practically concluded for the frl-
neral. The Park Commissioners tele-
that, after consultation with their
attorney, they were reluctantly led to the
conclusion that they lacked the 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.
In the meantime, the Citizens Committee
of Chicago suggested other arrangements,
which could be perfected without delay.
Upon receipt of the aforementioned tele-
grams, it was decided that the funeral Of
General Logan will take place in the SEN
ate chamber next Friday, and that the re-
mains will be placed in a vault at Oak Hill
Cemetery here until place of final burial
is determined upon.

Following is the committee appointed by
Senator Sherman to take charge of the re-

tionaL Tribune, this morning started SUBJ
fund, for the benefit of Mrs Lo-
gan, with a subscription of $1,000, and sent
hundreds of invitations to General Logan's

PROPOSED PENSION FOR MRS. LOGAN.
The Evening Star says: Among the men,
bers 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 General Logan,
and it met with hearty approval on every
hand. The Democrats manifested as much
eagerness as the Republicans to joint in
ID Il.
manner in which the suggestion has been
taken hold of renders it quite certain that
a pension of at least $4,000 per year will be
voted her.
QUIET DAY.
WASHINGTON, December 2Sth.-The day
at Calumet Place has been one of compar-
alive quiet. Mrs. Logan has remained in

scious, though otherwise physically well.
She has been represented in the parlor, as
heretofore, by her son and Major Tucker,
while a dozen or more nearer personal
friends OF the family, both ladies aud gen.
tlemen, have been in constant attendance
for counsel and assistance. Details of
Grand Army men, marines and soldiers
have performed the formalities of guard
duty.

so long occupied by him is mass of black
There is movement on foot to have the
ex-Confederate soldiers represented in the
funeral procession that will follow the re-
mains of Senator Logan. Many of the ex-
Co1federates have expressed desire to

will be provided for them in the procession.
Rev. DR.. Newman is TO be the officiating
clergyman, assisted by Dr. Butler, Chap
lain of the Senate, Bishop Fowler and Rev.
DR.. o. H. Tiffany.
The transfer of the remains from Calu-
