TU« Remains Lie in State—The Removal to the Train Which Starts for New York.

ALBANY, August 5.—The files of people which began passing the remains of General Grant in the senate corridor at the capitol, when the doors were first thrown opon yesterday afternoon, had not diminished at midnight. The solid tide of visitors, entering from Washington avenue, split at the foot of the casket, and in two tiles streamed out through the State street portals. Until 11 this morn ing showers fell, but the throng had been maintained without diminution. After 1 o'clock the crowds lessened and, at^ o'clock the guards on duty by the coffin began to relax and stand at ease. Aftef 2 o'clock the numbers were less and less, until at 4 o'cltfck the throng had sunk to a succession of stragglers. So few were there that more time was permitted to visitors to view the remains.

There was a comparative respite until 5 o'clock, when the stragglers were reinforced, and when it was 6 o'clock^ 54,200 persons had viewed the remains, and the solid tide was again flowing and the two streams of visitors were surging past the c&skcti

The line outside the capitol building increased with the hours until at 10 o'clock the people, four abreatt, walked down Washington avenue a full block, to where the coming throngs were formed in line by a strong force of police.' At 10 o'clock it was estimated that the remains were being viewed by 100 persons per minute, and that up to that hour 00,000 persons had seen the face of the dead general.

The train from Saratoga yesterday was mail? up of only nine cars. Those prepared for the New York committee of 100 will increase the number to eleven. "While the remains ha've lain in state in Albany the funeral train has been safely, guarded in the West Albany shops, and will be until called out to convey the remains to the metropolis at noon to day. Speculators have made efforts to secure possession of the catafalque and tuneral car after the remains depart. An offer of $5,000 has been made for the catafalque. As they are the property of the national government, however, it is not likely that relic hunters will obtain them. The steel casket built at Troy was completed last evening at 6 o'clock. Thousands of people have visited the works during the past few days. Night and day the work has progressed and neither time nor expense has been spared to complete the work successfully. The casket was shipped this morning from West Troy,

At the executive mansion the sons of General Grant, with Doctors Douglas and Newman, breakfasted quietly with the governor. The morning papers were afterward scanned in silence by the oarty, the voluminous details calling forth no comment of the sons, except among themselves. The day had dawned bright, and from the country side farmers and their families had come in early to see the great dead. Trains east and west added to the number of strangers in the city, and the morning's boats brought many more. The committee of 100 prominent citizens of New York City, appointed by Mayor Grace to represent that city at Albany and to accompany the remains from this city to New York,

the remains have arrived. Across the- lapel ot Bie black coat of eacli member of tile committee is a white satin badge, at the top of which are the' words "City of New York." Underneath this the arms of the city, and at the bottom "General Grant." The' committee wear white hats with black bands. The delegation will assemble in the City hall this morning and be assigned places in the procession to the railway station.

The undertakers and embalmers who liavfi immediate charge of the body of the dead general are alert and not a little anxious to-dav. The jolting of the body over the cobble-stone pavements on its passage to the capitol had no good eflecl. The lower jaw of the general's face is being kept in place, it is believed, by strong rubber bands. The face, as described last night, has the same ghastly pnpear ice. Every effort and means known Ito their craft is being employed th« embalmers and undertakers to

by vik pret^rve remains ID such condition as will make it both possible and proper to display them in New York. Those who

are

in charge say that there is no doubt but this will be dote. But there is some ground for apprehension. The remains will doubtless be displayed to-night in the city hall, New York, but obviously this is contingent upon the care exercise*, in transporting the remains over the pavements of New York.

