Mr. McGnecon, July 28.—Day broke and on the Mountain passed without event. A$ 10 o'clock when the train arrived at the ymmit Colonel Fred Grant was one of the agera upon it. He proceeded at once and alone upon his arrival to the cottage, his brother Jesse having remained behind. The Colonel this morning repaired to his mother’s apartment, where the family gathered to hear the result of his trip to and conference in New York. He detailed his movements and explained that there seemed to be reason for the choice of a burial spot in some other place than Central Park. Riverside Park had at the time of General Grant's death been suggested on the aput of interment, and it seemed the host to the Colonel, after seeing and hearing all, to change the place of sepulcher to Riverside Park. The matter having been thus prescribed to the family the conclusion was teached in record with the Colonel's suggestions, and he at once dictated the following dispatches . UOPPICIAL ACCEPTANCE. at, McGrecor, N. ¥., July 28.—W. A. Grace, New York: Mother takes Riverside, ‘The temporary tomb had better be at the same place.” “Mr. McGrecor, N. ¥., July 28.—General R.

The intention of doing the remains in the private car of Mr. Vanderbilt has been changed, and the funeral car “Woodlawn” will be substituted for Mr. Vanderbilt's car. This car, beside carrying the remains, will furnish accommodations for forty persona, otherwise the train will be made up as pre viously stated. The Government has ordered General Passenger Agent Kendricks, of the New York Central ‘to drape the cars of the fun eral train, and it is the purpose to drape them entirely in black, relying for an im posing effect on the massing of color.

[tia ngt unlikely that the Seventh Iment of New York will be chosen and detailed to do this duty.

The site chosen for General Grant's tomb is on a sort of promontory on the highest point in Manhatanville. The outward swell of the promontory begins at One- Hundred and Twenty-Second street and the river bank returns to its regular line at One-Hundred and Twenty-Ninth street. The summit of this elevation is almost a level plateau of something more than twenty acres on the riverside. The descent is abrupt. A bus foot 200 feet below are the tracks of that branch of the Hudson River Railroad that runs into the West Thirty-Eighth street depot. On the north west is the ferry to Fort Lee, and in the north and northeast the red brick stores, hovses and manufactories of Manhattanville cluste around the base of the hill. If the observer looks to the south he has opened before him the long vista of Riverside Park, of driveways, hewn stone wills and ancient oaks and maples on the steep slopes of the Hudson. ‘The spot suggests, Revolutionary War memories—Fort Lee is opposite, the old fort in Central Park is on the southeast, Fort Washington is on the north, and the Highlands, near West Point, shut out the horizon. Beyond the Tappan See no struct ures can be erected to break the uniformity of the view, as the waterfront and park belong to the city. The temporary bomb to receive the body will be built of brick, bowie cantry AT, COMMIT, Wasurmeton, D. C., July 28.—General John B.

United States Minister Fish, at Brunsele, to day cabled the Secretary of State it fol lows: “By direction of the King, the Minis ter of Foreign Affaire has communicated to me an expression of the King’s sincere con dolence on the occasion of General Grant's death.” The President of Chili also cables: ‘In the name of the Government and the peo ple of Chili, I take part in your National grief,” A FORMIDABLE PROTEST. ‘A meeting of citizens was held tonight to rotest against the proposed burial of General Grant in Riverside Park, New York City. Among those present were ex- Congressman Desendorf, of Virginia, who presided; General Whittaker, Man. A. M. Clapp and L. Bliss. A committer of five on resolutions, consisting of A. M. Clapp, R.G. Bell, Dr. Purssell, H. J. Mohan and A. B. Cunningham was appointed. It presented Connie cumble, with resolutions, which were unaniminedly adopted, protesting against the interment of General Grant in Central or Riverside Park, New York, on the grounds that the selection of place of simusement, and recreation for this purpose will initiate “the eternal fitness of things,” and each interment will “Iocalize his acta to a single State and ity’ instead of entombing them at the tional Capital, “The Mecca of the American people, “That hia ashes should sleep on soil over which the United States have exclusive jurisdiction and con trol,” and the erection of anynument for his memory by Congress will be greatly em barrassed, if not defeated, by his interment in a locally owned round. The resolutions also aver that ‘while it is not surprising that the great commercial city of New York should cover the remains of General Grant te an additional adornment to tte pleasure neekings resorts where LUXURY, POVERTY AND VICE make their constant display, and has se cured this advantage by precipitated no tion, it ia a matter of deep mortification to the more elevated patriotic sentiment of the Nation that this important question should be determined without a wider and more deliberate consultation than sentiment. They therefore “earnestly appeal to those with whom the determination of this im portant question is reposed to consider whatever action may be taken in this be half, and suggest the ‘Soldiers’ Home in the District we the moot fitting place for the Gene General J.

Several men who have been employed in the yards of the mill cleaning up and making repairs, were set upon by the mob, James May, and an other man whose name could not be ascer tained, were badly beaten.
