New YORK, July 2S.-Gen. Perry said
that the arrangements for the Grant funeral
procession could not be completed for two
or three days. Military and civic OrganiZa-
tions, as well as Grand Army posts from
every state in the union, had applied for
positions in the line. The Grand Army
will be arranged in solid body, divided
into four or five divisions There will be
two divisions from this city, and the other
divisions will be made up of delegates from
visiting posts. Each division will be headed
by a band Of music, and the men will march
in double ranks, company front, of sixteen
files. The first and second divisions
y. Y. Y. G.. will form a prominent
feature in the parade, and it is probable
that military organizations from this state
and other states will take part. Three
military organizations from Illinois have
already given notice that they will be pres
ent. 1t is requested that all civic and mill
tary organizations desiring to take part in
the parade will report at once to Gen. Han
cock at GOverner's Island. The parade will
probably be headed by the full force of the
mounted police. Outside of the Grand
Army headquarters, in the basement of the
city hall, are mourning emblems, i'll which
the badges of the army corps constituting
the army of the Patomac are cOnspic-
uous feature. 1t is said that from $4,000
to so. coo veterans will take part in the pa
rade on Saturday, Aug. s. Each division
will carry the post cOlors and old battle
flags maSsed in the center of the division.
Gen. Hancock announced this evening
that the arrangements had been decided
upon. The Fourth artillery of Fort
Adams under command of Maj. Adams,
will fire salute at Mt. McGregor, and Maj.
Randolph, commanding the Thirteenth
artillery at Fort Hamilton will fire the final
salute on the day of the funeral. Gen.
Hancock and staff, accompanied by Gen.
Sherman, will proceed to Mt. McGregor on
the night of Aug. 2. The remains will be
conveyed by train, consisting of a car for the
family, one for the remains, two for the
escort, which will number not more than
sixty men, one for the clergy and pail bear
ers, one for Gen. Hancock and staff, and one
for the press. The first stop will be made at
Saratoga and the second at Albany. AT
the second place Adjutant General Farms
worth will assume charge of removing the
remains to the capitol, where Gov.
Hill assumes control. From Albany
TO this city the remains will be in
care of Gen. Hancock. Having arrived

that his mother had decided in favor Of the

MAYORS Office in the city hall at 1880
o'clock this morning. The burial place will
be on the site of the ST. Clare homestead,
now known rs the Claremont house. This

site of this building, which must be demol-
ished or removed. Mayor Grace said to-day;
Il have been confident from the first that
when Col Grant was shown the advantages
of the site iii Riverside park he would agree
that it was much more suitable spot than
any that could be found in Central park.
Riverside park extends along the
river front for three ana one

high ground, close to the North river. Just
above the spot chosen for the tomb the

Indians breaking Up.

ClftN4AA ~ Alt
TOMBSTONE, Ariz., July 2S.-The
Apaches on the north boundary line have
apparently broken up into small parties of
two or three and upwards, and
are evidently endeavoring to gain
their reservation. This theory is sustained
by the fact that they have com
mitted few depredations this side of
the line. Last night twelve Apaches were
seen twelve miles from this place Oh the
BiSbee road. They were diSmOunted by
men armed with guns. Their horses were
probably stolen i'm the vicinity. They
made no hostile demonstrations.
A party is also known to be
lurking in the WetStone mountains, twenty
five miles west of this place. Lieut.. Fay
son, with 4 detachment of troops,
left Fort Hauchuca yesterday for
the WetStone mountains, and will try
TO dislOdse the Indians. Two ArapahOes
came into Oachayille, a small settlement
on the line thirty miles from this place, on
Sunday evening and surrendered. They
were nearly famiShed and had evidently
been without food for several days. When
questioned they claimed TO be government
scouts, but the statement is not believed,
and the Indians will be held as prisoners
until the truth is aScertained. Reports
reached here of scattering bands being seen
in other localities, and that collision will
occur soon seems probable.

