In I. If. Galhrrrit at III r.rav. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. March 18. Siirroundcd by fully l.V or his fellow citlreus, the ri-niiiins of lienjuuiin Harri son were Sunday n fl ii i n interred in the family lot In Crowu Hill cemetery. Close by the grave were the members ol hi fumily, President Mi-Kiiiley mid othei vii-itors of dixtiiirtinu and the more inti ii tt- friends of tieiieml Harrison. Hack a distance of .) yards, behind ropef Kiuiiled (enloiisly by a lurge force of police, stood with liucovered heads t lie gM-iit uiiiltituile who knew liim not so wtll as the)' who stood beside the freshly upturned earth, but who honored him ai'd admired him ipiile as iuik-Ii. It is doubtful if nny public man, at least In this generation, has been borne to hit last resting place among so many manifestations of respect. Of passionute grief then' was little outside the members of his family, but the tribute of respect was universal. There was no exception anywhere to the expression that the na tion had lost one of its ablest men and the greatest man of his generation in his own state. Pj the grave stood the chief innglstrate of the nn I i' m and Is-hind the ropes were the street nrabs of Cicnerul Ilarrisoii'l rily, every grade of human life in Anier Ira between the two was represented In the crowd nod among them all there was but the one feeling, 1 1 uii t a mull had died who was honest nt all times, with himself and with others, and whose ability and character wer such as the nation could ill afford to lose. The weather, like that of Sutnrday, wits splendid. The serviees nt the church ni.d grave were simple ill the extreme, all In most excellent taste and there was an utter absence of friction In everything that was done. All was well orduiued and well performed. AT THE GRAVE. Notsbl Group of Mourners Nurronntlsd the Tnioh, Wlilln Tltfin.nliils llrsrtl ami WnU-lirtt tlis rrfmtnny. (lathered around the Iliirrison lot In Crown Hill cemetery and standing 111 sol id masses along the winding rond which led to the place were the thousands of people who, with IhiwciI heads and limiii festiitions of sincere sorrow watched the funeral procession take Its way through the grounds. It was in arly fi o'clock when the line of ri'letlves and friends came up the grav elled path to the tomb. On the arm of Lieutenant Commander Parker Mrs. Hairisou took her place at the head of the coffin, which had been iMrne to the side of the grave by the pallbearers. Through the heavy mourning veil which she wore there were visible marked signs of her grief. Her lips trembled contin ually and it was evident that she kept her emotion under control by a great effort. Near her on the left stood the General's son. Russell B. Harrison, with his wife, and Mr. and Mrs. McKee. Colonel Har iiso:i kept his eyes fixed upon the casket never turning them away from it during the service. Mrs. ICussell Harrison and Mis. McKee were composed, but now and then a little storm of emotion would slmkr them anil their faces would he buiied In tlieir handkerchiefs. The brothers of Oeuernl Harrison, John Scott Harrison and Carter H. Harrison, stood close together, old men with faces that revealed how deeply they felt their loss. Mrs. Newcomer and Mr. and Mrs. 8. V. Morris were together nt the side of the grave. The other relatives stood to the left aud slightly below them in the circle which was formed for the service of burial. President McKinlcy came to the grave with Mrs. Durliin and stood with her durinir the brief service. When the prayer was offered the president, was seemingly deep in thought and remained to with bowed head after tho final word had been said. lie stood with bared head Immediately beside tho monument of the Harrison family and once, when the weariness of the day had touched him, seemingly he leaned against it for a mo ment. The air hud become chilly, but whilt some others alsmt the grave to pro tect tlieir heads barely raised their hats, the president kept his in bis hands throughout the service. Reside him were (iovemor Durliin and Private Secretary Coitelyou. Ilnrlsl Srrrlce Terr Slniilr. The burial service was very simple and very brief. The Uev. Mr. Xiccol read the short committal and burial service aud the ltev. Mr. Haines followed with a prayer. Instead of following the usual practice, which consists of dropping a handful of dust on the coffin, three white carnations Vicre placed upon the lid. M hen the last word had been said and the service was over, the attendants low ered the cofllii to its place. To the last it bore the wreath from Mrs. Harrison and the limpid of lilies of the valley from little EliziilK'th. On the coffin was placed a heavy wulniit cover and then the gran ite roof of the tomb was lowered and doted. The Inst resting place of Ex-rrosldent Harrison is a tomb five feet deep, en cased in granite four inches thick and covered with a granite top of the same thickness. Of? the reverse side of the cvr la the simple inscription: BENJAMIN HAItRLSON, 1S33-100L The Interior of the tomb "us decorated will- ferns so profusely that no sign of enrth or stoue was visible. Dozens of exquisitely beautiful floral tributes were placed on the tomb and on the ground close by. The arrangements for the services at the grave had been Jiiii-fully perfected. There was not the slightest hitch in any of the details. After the services ut the grave were over and the people had left, carta of earth were unloaded at the fci'uvisidc and the tomb billed and (lowers placed over all. As the people slowly left the cemetery the distant boom of cmiiion tiring the national sulute came to their ears, and by the time the last gun was fired the night was down and the grave alone.

NEW YORK, March Ill-Andrew Carnegie, who, since retiring as an ac tive figure from tile steel world, has been able to devote his time exclusively to his other passion, the founding of libraries, has made his departure for Europe this spring memorable by the largest offer of that kiud ever advanced. If New AKDKKW CARNEOIB. York will provide the sites and mainten ance he has promised to give $5,200,tMX) to establish lio branch libraries in this city. The offer was made in a letter to Dr. John S. Billings, director of the New York public library, last Tuesday. The correspondence in connection with the mutter was made public last night: Mr. Carnegie's letter follows: New York, March 12. "Dr. John S. Billings, Director New York Public Library: "Our conference upon the needs of Greater New Y'ork for branch libraries to reach the mosses of the people iu every district has convinced me of the wisdom of your plans. "Sixty-five branches strike one nt first as a very huge number, but, as otliei lities have found one necessary for every ixty or seventy thou-mnd of population, the number is not excessive. "You estimate the average cost of these libraries at, sny SfHo.lKX) each, being $5, 200,000 for all. If New Y'ork will fur nish sites for these branches for the spe cial benefit of the masses of the people, as it has done for the Central library, and also agree in satisfactory form to provide for tlieir maintenance as built, I should esteem it a rare privilege to be permitted to furnish the money as need ed for the buildings, say $5,200,000. Sixty-five libraries ut one stroke proba bly breaks the record, but this is the day of big operations and New York is soon to be the biggest of cities. ANDREW CARNEGIE." 1,000,0(10 I or St. L-nli.

Mr Rockhiil would not be surprised to hear of his death at any moment. The removal of Li Hung Chang by death or any other cause at the present moment would be very unfortunate.
