THE BURIAL OF GEN. GRANT. The Concluding Exercises at the Tomb in Riverside Park by the G. A. R. The Grant Family to Ketnrn to Mt. McGregor Address by Rev. R. L. Collier at Manhattan Beach Yesterday, [lron* Our Second Edition of Sunday.] AT Till: GRAVE. Ch© Hero Laid to ltest-The Cos Deluding; Services by the G. A. It. New Yokk, Aug. B.—From noonday on for hours into the afternoon, the vicinity of the tomb and Rwerside Park was the scene of discomfort for waiting thousands, lleat had followed the cool of t.he morning, and the succeeding hours added heat. One o'clock came and went, but the funeral car was yet a long way off and moving very slowly. Beneath a fir tree at the crown of the knoll, rested a small charcoal furnace, and near it were the tools and materials with which to seal the leaden lining of the cedar case into w’.dch the casket and remains of General Grant should be placed. Down the slope nearer the vault, was a portable furnace, such as is used by workmen for heating bolts. In a group near by were five men—mechanics—who should rivet fast the steel casket, within which both coffin and cedar box should finally be preserved. The steel case rested upon two marble blocks two and one half feet high, three feet wide, and eighteen inches thick. Similar marble blocks had been sunk in the floor, flush with the surface, and upon those the remains of Mrs. Grant are expected to repose. Many persons were permitted to peer into the tomb, where the steel receptacle was awaiting the body then being borne up town. A carriage came in view. In it was General Hancock. lie was the only occupant, and stood erect. Trooping behind him on horseback, were the members of his staff. The General rode to a point near the tomb. When he alighted he was met by Superintendent Murray, Commissioner Cummins, and others of the park board. General Hancock's staff and aides swept past. There were among them, General Fitzhugh Lee, and General Gordan, whom General Sheridan once mot so warmly in other times, and under other circumstances. Upon a commanding slope one hundred yards north of General Grant's tomb, the staff officers and aides drew rein beneath a clump of spreading trees. Meantime helmets were glistening and plumes were moving over the slope toward the southward; COTiion and limbers drawn by horses that were ridden by artillerymen came over the brow of the southern slope, and orderlies galloped to ami fro; sabers and accouterments clattered and rattled. The regulars and the marines, with light Battery F, of the Fifth Artil lery were coming down the drive. They marched out upon the slope, where Hancock's staff was halted, and there the infantry and marines assumed positions of ••t est” in the shade, and out upon the slope towards the Claremont Hotel, which was covered with black black drapery, mounted men with plumed helmets: marines, with trie uniform of the tars: saddled horses with riders dismounted, but holding their bridle rein; cannon muzzles thrust from behind the lower bend of the hillock: pyramids of stacked guns with glistening bayonets interlocked; along the drive, solid walls of people upon the curbing; lines of uneasy and bobbing umbrellas; through the trees, a vista in which the brown and rugged rocks of the palisades pierced the woods and jutted above the river; the Hudson, too, glistening and flowing in the sunlight. So looked the scene northward from the tomb. The Twenty second and Seventh regiments inarched up from the east, and down by the Gnnh. and_wyy drawn up in line on the brow of the bluff overlooking the river. The line reached beyond view. The two regiments stacked arms And were at rest. So near the ledge of the bluff were the regiments drawn up that the hundreds of men in bright uniform, formed a line of silhouettes against the sheen of the broad river in which tho afternoon sun was reflected. Suddenly a gun boomed out over the water and a cloud of blue and white smoke puffed over the stream. The