The City Being Dressed in the Gar- meuts of Mourning—A Great Demand for Binck Goods. ‘The work of draping the buildings in thiscity with emblems of mourning began yesterday and was carried on last evening by the light of the fall moou. This morning considerable pro- gress had been made with the public buildings, and on many private dwellingsand business houses black crape fluttered in the breeze. The drapery is notso extensive in the city as it probably will be, and among the business houses there was very little done up to this morning. Later inthe day there was more ac- tivity displayed in putting 6n the habiliaments of mourning. The dealers In black, ds state thatthe demand already bas made great in- roads upon theirstock,and the quantities taken by the government has nade it necessary tor private individuals to wait for new invoices to arrive, The flags flying at half-mast in all parts ofthe city andthe black emblems of a great loss visible on every side gave evidence that the community was in mourning, and the na- tional capital sat as it were In ashes and sack- cloth. The national character of the joss was further attested by the flags flying at Half-mast from the Capitol building. THE CAPITOL BUILDING. The Capitol building is being draped today under the direction of Col. Canaday, the ser- geant-at-arms of the Senate, aud Gen, Clark, the ¢lerk of the House. There is no authority for making the necessary expenditure for this purpose, but it ls expected that Congress will make the necessary appropriation, For the resent the draping will consist of & broad und of black around each of the pillars, with porticoes and balconies on all tio In the event that the re- muins are brought here, the drapery of both the outside and inside of the butldibe ‘will be very elaborate. THE WHITE HOUSE, The work of draping in mourning the front of the White House in memory of Gen. Grant was commenced yesterday afternoon, under the dl- rection of Col.

A broad band of black extended the entire length of the front of the house Just beneath the windows on the first floor, and also around the outside of the large portico, All the windows in the front of the house were festouned in mourn- ing. ‘The firemen belonging tothe hook and lad- der were duty at the White House to-day, shifting their igh ladders about xo that the. Geeorators could ‘reach the tops of the lofty pillars, STATE, WAR,AND NAVY DEPARTMENT BUILD NG. ‘The decorations on the State, War and Navy department building were very simple. Eight of the small columns at each of the seven entrances had a band of mourning, with a rogelte and streamers in front. The doorways of the signal office were heavily. draped in mourning, und festoous hung from the windows on the first floor. THE TREASURY BUILDING, The monrning drapery of the Treasury de partment ts belng completed to-day. Itis the simplest and most tastefully draped of all the departments. About four thousand yards of black material js used. Each of the sis six columns surrounding the building is covered with a broad black baud extending elght feet above the base. Then there is a space of two feet and another band two feet wide. Tacked to these are heavy rosettes of bunting. There are no flags or festoons and streamers, and the effect of the huge columns in plain deep mourning is very striking. The two Columns at ech corner on the east and wost of the bulld- ing have, in addition, a fold of bunting twisted ‘once around, extending over the other drapery from about half way up the column to the base, On the eust front there are thirty columns, all draped alte, as described, and, in addition, the lanzps on thé staircase are draped, and four col- ums just inside the east and west doors in the corridor are In mourning. There are ten col- ‘umns each’ at the north and south entrances, and twelve at the west. THE INTERION DEPARTMENT, ‘The drapery of the Interlor department Is very elaborate, and makes a very effective dis- play. The massive pillars on the south portico are draped in solid black from the bases one- third of the way up: Streamérs of black run fre illar $o pillar, torming a festooned canop; over the passage to the entrance. The doorway is draped in black in Gothic style, with rosettes and Auwicrican colors worked In. In the interor hall- Ways the columns are draped heayily tn black, and festooned at the ceilings, The balusters Of the railing about the porties are draped and the lamp-posts are covered with black with the American colors entwined. The four entran tothe building are draped in similar style, while at the four corners the windows. of the first, second, third and fourth stories are ali fe tooned and centered with rosettes. The exte- rlor ‘doorways throughout the building are heavily draped in a style similar to the south- ern doorway, ‘The material used in this work 4s silk and wool dress goods. ‘The bureau of education building and that of the labor bureau are also handsomely decor- ated, ‘The design and work {sdone. by Jullus Lansburgh with a force of forty-Bve men, THE POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT, The Post Office department building is cov- ered with black at available and effective points. The pillars on the four sides are heavily draped, the black surface being broken with rosettes and streamers. The lainp-posts about the building are also covered. Over the win- dows are bands of bluck with rosettes and streamers, DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. ‘The decorations of the Department of Justice consisted of simple bands of mourning stretched from window to window. DISTRICT BUILDING, The District government building on 4% street was appropriately draped in mourning last evening by order of the Commissioners. ‘The balustrade was overspread with crape across the entire front, with tripple rows of loop- ings and rosettes, and the flag on topof the building $s at half-mast. The health office has two lines of crape drawn across the frontof the building on Loulsiang. avenue, with loops and rosettes of the same material at regular intervals and tastefully ar- ranged. ‘The engine houses and police station houses throughout the city are all draped in mourning. ‘The Army and Navy.

