18th street, so that he might reach the
reviewing stand in time to
see the head of the procession
pass. Mr.. Cleveland's plan, however.
is that he shall pass the reviewing stand
in his carriage and leave the line at
Executive avenue, half block further
on and marking the western boundary
10 the White House grounds, and enter
them az the central western entrance.
IL is understood that Mr.. Cleveland has
secured this change TO gratify Mrs.
Cleveland. whose position In building
on Fifteenth street, facing the northern
part Of Pennsylvania avenue, would not
allow her 10 see her husband in his tri-
umphaut march TO the Capitol II he left
the line at the place selected by the In
augural Committee.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland remained in
their apartments until about O'Clock,
when they took drive about town.
There were many callers during the ear
ly afternoon on the President-elect and
Mrs. Cleveland. Among them were
Senator Murphy, Governor Flower,
Lieutenant Governor Sheehan, Richard
Croker, Bourke w. Cochran, Mr.. and
Mrs. Harrity.
Tomorrow morning President Harri-
sou will 20 to the Capitol driving with
PresideDt-elect Cleveland. Mr.. Cleve-
land will 90 to the room of the Vice
President and remain until the hour for
the inauguration ceremonies to begin,
while President Harrison, accompanied
by the members Of his cabinet, will
spend the last half hour OF his term In
the Presidents room disposing OF the
closing business Of Congress.
When he returns to the White House
IL will be as a private citizen, and for
the purpose of removing the last OF his
personal effects prior TO his departure
for Indianapolis.
The President-elect spent the after
noon In his apartments where he and
Mrs. Cleveland received number OF
visitors, mostly persOnal friends. This
evening they dined with President Har-
rison al the White House. The hour
set for the dinner was half past seven
o'clock, but Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland
were delayed in their departure and did
not leave the Arlington until i've min
utes after that hour.
Owing to the great number OF people
that blocked the more direct route to
the White House, the carriage was
driven there by a roundabout way.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland we're received
oy the President and Mrs. Mckee, and
those four, with Mr.. Robert Mckee,
were the only persons present at the
dinner which was held in the private
dining room.
Mr.. and Mrs Cleveland returned TO
their hotel from the dinner given in
their honor by President Harrison about
10 o'clock and repaired at once TO their
apartments. They were somewhat
fatigued from the rush and excitement
of the day and were thereby compelled
10 DENY themselves for the remainder OF
the evening TO all callers, aud retired
soon after IL o'clock. The other MEM
bers OF their party also retired early.
Everybody in Washington tonight Is
looking with anxious eyes towards the
heavy conds that hang over the city
and which threaten bad day for the
ceremonies tomorrow. IL began to
sprinkle about eight o'clock this
evening and the rainfall still continues,
though the fall thus tar is very light.
The predictions made by the Signal Of
fee for tomorrow are anything but
encouraging for fair day and
give little hope that the weather
will be good, at least during the earlier
portion OF the ceremonies, for they in-
dicate rain or snow in the morning,
with the cheering modification, how
ever, that it will probably clear during
the day.
