Excerpt from Orville Hitchcock Platt: Memorial Addresses Delivered in the Senate and House of Representatives, First Session of the Fifty-Ninth Congress Mr. Allison. Mr. President, I desire to call the attention of the Senator from Connecticut [mr bulkeley] to the fact that the i4th of April had been selected at his request for memorial services on our late colleague, the former Senator from Connecticut, Mr. Platt. I understand that on that day there is another service to take place on the House side of this Capitol. I therefore think it would be well, if the Senator be willing to do so, to fix another day, a week from the time heretofore selected, 011 which the memorial services shall take place. Mr. Bulkeley. Mr. President, the Senate will remember that I originally requested that the 7th of April be selected for eulogies on my late colleague, Senator platt; but on that day ceremonies were to take place in connection with one of our buildings. I therefore asked the Senate to change the date for the memorial services until the 14th day of April; and now, in accordance with the suggestion of the Senator from Iowa [mn allison], which I think is entirely proper, I will ask the Senate that the memorial services over my late colleague take place on Saturday, April 21.
