the city made it visit. Business was
practically at a stand-still in all depart
ments, pending the change OF official
heads. Sight-seers steamed through
the corridors and kept clerks busy
answering questions. The President
came down shortly after 10 O'Clock, took
his station in the East Room and began
the ordeal OF shaking hands with the
crowds as they passed before him. The
President continued the reception up to
8 80 O'Clock, and shook hands with
thousands of persons including the mem
bers of many military and civic organi-
cations. Secretary Blaine came in with
the rest of the crowd and stopped for
short chat with the President. He was
recognized by the waiting throng as he
lett the House and was given quite an
ovation.
Another conspicuous visitor was Rep
resentative Randall, who called with the |
Pennsylvania organizations. George |
Barnum, of New York. and staff, and |
Governor Hoard and staff were also
among the staff. AT 80 O'Clock the |
grounds were still thronged The re- |
ception was, therefore, closed for the day, |
and those in waiting were informed that, |
as it was impossible for the President to |
shake hands with all of them, he would |
come out on the porch and review them
as they passed along. This announce
ment was well received and the crowd
formed in line and marched across the
portico, while the President stood in the
doorway bowling his acknowledgment
of their salutations. Several organiza-
tions were in the line thus reviewed.

RowDY MILITIAMEN.
The Pennsylvania troops became very
disorderlY to-day, and, at one time, it |
looked as if there might be serious
trouble. A crowd Pennsylvania mill
tiamen had congregated on Z street, be-
tween Eighth and Ninth, and completely |
blockaded the thoroughfare, daring all |
pedestrians and drivers to pass the line.
A patrol of police several times dispersed
them, but after while it was found nee
essary to appeal to General Hastings,
who ordered General Crawford, OF
the Tenth Pennsylvania to clear the
street and keep it clear. The colonel de-
tailed company to charge up and down
the street with fixed bayonets, and in
this way the mob was broken up. Most
OF the rioters were partly intoxicated,
and they made themselves terror to
hucksters, keepers of small stands, and
peddlers by rihiDg them of their goods
and severely handling them whenever
they offered any resistance.
