to the House of the death of Hon. WILLIAM H.F. LEE, a
Representative in the Fiftieth and Fifty-first Congresses of the United
States and a Representative-elect to the Fifty-second Congress.

He died at his home, in Fairfax County, Va., on the 15th day of October
last, after a lingering illness. Later in the session I shall ask this
House to fix a day when his colleagues and friends can do justice to his
memory and express their appreciation of his high character.

It is only meet and fitting on this occasion that I should say that in
the death of Gen. LEE the State of Virginia has lost the services of one
of her most chivalrous and noble sons, and the district he so well
represented a faithful guardian of the interests of all its people.

I send to the desk and ask the adoption of these resolutions:

The Clerk read as follows:

_Resolved_, That the House has heard with deep regret and profound
sorrow of the death of Hon. W.H.F. LEE, a Representative from the
State of Virginia.

_Resolved_, That the Clerk be directed to communicate a copy of
these resolutions to the Senate.

_Resolved_, That as a further mark of respect the House do now
adjourn.

The resolutions were unanimously agreed to.

And accordingly (at 12 o'clock and 37 minutes p.m.) the House adjourned
until Tuesday, the 5th day of January next.

EULOGIES.

FEBRUARY 6, 1892.

_Resolved_, That Saturday, February 6, beginning at 1 o'clock
afternoon, be set apart for paying tribute to the memory of Hon.

Mr. MEREDITH. Mr. Speaker, I offer the resolutions which I send to the

distinguished public services, that the House, at the conclusion of
these memorial proceedings, shall stand adjourned.

Senate.
