so FAB AS NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. THAT
ARE COMING.
Chairman Wright, of the public comfort COM
mittee, and Mr.. Fred Wright, the secretary of
the committee, came into the Atlantic build
ing little after noon to-day, carrying their
books under their arms, and opened business.
The first thing Chairman Wright inquired for
was corkscrew. This made a number of per-
sons in the building, who heard what Chair
man Wright wanted. gravitate toward the room
of the public comfort committee. Chairman
Wright wanted the corkscrew to open bottle of
ink with. The committees headquarters are in
one of the front rooms on an upper floor.
Col Wright or Mr.. Evans will be in charge,
and during the day there will be clerk
present. Col. Wright said to-day that he
wanted every one who would have a room or
rooms to let, or could furnish meals, to come
up and inform the committee of the fact. He
has, he said, already received great many ap-
plications from organizations and individuals
for quarters, and had placed great many.
The hotel, Col. Wright said, are now refusing
applications for rooms on the 4th of March.
This is not because all the rooms have been
taken, but because the hotel men prefer to hold
their rooms for their regular customers.
There was some talk to-day about applying
for the use of public school buildings for quar-
terS IOr tne ftnnsy1Vanla troops. One ODJec-
ton urged is that the seats and desks would
have to be removed from the rooms used.
THE GRAND MARSHAL.
Already gossip has had several different dis
tinguished men chosen for the post Of grand
marshal of the inaugural parade. Gov. Beaver,
of Pennsylvania, is mentioned for the place.
He has been suggested by number of per-
sons who have written to the committee. As
Pennsylvania contributes so largely to the
inaugural pageant it is urged that it would be
fitting to select the chief marshal from that
state. One of the members of the executive
committee speaking to a STAR reporter to-day
said he thought the choice of Gen. Beaver
would be good one. Another member of the
committee spoke of the especial fitness of Gen.
Sherman for the Office. Gen. Schofeld is also
spoken of. The executive committee has not
yet considered the matter.
COL. SWORDS AS SECRETARY.
Chairman Britton to-day received telegram
from Col. II. L. Swords, at Des Moines, saying,
II accept the secretaryship you kindly tender
me through Gen. Dudley. When shall re-
port?" Mr.. Britton sent a reply requesting
Col. Swords to report Immediately.
Col. Swords was sergeant-at-arms of the ma
tional republican committee during the last
campaign.
THE FLOOR AND PROMENADE COMMITTEE.
Chairman Britton to-day appointed DIR. NJ
L. Ruth, of the navy, as chairman of the floor
and promenade committee. This is the last
Craftsmanship to be filed.
