The rourU remained closed during the day , the exchanges closed at neon , gen eral business wis brought nearly to n stand still , and nil who could do so ceased their dully occupations to do honor to the dead soldier. At an early hour people began to assemble In the street opposite the residence of general Bhcrmnn. From almost every house along the street the American Hag iloatcd nt half- mast. There were a few visitors In the early hours of the morning , but only the most Intlmato friends nnd few old soldiers were ndmlltcd , nnd the latter were obliged to anew certificates that they had served in the army. Kov. Thomas Sherman , the son whoso arrival was so anxiously awaited , reached the house nt 1:30 this morning. Just after taking nn early breakfast thin morning with the family ho took a last look at tlio remains of tils father. A few minutes before 11 a largo floral shield wns received nt the house from "West Point cadets.

The family sent nn invitation to him this morning , but the president kindly replied that ho preferred 'o keen with him the remembrance of the general while n'ivo. ' IIo did not wish to sco him in death when their associations had boon so warm and genial. At noon every doorstop along Seventeenth Btrcet was crowded with interested specta tors and the windows wcro filled with expectant faces. About 12-5 : n caisson , draped in black and drawn by four horses , was drawn up In front of the Sherman residence. The horses wcro mounted by regulars and nn nrtny oftlcor was in charge. Behind ttio caisson was nn orderly leading n black charger which bore the military trappings of ttio KOII- cral. A blank velvet covering almost hid the horse from view , but the boots and saddle wcro plainly conspicuous. Tlio service nnd prayer began at noon nnd was over at 1U:30. : Prayers wcro read by Hev. Father Sherman close to the casket stood the other son , P. T. Sherman. In ttio front parlor were all tlio other members of ttio family , Secretnrj Blalno and wife and Mrs. Dnmrosch. Fathoi Sherman was assisted by Hev. Father Tayloi nnd two other priests.

" After this two selections wore sung from the oratorio of Elijah. Fathe Sherman again rend the scriptures nnd the Misurnri from . Alcndelssohn was given.

It was close on o'clock when President Harrison , with Lieu tenant Ernst , his aidu-do-camp , reactied the houso. Long before ttio procession moved specta tors began to take positions along the line of march. The decorations along the route were not so numerous or elaborate as when General Grant was buried , but nevertheless they wcro strikingly handsome nnd in great profusion. Just nbout 2 o'clock n troop of the Sixth cavalry formed at tlio left of the house in the middle of the street. Six lieutenants then appeared In tlio doorway , bearing on their shoulders tlio casket , of tlio general , which they placed upon the waiting caisson. The members of tlio family , friends , invited aniclals nnd pnll bearers then took their places In carriages nnd followed , and the members of Lafayette post , Grand Army of the Hepubllc. formed on cither side of the . caisson. Tlio procession then commenced to move , but very slowly , ns both sides of the streets were crowded with hundreds of carriages waiting to take their places in lino. Along thn line of March from start to finish it wns ono grand crusti , and walking in ttio streets traversed was almost nn impossibility. It appeared as If orery resident of New York nnd the surrounding cities had turned out to Ijazo upon the ttio casket that contained the remains of the great general. Along tlio walls of Central park on Fifty-ninth street crowds of people were seated , and at tlio circle - clo where the column was to assume dolln'tu shape the sea of bobbing heads was simply Indescribable. All along Fifth avenue n mass of people lined the sidewalks , steps nnd windows and balconies on the thoroughfare - oughfaro were occupied until after 0 o'clock , when the last of the dirgo-plnymg bauds went by , Tlio weather- was cold nnd disagreeable , but there was no apparent diminution In the numbers of the crowd until the vary last. Grizzled old Grand Army men formed nstrlk- ing feature of ttio procession. Many of them walked on crutches. The caisson , on which rested the body , was received everywhere with uncovered bonds nnd where tlio crowd had been noisy it was instantly hushed , when the oujeot of nil this military display approached. In Filth avenue , from Twenty-second to Fourteenth , ttio crush of people was so great that the mounted police hnd prcat dinieulty In clearing a passage. .M Washington square all except the regular inilltnr } ' escort were dismissed. The caisson with this escort wns then turned into Broadway and down to Canal street , from which point the ferry wns soon jnauo.

The brief tlmo which could bo given the subject In either house precludes all prospects of the passage of free coinage at this session of congress and. the most ardent friends of the proposition will now say so with out hesitation. Silver men in thocltylnclud- Ing representatives of the house committee on coinage , weight and measures have aban doned the extreme measures and nro anxious to secure an Increase of the monthly pur chase. Tills could have been readily accom plished last December , but outsldo pressure scorned to render it out of the ques tion for representatives from sil ver states to consider anything short of unlimited cnlnngo at that tlmo. Representative Carter of Mon tana , ono of the foremost frco coinage advo cates snld today ; "During the last sosslon , finding that frco comago could not bo secured. I exerted my self to secure n moro liberal use. of silver under the purchase sysioin. In other words , Undine it impossible to secure all wo desired , I consented to nrcopt oil wo could get , Notwithstanding the fact that the bill wo passed added millions to the profits of the silver minors , many of my constituents , representing the largo silver In terests , thought proper to viciously and , I think unfairly , condemn my course. During this session of congress I have felt con- i strained to take the position my people I seemed to dictate to mo , of asking for Ireo I coinage or nothing , After three months of I earnest effort in this direction I think it has boon clearly demonstrated that on that line of action no progress can Do made toward frea coinago. The result of this experience Mm been to convince the silver committee and nil the representatives I know of from the silver slates , tluu nothing Is to bo gained In substantial legislation by taking a stubborn , uncompromising position. All leg islation on Important questions Is tlio result of comprotnUu nnd , until the friends of free colnnge recognize this principle , thcro In llttio iiono of SIU.TOSS for the free coinage movement. His bettor to secure frco coinage at the end of n brief tlmo by a steady legislative process than to imlollnltel.v postpone that desired ro- suit by stupidly refusing to accept anything , unless all wo doslro Is given in the llrst net p.issod. I would lie glnd to see free coinage tomorrow ami hope to HOC It in n brief tlmo , if Intelligence prevails among the Irlonds of frco coinage. Hut under the policy pursued by the silver men at this session I despair of living to sco the day for frco silver.
