N0 FUNDS FOR THE WORK 41 “ Oensns Army Records of Union Veterans Not to Be Published.

C., April 27. It will be vory unwelcome news to the ex- union soldiers throughout the country to learn that work at the oensus office upon the veteran records bas been completely abandoned and the matter which has been prepared upon the subject haus been buxed up and stowed away in the filo rooms. It looks now us though the veterans would never see an oficial record of their services. The fault lios with congress and some others who aro lacking in interest in the work. The last congross made an Appro- priation for taking complote records of tho vetcrans of tho late war, and work has steadily progrossed since, but no provision has been made for printing the records. It is estimated that the records will oceupy ten or twelve octave volumes of 1,000 pages each and that the composition will cost something like $120,000, the press work and paper probably as much more, and with the binder's bill the workof getting ont the rocords of the voterans n connection with the oensus, exclusive of the work of compilation of the records themselves, would be something 1ike §250,000. Those figures stagger the present houso of represontatives and no attention has been paid to Superintandent Porter’s recommenda- tion for un appropriation with which to print the work, and acting under the authority of Secrotary Noble the work upon the war rec- ords has” been abandoned. 1t is expected that the Grand Army of the Republio posts throughout the country will be heard from a8 8001 as they learn the facts.

CANADIAN SEALERS, Tt is Sard They Wil Sail Under the Mexica: Fiag—Washington News, Wasnrtaros, D, C., April 27.—Ofcials at the State department place no confidence in the report that the Canadian sealers will be escorted to the Boring sea under tho protec tion of other govornments. They say other countries would not perpotrate such a palpa- ble fraud and it is not likely thatany other country would consent to the use of its flag for tho purposo of violating tho laws of the United States in regard to seal poaching. An agent of the North American Commoroial company informed the Treasury department this morning that it was roported tbat the ponchors intended to sell their vessels to Mexicans and enter the sea flying the flag of that country; but that no one attached much importance to the report.

