everybody nowadays. A Boston wom-

votes all his attention to the sinners

this reason she says that his sermons

which they ought to have.

shouts of approval Reference to Da-

but when the president spoke of free

tremendous. There were only mild
demonstrations of approval when the
president spoke of his policy in

service there was a silence
broken only by prolonged ''ah' from
a solitary voice in the crowd. The ref
erences to the rehabilitation of the
navy and to the establishment of steam
ship lines elected cheers and cries of
''good," but the most overwhelming
shout of approval was resereed for the
statement of the presidents pension
policy. The crowd cheered again and
again at this point and waved their hats
and canes wildly. At the close of the
address there was another outburst of
applause, during which the presi-
dent turned round and kissed
his wife and daughters. The
crowd for all this time Surged back and

dissolved. A line was formed and the
president retraced his steps to the vice
presidents room of the senate, escorted
by Senator HOar. The senator kept his
umbrella raised within the building
and it was not until he Had twice or
more knocked Mr.. Cleveland'S hat off
that he realized he was no longer in a
rainstorm and lowered his umbrella.
Ex-President Cleveland remained in the
presidents room about five minutes
with Maj. Pruden, one of his secre-
tarieS and then he joined President Har-
risen in the vice presidents room. The
entire party formed in procession and
departed by the east doors of the senate,

HOW IT LOOKED,
An Inspiring Scene From the Re
viewing Stand Music and
Cheers,


Cheers.
Gen. Beaver rode in advance and his
head was uncovered great part of the
time in acknowledgements of the greeting
of the great multitude. The long line
of troops and militia and civilians with
banners and guideOns flying in the
vision. In its marching step vary
ing with the time of the numerous
bands of music, it seemed to roll like
the billOws of the sea, and always on
ward. Over all was heard continuous
roar made up of the voices of thousands
and thousands of spectators as they
cheered the presidential party or greet
ed some particularly fine-looking body
of troops. When the head of the pro-
ceSsiOn reached the treasury a halt
was called, and the presiden-
tial party. in its two carriages,
turned off and drove rapidly
to the White house. When a hasty
luncheon had been taken the party,
with the exception of Mr.. Cleveland,
repaired to the reviewing stand, and
the president and vice president had
their first view of the grand pageant in
part. The stand at this time was filled,
with the. exception of the seats re-
served for the presidents /. party.
When the president and vice
president took their places at
the front of the stand they were at once
recognized by the crowd gathered be-
meath them and mighty shout rent the
air. The steady downp0ur of rain did
not seem to have dampened the en-
thuSiaSm of the crowd, and the cheering
lasted for several minutes. Both Mr..
Harrison and Mr.. Morton raised their
hats in response and bowed right and
left to the crowd. They stood side by

President Cleveland with Senator

Senator Hoar, Vice President-elect
Morton with Senator Cullom, followed
by the members of President Cleve-

Cleveland was the first to enter the
carriage and was followed by Gen.
Harrison and Senators Hoar and Cock
rell. A large white bearskin rug was
placed in the carriage with them, and,
as an additional protection against the
rain, two umbrellas were raised. Presi-
dent Cleveland held one over Gen.
Harrison and himself and the other
was held by Senator Cockrell over him
self and Senator Hoar. President
Cleveland seemed In good spirits, and,
there being some trouble in raising one
of the umbrellas, asked Secretary Fair

have his in its place. jokingly remark
ing, ''We are all honest people and will
return it," Secretary Fairchild laugh
ingly responded, ''l'm not so sure of

dents carriage went ahead a short dis
tance, and the second carriage drove up
for its occupants. These were Vice
President-Elect Morton and Senator
Cullom. Both gentlemen were
heavily clad and had an umbrella
raised. This carriage, like its prede-
cess0rs, was an open landau. 1t was
drawn by the four greys which brought
Gen. Harrison to the White house half
an hour ago. There were five other
carriages, each drawn by two horses.
Secretary Bayard entered the first of
these with Assistant Secretary Moore.
The second contained Secretaries Whit

Fairchild. the fourth Secretary Villas

the fifth Attorney General Garland and
Secretary Colman. Mrs. Cleveland and
Mrs. Folsom witnessed the embarkation
of the party from an upper window, and
seemed to be specially interested in the
proceedings,

TO THE WHITE HOUSE,
And Thence to the Capitol for the
Final Cere monies.

