GENERAL GRANTS REMAINS
Taken From Their Former Resting Place
and Transferred to the Mausoleum.

New York, April 1.-THE body Of
General Grant was removed this after
noon from the temporary tomb which
has sheltered it for nearly twelve years
to the imposing mausoleum which is
designed to be its permanent resting
place. There was no elaborate cere-
monial, and, beyond the attendance of
the guard Of honor, the removal was
attended witl.out special incident. The
interest of the public in the event was
attested by the presence Of several
thousand people, although the hour for
the removal had not been previously
announced.
Colonel Frederick d. Grant arrived
at the tomb at 2:35 o'clock, accom-
panied by his son, u. S. Grant. Direct
ly in front OF the temporary tomb a
sort OF rough frame addition, rOOfless
inclOsure, had been constructed, and
Colonel Grant and those directly in
terested in the event gathered there.
The iron gate Of the little tomb was at
once opened and the undertakers' men
began work.
The cover of the steel case which
had held the casket was removed last
Tuesday This cover had been held in
place by several scores Of rivets, and a
create deal Of time was required to re-
move it. The first work today was to
remove the lid OF the cedar box. There
were four Wreaths and a sheaf of wheat
on this lid. There they had been FOR
nearly twelve years, but they were in a
remarkably good state Of preservation.
Directly on top of the casket and in
side the lead casing was a neatly plait-
ed wreath Of oak leaves. Colonel Grant,
who was in the outer enclosure, mad
asked for this several times and when
it was reached it was lifted out care
fully and wrapped up. Colonel Grant
explained that his daughter Julia, then
a little girl, had made the wreath her
self at Mount McGregOr.
AS soon a. the casket had been lifted
out the cedar box was carried over to
the mausOleum. The casket was placed
in the sarcOphagus at once, without
any further ceremonial. The leather
casing was sealed and then the massive
cover of the pOrphyry sarcOphagus was
lowered into place by the use OF a der
rick.

ernments.
Washington, April 17.-It is probable
that the tariff bill will be considered by
the republican caucus before it is sub
mitted to the democratic members OF the
finance committee. This course was not
pursued when the Mckinley bill was con-
sidered. but the democrats adopted this
plan when the Wilson bill was in the
committee on finance. The necessity for
caucus on the Dingley bill is because OF
the narrow margin Of votes which the re-
publicans have to pass the bill, with per-
haps no actual certainty now that the bill
can pass the senate. The demands made
by Individual and groups OF senators for
certain rates has made the republican
members Of the committee feel that the
only way united action by republicans is
to be obtained is through caucus endorse
bers present it, The present intention Of
the committee is to have the bill reported
to the senate by May 1st, although it
may go beyond that date.
Great Britain is conspicuous for the alb
sence of protests which have been made
against the tariff bill. The ambassadors
Of Germany, France and Italy, as well as
some other ministers of foreign countries,
have made protests against various fca-
tuyes of the bill, which affect their pro-
ducts, but none have been received from
the British ambassador.

Formerly Counsel for the Northern Pacific at St. Paul.

New York, oNv. 12.-John c. Bullitt, jr., of Big Stone Gap, Va, was found dead to-day in a room in the Central Railroad hotel, this city. The man had apparently committed suicide as bot tie containing laudanum was found on the floor. A note was found addressed to his brother, Joshua F. Bullitt.
 MT. J. R. McMurran of 16 West 31st street, this city, an intimate friend of MT. J. c. Bullitt said tonight: q can not imagine why he. did it. The only reason that can be given is the past three or four weeks of financial depres- sion, which he passed through. His home is in Duluth, Minn. He was counsel for the Northern Pacific rail- road at St. Paul prior to moving to Duluth. Five or six years ago MT. Bull lit married Miss Francis Western of St. Paul. About a month ago Bullitt came to New York, largely because of my repeated urgings. I knew his tall ents would never be recognized in Du- luth and convinced him he would make his mark here. He was arranging for offices and only three days ago told me he was about to take out his license here"

1AN UNEXP ECYED PRACTICE.
Lined Up Against the Scrubs on Sloppy
 Field,

Cambridge, Mass. Nov. 12.-With the change in the weather which came this afternoon came a change of Coach Forbes mind Contrary to expectation, the Harvard first eleven and the substi- tutes were called out for practice at half-past three o'clock. The practice on the regular field was limited to catching and returning the ball on the kickoff. The ball usually went to Haughton, who caught it invariably and sent it back for sixty or seventy yards. The men were spared percepti- bly, on account of the sloppy condition of the field, and there was no effort to practice sharply.
 Haughton and Dibblee stayed out Q few minutes after Trainer Lathrop sent the rest of his precious charges in to dress and Haughton practiced goal kicking against the wind Dibblee held the ball for him, first to one side of the goal then in the middle, then on the other side. Every one of the twenty five tries succeeded, and it may be fair ly inferred that Haughton and not Gar rison will do the goal kicking to-mor- row. The men in the regular makeup seemed full of ginger and in good con- dition. Both Cabot and Donald have got almost entirely rid of their limps, and the prospect of their being able to last out is much better.
