the Logan residence, at the suggestion of
Mrs. Logan, for consultation in regard to
the funeral arrangements. There were
present Senator Cullom, and Representa-
tives Hit, Henderson, Rowell, Psyson,
Springer, Thomas, Townshend and Neece.

by Representative Henderson, with whom
she had been comforting. Her inelina-
tions favored funeral in the Senate
chamber after the reassembling of Con-
gress and interment in the Congressional
cemetery here. The matter was discussed,
but no definite conclusion as to the nature
of the counsel to be rendered was reached,
the subject being postponed until to
morrow. The probabilities, however, at
the time of adjournment pointed to q

nent burial.

have informally taken place and the
members of the delegation are now of
the opinion that the funeral will take
place next Friday in the Senate chamber
