A Fund for the benefit OF Mrs.
Logan.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-Capt. Geo.
Z. Lemon, of the National Tribune,
this morning started a subscription
fund for the benefit OF Mrs. Logan,
with a subscription of 81 1000, and sent
hundreds OF invitations to General
Logan's friends throughout the coun-
try asking them to contribute. The
Western Union Telegraph Company
rendered the free use OF its wires for
transmitting subscriptions. Responses
are now coming in rapidly, and $1,000
subscriptions have been received from
Senator Sawyer, William Walter
Phelps, John B. Drake, Chicago,
Governor Alger, Michigan, Geo. M.
Pullman and others. The receipts in
five hours from the time the sub
scription was started amounted to
$4,000. All persons desiring to con-
tribute should telegraph Geo. f.
Lemon, Citizens National Bank,
Washington, stating the amount OF
their subscriptions, and send checks
or drafts at once to the order OF j. A.
Creswell, President of the Citizens
National Bank, Washington. The
formal announcement of arrangements
and completion of details awaits and
depends upon a definite selection, by
the Chicago people, Oh a suitable spot
for the tomb of the patriot. Mrs.
Logan has expressed a wish that the
place shall be one which will never
suffer from the entertainments of COM
merce and population. She refers to
the site of the Douglass monument,
which, when selected, was remote
from population, but is now surroun-
ded by steam railroads and dwelling
houses, as an example of what she
wishes to avoid. A suitable spot, she
thinks, can be found near the en-
trance to the South Park.
Consultation at the Logan Mansion
WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.-The mem
bers of the Illinois delegation in Con-
gress, who are now in Washington,
held a meeting at the Logan mansion
this afternoon, in compliance with a
suggestion from Washington for a con-
sultation. There were present, SEN
ator Cullom and Representative
Hit, Henderson, Payson, Springer,
Thomas, Townshend, and Niece. Mrs.
Logan's wishes with regard to tn e
funeral arrangements were made
known by Representative Henderson,
with whom she had been comforting.
Her inclinations favored a funeral
in the Senate Chamber after the re-
assembling OF Congress, and inter-
ment in the meantime in the Congress
sional cemetery here. The matter
was discussed, but no conclusion was
reached, the subject being postponed
until tomorrow. The probabilities
were, however, at the time of the adj
journment, pointed to a postponement
OF the funeral until Wednesday OF
next week, and a temporary interment
in the receiving vault here, pending a
decision as to the place OF permanent
burial. Since that time further con-
~ferences have informally taken place,
and the members OF the delegation are
now of the opinion that the services
will take place next Friday in the
Senate Chamber, and that the re-
mains will then Immediately be
conveyed to Chicago. Senator Sher-
man was at the mansion this after
noon, and was in consultation with
Mrs. Logan, who sought his advice
regarding the arrangements. He
has already made a selection of the
committee to represent the Senator,
but withholds its announcement until
all the arrangements shall be deter
mined upon.
