GOTHAM COMES BUGGING , The Grant Monument Too Big an Under taking for Now York , OUT OF PATIENJE WITH SHERMAN. Propoxnl to Have the McKlnlcy Hill Considered In Full Commit tee Severely Criticised I'oHtolHce Mutters. WASHINGTON BuiiBAuTiiE OMAIU BKB , ) l > 13 FomiTKBNTii STIIKKT , > WASHINGTON. D. C. , May 27. ) The Grant monument association of New York has finally flunked nnd appeals to con gress for nn appropriation to erect a tomb for the great hero of the war. As will bo remem bered , the family of General Grant consented to his burial at Riverside upon assurance that a handsome monument should bo erected to his memory there , n monument which should cost SI , 000,000 or more. Committees were appointed consisting of the lending bus iness men of New York , handsome offices were secured and secretaries and clerks em ployed to carry on the work , but after four years of such efforts the monument com mittee has not been able to raise any more than one-fifth of the amount desired and Mr. Flower today introduced a bill In congress appropriating i250,000 to help them out. Congress will never appropriate any money for this purpose. If the citizens of New York are not patriotic enough to erect a monument , none will bo erected there. It Is believed the movement to transfer the re mains from tlieir Riverside resting place to tlu > crest of the hill in the Soldiers' Homo nark in Washington or to Arlington will now bo successful. Mr. Chllds of Philadelphia nnd General Bcnlo of Washington , who can apeak for the Grant family with greater au thority than anyone else In this country , both advocate the change and say that no ob jection will bo made by Mrs. Grant or her sons. If the body Is removed to Washington congress will make n liberal appropriation for the monument , but not otherwise ; is sitEitMAN JEALOUS ? . If the senate committee on finance should wait till all the answers are received to Sen ator Plumb's Inquiry of the secretary of the treasury ns to the amounts of revenue which will bo derived under the McKlnlcy bill be fore beginning work upon the tarllT , a report to the senate might not bo expected before July 1. Senator Sherman is in favor of going right ahead with the work of preparing amendments to the bill and not waiting for the returns from the secretary of the treasury. He believes the information which Mr. AVindom will furnish in answer to the I'lumb resolution will bo of advantage in preparing n report and giving the final touches to the bill and with that In view ho today entered a motion for the whole commit tee to consider the bill nt the outset and not submit the work to a sub-committee , as was done two years ago. Republican members of the committee on finance are very much out of patience with Senator Sherman for wanting to consider the McKlnloy bill in full committee. They say it means no tariff law at this session , and that It will defeat the fulfillment of tiio pledges made in the platform adopted at Chicago in 1888. Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island , who worked with Senator Allison on the subcommittee mittee which prepared the bill of two years ago , says Senator Sherman is jealous of the old sub-committee and wants to make a now bill which will never pass. Messrs. Aldrich nnd Allison want to amend the MelCinloy bill otid pass It as soon na posiblo. " ' " " ' - Representative Coiinell called upon the supervising architect of the treasury this morning in regard to the tender of money for the purchase of the Omaha public building site , and learned that no report had yet been received from the department of Justice1 , al though it was hourly expected , Mr. Win- drim stated that ho intended to put draughts men to work upon the plans on next Monday and that the work would bo pushed to com pletion as rapidly as possible. He said that a superintendent for the building would not bo appointed till the plans were completed and accepted and contracts for the work made. This may bo several mouths vet. As soon as Speaker Reed returns to Washington the committee on rules will report a resolution Betting aside an early day for the considera tion of public building bills. This will give r > hearing to the Beatrice and Hastings bills , which Representatives Council and Laws say are suio to be adopted. THE I'ENSION HILL. "S " The pension bill will not bo reported from the conference committee until next week. It Is decided that the provision iu the house bill for an ago pension shnll bo omitted. The conferees on the part of the house have aban doned their efforts to secure its retention in the bill. The point at issue now Is the amount of the pension. The committee wants to fix it at ? I2 , The house committee made It $8. There will probably bo a compromise in tlio shape of n provision for n graded pension according to degrees of disability mid ago and length of service , from M to $12 , but'this has not yet been determined upon. Another meeting will bo held on Thursday or Satur day , when the committee hopes to complete its work and to make its report on Monday or Tuesday next. ruiiB roon AND DIIUGS. The senate committee on agriculture this morning took up for final consideration the pure foood and drug bill. The committee considered n revised draft of the bill as re ported from the sub-committee of which Sen ator Paddock Is chairman nnd listened to rep- rcsentnilves of the wholesale drug trade of the country who arrived hero yesterday to oppo ; what they supposed was n measure drafted to assail their interests. After listen ing to the bill the committee of wholesale druggists announced that It endorsed the measure and would instead of opposing it assist In securing it.s passage. A final vote in the bill , upon motion of Senator Gibson of Louisiana , was postponed until next week , southern members on the com mittee being opposed to the report of nny inspection hill on the ground that inspec tion laws nro rights reserved to the states. Tlio bill as It will bo reported creates a pure food division in the department of ugrlcul- turo whoso chief will procure samples of foods and drugs for analysis and niwn secur- : ig proof of adulteration Is authorized to cull upon the district attorney in the state where the article Is sold to prosecute the case before the district court. The bill pro vides that the department of agriculture shall publish bulletins of the result's of anal ysis , but In no case shall the name of the manufacturer or vender bo published until uftur conviction in the courts. The definition of ndulteratlon adopted fol lows closely tlio lines of tlio English law of 187S with borne modifications suggested by the wholesale drug and wholesale grocers' associations. Tiir.iu mirosn. The purpose of the democrats In the house today in declining to vote on the report of the conference committee on tlio customs ad- minUlrallvo bill was to furnUti an oppor tunity for some ; one to make a test of the con stitutional right of the speaker to count n quorum when members present refused to . , , , . , , 01. to tiiL.iinames. . ON TO iticmio.ND. In the house today Mr. nnd Mrs. Cogswell of Massachusetts allied unanimous consent fur the consideration of n bill appropriating f 1,000 with which to decorate with thu na tional colors the federal buildings in Boston during the coming Grand Army of tlio Hepubllo encampment. , Instantly Mr. lingers of Arkansas , who Is n jf strong confederate sympathiser , nnd whew -w * never misses nn opportunity to defend the rebel ling , sprung to Ills feet and objected. If the bill hud proposed to dmpo or decorate \ private buildings there might hnva IH-OII con- btltutioiinl grounds furentorliiK the objection , but it anticipated the decoration of buildings belonging to the government , and the objec tion was based purely on social and political grounds. This evening's local newspapers coulalued appeals from the Confederate Veterans' nsso elation to these who fought under the stars and bars to goto Hlehmond tomorrow for the purpose of attending on Thursday the unveiling of the Leo monument , which Is expected to bo n great day for the unreconstructed. Trains from nil parts of the south toward Hlehmond nro crowded to night. The streets of the capital of the con federacy are expected to resound with the rebel yell , and for n day nt least the stars and stripes are to bo second to the stars and bars. There will not bo a con federate man or woman In Washington on Thursday who can stand the expense of mak ing a trip to the headquarters of Jefferson Davis and participating In the festivities of the great rebel day. The cry In the south for the next twenty-fours will bo "On to Ulch- mond. " TUB AltTF.MAX I'ltOCLCM. A request was recently mndo of Major J. W.

