As the Fifth Maryland regiment band
Of this division was opposite the stand
it played the 'sStar Spangled Banner,n
and the thousands of people occupying

and cheered again and again. and
when the band, after passing
the president, struck up my Mary-

was repeated. The only full regiment
in the Third brigade was the famous
Seventh New York regiment which
was received with tremendous
cheering. AS company after company
passed by. in perfect alignment, the
great crowd was almost beside itself
with enthusiasm. The Fourth brigade
was composed of infantry, the National
rifles, of Washington, acting as
escort to the brigade commander.

had assumed a darker hue when that
club passed the reviewing stand. But
though their garments were injured by
the pelting rain, their courage and
patriotism were not affected, and with
uncovered heads they paid their re-
SpectS to the new president. The
American club, of PittSburg, was next
in line, and presented an unique ap-
pearance. By this time, owing to the
lateness of the hour, number of the
organizations had dropped out of line
and did not pass the reviewing stand,
consequently the continuity of the pro-
gramme was broken. The Union
League club, of New Jersey, clad in
light overcoats, presented handsome
appearance. One and all doffed their
hats as they passed President Harrison.
In black suits and silk hats, the 200
representatives of the Business Mems

showing, and cheer after cheer went up

lection" npon his covering. He figured

WASHINGTON, March 4.-This was a
great day for Benjamin Harrison, and a
great day for the republic. The senate
chamber was metamorphOsed during
the recess, which ended at $50 this
morning. In front of the presidents
desk stood three large, leather-covered
chairs for president Cleveland and the
president and vice president-elect. In
the sem-circle in front of the presiding
officers desk were more chairs and
lounges for heads of departments, COM
manding officers of the army and navy,
and those who have received the thanks
of congress by name. The end seat on
the center aisle was especially marked
for Hon. George Bancroft. On the
right were more chairs for the justices
of the supreme court. To the left of
the desk were chairs for the committee
of arrangements, Senators Hoar, Cullom
and Cockerell, and opposite them was
the space reserved for the eX-presidents
and vice presidents of the United States,
represented by Hon. r. B. Hayes, of
Ohio, and Hon. Hannibal Hamlin.
of Maine. The first two rows of seats
to the right, back of the supreme court.
were reserved for the diplomatic corps.
and back of them were the seats set
apart for the members of the house of
representatives and members-elect. Op-
pOsite sat the senators. and in the rear
governors of states, or senators, COM
missioners of the District of Columbia,
and others. Although the senate wing,
technically, was not open till 10 o'clock,
the galleries in some way began to fill
up by 9, and by 10 they were at least
half occupied. The buzz of converse
ton went on with ever-increasing vol
ume until it was almost impossible to
hear what occurred at the opening of
the senate after the recess. At 9:4O
Senator Plumb, in the presence of a
half dozen other members of that body.

bill to settle all land grants in the state

Seventeenth Indiana volunteers.
The president and president-elect and
the vice-president-elect in their car
riages were sheltered by umbrellas
from the penetrating rain, but were
plainly visible TO the populace. which
cheered and shouted its welcome at
every step. Another section of the
escort marched behind the cortege. The
third brigade of the first division was
National guard, under command of
Gen. Albert Ordway. A Calling gun
battery, with their curious death-deal-
ing machines, brought up the rearof
the first escorting division. At IL :335
the music of the bands and the cheer
ing of the crowd announced the arrival
of the van of the escort to the presi-
dental party. At that time the
chief of the capital police at
tended by six OF his assistants descended
the marble steps of the east portico OF
the senate wing to keep the crowd from
intruding itself within the prescribed
limits. A few minutes later the head
of the approaching procession made its
appearance, having left Pennsylvania
avenue and going through the southern
part of the capitol grounds. passing the

ing up the east front to the senate por-

same order it left the Arlington, and,
considering the disagreeable weather,
its appearance was very creditable.
When the crowd recognized Gen. Bea-

cheered loudly, which compliment was
recognized by the general by lifting his
hat

Gems. Sherman and Schofeld and staff,
Admiral Porter, representatives and
members-elect, governors of states and
others admitted to the floor of the SEN

arranged. the members of the press, by
the courtesy of the committee OH ar
rangements, were permitted to reach
the platform in advance, by means of a
private stairway, and take their seats.
The occupants of the gallery were held
in their places while the procession
was moving, so that there was no
delay or interruption, and in, five
minutes from the time of leaving the
senate chamber President Harrison
was reading his inaugural. The spec.
tacle, though indubitably marred by the
weather, was worthy of such all event.
In driving rainstorm were countless
thousands of citizens of, the republic,
hOarsely cheering and shouting the
name of the president. From one end
of the east front of the long and stately
capitol, was to be seen dense mass Of
umbrellas, while Immediately about the
inaugural platform great numbers of
people were packed in unmOvable mass
exposed to the rain. The crowd insthe
streets kept up constant cheering.

ceSSion from the senate appeared at the
doors of the rotunda, President Cleye-

in small rallied enclosure erected in
the center of the front of the stand.
Such members of the senate, diplomatic
corps and of the house of representa-
tives, and number of such officers of
the government as cared to brave the
rigOrs of the elements, then came on i'm
a body. When the crowd saw the presi-
dent, there arose an uproar like the
rushing of the waters of Niagara. The
cheering was renewed again and again,
and it was not until President Harrison
had several times raised his hand for
silence that order was restored.

