Washington, March 3.-The crowd about the
Arlington Hotel to-day differed strilIngy from the
crowds Of Thursday, Friday and Saturday Then
the lobbes were the political centre of the town.
On the comfortable chairs and lounges which are
scattered around the big lounging room sat dozens
Of anxious politicians all debating the great qucs
tion in Cabinet-making. which seemed then un-
settled. Every now and then newcomer full of
information would drop in and quickly be sur
roundcd by a circle OF admiring qneStioners
The passaeeway toward the Annex where the
PreSident-elect had his quarters was worn almost
IA beaten path by the callers circulating between
the hotel office and the stairway leading to Gen
eral Iiarrison's parlors. Scarcely i've minutes
would go by without some fresh bit OF political
gossip being set aaoat. and half an hour in the
lobby, ioStng against men from every State IN
the Union. seemed almost a liberal education in
National politics.
To-day. however, all this was changed. The
announcement that General Harrison would re-
ceive no political callers and the fact that both
houses OF Congress were in the turmoil and ex-
citement OF the full day OF a session combined TO
SHIFT the centre OF interest once more to the
Capitol and the Arlington was given over chiefly
10 the curious mob of Sighiseers, who to-day be-
gan to make their first serious impression on the
city. Only here and there could be seen genu-
