take action upon the death of General
Rosecrans. All members were present and
at 7:45 o'clock President Silver called the
meeting to order. In stating the purpose
of the meeting he said that another Of the
greatest generals who ever defended the
flag had responded to the last roll call,
and he paid an eloquent tribute to the
worth of the deceased as a soldier and a
citizen. 1T is but fitting that this coun-
ell take some action with reference to the
death of SO great man, and will offer the
following resolutions:
The resolutions were handed to the clerk
and are as follows:
Whereas, in the death Of General William
8. Rosecrans the nation has lost brave de-
fender, California one of her most distin-
guished citizens, and Los Angeles stead
fast friend;
Resolved, that the council of the city of
Los Angeles give public expression to their
sorrow at the passing away of the gallant
soldier and patriotic citizen and tender to
the bereaved family assurance of our
heartfelt sympathy.
Resolved. that as a mark of respect, the
flag over the city hall be displayed at half
mast until after the funeral.
Resolved, that the use Of the city hall is
hereby rendered for the purpose of having
the remains of the deceased lie in state.
Resolved. that these resolutions be en-
tered upon the records Of the city council
and a copy be transmitted to the family of
the deceased.
AS soon as the resolutions had been read

The question was put and they were, of
course, unanimously adopted. The coun-

old soldiers vitality asserted itself and for
the past week he had been lowering be-
tween death and a prolongation of his Ill
ness, not between life and death, for life
was out of the question ten days ago.
Immediately after death had relieved the
sunerings OF the general a telegram was
sent to Orr & Hines In this city, and they
at once went to Rosecrans and brought the
body to their undertaking establishment
In this city. There 1t was embalmed care
fully. for a week or more will elapse before
1t Is finally inferred.
There are so many persons and orgauixa-
tions whose convenience 1t IL desired to
consult in the matter Of the funeral that
the funeral arrangements have not been
made. They will be completed this morn
Ing and will be Immediately made public
The city council has rendered the use Of
the city hall as place at which the re-
mains may lie in state but It Is hardly
probable that the offer will be accepted.
The more probable course will be to let
the body lie in state at the cathedral prob
apaiy from Tuesday until wednesday.
Then the body will probably be shipped
east, but to just what point has not been
decided. 1t is considered likely that the
body will be finally inferred in Arlington

CHOSE A SOLDIERS LIFE


| General Rosec1ans was born In King
ston. Ohio. September 6, 1919. Choosing the
| life of a soldier, he was educated at West
Point, whence he was graduated July l.,
1842. Until April, 1S43. he served as lieuten-
ant in the United States corps of engi-
neers. After that he was assistant to Col.
de Russey at Fortress Monroe. From 1s43
to 1S47 he was assistant professor at the
| military academy at West Point. He was
then in charge of the fortifications at New
port. In 1852 he was civil and constructing
engineer in the navy yard at Washington.
He resigned in 1852, and until 1861 was en-
gagged as consulting engineer in the manu-
featuring business. In that year Rosecrans
was commissioned chief engineer Of the
| state of Ohio, with the rank of colonel.
The same month he was commissioned
colonel Of the United States volunteer IN
| fantry. In this year he was also commits
| stoned brigadier general of the United
States army and held that rank until 1867,
| when he came to California.
PRAISED FOR HIS BRAVERY
During the war General Rosecrans was
conspicuous for his military skill and his
courage. He was next in command to Gen.
Mcclellan in West Virginia. His brigade
won the battle of Rich Mountain and es-
| tablished the supremacy of the Union in
the state. He was commander of the de-
partment of the Ohio, and his services were
acknowledged by the legislatures of West
Virginia and Ohio in unanimous votes of
thanks.
Succeeding General Pope as commander
of the army of the Mississippi General
Rosecrans was victor at the battle of Iuka,
September 10. 1862. He was commissioned
major general Of volunteers on August 16,
1862. On October and 4, 1862, he won the
battle of Corinth. A short time after this
he was relieved of his command and or
dered to Cincinnati. On October H. 1862
he was given command of the Fourteenth
army corps and also Of the department of
the Cumberland.
While holding these positions he forti-
fled Nashville and Murfreesboro, won the
battle Of Stone River, made the campaign
of Tullahoma and expelled the confeder-
ates from Mississippi. He fought the bat
tie of Chickamauga September 10 and 20,
and took and held Chattanooga. AS COM
mander of the department of Missouri, he
repulsed General Price and his invading
army.
SERVED IN THE HOUSE
At the most critical moment during the
battle of Chickamauga General Rosecrans
dashed into the hottest of the fire to rally
the men of Davis command, who had be-
gun to waver before the terrific assaults
of superior numbers of the enemy. A
young staff officer who accompanied him
begged him to retire to a safer place, and
not expose himself to almost certain
death. To the expostulation of the young
officer the general replied:
'Never mind me, boy, but make the sign
of the cross and go i'm
In 1867 he was mustered out of the vol
unteer service and resigned his position in
the army. He declined the superintendent
cy. of the mint at San Francisco, and re-
fused the Democratic nomination for gov
ernor Of California. General Rosecrans
was a representative in the Forty
and Fotty-eighth congresses, and register
of the treasury,