When they were seated there was no
delay, and all the carriages immedi-
ately drOue off. Ten minutes later the
party arrived at the Fourteenth street
entrance to Wizards hotel, and were
escorted to the room which had been
handsomely decorated in their honor.
Gen. HarriSon'S immediate party was
the first to arrive, and were soon fol-
lowed by Mr.. MortOn'S party and the
other members of the two households.
After few minutes spent in receiving
the congratulations of privileged
friends, the general and Mr.. Nor
ton. accompanied by the senate re-
riageS and were driven to the executive
mansion. Great crowds of people
blocked the streets in every direction,
and as the distinguished party made
their appearance they were received
with vociferous cheers. The president
elect rode in closed landau drawn by
four beautiful grey horses and was ac-
cOmpanied by Senators Hoar and Cock
rell. Upon arriving at the White house,
the main doors were trown open and
they proceeded at once to the blue par
lor, where they were soon joined by
President Cleveland and his cabinet.
A second closed landau, drawn by four
spanking bays, drove up to the White
house Immediately behind Gen. Harri-
sons carriage. In it were Vice
President-elect Morton and SEN
ator Cullom. They also proceeded
to the blue parlor. AS the
carriages entered the grounds, the Sew
entieth Indiana regiment presented
arms and saluted the occupants as they
passed. Their recognition of Gen. Har-
rison, their commander, was partic-
ularly enthusiastic. At II O'clock the
presidents carriage, drawn by the we'll
known seal browns and two fine bays,
and driven by Albert Hawkins, the
presidents coachman, drew up to the
entrance, and the party within was in
formed that everything was in readiness
for their departure to the capitol. There
were about twenty people OIL the por-
tico, including correspondents and po-
licemen, and, at given signal, path
way was opened to the carriages. The
party walked out in the following
order:

given to their families and friends, and
consequently resolution had been
passed directing the sergeant-at-arms
OF the house to force pass
ageway through to the gal
leries. Rumors were repeated that
surreptitiOus issues of tickets had been
made and sold at prices ranging from
S25 to $50 apiece. but these evidently
had little foundation. That tickets have
been sold is true, but they are not OF
surreptitious issue. At 1880 the house
resolution was reported to the senate by
the chief clerk, and its reading caused
lively sensation. "What did it mean?'
was asked on every side. and rapidly
the story of the trouble in the house was
circulated. Mr.. Edmunds' prompt
action, moving acquiescenee in the order
of the house. under such regulations
respecting identity as the president of
the senate may prescribe, was looked
upon as clever move, effectively spik-
ing the guns of criticism and disappoint-
ment, and it was agreed to without
delay.

THE INAUGURAL STAND.

Flags---All Prominent Officials
Adorn Their Residences.
The inaugural stand was also gay
with a wealth of flags, banners and
shields. American flags hid entirely
the outside woodwork and banners
were caught up in graceful folds and
relieved at frequent intervals by the
American coat Of arms. Garlands
OF evergreens winding in ser
pentine curves around the stand
added to the effect of the picture.
Several residences of public men in the
neighborhood of the capitol were hand
somely decorated. Surgeon General
HamiltOn's residence was covered with
flags gracefully arranged; huge flag
hung down from the bay window Of
Senator ingalls, house, within a stones
throw OF the building and across the
East Capitol park. Senator Spooner's
fine residence was almost completely
hidden by flags and streamers. The
plaza in front of the capitOl.
the adjacent sidewalks, the porticos and
every coign of vantage from which even
glimpse of the presidential party could
be obtained was black with people. The
police were kept busy clearing the road
way along which the escOrting pro-
cessi0n was to move. The organiza-
tions to take part in the return parade
marched with bands PLAYING by side
streets and avenues to the places adjoin-
ing the capitol grounds. where they
were to assemble. On all sides there
was commingling of marching music
and perfect babel of musical chords
and discords. The shrill pipe of the
flutes, the tap of the drums and the fan
fore of trumpets filed the air. The
noise of the bands was drowned at in
tervals by the hoarse roar of
the crowd as it greeted with
applause some fav0rite organization.
Looking eastward from the treasury,
with the capitol forming a hazy, yet
stately, background, the sight was in
spring. The broad expanse of the
avenue glistened beneath the dull sky.
Like giant mushrooms the umbrellas of
the multitude covered the sidewalks.
The crowds strained against the confin-
ing cable, but the wires held firmly and
the avenue was kept clear for the
troops.