Powhatan, lying down under the bluff, had fired the first of a salute. Hills were eallintrback in echoes, and the guns of the other war vessels in the river anon shook the bluff and started the echoes flying in the woods 4>n the Jersey hills. Three and 4 o’clock passed. The tomb yet waited. But there * came a bugle call from the eastward at 4:20 o’clock. Then a strain from trumpets, and soon the sound of muffled drums. Carriages came into view and rolled slowly through the park to the tomb. Dr. Newman and Bisliop Harris occupied the first, and then the clergy; and then Drs. Douglas, Shrady. and Sands. The bearers came after these. Gen. Joe Johnston rode beside General Sherman, and Buckner and Sheridan were paired, while Gon eral Logan and ex-Secretary Boutwell followed. Distinguished men came also, beside these. The bearers and those invited alighted, and took places near the tomb. Then the Davids Island band, playing Chopin's Funeral March, came irto view, while behind the black plumes of the funeral car could be seen. The car stopped abreast the tomb, the guard of honar ascended to bear down tho casket. Colonel Beck formed his two companies of escort into a hollow square between ' the tomb and the hearse. The family carriages had drawn near; their occupants alighted and took positions near the foot of the steps of the car. So they stood, while the casket was being removed from the car, and when it was borne into the hollow square toward the vault, tho relatives followed in this order: Col. Fred Grant and wife, Mrs. Sartoris aud the Colonel’s children. Julia and U. S. Grant: U. S. Grant, jr., and wife, leading little Nellie, the daughter of Jesse Grant; Jesse Grant and wife, U. S. Grant, second son of Orville Grant: Mrs. Fred Dent and Mrs. D>-nt; Dr. Cramer and wife, Potter Palmer and wife, Hon. John A. J. Cresweil and wife. The cedar case rested upon supports at the door of the sepulcher. The casket was deposited therein. Meade Post No. 1, of Phifiidelphia, represented by fifteen men, circled tho casket. The commander took post at the head, with officers and post commanders at the foot; the chaptain stood at the foot, and the colors were placed in front. Tho ritual services were then performed. Post Commander Alexander Reed—“ Assembled to pay the last sad rites of respect to our late commander and illustrious comrade. U. S. Grant, let us unite in prayer. The chaplain will invoke the Divine blessing.” Post Chaplain C. Irvine Wright—“ God of battles, Father of all. amidst this mournful assemblage, we seek Thee, with whom there is no death. Open every eye to behold Him who changed the night of ',:eath into morning. In the depths of our hearts wo would hear the celestial words I am the resurrection and life; he that believei i in Me, though he were dead, yet he shall live.’ As comrade after comrade departs, and we march on with ranks broken, help us to bo faithful unto the end to each other. We beseech Thee. look in mercy on the widow and children of our deceased comrades, and with Thine own tenderness console and comfort those bereaved by this event, which calls us here. Give them the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of E raise for tho spirit of heaviness. Heavenly 'ather, bless and 6ave our country with the freedom and peace of righteousness, and through Thy great mercy, a Savior’s grace, and Thy holy favor, may we all meet at last in joy belore Thy throne in heaven, and to Thy great name shall be praise forever and forever.” “Amen." joined all the post. A dirge was played, after which the servioe continued. Post Commander Alexander Reed: “One by one, as the years roll on, we are called together fulfill the last sad rites of respect to our comrades of the war. The present, full of the cares and pleasures of civil life, fades away, and we look back to the time when, shoulder to shout- • der, on many battle-fields, or around the guns of ©or men-of-war, wo fought for our dear old flag.

