New YORK, April 2s-Never but once
in the history of the world and never
before in the history of the United
States has such tribute been paid to
the noble dead as when yesterday,
with wondrous pageant by land and
sea, the nation dedicated the tomb that
now holds the body of its hero, Ulysses
g. Grant. 1t was an occasion more of
triumphant eulogy and national pride
than of funeral rite, for in these 12
years since first the nation mourned
for Grant the keenness of grief has
worn away and in its place there lives
in the hearts of men that hero worship
which found such tumultuous vent

Tuesday he found n cloudless dome
awaiting him. Briskly blew the north
west wind and it tossed the bunting
which from every vantage point
CLEANED in n beauty no other flag on
earth can equal. Flags were there by
hundreds of thousands; flags in the
great thoroughfares and in the mar
rowest alleys; from tenement windows
and on the staffs of public buildings;
from the stalls of street vendors and
the facades of mighty hostelries and
lofty office buildings; from the spars of
merchant ships and from the bows of
canal boats. Long before the sun had
risen the streets were thronged.
The ceremonies proper began at sun
rise, when from the tall flag pole near
the Grant tomb was flung the i'm
mense American flag furnished by the
Daughters of the Revolution. There
it will fly night and day until the
winds have worn it away. At the
same time the marines on the war
ships were piped to quarters and
landed on shore to receive the head of

AT THE TOMB.

The arrival of the official portion of
the procession at the tomb was the sig
nal for a stupendous outburst of cheer
ing from the thousands of people in the
grand stands and ON the lawns around
the monument and ON Claremont
Heights. The president and the other
guests alighted from their carriages at
the monument stands and took the
places assigned to them in readiness
for the oratorical and musical cere-
monies and stiffness reigned.
The exercises commenced with the
singing of America. A solemn silence
then fell on the crowd as Bishop John
p. Newman invoked the blessing OF
Heaven on the ceremonies. AS soon as
the prelate had taken his seat the
hymn of thanks, "Old Netherland
Folk Song" was sung by the choristers.
Another cheer arose as President
Mckinley, after the singing of the
hymn, moved to the railing of the
speakers stand to deliver his address.

CABINET MEETING
Mckinley Anxious for Action Regard
ing Hawaii

WASHINGTON, July 1S--Some of the
details being incomplete, Secretary
Bliss was unable to lay before the Cabi-
net today his proposition to revoke the
order made by President Cleveland clos
ing some pension agencies. The send
ing of big list of consular nominations
to the Senate was delayed in order that
q few names might be added.
The Currency Commission message
caused no discussion, because it is now
understood that the President is settled
in his determination to send it to Con-
eress, and, only awaits notice from the
party leaders when this can be done
without interfering with the program
arranged for the disposition of the tariff
bill.
Foreign affairs, notably the Hawaiian
situation are believed to have absorbed
the attention of the Cabinet today.
While it is stated that there has been
no sensible change in the situation, it
is known that the President strongly
desires speedy action on the annexation
treaty and thinks its approval would do
much to remove the complications now
threatened.

.FIGEL ON TRIAL
Testimony Given on a Charge of
Embezzlement

SAN FRANCISCO, July 13.-The pre-
liminary examination Of Theodore FL
gel, formerly bookkeeper for the firm of
Hoffman, Rothschild & Co., upon the
first of the charges of embezzlement pre-
ferred against him was. commenced be-
fore Judge Campbell this morning in
the presence of large number of spec
tators.
The specific charge upon which the
prosecution elected to proceed was that
of embezzling a draft for $436.36 upon
the Chico Bank. Very little progress
was made at the morning session, most
of the time being consumed in arguing
technical points raised by counsel. The
draft was, however, identified by H. L.
Smith, secretary of the Board of Trade
by whom it was endorsed and sent to
Hoffman, Rothschild & Co. Isaac A
Gellett, the assistant bookkeeper, stated
that he received the draft and turned il
over to Figel, who endorsed it, although
he was not authorized to do so by the
firm. 1t was then taken to the clearing
house. and eventually found it's way into
the First National Bank.
Edward Rothschild of New York sta ted
that Figel received salary of $3.50 per
month and was not authorized either tC
open the FIRMS letters or to use the
FIRMS sigma ture.
Chief of Police Lees unwillingly testi-
fed to the effect that he had received a
deposit slip from the First National
bank, which showed that Figel had de-
posted the amount of the draft in con-
troversy to his own credit after indors-
ing it.
Il was then shown by NJ. Zerker OF
Merced that he had delivered the sum OF
$500 to Figel for the firm of Hoffman
Rothschild & Co., and the court allowed
the prosecution to introduce the wit.

IN CONFERENCE
No Agreement Reached on Any I'm

WASHINGTON, July 13.-The repre-
sentatives of the houses of congress i'll
the conference on the tariff bill spent
busy day, devoted for the most part to
the work in the conference room. There
were occasional consultations with other
senators or members of the house On
points at issue, but these were brief 50
that comparatively little information as
TO the progress made found its way to
outsiders. 1t is known that almost the
entire day was devoted to the sugar
and wool schedules, and the best infor-
NATION obtainable was that final
agreement was not reached oD either.
Senator Platt of New York, who has
been absent most of the time since the
bill went into conference, returned and
was in close conference much Of the
day with Senator Quay.
AT one time during the afternoon the
senate and house confecees separated,

ally believed that this action on the part
Of the house men was for the purpose of
deciding upon a lire of policy on sugar,
but they refusedl to give out informatioH
Contrary to the published reports it is
positively stated that the sugar schedule
has not been agreed on and that i'll fact
al. the big questions before the confer

side or the other insisting that they shall
be held open.
Nothing will be finally closed, SO far as
matters Of Importance are concerned,
until all have been decided upon and
the conferees are ready, to come to a COM
plete agreement.
Il is believed that the wool schedule
which has occupied the attention of the
oonterees more or less today and yester
day, can now be settled whenever other
matters have reached a stage for fina.

ready to compromise the differences on
first and second-c,ass woods By making
them both dutiable at II cents, and q

of the conference, concerning which they
