COMMANDING EA1INENCE.
The site chosen for General Grants tomb
is on sort OF promontory on the highest
point in Manhat! awhile. The outward
swell of the promontory begins at One
Hundred and Twenty-Seconds street aid the
river bank returns to it's regular line at
One-Hundred and Twenty Ninth street.
The summit OF this elevation is almost a
level plateau OF something more than
twenty acres on the river side. The descent
is abrupt. At it's foot 200 feet below are
the tracks OF that branch of the Hudson
River Railroad that runs into the West
Thirty Eighth street depot. On the north
west is the ferry to Fort Lee, and in the
north and northeast the red brick
stores, houses and manufactures
of Manhattanville clustefaround the base
of the hill. If the observer looks to the
south he has opened before him the long
vista of Riverside Park, OF driveways,
hewn stone wallis and ancient oaks and
naples on the steep slopes OF the Hudson.
The spot suggests Revolutionary War
memories-Fort Lee is opposite, the old
fort in Central Park is on the southeast,
Fort Washington is on the north, and the
Highlands, near West Point, shut out the
horizon. Beyond the Tappan See no struct-
ures can be erected to break the uniformity
of the view. as the water front and park
belong to the city. The temporary tomb
to receive the body will be built OF brick.

a long preamble and resolutions, winch

National Capital, "The Mecca OF tne
American people," THAT MS asnes

States have exclusive jurisdiction ana con
troll" and the erection OF monument 10
his memory by Congress will be greatly en-
harrassed, m if not defeated, by his interment
in a locally owned ground. The resolutions
