CINCINNATI. July 25.-All civil, mill
tary, political and other organizations
in the city have united in providing Tor
suitable observance of the day of
General Grants funeral Beyond de-
terminlng that the meeting shall be
held in the Music Hall, the programme
is incomplete.
American gentlemen assembled this
morning at the residence of Mr.. Phelps,
American Minister, to arrange for
memorial services in London on the day
of the burial in New York of General
Grant. Cyrus w. Field proposed a
resolution to appoint a committee to
wait upon the Dean of Westminster,
and make suitable arrangements with
him for commemorative services In
| Westminster Abbey, on the Sth of
August, the day of the Interment of the
body of the General in Central Park.
Joseph R. Hawley, of Connecticut, Sec
onded the resolution, which was
adopted by a unanimous vote, and a
committee was appointed. 1t consists
of Mr.. Phelps, who is chairman; Mr..
Hawley, Mr.. Field, Senator Evarts, OF
Louisiana, George w. Smalley, Manton
Marble. B. H. Brewster, Ex-Attorney-
4 eneral; ]. S. Morgan, j. I. Lord,

wood, of New Haven. A sub-commit-
tee consisting of Messrs. Phelps, Field
and Smalley was subsequently chosen
to see the Dean and arrange to visit
him. During the afternoon the sub
committee saw the Dean, who readily
granted them the use Of the Abbey for
| the desired service.
WASHINGTON, July 25.-Continued ex-
pressions of disapproval and disap-
pointment 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
one of the most prominent officials in
the new administration to-day: The
/ burial of the General at New York, with
the ceremonies preceding it, will make
it more State than 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
the above indicated. They admit, how
ever. that if it were the wish of General
Grant or if the family have decided
preference that the burial take place in
New York, further controversy is pre-
/ cluded. This selection of Central ParI
as the place of burial rather than some
other public reservation in New Yorl
CITY is also specially criticised here, ane
the suggestion is made that the centre
of Union Square, for instance
would be a more fitting place for thu
interment of the dead hero's remains
and the erection of noble mOnumen
