Correspondence Of the American Republican. I

WASHINGTON, March |, 1915.
To those citizens of Baltimore, who purpose
to pay us an Inauguration visit, it may not be
amlss to impart little information in advance
of their trip, which will the better enable them,
in the unusually crowded state of this metropo-
lis, to find comfortable accommodations, and to
enjoy those extraordinary sights which are the
objects OF every strangers attention, who visits
the seat of the general government. Now, as
the principal hotels on Pennsylvania avenue are
already crowded, and have been compelled to
turn away many guests and visitors, il will be
useless to calculate on lodgings at Colcmans,
Browns, Tyler s. Birch's, Fuller's or Gala
bruins. 1t is possible, although not very pro-
bable, that the McGraths, Jewett s King,
Beers, Hall, Jenkins and Moran, who keep no.
tells and tavcrns on Pennsylvania avenue, may
have vacant beds. Should the stranger be UNI
able to obtain lodgings on Pennsy lvaia avenue,
| would recommend him to 90 to the Exchange
hotel in street, the Columbia hotel in street,
DE Saues on 18th street, Sweeting's on G. ST.,
Foy's, Bakers and Conolly'S, on ID street, and
Makers Globe hotel, Buffers on ST.; Cooks,
near the Centre market, or Favier's in the LIST
ward, beyond the Presidents house. In all
these establishments ! am certain the stranger
may find comfortable quarters, although, from
the crowded state of every hotel, tavern, rcfec-
tory and boarding house, it may be difficult for
a stranger on the night of the 81 and 1th of
March, to get bed to himself or even mat
tress on the floor. | was informed last night,
on enquiry at Browns hotel, that they had dur
ing yesterday, turned away about 600 persons,
for want of room. AS to those persons who
visit Washington only for The day and do not
want beds, there will be enough, and to spare,
| | have no doubt, in all the taveIns, refcctories
lntNl r . u
visiters who may want breakfast, dinner, sup
per, or refreshments of any kind If the visi-
ter who spends only the 4th of March in WASH
ington, can spare an hour or two from the &C.
remonics Of the Inauguration, would recon-
mend him, By all MEANS after viewing the Ca
ptol and the Capitol gardens, to visit the Patent
lutionary relics, and other wonderful and inte-
resting objects, with which the grand and spa
| cious Museum abounds;-here the stranger
might spend week, and on each successive
day find something new, wonderful and pleas
ing TO his observation. Let him not fail to en-
quire for the easement in which is contained
the original treaties with foreign powers, to
which are attached the proper signatures of the
Emperor Alexander of Russia, George III and
w. and William " and Victoria, of England;
Napoleon and Louis Philippe, of Frances Fer
dinand, Of Spain; Bernadotte, Talleyrand, SC.
Let the stranger also view the sword the camp
chest and uniform worn by Gen. Washington.
These are sights of great interest to the stran-
ger, and he cannot help being gratifed by Sec
ing them, which he may easily do, if he have
only an hour to spare from the other great at
fractions of the day. Ifhe has time to remain
more than one day, let him visit the Navy-yard,
Congress Burial ground, the Observatory, the
Public Departments, Georgetown College, the
Aqueduct, sc. He will find all these places
and buildings well worthy his attention.
