the National capital.
Washington, March 4.-Washington
entertains to-day Il hundred thousand
strangers. They began TO come for
the dedication of the monument, and
they have been coming all day and
NIGHT ever since. They have come in
family parties, in clubs and companies
and regiments. The hotels were filled
a week ago, and private boarding
houses and dwellings have since done
what they could to lodge the shelter
less and feed the hungry. Neverihe-

brought little beside their patriotlc
memories and eXultant hopes, tramped
the avenues last night from necessity,
and breakfasted this morning with
the coffee and sandwich vendors OF
the markets and street corners.
The morning opened hazily, but
with excellent promises of a fair day,
which were fulfilled before O'Clock.
The throngs were abroad early, walk
ing and riding from point TO point TO

Al the intersection ofthe lines OF t
building were stars of gold, a

some shields bearing the names
AT the states of the union, all linked
