GRANT SA..l.vE.4A<IUS,


Permanent Encasement of Dead Generals
Remains Arrives at New York.
New York March 1G.-The sarcoph-
agus in which the remains of General
Grant will permanently repose in the
great mausoleum in Riverside park, has
arrived. The sarcophagus is in three
pieces, and the work OF hauling the i'm
hense mass of granite to General Grants
tomb began today. Special precautions
are being taken that the sarcophagus
suffers no damage in transit.
So far as is known no exercises of any
kind will mark the reception of the
sarcophagus at the dead generals rest
ing place.
In it's completed state the sarcophagus
weighs Is tons. The main portion, or
that section in which the casket will be
placed, weighs Az tons.
All the blocks are uniform in quality
and perfect in color. The exterior sur
faces of the sarcophagus are highly
polished, and of a rich, dark red color.
1t is much harder than the ordinary
granite, and can withstand a much
greater pressure. The treatment is
simple in the extreme the only break in
the uniform, brilliant surface being the
engraved words: ULYSSES S. GRANT.

WILL NOT VACATE
SENATOR LEWELLING SAID THEN
He WOULD MOI RESIGN.
Governor Leedv Says There il Nothing in
the State Consultation to Compel His
Predecessor to step Down and Out and
Come to Think, Why should He Anyway
Would Give the Ex-Governor's Enc
mics Chance and Maybe Lose the Place
to tho Populists.

LewelIing will not resign as state SEN
Ator from Sedgwick county. At least he
said last April that he wouldn't if he
didn't have TO and Governor Leedy says
he doesn't have to. This ough. to set
lie ii. If there Is nothing in the state
constitution to prevent him from being
state senator and railroad commission
er too and since the financial emolu-
ments Of the office of state senator are
not large enough 10 lay him liable 10
the charge of being a hog in the matter
pf Offices, why shouldn't Lewelling keep
all he's got and tell his friend the enemy
10 stand from under while he shows
his populist pluggers a trick with
hole in Ii as Milton would say. 1t would
rindicate him or at least give him as
much satisfaction as vindication. II
would keep clear out OF
the reach Of the possibility of electing a
gold-bug successor; it would pay the ex-
governor So day and give him a handy
pull with trimmings on it.
Speaking Of the assertion Of Lewelling
shat he meant to resign Governor Leedy
Gays:
He has not intimated 20 me that he
INTENDED 10 resign. / have not talked
with him about il. IIk does not need 10
resign IL he does not want 10. He can
serve in the senate and on the board OF
railroad commissioners ar the same
time. 1t is not like federal office"
Now there IS no excuse for Lewelling
to resian. That would only oDen I'D a
possible way of lessening the number Of
Pop senators IN the legislature and give

sions that Sedgwick county Populists
wanted to turn him down by giving the
