THE REMAINS TO LIE IN STATE AT THE CAPITOL TO
MORROW AND FUNERAL SERVICES TO BE HE'LL
| THERE FRIDAY.
| IL was still undecided this morning where tht
nnal resting place of Gen. Logan's remains will be
Uhtli the dispatch from the park commissioner
| Oh chicago, given in yesterdays STAR, was re
| celVed announcing that they had no legal
authority, without action by the legislature Il
| designate site for the tomb at the entrance O
| Soutn park, 1t had been practically decided that
the remains should be taken to Chicago. This dis
| patch threw the matter back into uncertainty
The Illinois delegation met at Calumet place about
| O'CLOCK yesterday afternoon, and, in the light o.
this dispatch began anew to discuss the selection
OF burial place. Mrs. Logan's preference being
| for the Soldiers Home at Washington, inquiries
were made as to that site and it was found tina,
the same legal difficulty stood in the way Of this
| selection. Gen. Sherman was OF the opinion that
the authority Of Congress would be necessary. 1t
was nnally decided that the remains should be
taken to the rOtunda OF the capitol on Thursday
there to lie In state, watched over by the guards OF
honor from noon OF that day until noon Of Friday,
during which time the public should be given an
opportunity to pay its last tribute OF respect;
that at noon Friday the funeral services should
be ned In the Senate chamber, after which the
remains should be escorted to the Rock Greek
cemetery and temporarily placed in the vault OF
MIS-. Hutchinson, TO remain until the final resting
place shall be selected and the tomb prepared.
Mrs. Logan Signtfed her assent to these arrange
mentS
Rev. Dr. J. P. Newman is to be the ofIiciating
clergyman at the CAPITOL assisted by DR.. Butler,
chaplain OF the Senate; Bishop Fowler and Rev.
DR.. o. H. Tiffany. The transfer of the remains
morning will take place with as little ceremony as
Is consistent with the proprieties Of an occasion
OF such gravity. The procession from the capitol
to the cemetery on Friday, however, will afford an
opportunity for civic and military organizations,
committees and citizens to testify their respect to
the memory OF the dead. The family of General
LOGAN extend q Eario societies
military, social and masonic, of which General
Logan was member to attend the funeral or to
SEND delegations from their bodies for that pur-
pose Among such societies are the Grand Army
OF the Republic, the Illinois COmmandery of the
Loyal Legion, the Veteran Union league, the Union
veteran club the Union League club, OF Chicago;
the Chevalier Bayard Commandery OF knights
Tempar and the oriental Consistory.

posed Of representatives OF the army, navy, Grand