We may indulge the hope that the spirit with which, on land and sea. hardship, privation and danger were encountered by our dead heroes, may never be blotted out from the history or memories of the generations to come—a spirit uncomplaining, obedient to the behest of duty, whereby to cay our national honor is secure ami our loved ones in peace, umier the protection of the dear old flag. May the illustrious life of him whom we lay in the tomb to day prove a glorious incentive to the youth, who, in ages to come, may be called upon to behold the destiny of our country. As the years roll on. we, too, shall have fought our battles through and be laid at rest —our souls following the long column to realms above, as grim Death, hour by hour, shall mark its victims. Let us so live that when that time shall come, those we leave behind may say above our graves: ‘Here lies tho body of a true hearted, brave, and earnest de fender of the Republic.’ ” Senior Vice commander Lewis W. Moore ("laying a wreath of evergreen upon the coffin) “In behalf of the Post, I give this tribute, a symbol of undying love for comiades of the war.” Vice-commander John A. Wedershein (laying a bunch of flowers upon the coffin) —“Symbol of purity, we offer at this sepulchre a rose. May future generations emulate the unselfish devotion of even the lowliest of our heroes.” Post Commander A. J. Sellers (laying a laurel wreath upon the coffin)—“Last token of affection from comrades in arms, we crown these remains with a symbol of victory.” Rev. J. W. Sayers, chaplain-in-chief of the Department of Pennsylvania. G. A. R., delivered an address, after which Rev. H. Clay Trumbull offered prayer. The bug;e call “Rest” was then sounded. Dr. Newman and Bishop Harris then read the ritual service for the burial, of the M. E. Church. Directly behind the lurial party stood General Hancock. At his elbow was President Cleveland, Vice president Hendricks and members of the Cabinet. Near the head of the casket, on the right, Sherman and Sneridan. in full uniform. were uncovered during trie entire service. At their sides were ex Presidents Arthur and Hayes, and Senator Sherman. On the other side of the casket, opposite, were Admiral Porter, Fitzhugh Lee, General Gordon and General Buckner. When the religions services had ended, the trumpeter of Company A, Fifth Artillery, stepped up to and closed the casket. Little Julia then laid on the coffin a wreath, “To Grandpapa.” The guard of honor bore the remains within the tomb, and, at 5:03 o’clock, placed them within tho steel case, the sealing of both the leaden lining and steel case then being performed, as indicated above. The family entered the tomb, remaining only a few minutes. They then sought their carriages, and when entering, the Seventh and Twenty second regiments, in line on the bluff, fired three vollevs toward the river, after which Battery F. Fifth Artillery, fired three salvos from the knoil towards the hotel. The family carriages drove away, but were not out of sight when persons attempted to deface the tomb by writing their names upon it. A guard of regulars was mounted at .once, the military marched, the dignitaries rodo away, and the long chapter was ended. THE DAY AFTER THE FUNERAL. The Grant Family—Rev. R. L. Collier’s Address at Manhattan Reach. New York, Aug. 9. — r l\e members of the Grant family remained in their rooms at tho Fifth avenue Hotel all day, and received no visitors. They return to Mt. McGregor tomorrow or Tuesday. Several clergymen spoke from their pulpits on General Grant to-day. An audience of over five thousand people filled the amphitheater at the Manhattan Beach Hotel this afternoon, and listened with evident interest to a beautiful and exhaustive biography of General Grant, delivered by the Rev. Robert Laird Collier. The address lasted nearly an hour and a half, during which time tho audience broke into several hursts of applause. Gilmore’s hand played a selection of sacred music, -including the dead march from “Saiii.” and Rossini's “March Funehre. ” Madame Clementine Stud well sang “There Are Green Hills Not Far Away.” A marked feature of the services was the great audience rising to their feet aud singing with grand effec,t. “Nearer. My God. to Thee.” The services closed with the benediction, after which the audience slowiy departed. Dr. Collier reviewed many interesting points in Grant’s military career, and at the close of his sermon, said: “The estimate of Ulysses S. Grant, which dates his greatness with the victory at Donelson. misses the golden thread of sequence; for there is the same life running through all his days as through all his deeds. The qualities which shono forth in such consnicnoussplendorat Vicksburg and Chattanooga were no other than those which marked his conduct upon every field in Mexico. This same force was mighty and persistent throughout these desperate days of his last encounter with suffering and death. His character was greater than all his victories, and more imperishable than all renown. Before Grant was a soldier or statesman, he had the sense of justice, the sentiment of generosity, the singleness of aim, the industry of duty, which