sour attorney, Mr.. Fuller, advises ne
tnat the park commissioners cannot un-

THE FUNERAL TO DIE FRIDAY.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-During the
afternoon kilograms wee received from
Chicago, thro wing measure of doubt
upon the arrangements supposed to have
been already practically concluded for
the funeral. The park commissioners
teleeraphed that alter consulta-
ton with their attorney they
were reluctantly led to the conclusion
that they lacked authority to set apart a
place for the burial In public park, but
that authority, thev say, would doubtless
be granted at once by the legislature,
whiCh convenes next week. In the
the citizens committee OF
Chicago suggested other arrangements
which could be perfected without delay
Upon receipt OF the above mentioned tel.
egrams it was decided that the funeral Of
Gen Logan shall take place in the senate
chambe next Friday, and that the re-
mains will be placed In vault at DAB Hin
cemetery here until the place of final
burial is determined on.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S The Evening
Star says: "Amnng the members Of the
house who visited the capitol yesterday
and to-day the suggestion was passed
around that liberal pension should be
granted to the widow Of Gen. Logan, and
it met with hearty approval on every
hand. Democrats manifested as much
eagerness as Republicans to join In pro-
vidiug for the widow, The hearty
manner in which the suggestion
has been taken hold OF renders II quite
certain that among the first acts Of con-
gress upon resssembing will be one TO
pass a pension bill for Mrs. Logan. It is

in granting liberal pension, based upon
Gen. Logan's military services.
Some members are OF opinion that
the penson should be $4,000 per
year. This is the sum granted ,he
