WASHINGTON, Special Telegram, March 4.
The president-elect was escorted immedi-
ately to the room of the vice president by
the senate committee. where he remained
until the arrival of the hour ixed for his ap-
pearance in the senate chamber to witness
the induction of Mr.. Hendricks When the
senate assembled this morning the chamber
was in a state of preparation for the first
part of the Inauguration ceremonies. The
line which divides the. seats of the Republic
cans from the Democratic side of the cham-
Der was obliterated, and the senators of both
parties were crowded together on the eastern
or Republican side Of the hall. Chairs were
arranged between the usual seats and in the
a%isles, and by thus crowding together sena-
tors were enabled to vino up the business of
the session before the arrival of the several
bodies who were assigned places on the floor.

row and on the extreme right
Lamar, Garland and Gorman were
seated together, and during most of the
time We're engaged in what seemed to be an
earnest conversation. On the extreme right
of the same row sat Bayard, looking pleas

placed for his temporary occupation, sat But
Ter of South Carolina, his face beaming with
smiles at the sunburst whose brightness was
already visible above the horizon. Pendle-

entered the chamber he paused for a
moment and looked around, as if
uncertain whether to advance. He was
recognized by Mr.. Pendleton, who beckoned
to him. This was particularly noticed in
view of the terribly bitter contest between
the two men for the senatorship, and their
meeting was watched with interest. Mr..
Payne, in obedience to Pendleton's call.
passeddown the main aisle, cordially grasped
the hand which Pendleton extended him, and
took a chair by his side. Voorhees, sat with
Hale, Allison, and Frye, occasionally casting
anxious glances toward the north door.
Presently the clerk of the house entered and

the rattle of small talk which Patterson was
pouring into his right ear.
MIR. EvARTs,
the new senator from New York, sat in the
same vicinity. fianked by Lapham. whom
Evarts succeeds, and Dr. Loring, the aesthetic
commissioner of agriculture. Lapham and
Loring are beyond the average man in
stature and avoirdupois, while Evarts is
below the average, and being sandwiched in
between these two physically heavy weights
Mr.. Evarts appeared at a decided disad-
however, the little man will perhaps out
weigh the two individuals who overlapped
him to-day. Cullom, Dawes and Henderson
formed another group, and appeared to be
enjoying the scenes that were rapidly trans
piring. SpOoner of Wisconsin sat with Angus
Cameron. to whose seat he succeeds. and was
evidently receiving a first lesson from the
mar whose place he to-day assumed. Morrill,
occupied his regular seat, and, as is his habit,
looked grand, gloomy and pecnliar;- while
entertained Maxey and Platt with Incl
dents of his recent trip to Florida.
Meanwhile the galleries We're rapidly filling
with people in their holiday attire. Admis-

of the coveted pasteboards would have ar

for the diplomatic corps and the relatives o.
Mr.. Cleveland. AT IL o'clock a message wal
read from the house announcing that the

Conger wanted to know what had been done
about the public buildings paragraphs of the
bill, which Mr.. Allison explained, and Con

minut later announcement was made thai

upon, This was the last of the supply bills
and the legislative business was virtually
ended with the agreement of the senate tt