New Vonk, April 27.—The soventioth an- niversary of the birth of General Ulysses S. Grant ocourred today, and the occasion Was solocted for & most appropriute commemora tion—the laying of the coruer stone of the imposing monument which is to mark the last resting place of the soldier-patriot, on the bank of the Hudson in Riverside park. The day dawned clear and beautiful, with balmy breezes and a gonial sun. Flags were unfurled to tho breeze from the peaks of fed- eral and municipal buildings, and hundreds of private houses were decorated with gay bunting, and the national colors met the eyus at every turn, The legislature ordained that the solemn ceremonial of the laying of the corner stone of the monument to the nation’s general should be recoznized as a state affair, and from noon to midnight the day should be a general holi- day. It was genorally obscrved as such, Gathered Early to Do Iim Honor, A general concourse centered in Riverside park, tae scene of this afternoon's coremo- nies, and in tho earliest hours of the day peoplo bogan to sot out to pre-empt places of vantage at this Mecca of the patrioticcitizons. A grand stand had been completad to seat 12,000 peoplo. 1t was built upon and around tho concrete foundations of the mausoleurn, at the northern end of which rests the cofin containing the body of General Grant. Tho platform was 200 feet long and 150 feot wide, with a small elevated stand for the distinguished speakers at the southern side, Below on the ground were built the rough benehes for the Grand Army veterans, 3,000 of whom were arranged for,” On the south- onst corner of the irregular shaped grand stand platform were seats assigned to the Leogion of Houor, while seats for the presi- dential party and distinguished guests wero placed in tho center of the platform, facing the speaker’s rostrum and to tho east of the corner stone, The corner stono is at the southwest corner of the mausoleum and this morning it hung in mid air, suspended from u powerful der- rick, Itis 6x6x3 feet, of solid granite and weighs more than ten tons, At 8:80 this morning the monitor Minanto- vomab, which had steamed uv the river from the navy vard, dropped anchor in the Hud- son opposite the tomb and Commauder S. 1§ Gart sent a body of sailors ashore laden with bunting and signal flags, and these were fastened over the unsightly derrick and the stars and stripes wero displayed from every available point. President Harrison Cheered, At noon thore was a big crowd about tho Fifth Avenue hotel awaiting the departure of the president and his party for Riverside park, Troop A, Captain Koo commanding, drew upon Fifth avenue and saluted the president as ho entered his carriage at 12:45, When President Harrison appeared at the ladies’ entrance of the hotel on the Tiventy- third street side the crowd cheered. The president lifted his hut and stepped iato tho big tarouche drawn by four horses, that was waiting for him, ~With the president were General Horace Porter and Lieutenant Parker. fo the second ocarriage sat Vice Presigent Morton and F. D. Tappen; in the third, Secretary Elkins and General Butter- field; 1 the fourth, Postmaster neral Wanamaker and John H. Starin, and in the fifth Secretary Noble and H. W. Canuon. Other carriages which followed contuined Secrotary Rusk, Coruelius Bliss and Chauncay M. Dopew. The cavalrymen then wheeled into column and with four platoons preceding and three following, the chief executive and his party too0k up the march, The ceremonies were set to begin at 2 o'clock, Long bofore that hour, however, the 12,000 grand stand seats were flled and the greensward adjoining was swarming with & pushing crowd of spectators. ‘The Loyal Legion and men of the Grand army were the first to arrive, The former occupied seats on their private stand at the right of the main grand staod; the latter oc- cupied ground seats facing tho grand stand. The spoakers’ space was fenced off with red, white and blue bunting and was surmounted by a parasol canopy lined with the national colors, The United States band from David's Island was stationed just beneath tne Loyal Legion stand, and during the wait for the presidont rendered patriotic airs. By 2 o'clock the crowd had swelled to 40,000, The arrival of the old veteran, Gen- eral Franz Sigol, about this time was tho signal for an outburat of cheers by his Grand Army of the Republic comrades. Among the distinguished guests on the platform wero Genarals Schofield, Howard, Uodge and Slocum, the only men now living who commanded army corps during tho late war, Prosident Harrison and party arrived at 2:15. The crowd cheered as Cieneral Horace DPorter escorted President Harrison to the speakers’ stand. General Porter's Romarks, After the David's Island band hud played *‘Hail to the Chiof” and an invocation by Rev. Dr. John Hall, Goneral Porter, presi- dent of the Grant Monument association, made an address, He said the laying of the corner stone was in celebration of an event which would Dbe forever momorable in history—tho anniversary of the birth of the illustrious soldier ana citizen whose ashos would repose within the structure, ‘The tund required for the completion of the tomb waslarge, but the commitieo hiving the project in oharge was confident that the re- quired sum would soon be raised. Two bun- dred and fifteen committees wero at work raising the funds, They were enlisted for the war, and they proposed to *‘fight it out on this line if it takes ail summer.” There had already been raisea §202,800 and the work would go on until every tirm and indi- vidual had an opportunity to subscribo, New York would raise tho money and it was the plan of the committee to have its labors combleted before Decoration day. Continuing General Porter sad: “When this structure shall have reacbed cowpletion 1ts dome will point the path of loyalty to children yet unborn, The hallowed wmem- orles whioh cluster about it will remind us of the neroic age of the republic. Its mute elo- auence will plead for equal sacrifice should war again threaten the nation's life, The blending of Its chaste lines and massive | proportions will be typical of tho hero who sleeps beneath its granite, and will recall the childlike simplicity which was mingled with the majestio grandeur of his natura. Its crypt will hold the ashes of one who had filled to the very full the largest measure of human greatness and covered the world with his renown. Here will be entombed his body; his name will be eternally embalmed in the hoarts of bis countrymon. His sery- ices will attest his greatness. He did bis duty and trusted to history for his meed of praise. His namo will stand immortal when epitapbs bave vanished atterly and wonuments have crumblod 1nto dust.” Luying the Corner Stone, As the momeut drew near when the stone should be placed in position, the wighty throng bocamo quiet.