made him a man. His crown of manhood rather than the sword of the soldier or the sceptre of the statesman, is the secret of his conquests and the pledge of his fame. His character was as transparent as the atmosphere. He was never less than himself. If his speech was restrained.it was never the reticence of concealment. He had nothing to reveal, ho had nothing to hide. He was silent when he had nothing to say. Manliness in a man is his charm and fascination. During Grant’s first term of office as President he attended service in the church of which I was the minister in Chicago. When the sermon was treating of the unity of tho race, and the brotherly obligations of man as man, the President took occasion after the service to speak in commendation of the end of the sermon, and with beautiful simplicy said: ‘Men are more scarce than heroes. On Thanksgiving Day, 1370, when the country was 'Under no little strain of civil apprehension. 1 was in Washington, and sitting with the President in his office. He asked me if the people thought there would be any trouble about the inauguration of the President elect. In reply, I said that the people naturally looked to him, and asked what he would do, should there be any lawlessness or outbreak. The President looked amused, and pleasantly auswered: ‘I know what I would do, but I don’t mean to tell.”’ Memorial services were held to night in the Italian church connected with the Five Points mission. After prayer and the singing of hymns by the congregation, the Rev. Antonio Arrizlio delivered an address on the life of “America’s Greatest Hero.” The speaker drew comparisons between General Grant and Garibaldi. Both, he said, were similar in many respects. They cared only for the welfare of their people, and sacrificed everything persoual in order to benefit their countrymen. G. A. R. Services at Chicago. Chicago, Aug. 9 —Over 2,000 Union veterans attended services in honor of General Grant, at Battery D, to-day. The services were conducted under the auspices of the G. A. R. posts here, by whom the large hall had been suitably draped and decorated. The address of the occasion was delivered by Bi-hop Fallows. Tho address was full of eloquence, and rich in tributes to the memory of the dead General. At most of the churches in the city the sermons had direct reference to yesterday’s national funeral ceremonial, the congregations being unusually large. The peoule. as a rule, seemed to regard the occasion as the last offering them an opportunity to demonstrate their respect for tho memory of General Grant. [ From Onr Second Edition of Sunday.] BLAINE’S EULOGY ON GRANT. A Beautiful Tribute to the High Character of Grant as a Soldier. Augusta, Me., Aug. B.— Appropriate Grant memorial services were held here to-day. At the exercises held in Granite Church, this afternoon, the following eulogy was delivered by the Hon. James G. Blaine: “Public sensibility and personal sorrow over the death of General Grant are not confined to one continent. A profound admiration for his great qualities, and still more profound grati-

tude for bis great services, have touched the heart of the people with true sympathy, increased even to tender emotions by the agony of his closing days and the nndaunted heroism with which he morally conquered a last cruel fate. The world, in its hero-worship, is discriminating and practical, if not. indeed, selfish. Eminent qualities and rare achievements do not always insure lasting fame. A victorious geueral in a war of mere ambition receives the honors of the multitude and the ceremonial honors of the government, but if he brings no boon to his country his fame will find no abiding place in the centuries that follow. The hero for the ages is he who has been chief and foremost in contributing to the moral and material progress, to the granglory of the succeeding generations. Wfßfiington secured the freedom of the coloniesq and founded anew nation. Lincoln was the prophet who warned the people of the evils that were undermining our free government, and the statesman who was called to leadership in the work of thpir extirpation. Graut was the soldiery who, by victory in the field, gave vitality and force to the policies and philanthropic measures which Lincoln defined in the Cabinet for the regeneration and security of the Republic. “The monopoly of fame by the few in this world comes from an instinct, perhaps from a deep-seated necessity of human nature. Heroes cannot he multiplied. The gods of mythology lost their sacredness and their power by their numbers. The millions pass into oblivion; the units only survive. Who aided the great leader of Israel to conduct the chosen people over the sands of the desert, and through the waters of the sea, into the promised land! Who marched with Alexander from the Bosphorus to India? And who commanded the legions of Cwsar iu the conquest of Gaul? Who crossed the Atlantic with Columbus? Who ventured through the winter passes of tlie Alps with the conqueror of Italy? Who fought with Wellington at Waterloo? Alas! How soon it may be assed who marched with Sherman from tho mountain to the sea? W T Lo fought with Meade on the victorious