Arriving by Every Train.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March 3.-There are prob
ably two thousand Indianians in Washing
ton tonight. They continue to pour in by
the hundreds. The headquarters in the
Metropolitan Hotel, presided over by Col.
Bridgland, Dr.. w. r. Johnson, c. w. Fair
banks and General Carnahan, of Indianap-
oils, have been overrun constantly with
Hoosiers. At the headquarters it is stated
tonight that from five to eight hundred
more Indianians will arrive before daylight
tomorrow morning, so that the grand total
of Hoosiers who will view the parade will
be something like three thousand. 1t will
be remembered that during the campaign
General Harrison said that he was very
proad of the manner in which his home
psople were standing by him, and that it
did him more good than anything else.
he said, further, that if he was inaugur-
ated President of the United States he
hoped to be escorted by the boys who
fought at his side quarter of a century
ago, and that he hoped to see Pennsylvania
avenue lined with Hoosiers. 1t begins to
look as though his wish would be carried
out with some extras Good weather is
predicted for tomorrow, and the greatest
preparations are completed for the inaugur-
alton that ever characterized an event of
this kind.
Among those who arrived to-day, and
called at the Journal bureau, were George
W. Patchell. editor of the Union City
Times; Mr. w. Ii. James. of the Journal