WASHINGTON, March "A great
army surged around the capitol this
morning. 1t began coming in platoons
and companies, and then in regiments.
The rain by this time had ceased, and
there was a prospect of a good day.
Many of the ''early birds" came pro-
vided with lunches and umbrellas, and
took places on the porticos and other
eligible stands to witness the events of
the day. The capitol was the objective
point of most of the strangers arriv-
ing, and they poured in a ceaseless
stream up and down the approaches.
About $50 a fine penetrating rain began
to fall, but every one was even-tempered
and strangers chaffed and guyed one
another good-naturedly. Viewed from
Greenough's statue of Washington, a
hundred feet or more away from the
capitol, the work of the decorators
presented fine effect. The six
teen large Corinthian columns sup
porting the arched roof of the
portico were draped with large Ameri-
can banners. From the top of the six
central columns two large flags of the
United States hung down in graceful
folds and were gathered over the pas
sageway through which the president
walked from the senate chamber to de-
liver his address. Above this passage
way, in the space made by the looping
of the flags, was a large blue
silken banner, stretching from col
umn to column. with the
American coat of arms in the
center, the eagles wings plumed for
flight and in his claws an olive branch
and bundle of silvery arrows. The
edges of the peaked roof were con-
cealed by small banners intertwined.
From the apex of the roof huge Amer
lean flag was run out, and from the
three points numerous pennants of the
nations of the world swung one above
the other from ropes stretched far up
wards to the first balcony of the dome
of the caDitOl .->.- -.--e--

THE COWBOYS.
Buffalo Bill and His Men Elicit
Much Applause.


The Cowboy club, of Denver. COL,
headed by Buffalo Bill, Buck Taylor
and Maj. Burke, formed one of
the most interesting features of the
parade. They were all well mounted
and wore the picturesque dress of
the far West. They were accompanied
by the band of the Flambeau club of
Dodge City, and bore two unique ban
ners, surmounted by enormous horns.
A continuous round of cheers greeted
them all along the line. Buffalo Bill
Col. Cody had previously passed the
reviewing stand as member of Gen.
Beavers staff. He then rode one
of the Arabian stations presented to
Gen. Grant by the sultan of Tur-
key. The Minneapolis Flambeau club
liarly shaped torches at their shoulders
as they marched along. Last of all
came contingent of colored Harrison
and Morton clubs from old Virginia,
winding up one of the grandest civic
and military pageants ever seen in
Washington, just as the twilight began
to thicken i'll the darkness of the night.
When the last of the participants
had passed the stand, President
Harrison, with his son Russell,
grasping an umbrella, walked rapidly
to the White house, followed by Vice
President Morton, and the party passed
within the open portals, out of which
beamed a generous promise of warmth
and light after the fatigues of the day.
The White house was the only public
building in the city that was devoid of
decorations to-day. An American flag.
however, fioated from the staff
on the roof. Several elegant floral
tributes were received at the
White house this morning for President
and Mrs. Harrison. Among them was
beautiful floral design of a four-leaf
clover. the gift of the Clover club of
Philadelphia. and large ship of state
composed of white roses and violets
from the ladies of the Columbia club of
Terre Haute, Ind. The drill of the
flambeau clubs has been postponed un-
til tomorrow night.

HISTORIC FACES.

corted to Their Seats.
Hannibal Hamlin, the venerable ex-
vice president, was escorted to his seat
at the right of the president pro tem.,
Ingalls,, by his friend Capt Basett, and
as he moved across the chamber, over
which he presided for four years. he
was greeted by generous clapping of
hands, the first demonstration of the
day. Mr.. Blaine came in at this
moment by a rear door and modestly
took seat at the extreme end of the
senatorial body. but could not escape
discovery, and ripple of applause ran
over the chamber. This was in
creased to wave as Senator Hale
went down and escorted him to more
prominent seat. For the second time.
President ingalls, rebuked the gallery
and floor for the outburst. Gen.
John c. Fremont only shortly preceded
the entrance of Gen. Sherman and
Major Gen. Schofield and personal
aides. the three latter being gorgeously
uniformed in gold and blue. Gen. Sher-
man wore black Prince Albert with
his G. A. r. badge on the lapel of his
coat. AT 10 the main doors of the
senate were opened, and Doorkeeper
Ghrlsty escorted the diplomatic corps

Minister Preston, of Hayti, head
ed the line and the bright
pageant notably illuminated the
otherwise rather somber scene. The
magnificent figure of the Austrian min
lister, in uniform of white and gold,
was an excellent foil for the color and
gilt of the other uniforms; that of Count
ArcO Valley. the German minister, be-
ing the most pronounced. The pic
turesque costumes of the Corean and
Chinese embassies received their full
share of attention, and after the pro-
cession had been given seats, the plain
people on the floor were sadly neg
lected by the fair ones in the gallery.
Even distinguished notables came in
without attracting much attention.

