WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The premOnitory
hmm OF Inauguration day increases in vol
ume subject Of considerable discussion and
difference of opinion between General So
cum, the grand marshal, and the maug-
ural Committee has been whether the line
Of march shoud he kent clear Of spectators from curb TO
curb General slocum, as well as the Chief of Police,
represented that the military could not form such long
lines as to reach the wide avenue and would pre-
fer not march along the car tracks In the centre OF inc
street so oneha of the street may be surrendered
TO the public The committee however, maintained
their position that the parade would be more imposing
II the military marched in the centre OF the avenue and
the public kept the sidewalks General Slocum
has acquiesced in this view. 1t is estimated that l75
600 people be packed the sidewalks OF Pennsyi-
vaua-ave from First to Seventeenth sis.
The committee meets with numberess difficulties Thc
GRAY Invincibles of Philadelphia cOlored organization
for instance Las entered complaint because it was ree
gated colored division of the parade instead OF be-
ing permitted to march with the other Penn
syvania troops. The committee will comply
with their wishes. The fact that the Goth
Regiment and the Grenaders Rochambeau, French
society are tho only military organizations coming from
New York City has caused some comment Whether thls
is OF the hard times or because the militia have
not always been pleased with Their treatment
at the hands OF the authorities is an open
question This is one Of the that indicate that in
respects, the pageant may not be as imposing as
that OF four years ago.
In order that the may not get blockaded by the
whole body of soldiers marching to the Capitol as escort
Mr. Cleveland, it has been decided that only the lst
Division composed of Regulars and District Militia, will
escort him from the Arlington Hotel to the Capitol the
other three divisions forming in Maryland, NewJersey
Delaware east of the Capitol and falling into
line after the Inaugural ceremonies The route will he
by the north side of the Capitol to Pennsylvania
ave. to Washington Circle, to Kst., to
Conneccut-ave, to Rhode Island-ave. TO
observation-disclosures, to Fourteenthst, where the
parade will be dismissed. The committee asserts
that 0OO will be in line. General Ordway, Chief
OF Staff has arranged TO the field telegraph OF the
Signal Corps for telegraphing between dyi-
sions as the line will be four five
miles long. This will facilitate communication and tend
to prevent delays. 1t is stated that large majority OF
the seats the street stands have been sold The Com
mittce Public Order has made extraordinary prepara-
tons preserve peace aud arrest pcpockes and law
breakers In addition to 800 special police has sent to
number the large cities for detectives and for pictures
OF pickpockets that the lghtfngered gentry"
may be duly welcomed and quarters assigned to them
Sixty OF the Regulars full uniform will be on duty at
the Inauguration Ball. The military Of the Southern
States will naturally make up good share Of the
parade and the late COnederacy was also kindly remeln
bered in the appointment of General Fitz Hugh Lee
Marshal of of the divisions The lack of military
from New York will be compensated for by those fear
less warriors, the Tammany braves, 800 strong the
County Democracy 1,2O0 strong, and the Irving Hall
contingent of 200.
