morning, will take place with as little
ceremony as is consistent with propriety,
of an occasion of such gravity. The pro.
cession from the Capitol to the Gene.

opportunity for the civic and military
organization committees and citizens to
testify their respect for the memory of
the dead. The details of these arrange.

ings. The family of Gen. Logan
will extend invitations to the various
societies, military, social and Masonic,
of which General Logan was member
to attend the funeral or to send delega-
tions from their bodies for that purpose.
The vault in which the remains will be
deposited is that of Mrs. Hutchinson,
whose kindly tender of it this afternoon
was. thankfully accepted by Mrs. Logan.
Among the subjects to be discussed by
the Senate committee is the issuance of in
vitations to the President and Cabinet,
Supreme Court, House of Representa-
tives and Diplomatic Corps. Were the
Senate in session these would go out
in its name, but being recess the prece-
dents will have to be looked up. For
the same reason the two Houses will
probably not be formally called to order,
but members will attend in their indi.
vidual capacity.
The subscriptions are coming in stead