At 10 -30 this forenoon the capitol doors were swung shut. The compact line of waiting visitors which extended several blocks were Bhut off thus, and those who Jiad entered were permitted to pass rapidly out, when the State street doors were

closed,

and none but the guard of honor

from U. S. Grant post, Wheeler post of Saratoga, and the six men of the military order of the Loyal Legion were allowed to remain. The undertaKer now took charge, and, so far as possible, prepared the remains for the last stage of the journey. Outside the capitol building, in the park, the military and other organizations were Jorut ing at their stations, and many companies were filing to the side streets, whence to

Eleven o'clock had passed, and it was a half-hour later when the great doors ot the-capitol swung open on the State street aide and the guard of honor from U.S. Grant post were seen by the waiting crowds with the regains inside the com_ dor. At this moment jhe guard ol honor mored out into -Uw saplign* to the slow strains of music anthe sound of trumpets ot the regulars upon the upper steps of the copitol, thirteen men touching the casket and so surrounding it and almost hiding it from view.

blare of trumpets rang out

and the procession started at a measured pace down State 'street, the various organizations falling in to'form the procession. Reaching Broadway amid the dull boom of cannons and the. tolling and chiming of bells in the steeples, the march througfi Broadway to Steuben street, and thence to the depot, was everywhere densely thronged. The sons of General Grant and their companions of yesterday were driven to the depot, where the long black funeral train was awaiting its burden. General Hancock and M. Kendrick were in charge, and at the request of Assistant Adjutant Gen eral Asa Bird, Gardner F. W. Mack, the Associated Press representative^ assumed charge of the car of public information. Guns boomed while the remains were placed in the car "Woodlawn," and the bells tolled slowly. The committee from New York entered their cars, the regulars were quartered and the great train started.

The|remains were viewed in Albany by 77,200 persons. FROM ALBANY TO NEW YORK.

Scenes and Incidents of the Trip—The Crowds at Points Along the Way. ALBANY, N. Y., August 5.—The train was constituted and was occupied as follows: .First, the locomotive second, the funeral car, "Woodlawnthird, the jgage car fofirth, the sons of the general, with the Rev. Dr. Newman and Dr. Douglas fifth," General Hancock and staff sixth, Governor Hill and staff and the committees of the house and senate, twenty-five in number seventh and eighth, the New Y.ork committee of 100 ninth, the car of public information tenth and eleventh, the regulars under command of Colonel Beck and Major Brown. The eleventh car was not needed, and was cut off.

At the instant the train started a dirge came up to the ears of all in the train from the band of the Jackson corps that stood in line and saluted. Hundreds of persons standing nearest the tracks laid coins on the rails to have them flattened beneath the wheel of train that carried General Grant on its last journey. On the roofs of the houses in the vicinity hundreds witnessed the start and as the black train rumbled across the long bridge over the Hudson it was between two dense lines of people who filled the foot paths on* either side. There was no clank pf bells. No scream of whistle only the dull rumble of the wheels beneath the memorable train. Across the river were .crowds of people. The.shops and stores and factories had closed their places of business. All who work and those of leisure seemed to have come out to stand with uncovered heads to be part of a scene never to be enacted again. The long sweeping curve was rounded and the black train straightened and level with the Hudson on its waj to the metropolis. Looking back from the engine cab, as the trailing train swept around this curve at Greenbush, the. impressive effect was thrilling.

Hudson, too, paid its respects to the passing dead, with hundreds of persons at the station, which was draped with signals of mourning anjl the report of a gun was heard from somewhere back on hills. The hot sunshine was being tempered with snowy and thunderous looking clouds, that moved up from behind the blue crests of Ihe Catskillu to shade the "hotable train with their canopy. The cloud shadows took the place of the sun's brightjefiection on the boson of the river. The mountains were wheeling nearer and nearer as the train rolled onward twenty or thirty miles an hour. The purple shadows under the brow of the mountains to which the dead of to-day had thought to have gone this month were deepening as the clouds sailed higher into the blue sky. Away across the river, on the foot hills of the Catskills, a hotel heavy with flags and dense with forms of people grew into view. The station of Catskill was just ahead, a gun boomed a salute, and a white puff of smoke floated out over the river. There were many people along the tracks on either side. The little atation witlfmourning tokens was hurried by. The speed was increasing, but the long dark train swept arouhd curves and over levels steadily and smoothly. Out on the river there were many little boats and lunches, and some yachts with ensigns tipped with black. Each bore people with heads uncovered, and all these tokens of respect were not unheeded by the sons of the dead, while most of the time they sat in silence with their eyes on the river and the mountain peaks bevond. Occasionally

Col. Grant turned to nis brothers or to Dm. Newman or Douglas and feelingly remarked some little demonstration of a group or at a hamlet where the people hail mad$ a show of their sympathy.