field of Gettysburg? Who shared with Thomas in the glories of Nashville? Who went with Sheridan through tho trials and triumphs of the blood-stained valley? General Grant's name will survive through the centuries, because it is indissolubly connected with the greatest military and moral triumph iu the history of the United States. If tho armies of the Union had ultimately failed, the vast and bencficient designs of Lincoln would have been frustrated, and he would have bepn known in history as a statesman and philanthropist who, in the cause of 1 umanity, cherished great aims which he could not realize, and conceived great ends which he could not attain; as au unsuccessful ruler, whose policies distracted and dissevered his country; while General Grant would have taken his place with that long and always increasing array of great men who were found wantine in the supreme hour of the trial. But a higher power controlled the result. God in His gracious mercy had not raised up those men for works which should come to naught. In the expression of Lincoln: *No human counsel devised, nor did mortal aid’ in their accomplishment. Those human agents were sustained by more than human power, and through them great salvation was wrought for the land. As long, therefore, as the American Union shall abide with its blessings of life and liberty, Grant shall he remembered with honor. As long,as the slavery of human beiDgs shall be abhorred and the freedom of man be assured, Grant shall be remembered with gratitude; and in the cycles of tho future the story of Lincoln can never be told without associating Grant in the enduring splendor of his own great name. “Grant’s military supremacy was honestly earned, without factitious praise and without extraneous help. He had no influence 4,0 urge his promotion, except such as was attracted by his own achievements. He had no potential friends except those whom his victories won to his support. He rose more rapidly than any military leader in history, from the command of a single regiment to the supreme direction of a million of men, divided into many great armies, and operating over an area as large as theempiresof Germanyand Austria combined. He exhibited extraordinary qualities in the field. Bravery among American officers is the rule, which has happily had few exceptions. But, as an eminent general said. Grant possessed a quality above bravery. He had insensibility to danger—was apparently unconscious of fear. Besides that, he possessed an evenness of judgment, to be depended on in sunshine and storm Napoleon saiu the rarest attribute among generals is two o’clock in the morning courage. ‘I mean,’ ho added, ‘unprepared courage; that which is necessary on unexpected occasions, and which, in spite of most unforseen events, leaves full freedom, judgment, snd promptness of decision.’ No better description could be given of the type of courage which distinguished General Grant. His constant readiness to light was another quality which, according to the same great authority, established his right as a commander. ‘Generals,’said the exile at St. Helena, ‘are rarely found eager to give battle. They choose their positions, consider their combinations and then their indecision begins.’ ‘Nothing.’ added this greatest warrior of modern times, ‘nothing so difficult as to decide.’ General Grant, in Ins services in the field, never once exhibited indecision, and it was this quality that gave him his crowning characteristic •as a military leader. He inspired his men with a sense of their invincibility and they wero thenceforth invincible. “The career of General Grant when he passed from military to civil administration was marked by his sterling qualities. His presidency of eight years was tilled with events of magnitude in which, if his judgment was sometimes questioned, his patriotism was always conceded. He entered upon his office after angry disturbances, caused by the singular conduct of Lincoln’s successor, and quietly enforced a policy which had been the cause of four years of bitter disputation. His election to the presidency proved in one import ant aspect a landmark in the history of the country. For nearly fifty years preceding that event there had been few presidential elections in which the fate of tho Union had not been in some degree agitated,either by threats of political malcontents, or in apprehension of timid patriots. The Union was saved by the victory of the army commanded by General Grant. No menace of its destruction has ever been heard since General Grant’s victory before the people. “Death always holds a flag of truce over its own. Under that flag friend and foe sit peacefully together; passions stilled, benevolence restored, wrongs repaired, justice done. It is impossible that a career so long, no prominent, so positive as tnat of General Grant should not have provoked strife and engendered enmity. For more than twenty years, from the death of Lincoln to the close of his own life, General Grant was the most conspicuous man in America; one to whom leaders looked for leadership, upon whom partisans built their hopes of victory, to whom personal friends by tens of