The trains that left the city last evening at
O'Clock on the Pennsylvania road carried great

raised the quota from this city to over two

THE PRESIDENTS ARRIVAL IN NEW YORK.
The Herald reports the arrival of the party in
New York as follows: At 10 o'clock the assem-
blage in the Pennsylvania depot crowded the
platforms and filed the gallery running from
the Exchange place buildings to the sitting
quired Police Sergeant John White and a dozen
policemen to drive them back to allow passen-
gers from the trains to make their way to the
ferry. President Cleveland and party were ex-

preach of his train to the depot became gen.
The presidential party left the cars at precisely
1O:47 o. clock and reached the Desbrosses street
ferry boat by rapid walk between two deep
lines Of enthusiastic citizens. Cheer upon
cheer was given, but in such subdued manner
that it was plain that the mournful cause of
the minds of all, and that, though honor was
due the chief magistrate, yet respect and
generation were also the due Of the dead Presi-
heads of the crowd, handkerchiefs in the hands
of hundreds of ladies futtered in the breeze
that swept through the depot, but it was an en-
thusiastic display tempered by q great national
grief.
AT THE FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL.
The Presidents party arrived at the Fifth
Avenue hotel last night at twenty-five minutes
past eleven O'Clock. They were anxiously
expected by the throng in the hotel corridors
all the evening. neat little deception had to
be practiced In order to get them into the hotel
without disorder. Detective Pryor whispered it
about "confidentiaIly' that the party would
arrive at the 23d street entrance. Consequently
the crowd gathered there. Several policemen
at this point lent a strong semblance of genu-
lneness to the trick. The elevators were looked
upon, however, as coign of vantage and when
the party did arrive through the ladies' entrance
on broadway there was a sea of eXpectant faces
around that locality. The party arrived in six
carriages, Secretary Whitney and Attorney
were obliged to walk through river of
humanity on the sidewalk between bulwarks
of policemen. Secretary Whitney strOlled into
the hotel in his naturally nonchalent way, and
MIR. Garland appeared deeply interested in the
crowd Inc PRESIDENT came next. He was
accompanied by Secretary Bayard. They sat
side by side in the elevator. Neither said q
word and both gazed complacently at the
myriad OF eyes bent upon them. Then Secre-
tary Villas, Secretary Lamar, in a light-colored
spring coat and tall white hat with black
band around it; Secretary Endicott; Marshall
McMlchael, OF the District OF Columbia, and
Private Secretary Lamont, came along in q
porters loaded with baggage. Vice President
Hendricks was prominently absent. Secretary
Manning was already at the hotel, having
arrived the night before.
