Citizsns express q sentiment similar
to that above indicated. They admit,
however, chat if il were the wish of
General Grant, or if tho family have
decided preference that burial take
place in New York, further collrOver-
sy is precluded. The proposed selec-
ton OF Central Park as the place Of
burial to some other public r5serva-
ton in New York City is also specially
criticised here, and the suggestion is
made that the centre of Union square,
| for instance, would be mo-o lifting

remains and the erection Of noble

THE PRESIDENTS PLANS CHANGED.
The President contemplated leaving
Washington next Saturday on his va
cation. The death of General Grant
has made it necessary for him TO
change his programme. He will not
leave tor that purpose until after the
burial of the exPresident.

No sermon ON tho Mount.

Mt. McGREGoR, July G0.-A cool

alive down at the cottage, seemed well
nigh impossible to DR.. Newman; so
the day has boen one Of quletness with
few visitors and some permanent ar
rivals.
THE OLD coAcHMAS WANTS TO DRIVE
THE HEARSE.
The message sent by General Grants
old coachman, requesting that he
migRt drive the hearse, was as follows:
Executive Mansion, Washington, ID. c.,
July 2j.-To Gensral Horace Porter:

for years, can you not aid in

LSigned, ALBERT HAWKINS,
General Porter will bring this mos

the coachman's requst will De granted.
General Porter said: "There was
most devoted attachment for General
Grant on tho part of this colored man
AID the general thought much of him.
He is most faithful fellow and as
black as coal"
GRANT AS a GREAT GENERAL.
81 have heard many persons since
his death comparing General Grant
with the great generals of history"
observed General Porter this after
noon, while chatting quietly with the
the writer, but to my mind the fact
that comGarisons are sought to be
made, best proves that General Grant
was most unlike any of them"
"No," added General Porter, "he

ARRANGING TIE MILITARY PAGEANT.
General Hancock telegraphed this
morning to the mountain that he had
received instructions from the Secre-
tary of War and that the details OF the
military pageant would be attended to
as per orders.

tary of War TO take charge

formation at the earliest
moment convenient, in order that
proper and fitting arrangements
NAV be made and such as shall
meet tho wishes OF his family as eX-
pressed by Mrs. Grant through you."
Colonel Grant replied, Saying, sub
sta TALLY, that he would like
to have General Hancock
take full charge OF the body
and the ceremonies after the services
here, on August 4.
SELECTING THE SPOT.
The subject of choice of spot Tor
to be settled. The authorities in New
York CITY will doubtless exercise
discretion in this matter. Though
Colonel Grant has signified q feeling
that the location at the north end ofthe
wall, near the lake, would nearest
meet the wishes of the family, either
one end or the other Of the wall will
undoubtedly be chosen. A message
was to-day sent to the major asking ii
he could or would furnish temporary
vault for the reception Of the. remains
of General Grant, the suggestion beiug
made that the family OF the general
would prefer that his remains should
not be placed in any vault that hRu
already been used for tho reception OF
others.
THE PAY CHECK.
One month ago to- day General Grant
received his last retired pay check
from Washington, and had he lived
until to-day another would have been
at his disposal.
PROMINENT VISITORS.
General Horace Porter Will arrive
hero to-day, and Potter Palmer ana
family, of Chicago, will reach here on
Monday.

THE LAW ETED.
Five Decisions From the Attorney
Generals Office.

In answer to S. r. Miller of Renville
county, who asked several questions as to
the change of county seats, the attorney
general says: If petition is presented
signed by a majority of freeholders, county
commissioners must decide whether or not
they are freeholders; may consider evil
dence, and the fact of it being difficult does
not argue that the law is impracticable. 1t
is the business of the commissioners to find
out these facts. AS to Renville county. the
seat cannot be moved without three -fifths
vote, as it has once been located by vote.
A communication from the secretary of
the State Horticultural society asked as to
the disposition of part of its appropria-
ton. In 1881 the state made an annual ap-
preparation of 81. 900 for salaries, etc. 1t
has been the custom of the society to draw
the appropriation and set aside 5000 as a
reserve fund to pay premiums. The state
auditor has decided that this ap-
preparation is for current eX-
penses, and could not be laid aside. The
attorney general says the state auditor was
correct. The appropriation was an annual
appropriation. and that as specific objects
were enumerated, the fund must be used
ON similar items.
The county attorney of Wadena county
asked what ices clerks were entitled to
for indexing records under the law OF last
winter. The attorney general says as there
was nospecial provision in the law referred
to. the case must be governed by the law
of 1881. This clause states in effect that no
fees can be collected until the court fixes
them.
The county attorney of Otter Tail
county asked if the county was liable for
boarding expenses, fees and mileage of
sheriffs who had not been able to make
arrests called for in writs they hold. The
attorney general says the officer should re-
ceive fees for all work performed in good
faith.
In answer to the attorney of Todd county.
if sheriffs were responsible for uncOllected
taxes on the date required by law, the at
torney general answers in the affirmative,
and says it is the duty of the clerk to deduct
the amount from the sheritf's fees.