Seven weeks and a day ago, when General Grant was riding up the river to Mount McGregor, the colonel had called his father's attention to the spot where his great grandfather had led the forlorn

hope of the storming party of patriots who opened the way for Anthony Wayne in days long ago. Then the general had smiled and peered through the window at the point named to him. To-day- Colonel Grant quietly referred to the incidf •, but there was one who then heard Jo

The funeral train had again quickened speed, but it was overtaken by a storm, which prevailed with much force for tea minutes. Then the clouds broke and the rain ceased. Peekskill went by at 3:43, Sing Sing at 4:01, TarrytQwn at 4:11, Dobs Ferry at 4 :19. At Yonkers military was drawn. up at the depot and thousands were waiting. The Gran a Central clock dial marked 5 clock. The train was still and on time. -General Grant's last journey was ended, and Irom the start there had been no clang of bell nor sound of whistle. THE METROPOLIS REACHED.

TUe Procession Which Escorted the Remains to City Hall, Where They Lie in State.

NEW YORK, N. Y.. August 5.—The hurryin crowds sought shelter from the driving rain under the eaves of the Grand Central depot twenty minutes before 5 p. m., deploring the mischance that would turn the parade into a weary tramp through a driving storm. Their fears were groundless, bright skies showed in the west when the funeral train, rolled into the depot. Military method had indeed proved infallable. The escort was ready an I at the door promptly at the stroke of 5. The dark clouds had rolled over and the sun broke forth, illuminating the glass-covered arch as the train moved in. Its ravs fell upon the silver mounting of the coffin, purple covered, and with the single wreath of oak leaves placed over the heart of the dear father by the children's hands. Resting upon the. lid, it fell upon the wrinkled faces of the veterans, who carried it tenderly as a loved child from thrs car to alight posh-car brought down from the Woodlawn for the purpose, and drew it up the inclined platform and across to the west side of the depot and to the vehicle that was to be the last on which'the body would ever ride.

With them walked six of the Loyal Legion and two Grand Army men. Gen, Hancock and his suite passed through the gate into Forty-third street, where horses were waiting ahead of the coffin, then galloped to fhe head of the procession on Fifth avenue below Thirtyfourth street. The three sons of General Grant also left the depot quietly. AH the others who had come with the train followed the remains out in double order. Tiie citizens' committee of 100, led by ex-Mayor Cooper and ex-Governor Cornell, ex-Mayor Franklin Edson and' Jackson S. Schultz walking next, followed the regulars. Behind them Governor Hill and General Farnsworth, his glittering staff, and in their turn the committees of the house and senate at Albany.

In Forty-third street the .catafalque waited. Eight steps led up to the jaised platform, upon which the veterans sat down the coffin with its wreath of oak. It bore no other mark or ornament save the golden plate. Their duty done the veterans stepped down and took their stand beside the catafalque. The clash of troops presenting arms and the mournful strains of a dirge played by the government band had greeted the appearance of the casket in the doorway. Files of soldiers of the Seventy-first were drawn across the street and on the opposite curb from the portal to the catafalque. As the casket' was borne between them the teeming crowds behind the militiamen uncovered, and the mellow sunlight fell upon thousands of bowed head, Tht a the heavy tread of the regulars broke the stillness. They marjhed up to take their places beside the catafalque. Twelve colored men seized the reins pf the twelve horse3 that were shrouded in black like thejaj^rse, and .standing beside them signal.