thousands offered their sincere devotion. It was according to the weakness and strength of human nature that counter-movements should ensue; that General Grant’s primacy should be challenged; that his party should be resisted; that his devoted friends should be confronted by jealous men iD his own ranks, and by bitter enemies in tho ranks of his opponents. But ail these passions and all these resentments are buried in the grave which today receives his remains. Contention respecting his rank as a commander ceases, and Unionists and confederates alike testify to his coolness in battle and magnanimity in peace. Controversy over bis civil administration closes, as Democrat and Republican unite in pronouncing him to have been, in every act and in every aspiration, an American patriot.” The other speakers were Hon. J. W. Bradbury, Hon. J, Manchester Hoyles and General Luther Stephenson. The church was filled to overflowing. SEEMING SLIGHTS. Generals Who Were Not Invited to the Funeral of Gen. Grunt, aud the Reason Why. New York Evenii e Post. The Commercial Advertiser says: “A correspondent of the World directs attention to the fact that General Sigel has been overlooked in the preparations mail© for General Grant’s funeral. That ought not to be. Gen. Sigel rendered services of a distinguished character during the war. and is in a sense the representative of the German population of the country, whose patriotism has served the country well in peace as well as iu war.’* There is very good r-ason and sufficient cause for omission of any special honor at the funeral of General Grant to several officers of tho late war. General bigel is one of these officers. To

prevent farther misapprehension, we think it well to say that General Rosecrans and General Butler are the others, and to mention the reasons to which we have alluded. These reasons are found in a famous and supposed-to-be familiar report of “U. 8. Grant, Lieutenant general,” to the Secretary of War, dated Nov. 18, 18G5. In that report occur the following sentences: “Not regarding the operations of General Sigel as satisfactory. I asked his removal from command, and Major general Hunter was appointed to supersede him.” “His [General Butler’s] array, therefore, though in a position of great security, was as completely shut off from further operations directed against Richmond as if it had been in a bottle strongly corked.” * * * “At my request Major general B F. Butler was relieved, and Major general E. O. G Ord assigned to the command of the Department of Virginia and North Carolina.” “The impunity with which Price was enabled to roam over the State of Missouri for a long time, and the incalculable mischief done by him, shows to how little purpose a superior forco may be used. There is no reason why Genera) Rosecrans should not have concentrated bis forces and beaten and driven Price before the latter reached Pilot Knob.” It has never been feigned that these threo officers had much kindness for General Grant, and those iu charge of the funeral arrangements have shown good taste in abstaining from special invitations to them. GENERAL GRANT* IN WISCONSIN. A Brief But Successful Campaign—How tlie General Captured tlie Citadel. Janesville Gazette. Scon after General Grant became a clerk in his father’s store in Galena, in 1859, be was sent to Prairie du Chien to look after a stock of goods which had largely been sold on credit. They were kept in the large and antiquated stone building for so nianv years occupied by J. Famechon. It seems that Grant's customer at the Prairie had given a fraudulent bill of sale for the goods to a third party for the purpose of defrauding the Grants: and when the General arrived in tlie town to investigate the matter, he took counsel of the Hon. O. B. Thomas, who was elected to Congress last fall, and after examining the records in the town clerk’s office, Thomas was conviuced that the sale was' a fraudulent one, and had a writ of replevin issuifl at once to get possession of the goods. The sheriff was not in town that day, and the writ was given to his deputy, “Boss” Brunson, grandson of the venerable Alfred Brunson, D D. “Boss” was a daring, burly young fellow by nature, but his daring failed him in this case. Mr. Thomas, Grant and Brunson, armed with the writ of replevin, walked down to the building containing the goods, and ionnd the door locked. Tlie pretended owner had heard that, one of the Grants was in town, and supposing he would attempt to seize the stock, he planted himself inside, bolted the door, and armed himself with a shotgun. When the party reached tho building they were refused admittance, of course, with a threat from the man inside that if they entered someone would be killed. This threat rather staggered “Boss,” who was inclined to believe the man meant what he said. Mr. Thomas tried to convince the young deputy that it was his duty to enter tho store even at the expense of breaking down the door, bat “Boss” could not see it in that light. Grant had watched the proceedings thus far quietly, without saying a word, but becoming impatient, he said to “Boss.” “Mr. Deputy, if you are afraid to go into tho building