-TrT PoR Ex-CONFEDEsATEs. III
There is movement on foott to have
eI Confederate soldiers represented in
the funeral procession that will follow
the remains Of Senator Logan. Many
ex-Confederates have expressed y
desire 20 participate. and it IS probable
that place will be provided for them
in the procession.
The PLACE or BURIAL. r-
During the afternoon kilograms were
received from Chicago, throwing g
measure of doubt upon the arrange
ments supposed to have been already
practically concluded for the funeral.
The Park commissioners telegrapied
that after consultation with their
attorney they were reluctantly led 10
the conclusion that they lacked the au-
thority to set apart q place for the
burial in pubic park, but that author
it's, they say, win doubtless be granted
at once by the legislature, which con-
venes next week. In the meantime,
the citizens committee of Chicago sug-
gested other arrangements, which could
be perfected without delay. Upon re-
ceipt of the above mentioned telegram.
II was decided that the funeral OF Gen
eral Logan will take place in the Senate
chamber next Friday and that the re-
mains will be placed in a vault at the
Oak Hill Cemetery here.
The day at Calumet Place has been
one OF comparative quiet. Mrs. Logan
has remained in her room almost con-
tinuously, suffering somewhat from a
sense OF WEAKNESS OF which hitherto she
had hardly been conscious, though
otherwise physically well. She has
been represented in the parlor, as here
/ tOfOre, by her son and Mayor Tucker.
while dozen OF more near personal
! friends of the family, both ladies and
| gentlemen. have been in constant at
| tendance for counsel and assistance.
The details OF the Grand Army men.
marines and soldiers, have performed
the form alities of guard duty.
Early this morning., q long telegram.
signed officially b y the city CLERK II
Chicago, was received oy AIRS. Logan,
embJdying a resolution adopted by the
city Council az a meeting held last
evening, in which a formal request
Is made that the burial place of
the dead patriot be selected in the city
upon which he has conferred 80 much
honor. During the day correspondence
was almost continually in progress be-
tween Senator CullOm, representing the
Illinois delegation. and the authorities
in Chicago, for the purpose OF reaching
definite understanding with re-
gard 10 the site TO be set apart
Tor the tomb and monument.
Until late this afternoon little doubt
was entertained that everything would
be arranged speedily and that after the
funeral services TO be held in the ct.p-
itol on Friday, the remains would be
taken to Chicago for Interment. This
arrangement seemed to lack nothing but
the fOrmality of a resolution OF assent
by the PARK Commissioners, and the
Senate committee was announced, and
the sergeant-at-arms began the pre-
hminaries of his arrangements accord
ing 10 the plan. About O'Clock,
however, a telegram from the
Park commissioners was received an
nouncing that. upon consulting with
their attorney, grave doubt had been
raised as 70 their power, except under
the authority of a special act of the
legislature. TO set apart a site in the
public park and give a guarantee that
II should be reserved in perpstuity for
~ TnNa nF
eral. however much the mem
bers of the commission might
personally desire to do so. They had
little doubt that the Legislature, when
it convened, would take the necessary
steps to meet Mrs. Logan's wishes, but
being aware of the desirability of con-
GLIDING the matter without delay, they
suggested and formally, rendered the
place st the head Of the grand Boulevard,
q spacious reservation Just st the en-
trance TO the south Park, and q slightly
spot for the proposed monument.
Tney also proposed to change the nan 0

with Others from various au-

Consideration by members OF the Him
at the same time the proposition of the
burr a in the grounds of the soldiers
home, near this city, originally favored
by Mrs. Logan. was revived and
further discussed. General Sheri-
dan, representing the board of com
missioners of the House, was
consulted and expressed doubts of the
power of the board TO act in toe abb
sence OF Congressional authority. Mrs.
Logan naturally wished that the selec-
non, when made, should be one vi ich
should leave 10 question of title to oe
Sc TED her after, and that the spot
should be one where, in fullness of time,
her own hnai resting place might be
made beside that of her husband.
As me legal points involved in these
propositions were such as seemed i'm
possible OF speedy solution. and as the
