LET US HAVE PEACE
ON THE QUESTION OF THE OLD
SOLDIERS GRAVE
His Own Desire That His Body Should
Repose in One of New York's Parks
Perfecting the Funeral Arrange
ments-N Notes from McGregor.

WASHINGTON CITY, July So.-Adjt Gen
Drum has informed the president that he
was told at Mt McGregor that Gen. Grant
himself, before leaving New York. requested
his family to have his body buried in one Of
the New York parks The family were,
therefore, onlylcarrying out his own desire
in selecting New York as the place Of
sepulture.
Old friends of Gen Grant and members
Of his family hope that Gen. Drums state
ments to the president will stop further
criticism. 1t is known that the feelings of
Mrs Grant, Col Grant and other members
Of the family have been sorely wounded
by the attacks of the press and the
complaints of the public regarding
the place of burial The Wash
ington newspapers, keenly disappointed be-
cause the remains OF the dead soldier were
not to repose in the national capital, were
the most offensive in their criticisms, but it
is thought that henceforth they will keep
silent The wish Of Gen Grant in this mat
ter would never have been made public had
not the expressions of the press and public
assumed the magnitude Of national scan
daL It was to put stop to this that the
family informed Adjt- Gen. Drum Of the
expressed desire of the "Old Commander"
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 30.-George W.
Childs, speaking Of the proposal to protest
against the burial of Gen. Grant at New
York, said Wednesday; The family, as
well as all intimate friends, have received
numerous letters from army and navy Of
fcers and others, urging Washington as the
proper place, but Riverside park has beer
selected, and there is no probability of {
change. 1t is a delicate matter to discus
with the family, and l think nothing mort
should be said on the subject"

The Munster Bank uifHculties.

DUBLIN, July 81. The Bank of Ireland
* lains its refusal by saying that the gov
eminent considers that it is the duty Of the
suspended institutions shareholders to first
come TO the bank rescue, and that they
can not expect the 8 .nk Of Ireland TO ad-
vance than money before tnes
call upon their Observation-Disclosures.
The explanation further states that
it may be considered doubtful that
advance of money by the Bahk Of Ireland
would prove Of permanent help 10 the Nun
ster bank and recommends that the latter
issue debe1tures in which case the Bank of
ireland would be disposed 70 consider
further proposals. The reply of the Bank
Z ireland to the application OF the Munster
tank for help has greatly disappointei and
iTritatei the Irish people, and it is expected
that the Nun,ter bank will have 10 be
wouui Up az great loss.
