Breaking Ground for the Grant Mon
umenf.

NEW YORK, April 20. -Thousands
Of people assembled in Riverside park
yesterday to witness the ceremony at
tending the breaking of ground for the
erection Of monument to the late
General Grant.
The weather was cool and clear with
bright sunlight 1t was the sixty
ninth anniversary OF the birth OF Cen
eral Grant and was therefore selected
by the Grant Monument association as
the most appropriate occasion of the
ceremony. Elaborate preparations had
been completed for fitting observa-
ton of the occasion. Charles Ii. Free
man, department commander of the
Grand Army OF the Republic for the
state OF New York, presided and Off
ciated over the ceremonies. He, with
his own hands grasped u spade at the
appropriate moment and dug the first
from the mound upon which the mon
ument to the hero of Appomattox is to
be reared. Hundreds of the veterans
of the war who loved and even now
worship the memory OF that hero par
ticipated in the ceremonies.
Shortly after o'clock the veterans
began to assemble. They were soon
joined by General 0. o. Howard and
company of infantry and battery of
artillery. The navy was represented
by Admiral Braine and his staff. The
veterans and the regulars under Gen.
eral Howard at once took up posi-
ton. forming q circle around the
mound. The preliminaries were qui-
city and simply effected. There was
no marching or counter marching and
the strains OF martial airs were en-
tirely missing.
The members of the Grant Monu-
ment association ana guests of the day
were received at the Claremont hotel
just directly north of the mound by the
Alexander Hamilton post.
After the preliminaries OF the re-
ceptlon were finished the members of
the association and their guests were
escorted to larger platform which
had been erected near the mound and
seats were provided them. This plat
form accommodated about l, 900 people.
On 1t were also seated the members OF
the Grant family, including Mrs. Nellie
Grant-Sartoris, who recently arrived
from England. The steamer Atlantic,
which lay in the Hudson directly
opposite the tomb, fired a salute in
honor of the dead general. The ex-
ercises began with an overture by the
Marine band. Rev. DR.. Clark Wright,
chaplain on the staff of Commander
Freeman, then led in prayer. The
prayer was followed by the singing OF
the Star Spangled Banner" by a
large chorus, under Silas Pratt. the
well known American composer.
General Horace Porter, who was
then introduced, delivered the ora
ton.
This was followed by the singing OF
America, by the chorus and audi
ence. Tho ceremonies ended with
laying OF the corner stone of the mon.
ument and the benediction of the chap.
lain.

The Sunday question has received
much consideration of late in the leg
islativc bodies of France Germany and
Hungary. and the conclusion reached
generally is that the welfare of society
dictates that one day in the seven
should be set apart and protected by
law as day of rest from labor. Wheth-
err this day shall be Sunday or another
was a question of debate in both the
French legislature and the Hungarian
diet; for neither wished to treat the
observance of the first day Of the week
as n religious obligation.

state commerce commission in a
lengthy decision finds in favor OF .Ju-
cob Shamberg in his complaint against
the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
and New York. Chicago & St. Louis
roads. Sham berg complained that a
certain firm of cattle dealers in New
York who procure cattle on large
scale from Chicago ran a large num-
Der OF improved stock cars. The COM
mission finds that on these ears car
riers pay the company mileage. loaded
or empty; pay 80 cents for loading
each car with cattle and also yardage
at the rate OF 81 cents per 100 on all
cattle hauled. The amount of these
rebates more than pays the entire cost
of improved stock cars within two
years after operations commence with
them. leaving the owners still oper-
ating them with all the above advan.
tages in rates and facilities. The com.
mission holds that this is unlawful
preference ana violation of the in
terstate commerce law.
