WASHINGTON, March 3.-Three policemen
who seemed charged with heavy response
bi1ity, paced up snd down In frent. of the
forneroy annex to the Arlington Hotel this
morning. 'sWe do not propose" said one of
them, ''to permit any more Guiteaus to get
by u.s." 1t was here that President-elect
Cleveland and his party had come when their
train affived about twenty minutes after 7.
The train reached Washington about an hour
and half later than the railroad officials had
planned it. Still there were but few at the
depot and it was not until an hour or so
later, after the people had read the Albany
dispatch In the morning papers announcing
the departure Of the presidential train,
that it was even generally suspected that
Mr. Cleveland was in town. For some I'M
explained reason>a dispatch sent last night
to the citizens committee, who were to meet
the President-elect upon his arrival here, was
not delivered: but several members of the
committee heard OF his probable arrival early
this morning. Three only of the committee
were on hand to meet him. There was de-
tention of few moments until carriages
were procured and then the party were quiet
ly driven to the Arlington Hotel. Nothing
noteworthy 5ectrred on the way from
Albany 1t was quiet night trip, with
no crowds and but few stops There was no
detention at Jersey City except to change
engines and quickly switch the, train: to the
Pennsylvania railroad track. Mr. Cleveland

E. Cleveland and Mrs. Hoyt, niece, Miss
Hastings, the Rev. William N. Cleveland,

and their two little girls: Bessie and Julia
Lamont, making thirteen IN all,
sey City. The President-elsct slept
soundly and rose early this morning in
excellent health and spirits. Arriving at
the hotel the party repaired to their rooms
where breakfast was served about y O'Clock.
He wrote to President Arthur stating that
arrangements a1teady male will prevent him
from accepting the kind invitation to dine at
the White House this evening. Before MI
Cleveland had finished his breakfast any
number of callers had sent up their cards.
DR.. Bartlett, pastor of the New York avenue
PRESBYTERIAN church and an old schoolmate
of the Prssident-elecf, was the first per-
son who went upstairs and shook
hands with Mr.. Cleveland. Senators Gar
