city council last night. The council IOrm-
ally requested that the burial place of the
dead statesman be selected in the city upon
which he has conferred so much honor, in
site to be dedicated by the city to the pur-
pose The council appointed committee

THE COMMITTEE
appointed by Senator Sherman to take
charge of the remains of Senator Logan:
Senators Cullom, Stanford. Cockrell, Alli-
son. Beck. Hawley, VOORHEES,. Hampton
and MandersOE. Telegrams were received
from Chicago throwing measure Oh doubt
Upon the arrangements supposed to have
been already practically concluded for the
funeral The park commission telegraphed
that after consulting the attorney they were
lacked authority to set apart place for the
burial in the public park. but that authority
they say will doubtless be granted at once
by the legislature which convenes next
week. Upon receipt of the above men
toned telegram it was decided that the
burial of Ger. Logan will take place in the
senate chamber next Friday and that the
remains will be placed in vault at Oak
Hill cemetery here until the place of final
burial is determined. The house funeral
committee has not been made up. A
LIST OF MEMBERS
now in the city was sent to Mrs. Logan for
her TO select from. 1t has not yet been re-
turned to the speaker AS soon as the list
is returned he will announce the committee.
The chairmanship of the senate committee
on military affairs, which Gen. Logan has
held for years, will probably go to Senator
SewelI. The senate chamber has heer
draped in mourning. There is movement
on foot to have the eX-confederate sciGiers
represented in the funeral procession that
will follow the remains of Senator Logan.
Many of the ex-confederateS have expressed
desire to participate, and it is probable
that place will be provided for them in
| the procession.
MRS. LOGAN
has remained in her room almost contlnu-
ally. suffering somewhat from WEAKNESS
which hitherto she had been unconscious
of. She has been represented in the par
lOrS as heretofore by her son and Maj.
Tucker, while dozen or more OF the
nearer personal friends of the family, both
ladies and gentlemen, have been i'll constant
attendance for counsel and assistance.

guard duty. The propositions from Chi
cago were taken into consideration by the
members of the Illinois delegation who
were at hand. and at the same time the
propositions OF burial in the grounds of the
soldiers home near this Extraordinarily
| favored by Mrs. Logan-was revived and
| further discussed. Gen. Sheridan
representing the board of commits
sioners of the home. was consulted and
expressed doubts of the power of the board
| to act in the absence of congressional
authority. Mrs. Logan naturally wished
that the selection when made should be one
which should leave no question of title to
be settled hereafter. and that the spot Sc
lected should be final resting place. AS
| the time had come when some definite un-
! derstanding with regard to
THE FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS
should be reached and the formal announce
ment made, it was decided to advise that
| the remains 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 till noon Friday, during
which the public should have an OppOr-
tunity to pay tribute OF respect. At noon
on Friday the funeral will be held in the
senate chamber. after which the remains
will be escorted to Rock Greek cemetery
and temporarily remain there until
final resting place can be
| selected and tomb prepared. Mrs. Logan
having signified her assent to these arrange
ments, the congressional committee entered
upon their duty. The committee is as fol-
lows: Senators Cullom, Stanford, Cock
rell Allison. Beck, Hawley. VOORHEES,.
Hampton and MandersOn. The first for
NAL meeting will take place at 10 o'clock
tomorrow at the room of the senate com

! will take place with as little ceremony as is
consistent with the proprietieS of an occa-
| sion of snch gravity. The procession from

The family of Gen. Logan extends invita-

cusSed tomorrow is the issuance of invita-
tions to the president and cabinet, the
supreme court. the house of representatives
and the diplomatic corps. Were the senate

but being recess the precedents will have
to be looked up. For the same reason the
