NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-There was q

crepe streamers fluttering from the
door bell and once in awhile the face of
some of the family or friends within as
they glanced out through the window.
The callers at the house were too many
to be counted almost, but only a few
of them went inside, the majority mere
II leaving their cards. In the after
noon the two Misses Sherman went out
for short drive, but they were the
only ones in the house who left it for
any length of time during the day.
Generals Slocum, Howard and Butter
field spent the day in arranging for the
funeral, but the details were not set
tied at nightfall.
A meeting of the board of officials of
the New York State Commandery,
military organization of the Loyal
Legion, was held and an offer
of a guard of honor consisting of
companions of the commandery, to
watch over the dead hero was sent to
the family, and formal meeting of the
commandery was ordered to take place
at l o'clock this afternoon to take &C
ton on the Generals death.
About 5000 kilograms have been re-
ceived at the house since the Generals