The Excelsior Literary Society De-
nOunces the Western Appeal.
The Pilgrim church was well filed last
night with members of the Excelsior Liter
airy society. who listened to an interesting
address by Rev. Mr.. Wilkins on the Rela-
ton of Science to Theology. At the con-
clusion of the discourse a very pleasing
duet was sung by Miss Cora LETTERS and
Miss Lizzie Getty.
At the close of the song. ]. W. Evans
chairman Of the special committee ap-
pointed to draw up resolutions regarding
the Western Appeal, read a set of resolu-
tons which were adopted, and a motion
that they be published in the Cleveland
Gazette. Chicago Bee and Washington
Conservative, unanimously carried. The
following extracts from the resolutions
will explain their drift:
Whereas, a certain F. D. Parker and John
Burgett together with one Sam. have been
circulating an alleged paper called the West
ern Appeal as representative of the colored
people of this city; and
Whereas The aforesaid sheet has shown by
its course and acts before the public that ii
is nothing but maligner of the colored citi-
zens and the public generally.
They have connected themselves with the
Excelsior literary society for the sole purpose
of vilifying its members and destroying its
usefulness.
Resolved. That we utterly repudiate said
J. T. Burgett and F. D. Parker's claims as
representative men, and denonnce their filthy
sheet as totally unfit to represent any body
of respectable people, or worthy the patron
age of any citizen.
Resolved, That the said ]. T. Burgett and
T. D. Parker be expelled from membership
and further recognition by this society, as
malicious mischief makers, who no more rep
resent the colored people of st. Paul than two
Hottentots.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-The Indian
Office has no informstion that the Northern
Chippewas of Minnesota have consented,
as stated in dispatch from Brainerd Minn
to move onto the White Earth reservation.
but the officials hope it is true. They say
it is too good to be true. The Indian Office
has long been anxious to concentrate these
Indians, and all the compensatory provi-
sions to induce the Indians to move have
been fulfilled, but in consideration of their
frendliness to whites the Mile Lac Indians
were allowed the privilege of
staying where they were till they consented
to move and then all the expenses
of remopal were to be paid by the govern
ment. There are in Minnesota, in different
bands of the Chippewas, 52s Indians, ac-
cording TO the last report of the commits
sioner of Indian affairs. About half of
these wear white mems dress in full. though
not exactly white mems full dress, and the
other half wear partly -civilized costume.
They occupy altogether 4, 755,716 acres of
land. The Leech Lake, Mile Lac and
WinnebagoshSh Indians will vacate and
leave for settlement by whites Ats, 1914 acres
of land when they go on the White Earth
reservation, in which there are nearly $780,

GALENA, ILL.,, Nov. 9.-A telegram was

that the war between the Chicago, Burling-

western Railroad companies had come to
an end by agreement and that a copy of the
stipulation would be forwarded here at

cago & Northwestern, by the late liti-
CATION involving ostensibly certain
rights of way in this county, made certain
valuable concessions, including the right of
way at Bluff siding, between La Crosse and

at Winona together with some other minor
concessions which the Chicago & North
western has not heretofore been inclined to

AGAINST AN EXTRA SESSION.
Ex-senator Campbell Tells of u
sentiment Against 1t.

sentiment Against 1t.
Hon. W. M. Campbell of Litchfield was
in st. Paul yesterday, being called to the
city by the meeting of the state board
of corrections and charities, of which he is
member. He said to GLOBE reporter
that he had had no notification from
Washington of his appointment to
the marshalship of this district.
He supposed the question would not be set
tied until after President Cleveland re-
turned from Buffalo. In answer to the
question as to an extra session of the legiS-
lature, he said the people in his vicinity
did not want one, and were not yet of the
opinion that one would be called. ''They
think" said Mr.. Campbell, THAT there
is really no need of one. The grain
and warehouse law they say has not been
in operation long enough yet to test its
merits and it would be folly to jump at
conclusions and try to change it materially
before it had been in operation year. They
say that the reapportionment is not of suf-
ficient Importance for one. The farmers
would not be any better protected by an
increased majority in the house. for the re-
suit would be practically the transferring
half dozen or SO members from the southern
half of the state to the northern half, so
that the agricultural interests would be no
better protected. on the whole, than they
are now. Further, the people in my sec
ton argue that the state has no
money to spend on an extra
session. The impression is that the taxes,
which are to be increased One-thrd this year,
are high enough, and they ought not to be
kept up by spending money for an extra.
The appropriations were so large last win
ter that the governor had to veto several
l. f1,,f thaarn how
think he will not take policy so widely at
variance with his policy at that time. And
so the people in our vicinity neither want
nor pYnect an extra session y
