But tbe response of the confident and Imperturbable commander was the ever recurring order, "By the left flank, forward," and to hi countrymen, I will fight it out on this line If It takes all summer." Criticising Cabinet, hostile Congressman, doubting Generals and distrustful people ail surrendered with lee at Appomattox. On resuming his seat after-the able address it waa several minutes before quiet could bo restored, tba repeated shouting and clapping of hands being almost deafening. 7 When quiet was restored Dr. John Hall pronounced the benediction and tbe services ended by the firing of a salute of twenty-one guns from the U.

S. S. Miantonomoh stationed in the Hudson. During the firing of the salute the carriages of the Washington party were surrounded by their friends who vied with each other in pressing forward to shake hands with the Chief Magistrate. After soma mors mnsio and the ceremony being ended, Mr.

Harrison and party shook hands with those nearest them and returned to the hotel. As soon as the party had left over 200 schoolboys passed in procession by the tomb and scattered flowers upon it, followed by number of private citizens and others, who east their bouquets upon the last resting place ot the famous General. The ceremony was marked as being without pomp or ostentation, in fact, anch one aa ths deceased General would have desired. There was no marked martial display, but here and there In the crowd was a sprinkling ot officers ot the army and navy. The whole ceremony was civil from every point of view.

The erowdsd stand, with the veterans the Grand Army of the Republic, in number about 8,000, formed in line round and about the reeting place of their dead hero, with the charming aceaery along the Hudson Hirer and the Palisades in the dlatanoa, formed a pio-ture which ha eeldoa it ever been quailed. Shortly after noon the Presidential party, escorted by Troop A of the National Guard ot the State of New York, left the Fifth Avenue Hotel and proceeded by way of Broadway to Eighth venue to 110th street to Riverside Park. In the carriages were President Harrison, lira.

Grant and members of her family, Secretary Foster, Secretary Busk, Secretary Zlklns, Postmaster-General Wanamaker, Private Secretary Halford and many other distinguished guests. As the Presidential party approached the tomb the United States baud played "Hall to the Chief," while heads were uncovered, handkerchiefs waved and the Immense throng shouted lta huzzas. As the carriages drew up in front of the tomb the President stood, hat In hand, and bowed on all sides for answer to the magnificent greeting accorded him. Alter lew inomente quiet fraa act. Dr.

The President of the Grant Monument Association, General Horace Porter, then delivered an address, detailing in brief the doings of the Association and their status since the inception of the project. The event ot the day was the next on the programme, namely, the laying of the corner stone by President Harrison. After putting some mortar round the stone with gold trowel that Superintendent Brady had made for the occasion, the stone was lowered Into position. The cornerstone box made of copper was then filled with the relics which will be buried in It.

They were: Constitution of United States, Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, the Bible, Memories of Gen, Grant, Memorial Day pamphlet, May 80 and 81, 1886; a copy of Mayor Grant's proclamation regarding the Grant Monument, new American flag, medals and coins from the United States mint and various illustrated and dally papers.

While visiting the capitals of the Old World he had men tlie stately mausoleums ot their great soldiers, or statesmen, resting in the gloom of cathedral crypts or the solitude of public places.

Kw Toex, April 27. A combination has been formed between the Thorn son-Houston Electric Company, the Edison General Electric Company, and ths Thomson-Houston International It amount to a virtual consolidation of these three great companies tinder a common management, A new corporation has been formed under the laws of the State of New York, which will absorb the stock of the separate companies.

Tbe capital of the new consolidated company, to be called the' General Elee- -tric Company, is fixed at $30,000, OOOTj Ine Edison General lectrio Company has at present a capital of $15,000,000. The Thomson-Honstoa Company has capital ot $10,000,000. The headquarters of ths new company will be in New York city. Mr. H.

McK. Twombley was to be the first President ot tbe company, but Mr. C. A. Coflln of Boston, the General Manager of tbs Thomson-Houston Company, la bow to hold this office.

The understanding between the Edison General Electric Company and tbe Thomson-Houston Electric Company has been la existence some month. Early in the year Mr. Henry Villard retired from the presidency of the Edison General Electric Company.and Waa succeeded by Mr. H. McK.

Twombley. It was then known that Mr. J. Plerpont Morgan had exerted himself to bring about an agreement between the Thomson-Houston Company and the Edison General Electric Company to unite their interests. Some difficulties were thrown in the way by tbe heavy tax which the New York State law imposes upon corporations, but this was removed by an act of the present Legislature, reducing the tax on the capital stock of the General Electric Company to one-twelfth of one percent.

June 1 is the date for the new company to go into operation. On that day, if the arrangements are completed, the Tbomson-Houstou Company in this city willmova into the Edison headquarters. In Philadelphia the Edison Company will move into the Thomson-Houston Company's building. In Washington the Edison Company's building will be selected as headquarters. Besides owning many patents for electric lightning and different sorts of dynamos, the combined companies hold the Sprague Trolley Wire system for electric railways.

It is believed that the use of this system will be largely extended throughout the country. The consolidation ot these companies was brought about by profitless competition. The Yanderbilts, in particular, whose Interests are represented by Mr. Twombly had invested large sums in the Edison General Electric Company, and it was at their instigation that Mr. Morgan undertook to bring about the original i A BTATK OF ANARCHY FBKTAIXS.

Young had betrayed the doings of the Senate in secret session. Mr. Youug demanded an investigation, but this was refused, and the resolution of Mr. Hale declaring the office vacant was adopted by the Senate largely on the representations of Messrs. Sherman and Hals that the refusal to adopt the resolution would be disrespectful to tbe Committee on Foreign Relations, which htd reported it favorably.

i There waa much indignation expressed at this action of the Senate, both in newspaper circles and elsewhere, and in order to ascertain the truth or falsity ot the charges preferred by Senator Hale, a number of correspondents have addressed communication to the standing committee of correspondents in charge of the press galleries of the Senate and House, requesting an investigation ot Mr. Young's case.
