Central Park, New York, Decided Upon as the Final Resting Place of Gen. Grant.

MOUNT MCGREGOR, July 24.—This after­noon Mr. Turner, Mayor Grace's chief clerk, now here, received a message which deter­mined the question of Gen. Grant's burial place in favor of Central Park, New York.

Mayor Grace received the following dis­patch from his private secretary a t Mount McGregor:

In regard t o the offer made by the city of a place of burial in one of the parks belong­ing to the city, Col. Grant instructs me to say tha t upon the condition tha t the wish of the general tha t a place be reserved be­side him for Mr«. Grant is observed, he, in behalf of the family, accepts. You are, therefore, a t libet ty to take action upon this information, which is final. The fami­ly prefer Central Park.

The mayor appointed a committee of 100 citizens to raise New York city's share of the expense for the erection of a nation­al monument to Gen. Grant. Among the membeis of this committee are the follow­ing.

Samuel J . Tilden. Chester A. Arthur, Alon-zo B. Cornell, W. M. Evarts, Oswald Ottendorfer, George Jones, Thomas L. James, Edward Cooper, Smith Elly. Jr.. W. H. Wyckham, Roscoe Conk-ling, Xoah Davis. Cornelius N. Bliss, Eugene Kelly, George Bliss. Whitelaw Roid, John Jacob Aitor, Parke Godwin, H. J .B.Hyde, Gen. George B. McClellan, Dr. Fordyce Barker, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jesse Selig-man, David M. Stone, David Dows, Hamil­ton Fish, Pierre Lorillard, Ogden Goelet, and Joseph Pulitzer.

J . \\. Arkell has arranged the fol­lowing time table for the removal of the remains from Mount McGregor:

Tuesday, Aug. 4, leave Mt. McGregor a t 1 p. in., arrive a t Saitoga a t 2 p. m.; leave Saratoga a t 2.30 p. m.; arrive in Albany at 5 30 p. m.; leive Albauy a t 12 o'clock noon, "Wednesday, Aug. 5, and arrive about 4 30 p. m., in Ne>v York.

In the intei val from 4-30 p. m., Tuesday, to noon of Wednesday. Aug. 5, the remains will lie in state a t the capitol, and from the time of arrival in New York on Wednesday afternoon until Saturday, Aug. 8. the body will lie in state a t the city hall. The public obsequies will take place on Saturday, a t such time as the civil authorities may ar­range, and the interment will then follow in Central Park. Thus it is settled tha t Gen. Grant is to be interred in Central Park, New York, "becau&e it befriended me ^hen l was in need."

Gen. Grant left no will, as he felt that he had nothing to leave. He gave a memoran-dom to Col. Fred some w eeks ago, which i& understood to be in the form of suggestions and expressions of his wishes for then fu­ture.

Adjt, Gen. Drum arrived on the moun­tain this evening. He was the bearer of a letter from Piesident Cleveland to Mrs. Grant tendering a lot in the Soldiers' Home grounds as a burial place for the dead gen­eral, if it should please the views of the family. In conversation Gen. Drum said:

I have to-day transmitted to Gen Han­cock an order from the secretary of war directing Gen. Hancock to take entire charge of the military arrangements of Gen. Grant's funeral from the present to the day of burial, and all military excercises of any kind here w ill be under his direction, and to him applications must be made by all military organizations tha t may desire to take part in the obsequies.

The intelligence tha t it has been decided to bury Gen. Grant in Central Park, New

- York, was received in Washington with feelings of universal regret and indignation. It was confidently hoped tha t Washington would be selected as the place for the sep-ulcher, and tha t the Soldiers' Home or Arlington cemetery would receive the re­mains of the great Soldier.

Dr. Douglass and Gen. Grant. New York special July 24.—Dr..Douglass

to-day chatted a t length with a' reporter about Gen. Grant and of the long trial of suffering just ended.

"Well, then," resumed Dr. Douglass, " I am going to tell you of an experience I had with Gen. Grant on tho afternoon ol Thurs­day, July 16, and a t the time I had ob­served the indications about his throat which I have spoken of. During the after­noon of tha t day the general wrote this—''

And Mr. Douglass drew from his pocket several slips written by the general, and read w hat the sick man had written, which was as follows:

I feel sorry a t the prospect of living through the summer and fall in the con­dition I am in. I do not think I can but I may. Except tha t I do notgatherstrength, I feel quite as well from day t o d a y as I have done heretofore; but I am losing strength. I feel it more in the inability to move around than in any other way; or, rather in the lack of desire' to t ry to move.

