At General Grants Tomb.

New YORK, May sou. S. Grant
Post, G. A. R., arranged the memorial SER
vices to-day, as heretofore, at General
Grants tomb at Riverside Park. At the
entrance to the tomb was floral arch
bearing the inscription, "Enshrined in the
Hearts of His Countrymen-" Above that
was a shield with the national colors, also
Of flowers, and this was surmounted by a
floral cross with the Grand Army motto,
.sF. c L." The interior of the tomb was
a mass of flowers and evergreens, so great
as to completely hide the casket. Chang
Yen Hoem, Chinese Plenipotentiary at
Washington, sent q floral device bearing
his name. Many G.. A. R. and other or
ganizations also sent floral contributions.
On the left side of the tomb a platform
was erected on which the exercises were
held. About 5000 people surrounded and
occupied the enclosure in front of it. Rev.
]. NJ. B. Ackley delivered the Grafton, the
Seventy-first Regiment fired a salute and
Chaplain Rev. Judson Gallagher closed
with prayer. The United States man-of-
was Galena lay in the river below the tomb
and fired five-minute guns during the ser

A Preachers Suicide.

BALTIMORE. Nd, May 2s.-On the
streets, in the clubs, everywhere, the one
theme of conversation has been the cause
Of the Rev. Henry Grecafeld Schorr's
Sunday morning suicide, as Published In
an outof-town paper, to which he Ind sent
both his correspondence and that Of the
woman he loved, as well as her name.
Schorr evidently was . peculiar man.
Taking his meals at an expensive hotel and
having comfortable rooms at St. Paufs
parish house, favorite with the fashion
able congregation Of St. Paul's, where no
WINS assistant rector. He constantly re-
fused to talk about his parents. who lived
in an humble way in an obscure part Of tho
town.
Having borrowed their savings, he was
ashamed of them. He gave many false req
sons for his periodical gloom. First friend
had committed suicide because he mad
urged him to pay q debt, then mythical
sister was seriously i'll in Brooklyn, etc.
Schorr was buried to-day.
Reporters called this evening at the lux
urious home of Mrs. Margaret NJ. Smith at
No 1910 North Charles Street, the woman
whom Schorr says ruled his life. Her ap-
pearance betrayed the fact that she has
suffered great deal recently. She looked
to be about 40 years of age.
1.-The letters published were true" she
said, .sbut Schorrs act in sending the love
letters was tho act Of coward, and was
done because Iwould never marry him. AT
tho time wrote them really did care for
him, but told him that could not marry
him. l was woman much older than MIR.
Schorr. In fact he was but boy to me.
knew nothing of his family and he would
never tell me nything about them. His
attentions won my regard and did learn
to love him, but always told him l could
never marry him. think he was crazy
and his act in sending my letters and pic
turc to the newspaper was tho act OF q
coward. Tho last paragraph In the news
paper is absolutely false, and was written
in spirit Of revenge"
She refused to part with his last letter to
the newspaper, in which he charged her
with being deceptive woman and playing
fast and loose with other mon besides him
self.

Memorial Day at Arlington.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 30.-Al,
though the weather prospects were dubi-
Gus this morning, the veterans of the late
war turned out in good force to make the
annual pilgrimage TO the Arlington Sol
diers' Home and other grounds where the
remains Of old comrades rest, and to pay q
tribute of respect and affection in the
shape Of floral offerings and suitable cere-
mouie.- There was little evidence of bust
ness activity and the spirit of the day was
tolerably well observed
The Grand Army of the Republic concen.
trated its efforts upon Arlington. Attorney
General Miller was the representative of the
administration at that place, General D. S.
Alexander was the orator of the day, and a
poem was delivered by Eugene F. Ware Of
Kansas. Appropriate music was rendered
by the Marine band, and salute was fired
by a battery of artillery.
General Sheridan's tomb was especially
decorated by the ladies of the Potomac Re
lief Corps, and the monument to General
Gabriel S. Paul was unveiled with appro
pirate address by Chief Justice Charles
Drake.
At the Soldiers Home Majors. S. Rock
wood delivered the oration and Colonel De
witt Sprague read an original poem, while
similar offices were performed at the Con
grcssional cemetery by Hon. w. w. Curry
and b. B. Fleming respectively.
Flowers were strung over General Lo
gan's tomb by q committee Of the Logar
Guard of Honor.
At St. Matthews Church mass was cello
brated at Q o'clock for the repose of the
soul of tho late General Sheridan and fol
tho soldiers who fell in battle.

Gun. For the Navy.

WASHINGTON, May es.-The ord
nance bureau of the Navy Department has
completed two Of tho l0-inch steel brcech-
loading iifios for the monitor Miantonomah.
These are tho largest and most powerful
guns yet turned out for the navy. One Of
them has been fully tested with most graf
flying results, rs it compares favorably
with tho best products Of the renowned
European ordnance works. Tho muzxlc
velocity attained was 1000 feet pcr second.
Tho range could not be determined owing
to tho lack CT sufficiently largo proving
ground, but II Is estimated ut ton miles.
Soon after the contracts are awarded for
the construction Of the now $500 ton gun
boats preparation will begin At tho Wash
ington ordnance yard for tho manufacture
of their peculiar ordnance, which 10 70 bc
made up entirely Of rapid fire guns OF ex-
trao,dinary calibro compared with the guns
OF this typo now In uss in our naval ves-
soils. Tho lightcst guns Of this kind will

NO WAR ANTICIPATED.
rhs Bsh:ing Sea Question---warIike
Rumors Discredited.

WASHINGTON, May 30.-The warliks
dispatches from British Columbia with re-
gard to expected trouble between the
United States and Great Britain over the
Behring Sea seal fisheries are generally
discredited by officers of the Navy Depart
ment. 1t is pointed out that no officer Of suf-
fciently rank high to maze him acquainted
with the English Governments purposes
would under any circumstances be SO fool
ish as to talk in the manner stated in the
dispatch from Victoria, BIC. Appointment
laval officer to-day said the United States
had no reason TO apprehend any difficulty.
Great Britain assuredly would not commit
any overtact of violence in case her sealers
we're arrested without warning this
government of its intentions. A
warning that Great Britain would
by force dispute the sovereignty Of Beh-
ring Sea has never been communicated to
the United States, and this alone showed
the improbability of the story. 1t might
ing to Behring Sea, though that was by no
means certain. Their duties there, how
ever, would probably consist in nothing
more than keeping watch on the situation,
to prevent their citizens from being wan
tonly ill-used and giving scalers good ad-
vice. If our vessels attempted anything
shat was unwarranted, it might be that the
British officers would feel called upon to
interfere. The United States send vessels
10 the Newfoundland fisheries each year to
look after American interests, and the
British vessels probably had a similar
mission in Alaskan waters, presuming that
they would go there.
