In closing his beautiful tribute Senator Mitchell saidr "No representative in Congress was ever more industrious or more watchful of the Interests of his state or more alert in guarding at all points and at all times the rights and interests of the people he so ably represented. His service as a member of the river and harbor commit tee In procuring needful appropriations for the rivers and harbors, not only of Oregon, but of the whole country, can not be overestimated, and will not soon be forgotten. To him, as chairman of the committee on irrigation, is largely due the House legislation of last session upon the nil-important subject of irrigation of arid lands, while his Indefatigable labors in se curing the passage through the House of the bill pensioning the Indian War veter ans must stand forever as a bright Jewel of his official record, and tears of affec tion and gratitude will attest the love of those grizzled and grateful veterans so long as any of them are permitted to live. Truly, the State of Oregon, in the death of Mr. Tongue, has lost an able and faith ful and efficient Representative, a loyal and devoted friend. Mr. Tongue was a charming personality. He was devoted and constant in his friendships, unyield ing in his loyalty to his friends, uncom promising in his fidelity to every personal and political obligation. No consideration of personal or political advantage or pref erment could Induce him to swerve a hair's breadth from the lino of his con victions. His personal integrity was never questioned. The legacy, public and private, he has left to his family is free from blight" or stain. "His public career, so suddenly brought to an end by him who doeth all things well, was, In so far as he was permitted to pursue it, a complete success. From the day he entered upon his duties as a member of tho 55th Congress until sum moned to a higher life he gradually and rapidly grew In influence In, the respect of his associates and In the power to command results In tho interest of his state and of the Nation. "Mr. Tongue was a man of untiring In dustry. He never faltered, even before seemingly insurmountable obstacles, in honorable and earnest effort to accomplish his purposes. He was of that class who believe that 'life without Industry is guilty.' "He was ever ready to sacrifice" personal effort to advance the interests of his con stituents as a whole, or to do a personal favor to the most humble. Throughout Oregon many hearts are weeping and many eyes are moist with tears in grief over the sudden death of their honored Representative. Cicero's aphorism. 'No one has lived a short life who has per formed its duties with unblemished char acter, Is truly applicable to Mr. Tongue." Review by Perkins. Senator Perkins, of California, vividly reviewed the development of Oregon since tho days whon Mr. Tongue settled there with his parents, and showed the many ways in which he had been closely identi fied with the upbuilding of the section. He pointed out that throughout his Con gressional career Mr. Tongue had ever been a foremost champion of legislation that would build up the commerce of the Pacific Coast and afford markets for their products. Not only had he labored earn estly for river and harbor improvements in his own -state, but in others, and had advocated a better protection of the coast In the interest of the rapidly developing commerce. "Armed with a full degree of industry and energy, his Indefatigable ambition buoyed him upward until he surmounted all obstacles and reared for himself a name that will leave Its Impression upon the memories of his neighbors and con stituents." Senator Dubois, of Idaho, said: "He substantially aided in perfecting the legislation of the last session, which is destined to make the deserts bloom and the barren fields productive. His name "will always be intimately associated with the National Irrigation law. He likewise labored for an open waterway down the Columbia River, which will give to hun dreds of prosperous wheatgrowers of his state, as well as Washington and Idaho, cheap transportation to the ocean on their immense crops of grain. In him the West l03t a loyal, faithful and honest law maker." Senator Simon Closed. Senator Simon closed with a brief testi monial of his regard for Mr. Tongue. "He was a man of moral worth and tireless energy." he said. "One of the foremost lawyers of his state, and an orator of marked ability, he was a power in politi cal affairs of his commonwealth and of the Nation. His achievements were those of which the most favored might well be proud. Ko held intensely strong and posi tive opinions on public questions, and. al though he did not speak often, could, when occasion demanded, ably and forcibly de bate them. He was an impressive speak er. Asa member of the House be was in defatigable in working for Oregon, and never lost an opportunity to advance the. interests of his district and state. As a member o'f the river and harbor committee he was an influential factor in securing the needed appropriations for rivers and harbors of Oregon. In National affairs be was an earnest and successful legislator." The other Congressmen eulogized were: Peter J. Otey. of Virginia: James Moody, of North Carolina, and John N. W. Rum ple, of Iowa.

Booth & Co., until receiving his ap pointment from Senator Fulton. expressed some remorse and showed signs of breaking down before the enraged father. Llttleman stood outside the cell, and after he looked at Knapp said: "I have never seen this man. I do not care to look at him any more. Knapp said: T am just as sorry as can be that little Emmi is dead. She had eyes and hair like yours." As Llttleman turned away, tears stood In Knapp's eyes. This was his first dem onstration In that way. The prisoner was In better health to day, and he passed Sunday quietly. Judge Belden said today that he. had not been asked to call a special grand Jury, and that there might be none, as the courts are very busy now. While convicted of minor offenses.

Family Said to Have Had Knovrledge of Knapp's Crimes. CINCINNATI. March L Since It has been determined to arraign Alfred Knapp at Hamilton tomorrow and have a trial as soon as possible for the murder of Hannah Goddard, his third wife, the ef forts of the city and county officials here have not been relaxed In securing evidence regarding the murders of Emma Llttle man. Maay Dkart and Jennie Connors, the three crimes which Knapp confessed to committing in Cincinnati. While neith er the parents nor the brother. Cyrus Knapp. nor the sisters, Mrs. King and Mrs. Wenzel, of Hamilton, arc under ac tual police surveillance here, the officers are keeping track of them. The family all agree In their statements about Alfred being Insane. His father says Alfred would be better off dead than alive, but his mother worries over such an ending. His brother Cyrus and his sister. Mrs. Wenzel, are doing all they can for the defense, and have created o much sympathy for their aged parents that the Knapp home was thronged to day with visitors, many of whom brought flowers. The Kings aided in the apprehension of the prisoner. After killing his third wife In Hamilton on the morning of Decem ber 22. Knapp on the night of that date called on his brother-in-law, E. F. King, in Cincinnati, and Inquired If his wife had been there. King had suspected Alfred of former murders, but on account of appeals of the family was restrained from reporting the fact to the police. When wife No. 3 disappeared, however, neither Mr, nor Mrs. King could suppress their suspicions. Hannah Goddard had lived with them and was regirded as a daugh ter. It will be one week tomorrow since King, accompanied by a Cincinnati de tective, went to Hamilton and. after see ing Mr. Goddard and others, communicat ed with Captain Lcnehan, of the Hamil ton police, who arrested Knapp " at In dianapolis the next day. It is now generally believed hero that King had his suspicions confirmed re cently by Knapp's mother, who got a letter from her son, telling about his crimes, and that tho aged mother told also, so as to prevent Alfred from mur dering his fourth wife, who is now in In- dlanapolis. All possible efforts were made here to "get this letter end others, but Mrs. "Wenzel insists that Alfred's letters were burned. Mrs. Sadie Wenxel says King came to her house last Tuesday night and said he bad put the Hamilton police on the trail because Alfred had robbed him. King claimed that Alfred took his revol ver and other things when he visited them. Mrs. Wensel blamed her sister, Mrs. King, with urging her husband to have Alfred arrested. She also blamed Hannah Goddard Knapp for separating Wenzel, who now lives at Chicago, and herself. Mrs. King, In her interview, stated that Alfred wrote Mrs. "Wenzel some" time ago that Hannah was now out of the wiy. Mrs. Wenzel denies re ceiving such a letter. The counter-statements of tho slter3 are attracting much attention. It is thought that one may be called at Hamilton by the prosecution, whllo there la no doubt of the other being called for tho defense. BAXIC ROBBEKS CAPTURED.