After await .df an hour the procession started, the head of the cortege far down Fifth avenue. When the order was given to move the stalwart figure of General Hancock was in the lead. A block in front of the file twenty mounted policemen cleared the streets. Every stoop and sailing that might furnish a point of observation was occupied. Every dismantled lamp-post had its tenant, and on telegraph and electric light poles boys hung like knots on a rope. Everywhere as the coffin passed, heads were bowed, the huge -crowd, silent and dSsgolutely voiceless. From far ahead was .heard the quarreling of the police and crowd, but where the procession passed all was still save for the steady tramp of the marchers, the rumble of heavy guns, the roll of muffled drums and the mournful dirges of the bands.

When the procession arrived at the park after 7 o'clock space on the plaza directly in front of the steps leading up to the heavily draped portico of the City hall had been kept clear by the police. General Hancock and his staff moved into the park followed by the Twentysecond regiment, ascended the steps and passed into the building. Here beneath a canopy of black with which the ceiling of the hall were covered he was met by Mayor Grace and escorted to the mayor's office. A moment later the carriage containing the Grant party rolled up

day in tbe purple casket, where men in 1 tenderly lifted the conin from its resting uniform, with folded arms, watched over place and bore into the City him in his rest, and all the time the sombre train was rumbling onward toward the great city by the sea, where a million hearts were awaiting his coming.

Poughkeepsie was coming in view around the curve, where the little pilot engine occasionally could be seen with its ten minutes' lieadwayT Rhinebeck had gone by at 2:13 p. m., Staatsburg at 2:22 p. Hyde Park at 2:30, and when the traift rolled through the throngs at Poughkeepsie, the dial marked 2 :45 p. in., and the funeral train%as on time.

Lines of people were everywhere to be seen, all wvwut in attitude. As the train passed uu Coldspring had been passed and West Point was only six minutes away when Colonel Grant, General Porter and others in the par took seats on the river side. The train

through a deep cut just north of Garrison's, which is a railway station for West Point. Suddenly the report of cannon shook the heavy atmosphere. The speed was slackened as die station was neared. Again there was a heavy sound from the gun. The train's speed lessened gradually as it emerged Irom the cut, ana hundreds of people were seen lining the way on either side. Again the report of the gun shook the still air that before the coming storm was almost painfully hushed. Then, at 3:27, the train rolled slowly past tbe little station. At Garrison's, and there was shown tribute from his eld student home to the dead soldier along the side of the railywy before the station, the cadetsfrom West Point were drawn up in line at "pregeat arms." All the officers of the post were near With uncovered heads, and the poet band, with m?%d drums, was playing "-Sweet Spirit, Hear My The strains were not loud, but subdued, and they blended with tb^mutteriug thunder over the river, *md all the while at intervale of five seconds 5ame the sound

Di. Douglas, Rev. Dr. Newman and General Porter were the first to alight. After them came the funeral car.

ere beneath a catafalque the men wiTO bore the coffin laid down their burden. Colonel Grant. U. S. Grant and Jesse Grant, dressed in black, followed the body into the hall. Then came the committee of 100, representing the city of New Yor'f, the legislative committee, members of 'he common council of Albany and othirs. '1 tie body was then taken into a private room by the undertakers and prepared for public view. Then, at the request of Colonel Grant," Lieutenant Colonel Floyd Clarkson placed upon General Grant's breast a decoration of the Loyal Legion of Honor, and Senior Vice Commander Johnson, fastened by its side a medfil of t'e G. A. R. Mayor Grace, accompanied 7 two ladies, viewed the body. The guard of the U. S. Grant post stopped about the .^coffin on both sides. The Legion of Honor guard stood at the head, and members of the National guard were distributed about the corridors.

When the gates were opened a longlineof people, shut in by files of policemen, passed into the portico, and after viewing the remains passed out by the rear door of the hall.

General Hancock formally delivered the body to the city authorities early in the evening. Hereafter the police of the city are responsible for its keeping,

ENGLAND'S EGYPTIAN POLICY,

The Government'a Policy is" to Put Egypt on a Firm Basis ot EAernal.De, fence and Internal Administration.