beyond the cables which ran along the
curb, and busy workmen spun the
wires across the lntersecting
streets. A forest of umbrellas hid the
sidewalks from view. Few indeed were
the spectators who ventured at this
hour upon the unprotected grand
stands. The chairs and benches were
covered with pools of water, and an en-
terprisIng tradeSman did lively busi-
ness for time selling rubber air cush-
ions. Owing to the heavy rain, only a
few hundred people gathered around
the Arlington hotel to witness the de-
parture of the president-elect and party
for the capitol. On the porch of the
johnson Annex were about twenty re-
porterS. and these, with few police
men and some soldiers. constituted the
only persons who saw Gen. Harrison
depart. At 10 o'clock the carriages pro-
vlded by the inaugural committee to
convey the party to the capitol. drew
up in front of the Johnston Annex,
and for a time were the center
of interest to the crowd. a
few minutes later, Vice President
Elect Morton. clad in a heavy ulster,
coming down to his shoe tops, and
wearing high hat, emerged from the
house, escorted by eX-Solicitor General
OF the Navy Department Gen. Williams,
and entered the first carriage. Behind
him came Mrs. Morton on the arm of
Lieut. j. F. Parker. U. S. A., and en-
tered the carriage with her husband.
At 1915 O'Clock large carriage, very
similar to the one used by President
Cleveland, drawn by two beautiful bays,
drove up to the sidewalk for Gen. and
Mrs. Harrison. A few minutes later
the general and Mrs. Harrison. Mrs.
Mckee, Mr.. and Mrs. Russell Harrison,
and the other members of the party de-
scended the staircase leading from their
private apartments to the hall below.

party took seats behind them.
The stand was elabOrately dec

ing, and presented a pretty pic
ture despite the rain. 1t was thr onged
with ladies In gay costumes, and army
Schofeld and his staff occupied seats to
the right of the president, and a num-
ber of naval officers had seats on the
left. Gen. Sherman occupied a con-
spicuous seat. and many diplomats and
prominent officials with their families
were scattered in the throng. Gen.
Alger came on the stand just before the
president, and was received with hearty
cheers. Whitelaw Reid joined the
president soon after he had taken his
place.

THE REVIEW,
A Wel1-Arranged Parade Highly
Appreciated by the President

A Well-Arranged Parade Highly
Appreciated by the President
and Vice President.
The review began Immediately after
the presidents arrival, and was indeed
a beautiful spectacle despite the
adverse surroundings. Gen. Beaver,
chief marshal, headed the line, with
Gen. Hastings as chief of staff, followed
by great number of aides. AS they ap-
preached they barred their heads and
gave the president marching
salute. The president and Mr.. Morton
returned the compliment by removing
their hats. At the same time the band
played Hail to the Chief" and the
crowd cheered vociferously. The first
division presented splendid appear
ance. 1t was composed of United States
troops, marines, naval apprentices, and
the National guard of the district. The
president recognized the salute of
each commanding officer by rails
ing his hat, and he also uncovered
his head as each flag was dipped in sa-
Lutte. He spoke frequently to Mr.. Nor
ton in cOmmendation of the marching
OF the different regiments and inquired
particularly as to the identity of Col.
Cecil Clay, commanding the second dis
trict regiment who raised an empty
sleeve in giving the usual salute. The
alignment of several companies
was disturbed as they passed
the reviewing stand by strong de-
sire on the part of certain members to
get glimpse of the chief magistrate.
During a-lull in the review, an excited
colored individual ON the sidewalk di-
rectly below the reviewing party, called
for three cheers for Harrison and Nor
ton. They were given with hearty
vlgor that was really. inspiring, and
were followed Immediately by three
cheers for Mrs. Harrison, which compli-
ment the president acknowledged with
a bow. The fireworks exhibition
has been postponed until the
weather becomes more propitious.
The National Guard of Pennsylvania
composed the second division. 1t was
commanded by Maj. Gen. John f. Hart
ranft. and, as usual, when the guard
has appeared at the capitol, it created
sensation. The perfect alignment of
the marching columns as the passed the
presidents stand, they soldierly bearing
of The men and their all-ready-fOr-any-
emergency equipment, called forth
h'Om the great crowd cheer after cheer
of admiration. The third division was
commanded by Gov. j. B. Foraker, of
Ohio, and as he, accompanied by his
staff, approached the presidents stand
