WAsHINaToN March Again the same
scenes in Washington: again the massing OF
humanity in rank and file. In surging crowds.
and with tho added feature OF thousands

In the windows; again the buoyant tread Of
legions dropped by long winding trains at the
city outskirts and marching deep into tho tan

his bedchamber the absorbing question. What
kind Of a day Is it2' 1t was glorious golden
Southern spring morning. with hot sun blaz-
ing In bright blue sky. and the answer WAS
cheering. Just Cleveland's luck" said many
inuuircrs. and the idea was caught up after
ward on the streets. In the newspapers. and
wherever men assembled. SO that another
tribute was paid to tho good genius Of tho new
President. Out OF doors all was confusion. 1t
had seemed last night from the behavior OF the
crowds in the streets that there would not bo
many persona sober enough to see the inaugu-
ration ceremonies. but this was at once unjust
TO the sober stay-at.h homes and to the drinking
capacity Of the avererago American. The dry
asphalt roadways were crowded with men,
women. and children. and only tho wet and
spongy brick sidewalks afforded room for those
who had to make haste from one point to
another. Still the militia and tho clubs contin-
ned to pour in from the railroad depots and
down every street that led to Pennsylvania
avenue the bands and drummcrs led the way for
the orderly. compact ranks of proudly march
ing men. The cye and the inind were cuntinu-
ally distracted by simultaneous bursts Of
music. explosions OF applause for popular
organizations. the screams Of women fleeing
from the honfs OF pranciHg or runaway horses
the movements Of solidiy-pRcked swarms of
negroes pushing everybody before them. tho
antics Of drunken men. tho queer garb Of tho
omnipresent Southerners. tho mildly per-
suasivs methods OF tho city police in Grand
Army toggery. the decorations OF the houses.
and the uplifting OF the siGhtseers on tall
stands. scaffoids. balconies and roofs.
1t was like getting into n human press to
penetrate the crowds that packed Pennsylvania
avenue from side to side. II was next to i'm

But through the main streets there swept a
Eentle breeze. like tho wind OF a million soft
fans. cooling the brows Of the people and tho
perspiring hides OF tho horses.
This was the condition Of things In tho cap

fusion indoors and out. but through it all a
sertan vague system WAS psrceptibio. All the
marching bodies Of men were making their
several ways to the places assigned them by
Grand Marshal Socum. who dashed hither and
thither. picturesque. soldorly. and important.
Tho people wero divided in their methods.
Those who had money to spare. tickets in the
pockets. or friends to fall back upon were
struggling for good places from which to see
