Almost the entire city mourns the
death of Mr.. Greeley. On the public
buildings, hotels, newspaper offices,
many private residences, and on the
shipping, flags are displayed at hall

out fsg appropriately draped with
the inscription: "Horsce reeley /;
it Is dore. The nation mourns.'' Il

ments are not yet announced. Both
branches OF the Common Council are
to meet on Monday to take action.

the Chamber OF Commerce, also the
press will pass appropriate resolu
tions on Monday. 1t is expected
there will be grand demonstration
of mourning on the part of the civic
bodies of the city on the day OF the
funeral.
The Liberal club of this city, of
which Greeley was president, met
this evening and passed resolutions
expressive of regret at his death,
which was characterized as a loss
not only 10 tho country but to the
whole world, The Herald club ty
biographical society also passed reso-
lutions of coincidence.
The trustees of the Tribune, st a
meeting on Saturday, appointed a
committee, consisting OF Messrs.
