Dedicating the Mon a memt.

MAKING ARRANGEMENTS FOR TIE PROPER CELEBRA-
TION OF THE GREAT EVENT.
A subcommittee Of the commission, which con-
sists OF eight Representatives in Congress- five Sem
ators, and three members OF the Washington Mon
ument association, and Col. Casey, will hold q
meeting in this city in few days to consult about
the arrangements for dedicating the Washington
monument.
DR.. J. c. yelling, one OF the members, is at pre-
sent confined to his bed by sickness, but If he is
able to go out by the end OF the week meeting
will be held otherwise it viii be delayed until next
week.
Mr.. ". ". Corcoran, who is on the committee
with Dr. Yelling and DR.. Toner, as representing
the Monument Association, said to STAR reporter
this morning.
.'There has been no action taken as yet in regard
to the ceremonies on the occasion OF the dedication
OF the monument. with the exception of inviting
vered the ortiOn at the laying OF the corner stone
OF the monument July 4h, ISi5 &c deliver the ORA
tlon upon this occasion. The committee Will hold q
meeting In Il few days, and then the entire matter
will be considered.
81 can't say how many days Will be devoted to
the ceremonies" continued Mr.. Corcoran, in reply
to question ~ suppose there viii be the grafton
and then procession, which. should Judge, could
occur in one day see no necessity OF continuing
the ceremonies for more than one day"
Congress has appropriated $500 towards the ex-
penSes OF the dedication, but IL is thought that this
will not be sufficient. and Congress Will probably
be asked to make an additional appropriation. The
Grafton OF Mr.. Winthrop will be delivered in the
House Of Representatives. but the other cererno-
MES VIII be at the monument. 1t Is proposed to
have grand procession, comprising the Members
Of Congress, government Olcials military coInpa-
nes, Masonic bodies, and other 4fanizations. and
general invitations Will be extd4dad SO that as
many OF the people OF the country as choose can
participate.
WHAT REMAINS TO BE DONE TO THE ROOF OF THE
STRUCTURE.
The small platform near the top OF the Washing
ton monument, Which viii be used in completing
the structure, has been erected. Forty-iour
stones are yet needed to be put In place. Twenty
seven large stones and eight small ones VIII be set
by the present hoistng appars and then the nine
remaining stones including the cap stone, will be
hosted to The platform, and the present host
ing apparatus will be removed entirely and new
one erected on the platform, by which all the
stones will be SET The work, 1t is expected, will
be completed some time next week. The possibility
of an unusually bad spell OF weather or some un-
rorseen accident which would delay the monu-
ments completion will prevent the meeting Of the
committee appointed for the purpose from meeting
to decide on program OF dedication until there Is
no doubt about its being finished in good season.
II everything goes satisfactorily the committee
will meet next week. plan OF dedication will
not be arranged until then.