LONDON, Aug. 5.—Mr. Henry Labouchere, radical, in the house of commons this afternoon, moved, that the house reject the appropriation bill until the present government explain their Egyptian policy. The terms upon which the government had issued the Egyptian loan, said Labouchere, were a public scandal. Sir Michiel Hicks Beach, chancellor of the exchequer, replying for the ministry, said that government had sent Sir Henry Drummond Wolff as special envoy to the sultan. The last five years had greatly increased Engljmd's obligation toward Egypt, while the government must refuse to state at present what instructions Sir Henry Drummond Wolff carried with him, or what the object of his mission was. The speaker could state in general terms that the "government's policy is to put Egypt on a solid footing with regard to external defense, finance and internal administration. Our policy is to gradually give security aud freedom to Egypt's independent action in the future. The chancellor also said he could at present make no statement regarding the question of evacuating Egypt, but concern ing the defenses of the country and tbe position of affairs at Suakim, he

CHOLERA IN PARIS:

English and'American Visitors Fleeing the Place—Thirty Deaths Yesterday. PARIS, August 5.—Thirty persons died of cholera here yesterday. Death follows soon after the victim is attacked. The municipal authorities are inactive. The authorities of the city and all the news papers, except the Cri Du Peuple and the I adical organs, refrain from mentioning the appearance of the disease in Paris, fearing its announcement would frighten away English and American tourists, who are thronging the city. Americans have been warned, and are going either to England or Switzerland.

CARTAGENA, August 5.—Cholera has for some time existed in the jail here, but every efiort has been made to suppress outside knowledge of the fact. Yesterday it leaked out that no less than 200 of the prisoners in the jail were down with the scourge. The discovery produced a fearful panic among the other convicts, and they rose in revolt, and made the most desperate effort to break away from- the prison. They were, however, finally overpowered by the soldiers, and compelled to return to their quarters. ,.

MADRID, August 5.—There were 4,232 new cases of cholera and 1,551 deaths in Spain yesterday.

It is supposed in official circles that the objectof the article is to prepare the people for a large increage in the military budget. All the German newspapers, following the Gazette, dwell upon the fact that the approach of France and Russia toward each other is coincident with increasing good will between England and Germany. The rector of the university of Berlin, at a celebration yesterday in honor of the founder, Frederick William in the following words: "Long Jive peace. Should, however, the arrogance of our neighbors pass from daring words into daring de^ds, her will learn that the old spirit „stiU lives."

Kxonerated, But He Was Careless. LONDON, August 5.—Lord George Hamilton, first lord of the admiralty, in one of the first official statements made after his party, came into power, intimated, the public thought,-that he had discovered frauds in the admiralty accounts. The house of coipmons appointed a committee to examine the circumstances upon which Lord George Hamilton based his statement. The committee to-day handed a report exonerating Lord Northbrook from all -imputation, except that of carelessness.

LONDON, August 5.—There has recently been a startling increase of outrages of girls of tender years. In a single day six miscrear.ts were convicted at Liverpool, and other cases are reported elsewhere. The increase is attributed to the influence of the Pall Mall Gazette's recent exposures. The Gazette contends that there has been no increase, but that cases of outrage are simply brought into greater prominence. _____

VALPARAISO, August 5.—At Porter station, a village of three hundred in habitants, twelve miles from this city, in the extreme northwestern part of the county, an epidemic is raging which, in the last three days, has carried off five persons, leaving fifteen dangerously HI and about twenty-five others of condition the doctors cannot speak with any degree sf certainty. The people of the village are mostly Swedes, of cleanly, thrifty habits, and until the present epi demic broke out amongst them they have been remarkably healthy. About ten days ago the first symptoms of the scourge made its appearance, and mani fested itself in vomiting and diarrhetic discharges. The doctors were at a loss to determine the cause and were unable to prescribe ^any remedies' to alleviate the sufferings of the patients. The afflicted stated they felt a sort of leaden weight in the stomach and bowels, which quickly changed to the vomiting and discharges. A remarkable peculiarity observable in tliwe who have already succumbed is that while they retain clear consciousness to the last, yet the eyes give forth a wild expression and the general appearance of th^countenance conveys the idea of insanity. The most powerful drugs have failed to give temporary check to the dis' ease. Porter is supplied with meats by butchers of Chestertown, one mile east. Investigation has revealed that one meat shop there has not been kept in a healthy condition, the night-watch hav ing stated that on a few occasions he could hardly pass the door from the un pleasant odors emitting. While a doctor of the town) who a lew.days ago entered the cooling room, asf rted that never did he experience a wowl' odor in a college dissecting room. Unfortunately for the people of POrter, it is said that it was the proprietor of this market who supplied them with the bulk of their meats. The poison which has caused the deaths so far is of an alkoloid na&ire. The following are the deceased: Mrs. Trowe, aged 50 John Pearson, aged 13 August Gustafson, aged 12, ana two children under 10 years. The case appears to be similar to that which occurred recently at Momen ce, 111.

