every one OF them vacant. What can have been the

dated by the almost equal precipitation of half q
dozen others, both men and women, who followed
hard upon the heels of the winner of the race.
Anxious to know the canse Of these peoples agita-

man who had first attracted his attention, and

The man thrust his chin forward, and rubbed his

Washington, March At rained and
showed ut intervals all last night and
at a. m, was showing rapid, but at
this hour 40 o'clock) the clouds are
working away and the sun is shining.
All Washington was out at an early
hour Notwithstanding the storm and
men, women and children were hurrying
through the snow and slush from every
direction, all intent on reaching Penn
sylyania avenue to witness the inaugural
procession, or to the capitol to be pre-
sent at the ceremonies to take place
there. During the entire night trains,
laden with military and civilians, ar
rived and continued throughout the
morning to pour their living freight in
to the streets of the city. Stands were
erected at various points capable Of
seating $4,000 people and every seat
was sold. 1t is estimated that so, 900
strangers are in the city. At 1880 q.
m, the sun commenced shining quite
brightly with a chilly March wind
blowing from the northwest. at this
hour the greater portion of the popula-
ton Of Washington and Georgetown
are out along the line of march and,
with the strangers here, over 1907 0(
assembled to witness the procession,
The sidewalks on Pennsylvania avenut
along the route were literally packed
and the windows Of the buildings a
well as the stands were crowded with
spectators. The various divisions
marched along the avenue according tc
the programme, and at 1890 the head
Of the possession passed around thu

THEATRICAL.
MAzEpPA.


The Dramatic theatre was we'll oiled
last night, to welcome the popular act
ress, Miss Fannie Louise Buckingham,
back to our city. The favorable inn
preston made by this lady when here
three years ago was a guarantee that her
reception would be all that any artistic
could desire, and all who witnessed the
performance last night agree in the one
verdict--that she has greatly improved
since her last appearance here, both in
elocution and acting. Her fencing is
probably not equaled by any lady upon
the stage, and we certainly accord to
Miss Buckingham all honors in her
mastery rendition of ByroH's ideal
character.
The company is much better than the
m which supported Miss Buckingham
when in u city before, and gave such
general satisfaction to the large audi
ence last night, that for the matinee
this afternoon and tonight we predict
packed houses. The prices Of admis-
sion for the matinee will be so cents;
children, % cents.

Chicago, March A dispatch from
Miles City, Dakota, says: On the I'd
inst. Tongue river broke up and gorged
two miles above this city. The water
there took a southwesterly direction
and flooded the city to the depth of
three feet. Families at once began to
move to places of safety on the bluffs.
where they were furnished with tents
and other necessaries by the command
ing officer at Fort Keogh. The water
fell last night. Partially successful at
tempts were made to blow up the
gorges, but two yet remain, and the city
is still threatened. Much inconve-
nience and discomfort was occasioned,
but no serious damage is done yet.