The Atchison people in New I'ork today received n personal call from Jny Gould. The visit was an extremely long one nnd ns a result the New York people ple telegraphed to Chicago : "Gould has Just given us personal assurances that the Mis souri Pacific will Join the other western lines in advancing rates. " This tele gram means volumes for the west ern lines nnd Gould's willingness to end the demoralization is almost the last obstacle in the way. Chairman Walker of the Interstate Com merce Hallway association returned today from his missionary trip in the east. He in sists that there is no concerted movement on foot for advancing rates , but in view of yes terday's news it seems almost certain that Gould's willingness to advance rates is duo to talks he has had with Chairman Walker.

CHICAGO , May -Special [ Telegram to TUB But : . ] The Canadian Pacific is making still farther inroads into the eastbound bus iness of the central tralllc lines. To almost every New England point , oven as far south as Providence and Worcester , the Canadian Pacific is making rates of 45 cents a hundred on dressed beef , the regular tariff being -IS cents. The business is all taken out of Chicago cage on tlio Wabash , thence over the Cana dian Pacific , and is delivered to the Now England points by the Boston & Maine rail road. Since last Friday the new route has done all of Swift's and Hammond's "dressed beef business , besides getting n liberal share of the output of the other houses. Other central traffic lines arc certain there is a deal between the Cana dian Pacific and the Grand Trunk of Canada by which the eastern territory is divided , as another new route formed of the Wabash , Grand Trunk of Canada and the Delaware , Lackawanna ft Western is doing exactly the same in Pennsylvania as the other route is doing In New England. Each route has is sued tariffs cutting the rates ! 1 cents to all points. The Armour people say that neither of the two lines are cutting their tariff rates , but they give them the business for the rca- i-ou that they reach Now England points about thirty hours sooner than by any other route. It is not at all likely that the tariff rateon provisions and dressed beef will bo maintained a week by the central tralllo lines , in view of the immense business the new route is doing at its 51-cent reduction. . \t' Kestqring.Kntes.

Ho said the law practically denied the right of a child to obey its parents by putting its claims before those of its parents.

But If the state has right to tell us wo must teach English it will soon bo telling us what wo shall cat and what shall bo on the table for family dinner. Thov are all of a class , these laws , wlicther in Wiscon sin , Illinois or Massachusetts.

"As wo make no claim on the support of the stutoforour parochial nnd private schools ; wo deny that the state has the right to exer cise any control over our schools ; we only then grant it the right of intcrferenco with the management of private schools if these collide with the public order or the law of morals. 5.