OUGHT TO BE NAMED.

A Corresponded* That Lacks Only One Thing of Compute Enjoyment. WASHINGTON, D. C., August 5. One of the recent incidents in the president's experience with political applicants seems thus far to have escaped observation and report. The correspondence given below and about the authenticity of which there is no question, explains itself

JSI CINCINNATI, July 24, 1885.

To the President, Washington, D. C. DEAR Sir—This community read the announcement of the appointment of to the jndgship with astonishment and regret, if not pain, and none were more astonished than those who had signed his petition, and I retfret to say that my name ie upon it. I have refused several whom I know to be unfit but I signed this one, thinking it would never be considered, and not for one moment believing the appointment was possible. When first presented to me I pnt him off and hoped to escape, but he came again, with it, and with Others I signed it thinking Uiere -waft no chance for its reaching even a consideration, It was signed by many prominent men, who hated to refuse, and hoped and thought it would result in nothing. Yours, very respectfully,

WASHINGTON, August 1, 1885.

DEAR SIS—I have read your letter with amazement and indignation. There is but one mitigation to the perfidy which your letter discloses and that is found in the fact that you confess your share in it. I don't know Whether you were a democrat or not, but^if you are, the crime which you confess is the more, unpardonable. The idea that this administration, pledged to give the people better government and better officers, and engaged in a hand-to-hand fight with the bad element of both parties, should be betrayed by those who onght to be worthy of implicit trast, ft atrocious, and such treason to the people and to the party ought to be punished by imprisonment. Your confession comes too lato.to be of immediate use to the public seryice, and I can only say that while this is not the first time have been deceived and misled by lying and treacherous representations, you are the fir-t one that has|so frankly owned his grievous fpult. If any comfort is to be xtracted from this assurance you are welcome to it.

Yours truly,' GROVER CLEVELAND.

JONES JUSTIFIED.

the Civil Service Commission Says He Violated the Spirit ot the Law, But Fonnd Nothing to Justify His Removal.

WASHINGTON, D. C., August 5.—The civil service commission to-day made its report to the president in regard to the charges against Postmaster Jones,-of Indianapolis, referred to. the commission for investigation by the president, July 18th. The commission states that it does not appear that the postmaster has made any appointment or removal in violation of any provision of the civil service act or rules. Only the first and second rules put any limitations npon the authority to remove, and nd violation of either of them has been charged or proved as to charges that Mr. Jones had made public declarations of his intention to discriminate politically in the selection of applicants for positions. The commissioner says that while the statement in itself was imviolation of the spirit of the civil service rules, no act was proven to have been committed in violation- of the civil service law. Mr. Jones, the commission savs was not possessed of full information about the civil service regulations. Rels tive to the third charge, that the civil service examination at (Indianapolis, July 10, was not fairly conducted, the commission says: It was matter of regret on the part of the commission that it was not practicable for the chief examiner or one of the commissioners to be present at the examination of June 10, nasmuch as only one of the .three examiners was familiar with.the duties of his position. The investigation has shown that the examination was not as thoroughly supervised, as was desirable, but the most searching inquiry has failed to show that there was any cheating attempted, or any Jin justice done. Indeed, thejp is no evidence showing such a suggestion."