"When I had read tha t , " added Dr. Douglass, "I turned to the general and tried to cheer him by telling him of the apparent­ly improved condition of his throat and neck, to which in reply the general again wrote-

'After all that , however, the disease is still there and must be fatal in the end. My life is precious, of couise, to my family, and would be to myself if I could recover entirely. There never was one more willing to go than I. I know most people have first one and then another little thing to fix up, and never get quite through. This was partially my case. I first w anted so many days to w ork on my book, so the authorship would be clearly mine. _ I t was graciously granted to me, af­ter being apparently much lower than since, with a capacity to do more work than I ever did in the same time. My work had been done so hastily much was left out, and I did it all over irom the crossing of the James river in 18G4to Appomatoxin 18(53. Since then I have added as much as fifty pages to the book, I should think. There is nothing more to do, and therefore I am not likely to be more ready to go than a t this moment."

Gen. Drum's Part . WASHINGTON, July 23.—Gen. Drum yes­

terday telegraphed the secretary of war as follows, relative to the obsequies of Gen. Grant:

Immediately on arrival here this after­noon I called upon Mrs. Grant by her re­quest and presented the president's letters. The family have decided upon a military funeral and wish it to be under the author­ity and control of the national govern­ment. New York city has been agreed upon as the place of interment, and the mayor has been so notified. The funeral services here will take place Aug 4, and the remains will then be taken t o Albany, where they will lie in state for one day. They will then be taken to New York city and be laid in state in the city hall until Saturday, Aug., 8, the day fixed for the funeral. The family have expressed a wish tha t the 0. S. Grant post of the Grand Army of the Republic of Brook­lyn should act as the guard of honor. I will telegraph Gen. Hancock, saying tha t you have designated him to take charge of the body here, tha t being the wish of the family, and to see that it is properly conducted to New York, and to take charge of the cere­monies connected with the funeral and to command the escort, with such minor in­structions as to details as the case requires.

T H E G O V E R N O R O P D A K O T A . Following is Gov. Pierce's proclamation: To the people of Dakota: In recognition

of the universal sorrow a t the death of Gen. Grant, I recommend t h a t the day set apar t for the funeral be observed through­out the territory by ceasing from ordinary business pursuits,and tha t the people unite in testifying their respect for the departed soldier, the foremost citizen of his time.

Such lires are rare. Few men are permit­ted t o render such service, to gain such renown, to merit such distinction. In his victories t he people rejoiced^^in his misfortunes they sorrowed, in his death they mourn. Looking back on a career of unexampled success, on a record of surpassing brilliancy, his great­est triumph came a t the close of his years, when a nation, forgetting its past differ­ences, bowed in sorrow around his bedside and united in a gracious tribute to his honor and his name. Unconquerable in war. mag­nanimous in victory, simple and unosten­tatious in peace, he came close to the hearts of the people, and to the people is commit­ted a fitting observance of tha t day when he shall be laid to rest with Washington and Lincoln, enshrined like them in a nation's gratitude and a nation's love.

"From the first time that he came to mv office. I don't thmk he ever thought he would get well, though, of course, he had something of that hope which always exists while life lasts.

I do not think I used the word 'cure.' He fullv appreciated the serious character of his ailment, but not by a motion of a muscle or a tremor of the lip did he show that the mlormation distressed or affected him in the least.

"I ask vou not to show this to any one, unless to the doctors you consult with, until the end. Particularly, I want it kept from my family. If know n to one man the papers will get it and they (the family) will get it. It would only dis­tress them almost beyond endurance to know it, and bv reflex would distress me. I have not changed my mind materially since I wrote you before in the same strain. Now, however, I know that I gain strength some days, but when I do go back it is beyond where I started to im-piove. I think the chances are very decidedlv in tavor ot your being able to keep me alive until the change" of weather towards winter. Of course there are contingencies that might arise at any time that might carry me oft very sud­denly. The most probable or these is choking. Under the circumstances, life is not worth the living.