ARRANGEMENT OF SEATS.
How the Distinguished People
Were Provided For

The presidents and vice presidents
seats in the gallery, adjoining the diplo-
matte gallery on the north, were ar
ranged as follows: Front seat to right,
presidents family; second seat TO the
right, family of the president pro
tempore; first seat to the left. family of
the president elect: second row. family
of the vice president: third row, rela-
tiveS of the president and president
elect. The first one TO take a place in
that seat was Mrs. John V. L. Findlay,
of Baltimore, whose husband is Gen.
HarrisOn's cousin. The first ar
rival in the diplomatic gallery
was that of Assistant Secretary
of State G. L. Rives and
wife. They were followed by Mrs. Gen.
J. W. Foster and her cousin, Mrs. DIR.
Bacon, of this city. In the meantime
the galleries were rapidly being occu-
pied by the favored holders of tickets,
who proceeded to make themselves as
comfortable as possible. Many of the
ladies had thoughtfully provided them
selves with opera glasses, an aid to
vision that the gloomy atmosphere
rendered particularly desirable. 1t was
a representative American gathering i'm
the galleries, and the admirer of his
country found fresh cause for con-
graduation as he glanced over the
brave array of handsome and intelligent
men and women and felt that with such
constituency encouraging, and if
necessary rebuking them. congress
could not disregard long.

provided at President Cleveland's right,
the audience again rising to their feet.

Surely there never was such another
public way as Pennsylvania avenue

pomp and circumstance of great popu-
lar demonstration such as the inaugural
procession. In ordinary days. when
free from ornamentation, the eye takes
in its majestic stretch from the fair
white capitol, crowning the hill, west

proportions of the treasury building
cuts off the view, it is noble sight.

days past, and the result up to
yesterday was not pleasant to
look upon. Gen. Reynolds, in
bronze, appeared to be making the
greatest effort of his life to extricate him
self from the massive timbers that
bound his feet and forced him to help
bear up the stand which was to carry
sitting hundreds of spectators. The al

ment, just below the capitol, seemed to
have real cause for their marble tears
in the unsightly scaffolds that encom-
passed them. But over night Alladin

Mr.. Cleveland and Col. Lamont
Thanked for Courtesies to the

GENERAL OFFICE OF THE Asso-
GATED PRESS. New York, March 4.
The retirement of Mr.. Cleveland from
the presidency, affords fitting oppor-
tunity for the Associated Press to
make some recognition of the uni
form courtesy with which it's representa-
tives have been received at the White
house, aud the intelligent interest that
has been exhibited in placing at It's SER
vice promptly, and without the annoy
ance that too often accompany official
acts, everything that might properly be
given to the public. While the AS
soeiated Press has always been on pleas
ant terms with the occupants of the
White house, the fact that the press was
a servant of the people. and the proper
medium through which to reach them,
was never SO clearly understood before
the administration of President Cleye-
land. The experience of Col. Lamont
as a journalist was undoubtedly useful
in establishing such sensible and prac-
tical relations with the Associated Press
at the very beginning of that admins
tration.

Mr.. Cleveland Waves Farewell to

When the president was fairly seated
he glanced up at the two ladies and
raised his hat. They both returned the
salute, smiling and waving their hands.
Mrs. Cleveland watched the carriages
drive away and waved an adieu to the
occupants of each.- She also returned
with smile the salutatiOn of several
correspondents who raised their hats to
her as she turned away. In the mean
time two carriages containing the
presidential party had taken their posi-
tions in line. The Seventieth Indiana
regiment formed into two sections of
two companies each, one preceding
and the other following the two car
riages. The word was then given, and
the party moved to the avenue, and
Joined the first division in the place as

AS the hour drew near when the es-

the early morning was verified. and
the rain came down in driving shower.
The capitol seemed to float in sea of
mist. Horses bearing aides dashed to
and fro, enveloped in the steam from
their bodies. Troops hurried to their
posts with moisture streaming from
their uniforms and accOutrements. The
police began to force the spectators

1t was an instance of the presidents
power to rise above surroundings and
become wholly Indifferent to them. His
manner was as forceful as if he were in
the senate chamber, perfectly at ease.
His gestures were emphatic and peril
nent, and all the graces of oratory of
which he is master were brought into
play effectively. He became heated
after short time, and removed
his overcoat. Observing at this
time that Mr.. Canaday still
had his head exposed to the weather he
requested him to don his hat, and for
the rest of the address the senate's
sergeant-at-arms wore his head cover

begun speaking, his family, consisting
of Mrs. Harrison, Mr.. and Mrs. Russell

places within the presidential enclosure.
Vice President Morton and Mrs. Morton
were also present during part of the
ceremony, but the latter tainted in the
throng and was removed to the vice
presidents room in the senate, where
she was quickly revived and taken
home.