When an ex-President dies the recognized period for such mourning is but thirty days, W ‘The Metropolitan Church to Mrs.Grant. A meeting of the official board of the Metro- politan M.

There seems to be a general sentiment throughout the country in favor of the inter- ment of Gen. Grant’s remains in or near the national capital—at Arlington, Soldiers’ Home or Congressional cemetery, and a dispatch from Mount McGregor says: “The impression that Washington may be chosen as the burial place is believed tobe founded on the present information as to the latest expressed wishes of the deceased.” Grand Army men in this city generally favor Arlington, Should it be de- eided to fix Gen. Grant’s last resting place in the national cemetery at Arlington, there Is nothing in the law or tales ayer ‘the ceme- tery to prevent his wife at her death being Phiced beside him. In guite a number of taxes wives sleepin the nattonal cemeteries by the Side of their dead husbands, WHAT GEN. SHERIDAN SAYS. Gen. Drum yesterday received a dispatch from Gen. Sheridan saying: “My duties here will not permit my return in time for the fune- yalofmy dearest friend and comrade, Gen. U, 8.Grant. Licut. Col. G. W. Davis, of iny statt, knows my views In reference to the obsequies. Have them carried outso faras they do not conflict with the directions ot the President. I ‘Want to be bamed as one of the pall-bearers.”” A dispatch from Fort Reno says: In response toingulries concernivg the arrangements for the funeral Gen. Sheridan said: “Iam so tar away from Washington that I will have to de- pend on those in charge there to carry out avy ordersthe President may give the army rela- tive to Gen. Grunt’s faneral, septs his eritl- cal illness last March, and’ on an_fatimation from personal friends of the family that it would be agreeable, the commissioners of the Soldicrs' Home requested the privilege of hav- {a5 the general's remains interred at the home, It fs hoped the family will grant it,” continued Gen. Sheridan, “so that his ashes may rest near the capital of the nation, guarded by the vete- rans of the war in which bis greatest honors ‘were won.” AT A MEETING OF THE COMMISSIONERS OF THE SOLDIERS’ HOMS, held during the general's alarming illness last Spring, it was unanimouly decided to tender a ‘commanding site within the grounds of tbat institution, ‘The suggestion of the Soldiers’ Home was made by “¢x-Senator Conkling ina letter written to Lfcut. Gen. Sueridan, in which the ex-Senator referred to an intimation ftom members of Geu. Grant's family that sugh a se- lection would meet the general's wishes and thelrown. ‘This letter was brought to the atten- ton of the board of commaisstopers of the home, and us Gen. Grant's wish the request was com: pitea with. The lisutenantgeneral, in the pume it the commissioners, was authorized to ad- dress @ letter to ‘Mrs. Grant, tendering a site within, their grounds. “This fetter was sent to Gen. Badeau, who was to de- liver it to Mrs. Grant after the general’s death. The temporary convalescense of the general led to the return of the letter to General Sherl- dan for change of date. The latter left the let- ter with his aid, Col. G. W. Davis, with the nec- essary directions, “The letter was sent to Mrs, Grant, After the offer of the site Genera] Sher- idan and Geveral Macfealey made several Visits to the Soldjers’ ome grounds and deter- mained upon » spot crowning an eminence near and facing the bronge statue of Gen, Winfield Scott and overlooking the Capitol, Executive Mansion, and Mount Vernon, They ulso ac- cepted from the vespry of the Rock Creek Epis- copal parish the use of the tne vault im thelr cemetery, near the home, for the temporary use of the remains, pending she prepare aan of the site. It was also proposed to detail two companies of regulars trom the barracks to do guard duty until turned over to the guard of honor organized among veterans of the home, These