WASHINGTON, July 2s.-The action of
Secretary Whitney in the dismissal of sew
eral officers of the coast survey last week,
was but the prelude to a series of
developments that well show eonclusively
that the change of administration came
none too soon. The coast survey is rotten
TO the core, and the forthcoming inyestiga-
tion will doubtless develop some very
interesting facts. There are some things
however, that are not likely 10 come out.
\ naval officer said To GLOBE cores
pendent yesterday: Il know OF one instance
in which the government was defrauded by
the coast survey people. A few years ago
a party under the charge of civilian Off
Mississippi. The civilian secured all
additional allowance of so cents per
diem for each enlisted man, on the plea
that the markets were so remote that he
could not feed his men on the
communication allowance of 80 cents a day.
Next year another party was sent down
there in charge of a naval officer. A New
Orleans firm submitted an offer TO supply
the party with ratiOns at 30
cents per day per man, stating
that they had had a similar contract
with the official in charge the previous year.
In this instance the government paid 60
cents per day per man TO line the
pocket of the official in charge
of the party. The fish commission,
the geological survey and the topographic
corps of the army will afford rich fields
for the most persistent Investigation, if
properly worked.

a teacher OF the New York Athletic club,
to-day swan from DcCOmb's dam bridge
down the Harlem river, and thence past
He'll Gate. and down the East river to tn e
Battery, distance of thirteen miles. Tn e
feat is one that is calculated to test tn G
swimmers powers of endurance, sin ce
the great struggle through the II ell
Gate channel comes i'll the middle of
the course. Sundstrom started at
Q a. IN. When he reached the
He'll Gate waters several powerful currents
were running III opposite directions, eddies
boiled and whirled on both sides, and strong
whirlpOOls formed erratically upon the sur
face and sucked down all floating debris.
As soon as he entered the current he was
swept toward the Hogs Back rock, where
the schooner Sheppard fOundered two weeks
ago, and when he struggled over toward
the other shore a whirl carried him
nearly to the lighthouse shoal.
He was tossed, driven, swept,
and pulled about, but, swimming with his
face to the seas that met him, ne breasted
the waves triumphantly, and at last got
into the smoother water below Eightieth
street. About off the foot of FOrtieth
street SundstrOm had narrow escape from
being run down by two steamers racing
down the river. Sundstrom arrived at the
Battery at 1898 o'clock, having accom-
plished the thirteen miles in the remarkably
rapid time of three hours and thirty-eight
minutes. SundStrom is one of five brothers,
all expert swimmers, and is only % years

NIiIwaukee Takes a Sweat.

MILWAUKEE, July 2S.-This has been
the hottest day experienced by Milwaukee
this summer. At an early hour the air
was heavy and oppressive, increasing in its
torrid tendency until 5 o'clock this after
noon, when thermometers indicated the
temperature at 9So. People were, as a
rule, judiciOus enough to remain as
quiet as possible, and, as result,
but few cases of prostrati0n from
the heat were reported. Street car lines
were obliged TO lengthen their running time
for the protection of their horses, and from
noon until evening paid little attention to
the customary regularity of cars. Shortly
after o'clock in the evening fierce wind
storm made its appearance from the north
west, bringing with it a welcome rain and
cooling the atmosphere to delightful de-
gree. Within half hour the temperature
fell Is degrees. So far as has been learned
up to this hour no damage of any cOnses
quence was done by the wind storm, which
passed up the lake.

New ORLEANS, July 2S.-At the corner
of TchoupitOulas and Seventh streets
last night Joseph Casey, Toney Zibert
and Fred Wilson got into an argument
concerning horses. The discussion waxed
warm and Casey struck Wilson, who re-

and Wilson and Casey shook hands.
Shortly afterward the party agreed
that another reconciliation was
necessary, whereupon Casey again
apologized handsomely. The handshaking
continued until Wilson was graSping one of
the disputants affectiOnately, when Casey
drew a revolver, and, without warning.
opened on the crowd. The first shot struck
Wilson in the neck, passing through, and
another plowed its way entirely through
Mrs. Hausner's side, and the third went
through Toney ZibeIt's breast, and Casey
then reloaded his weapon and walked down
the street, firing at everybody he saw, for
