| A SUBSCRIPTION FUND.
Captain George E. Lemon, of tho Ma
tional Tribune, this morning started q
subscription fund for the relief of Mrs. Lo-
gan with q subscription of $1,000, and
sent hundreds of invitations to General
Logan's friends throughout the country,
aeking them to contribute. The Western
Union rendered the use of it's wires in
transmitting subscriptions and responses
are now coming in rapidly, and 81 900
subscriptions have been received from
Senators Sawyer, William Walker Phelps,
John B. Drake, Chicago; George Alger,
Michigan; George NJ. Pullman and others.
The receipt in five hours from the time the
subscription was started amounted to
$4,000. All persons desiring to contrib
ute should telegraph George E. Lemon,
ing the amount of their subscriptions and
send checks or drafts at once to the order
Of J. A. Creswell, President Citizens Ma
tional Bank, Washington.
The formal announcement of the arrange
ment and completion Of details awaits and
depends upon the definite selection by the
Chicago people of suitable spot for the
tomb of the patriot. Mrs. Logan has ex-
pressed the wish that the place shall be one
which will never suffer from the eDcroach-
ment OF commerce, and population. She
refers to the siteE,f the Douglas monument,
which, when selected, was remote from popu-
lation, but is now surrounded by steam
railroads and dwelling houses, az an
-, cl so1o <4 A
suitab BILE spot, she thinks, can be found near
the entrance to South Park.
THE LOYAL LEGION.
Among hundreds of messages OF condo.
lence and sympathy sent Mrs. Logan is the
following:
WASHINGTON, December 27.-Dear
Madam: The Order of the Loyal Legion
| OF the United States desires me to express
to you it's sincere sympathy and coincidence
in this hour of your great trouble. In the
death of your ilustrious husband the
Loyal Legion has lost one Of it's most dis.
| tinguished soldiers and highly esteemed
companions. Very truly,
P. H. SHERIDAN,
Lieutenant General.

GENERAL LoGAN's FUNERAL.
Mrs. Logan received this morning long
telegram signed officially by the city clerk
of Chicago, embodying resolutions adopted
by the City Council last night. The Coun-
Gil formally requested that the burial place
of the dead statesman be selected in the
city upon which he has conferred so much
| honor in a site to be dedicated by the city
to that purpose. The Council appointed q
committee to confer with the civic and
| military organizations in regard to the
selection OF a place for the burial of the
| remains A decision is practically reached
to have the funeral in the Senate chamber
on next Friday and then convey the re-
| mains to Chicago. A few of the details OF
the arrangements have not yet been deter
mined upon. The Senate Committee, act
ing through the Sergeant-at-Arms, will
have immediate charge OF the remains.
Col. Kennedy announces that by request OF
Mrs. Logan Gen. Sheridan will be in charge
of the procession that will escort the re-
mains from Calumet place to the capitol.
CONCERNING LoGAN's FUNERAL.
t. has lust been decided that the funeral
of Gen. Logan will take place in the senate
chamber Friday and that the remains will
be inferred in the,city cemetery here till a
place of final burial is determined.
| PENSION FOR MRS. LOGAN.
The Evening Star says: Among the mem.
bers of the house who vi tied the capitol
yesterday and to-day ths suggestlon was
nsssed around that a liberal pension
should be granted to the widow Of General
logan and it met with hearty approval on
every hand. Democrats manifested az
much eaqerness as Republicans to join in
nrovidibp for the widow. The hearty man
ner in which the suggestion has been taken
hold of. renders it certain that among the
first acts of Congress upon reassemb!na
win be to pass a pension bill for Mrs
Logan. It is agreed that there would b'
eminent propriety IN sranelnl
a liberal pension, oased Sp upon
members are of the opinion that tho pen
s;on should be S., 900 per year. This j!
the sum granted to the widows OF presi
dents and though General Logan did no
occupv an office so exalted, he was recog
nized as the head representative OF tn
| volunteer soldiery. 1t is hardly probaol
. that a nension of less than 800 will b
!; voted. Il expressions of Congressman can o
taken as q criterion with regard to tn
nension. As there is no pension hst Tn
nroposition for the relief OF Mrs. toga
e considers only the military service
Ill, hc done to the letter of the law
granting a pension to her as General Loga
: xas sufferer up to his death from tn
: effect of his army experience. 1t is though
, that rheumatism was the cause OF hl
: death. and was contracted by exposure
Q The House Funeral COMMITTEES has nc
been made up yesterday. A list OF "a
members now in the city was sent to MR.
LOGAN for her to select from. 1t has nc