yourself, why don’t yon deputize someone else to go iu for you?” “Well,” answered “Boss.” sharply, who felt keenly touched to have his courage doubted, “I will deputizo you.” Grant was quite stout in those days, and, obeying the command of the officer, he stepped back from the store door some ten feet or twelve feet, and coming up to it with a rush, he planted his right foot near the lock, and the door opened with a crash. Grant entered in an instant, seized the man who had the gun, and ordered him to go to work to help take down and box the goods, and in a .ffiort time they were removed to Galena. This is ail there is about General Grant doing business in Wisconsin. KEILEY’S CASE. Why the Austrian Court Could Not Receive the American Minister. Pitteburp Chronicle. “WhaC is really the matter with Minister Keiley?” asked a reporter this morning of an Austrian gentleman who is very well posted in the affairs of his country. “Is it his Hebrew wife or his rejection by the Italian government which has caused tho Austrian Emperor to formally announce that he will not receive him?” “The Keiley affair has been more misunderstood by the American people than any foreign event within my knowledge. I atn glad to answer your question and explain sorn£ ridiculous errors which are currently believed. The statement that the Austrian government refused to accept Mr. Keiley because of his wife being of Hebrew blood, is altogether untrue. The Assistant Secretary of State of Austria stated in tho Austrian press that the United States might send a Hebrew to the court of Vienna and he would be received if he himself was a gentleman. There is little or no Jewish prejudices among diplomates, some of the most famous of them have been Jews, or of Jewish descent Any man with a moderate degree of experience in foreign affairs would have avoided the error made by Mr. Cleveland and Secretary Bayard. Italy is of. all the European powers the most closely allied to the Austrian court. The friendliest relations exist between the royal families and the countries. Tlie attack of Mr. Keiley upon Victor Emanuel in itself might not have led to a refusal to receive him, although it would have been remembered against him. It was Italy’s refusal to accept him which was fatal in the eves of the Austrian court. Here was a man who was denied a reception by a friendly power, and a second rate power at that, sent to the court of a first rate power where diplomatic etiquette is strictest and most potential. Os course Mr. Keiley was doomed. It is always customary for a European power to ask if a man is satisfactory to a court before he is named for the position of minister. This prevents any public scandal or pnblio humiliation. The United States never asks any such questi ns, but appoints its diplomatic representatives at ban hazard, for political reasons. Europeans are willing to recognize the right of a republic with a changeable administration to send men as ministers who ate iguorant of diplomatic usages and court etiquette. It is merely asked that they be representative men of good character and social status, and that they bo not objectionable because of political opinions or past actions. Ido not suppose that anyone will succeed Mr. Keiley, hut I hope Americans will understand that Austria has acted with dignity, and with courtesy, and in conformity with longestablished customs. Useless Safety Gates. The clamor for “safety gates” at the railway crossings of streets is all well enough, for the city is not likely to get more protection from the railways than it needs. But, while demanding more gates, it had better demand that those it has should be set where they would protect something. Two of the most important of all are absolutely tiseless against the most serious danger from passing cars at street crossings. That on Illinois street, at one end of the Union Depot, and that on Meridian street, at the other end, are both clear south of the Union tracks upon which alone transfer freights are carried, and which are, consequently, the most obstruction to city traffic and travel, and the most likely source ot mischief. Why is not the north' gate on Meridian street set on the north side of the Union tracks where it can keep wagons off these tracks when curs are passing? It cannot do that now, and might as well be erected at the mouth of the Mississippi street culvert for all the good it does on that side of the depot. The Illinois street gate is set in just *the same position, at the end of tlie Union Depot, inside of the union tracks, which are open to everything that can move and get in the way of passing cars or “cuts.” Why not set them at the tunnel railing, w) e each half would perfectly cover each roadway round the tunnel? If it would h© too much trouble to keep them moviug for the street cars, they mieht be set between the street car tracks’ and the Union tracks, and keep the latter clear of wagons and passengers while cars are moving. If the railroads were half so willing to do the eitya service as they are to gouge and worry it for their own advantage, the satety gates would he made fit to save something. They do little in that way now.