arrangements will remain in abeyance until the wishes of the family are known. Gen. Sheridan also prepared a memorandum, which he left with his ald, suggesting the form of cere- moniul and that General Hancock be placed in charge. This memorandum was submitted by Adjutant General Drum for the use of the President. General Mucfealoy, speaking on the Place of “burial, gaid: “fhe Soldiers’ home would be a perpetual resting place. Like Wash- ington, Grant belongs to ‘coubtry and should be buried where the pilgrims of ull ages can visit nls tomb, as they have for nearly a hundred years the ‘tomb of Washington.” [tis thought among military men here that should Washingtow be choseu as the place of burial the remains may be placed in a vault in New York and kept there until the site can be pre- pared for tinal sepulture. VIEWS OF A PROMINENT ARMY OFFICER NOW IN WASHINGTON. A prominent army officer and an old friend of Gen, Grant, talking with a Stag reporter to- lay about the probable burial place of the dead general said: “In my opinion the suggestion that Gen. Grout, may be buried In a national cemetery is absurd, ‘The national cemetery is a sort of piece of last resort. It will do for old soldiers ike myself, who have knocked around until they haye no home, not even a place torest their bones after death. The country furnishes us a final resting place. But it would not do for Gen. Grant, the illustrious citizen and mateh- less soldier. I do not believe that the idea of putting him in a national cemetery has been or Will be entertained for a moment. If he is buried bere in Washington at ali, it will be ona beautiful little knoll ut the Soldiers’ Home, you may be sure of that. Yes, certainly his fe can rest beside him there if she wishes to. my opinton, if it be true that the state and city of New York have tendered the use of an of their beautiful parks as a sepulchre, the ofter be accepted, * © * No, sir, Gen, Grant will not be buried in any national cemetery.

I think fhe family will take time and con- sult public sentimeat. ‘They will wait to see what the public wants; but I’ believe the gene- ral will be buried in New York.” VIEWS OF THE COMMANDER OF SOLDIERS’ HOME, Gen. Hunt, the commandant of the Soldiers’ Home, thinks Gen. Grant should be buried here, and he has selected a site upon an ele- yated knoll in the beautiful grounds of the Home for the grave, Said he: “It is most proper that Gen. Grant should be buried here at the national capital, whose pre- servation is @ monument to his arms, and where visitors may come to visit the tomb of one of America’s most famous soldiers. We have precedent also for burying him at the Soldiers’ Home, as you know Napoleon's re- muins are interred at the Hotel des Invalides at Paris, which 1s the soldiers’ home, with the bodies of two of his marshals, one on‘either side. This is one of the most beautiful spots that can be found, and if he is buried here there should be a grahd monument worthy of him and the place, and Ihave no doubt there will The Sentiment as WHAT MB. GEORGE W. CHILD'S SAYS OF GRANT'S BURIAL PLACE, Mr, George W. Childs, of Philadelphia, in speaking of Gen, Grant yesterday, related sev- éral matters, of an interesting character, and among other things said: “Some years ago Gen. Grant, in conversation with me upon the sub- ect, émmarked that, he thought when he died his: ly should be buried at West Point. He thought that the proper place; I think he should be buried at the Soidiers’ Home, near Washing- ton, and I believe the people generally would like his body to be there interred. He belon; to the nation, and the people in their piigrim- ages to Washington would always visit the tomb of the great soldier. I do not know whether the general left any specific instruc- tions with bie fanily about hfs burial place, butif he did, and his wish was thot his inter. ment shouldbe at West Loint, then hls request will be complied with.
