General Grant. Remains.

New York, April 9.-The work of op-
ening the steel casket containing the
remains of the late General L. S.
Grant, was begun to-day. The outer
case. which encloses the casket, is fas-
tened by $50 bolts, the heads of which
are nearly one inch in diameter. The
heads must be drilled through and
pounded down before the case can be
opened. 1t was estimated by the men
in charge that the work would take
three days to perform. but one of the
workmen. an expert in that line of
work, said that he though by putting in
a lot of overtime the work might be
concluded by tomorrow night. When
ever the case may be removed the
public will not be given an opportunity
to view the removal of the casket.
That will be done under cover of night
and at an hour which will not be made
public.

THE cocHIrI GRANT CASE
Argued Before the United States suprem
Court,


Santa Fe. n. NJ. April 9.-Charles II.
Toll. of Denver. wires here today
from Washington that the Cochiti
grant case was this afternoon argued
and submitted to the United States Su-
preme Court. This some l 200 miners
and capitalists. chiefly in Colorado.
have long looked forward to. The case
was advanced on the docket at the
earnest solicitation of United States
Attorney Matt G. Reynolds at the re-
quest of the miners and the opinion
held by attorneys here that Il decision
will very soon be reached, possibly by
Monday next. as little remains but to
affirm the decision Of the United States
Court of Private Land Claims. which
unanimously rejected that portion of
the grant claim covering the rich min
ing district which was discovered two
years ago. Joel p. Whitney Boston
speculator. sets up that the grant claim
covers 1O4.554 acres. including the AL
bemarle, Iron King. Crown Point. Lit
tie Mollie and other great mineral pro-
ducing properties owned by Denver
parties. The land court went deep into
the case and decided without n dissent
ing voice that the original grant con-
sisted only of some 1000 acres, four
teen miles distant from the mines and
covering merely a small valley which
was granted as corn and bean patch
TO certain parties by the Spanish gov
ernment.

GENERAL GRANTS TOMB.
The Grand Memorial Dedicated to his
Memory-A Durable Monument,

The April issue OF the Century" is
Grant Memorial Number" signaliz-
ing the dedication OF General Grants
tomb in Riverside Park. There are a
number of articles and illustrations re-
lating to General Grants career, and
General Horace Porter, who was pres
ident of the association for completing
the tomb, contributes an article de-
scribing the character and progress of
the work, and the collection of the
fund for its erection. General Porter
says:
The work is now entirely completed.
The lower portion of the tomb Is a
square structure of the Grecian Doric
order. measuring ninety feet on side.
The entrance Is ON the south side, and
is protected by portico formed of
double lines of columns, and ap-
preached by steps seventy feet wide.
The square portion is finished with
cornice and parapet, at height from
grade of seventy-twO feet, and above
this is circular supola seventy feet in
diameter, of the Ionic order, which is
surmounted with pyramidal top ter
minating at a height of $50 feet above
grade, or $50 feet above mean high
water of the Hudson river. The inter-
ior is cruciform in plan, seventy-six
corners being piers of masonry con-
nected at the top by coffered arches.
the crowns of which are fifty feet
from the tioor-level. On these arches
rests an open circular gallery of forty
feet inner diameter, eliminating in a
paneled dome 1O3 feet above the level
of the floor. The surfaces between the
planes of the faces Of the arches and
the circular dome form pendentives
which are decorated in high-relief
sculpture the work of j. Massey
Rhind, and emblematic of the birth.
military and civic life, and death of
General Grant.
The sarcophagi will be placed in
crypt directly beneath the center of
the dome. The approach to the crypt
is by stairways which give access to a
passage encircling the space dedicated
to the sarcophagi, which space is sur
rounded by square columns supporting
paneled marble ceilings and entabla-
ture. A circular opening in the main
floor gives an unobstructed view of the
sarcophagl from the floor and from the
gallery.
The time from the laying of the cor
ner-stone to the completion of the tomb
has been five years, a shorter period
than has been consumed in the build
ing of any conspicuous memorial in
history. The Bunker Hill Monument,
which cost S1JO,OOO. was not complet-
ed until seventeen years after the cor
ner-stone was laid. In the case of the
Washington monument, which cost ST.
1S7,T10. the time consumed was thirty
seven years.
