Inauguration.

Washington, 2. Active preparations for
the inauguration festivities have been in pro-
gress throughout the city to-day. A large
force has been at work en- ths decorations of
the ball Building and Pennsylvania avenue.
This has been spanned in fifteen places with
arches and lines of streamers, and swept from
the White House to the Capitol, as we'll as
streets which the procession passes. Trains
| from all directions yesterday and to-day have
| been overloaded, and as a consequence far
behind time. They have poured constant
stream of visitors into town and it is doubtful
whether so many visitors were ever before
gathered here. Tomorrow and next day
trains will arrive every half hour from the
east, and with all the facilities of the great
lines east, there will be great difficulties in
transporting the crowd expected. The West
Point battalion will arrive at daylight, aud be
quartered at the Ebbi;t house, where nearly
two floors have been prepared for the cadets.
| New mattresses have been made for the
rooms and the cadets will come in marching
order with their own blankets. The battalion
with its officers and band numbers 367. They
will have separate mess halls from the guests
and communication with their quarters has
been cnt off from the rest of the house, ex.
cept by .stairways. Strict military dieipline
will by observed. The corps of naval cadets
and be quartered at the National in similar
manner. The Boston Lancers arrived this
evening, 200 strong, marched to the Capitol
and afterward up the avenue to their quarters
at the National. Several militia companies
from the west will arrive at daylight. The
condition of the weather has been most I'M
satisfactory to all engaged in the preparations
for the outdoor display. The work on the
avenues has progressed in the face of storm
which began at daylight and has continued
either in the form of snow or rain all day.
The rotunda and the Senate wing Of the cap
itol were damned with a crowd at an early
hour. Many looked as if they had found no
shelter at the hotels and had taken refuge
here rugged in travelling costumes.

mandant of the artillery school at Fortress
