WHAT REPRESENTATIVE WARNER SAYS.
Representative Warner of Ohio, called on the
Secretary of the Treasury to-day. He says that
the objections to Keilars appointment were
not based upon political grounds at all. The
charges against him, Mr.. Warner says, reflected
upon his moral character, and were such as
should have prevented his appointment. In
making the designation, he says, the civil SER
vice commission made great mistake, and
they cannot convince the people of Ohio that
they were not influenced by political motives
iii making tie appointment Mr.. Warner will
press the matter on Secretary Manning's atten-
ton again, and insist upon keliar's removal.
The probabilities are that considerable trouble
may grow out of the case. Efforts will be made
by the opponents of the appointment to cudgel
the civil service commissioners out of office
and, if they don't succeed in this before, AN
attack upon the institution will probably be
made in the House when Congress meets.

WASHINGTON DISSATISFIED

That 1t Was Not Selected as General
Grants Place of Burial,
WASHINGTON, July 25.-Continued ex-
pressions Of ~disapproval and d~isappoint-
meut at the selection of New York as the
burial place of General Grant are heard
from officials in every grade and citizens
generally in Washington. Said n Of the
most prominent officials in the new AID.
ministration to-day: The burial Of Gen.
eral Grant at New York, with the cere-
monies preceding it, will make it more OF
a State than q national affair. His body is
to lie in state in Albany and New York city.
1t ought to be placed in state in New York,
Philadelphia and Washington, and then be
buried here, beside the soldiers who fought
with him. Under the present arrangement
the army can do nothing more than it would
do should it be called upon to assist in the
burial of any other prominent General"
Citizens express sentiments similar to that
above indicated. They admit, however,
hat il it were the wish of General Grant,
or if the family have a decided prefer.
ence that the burial take place in New
York, further controversy is precluded
The proposed selection of Central Park as
the place Of the burial, rather than some
other public reservation in New York city,
is also specially criticised here, and The 'ug-
gestion is made that the center of Union
Square, for instance, would be q more fitting
place for the interment of the dead hero's re-
mains and the erection Of q noble monu-
mem to commemorate the nations graft
tude.
