The sceno at the depots last night was
that Of dense crowd, Of which every in
dividual was anxious to leave for home,
and only awaited chance to board a
train. Many members Of civic and milf
tary organizations and other visitors
were at the depot early in the evening,
and awaited for hours to leave.
| Up to l o'clock twenty trains, carrying
about 1i,000 passengers, had left the
depot with trains leaving every fifteen
minutes. IL was estimated that by @
o'clock this morning between 25,000 and
10000 people would be carried from
Washington at one depot alone, the num-
Der only depending ON tho capacity of
the trains. The reason trains cannot be
run at shorter intervals than fifteen min
utes Is one of safety. No'two trains are
allowed to be on one block or between
TWO telegraph stations at one time, in
this way preventing possibility ofcollision.
