WASHINGTON, March As early as
o'clock prominent guests at the Ar
lington, and others who took part in the
days ceremonies, began to put in an
appearance. The members of the
Cleveland party rose unusually early
and began preparations for the days
hard work. Their friends, consider
ately, did not attempt to interfere with
their plans by sending up their cards,
and except the members of the senate
committee ana the inaugural committee
there were few callers. The crowd
which gathered in front of the hotel
was not large, but was exceedingly per-
siStent in its efforts to get glimpse of
the next president, and so they
hung about the entrance, block
ing the sidewalk and half fill
ing the street. \ squad of police ar
rived some time before the expected de-
parture of Mr. Cleveland, and managed
with some effort to keep clear the car
riageWay and a path from the door to the
street.
Tie committee Of the senate, consist
ing of Messrs. Teller, Ransom and Me-
Pherson, having in charge the senate
arrangements for the inauguration,
arrived early at the hotel, and were
almost Immediately shown to Mr.. Cleye-
lands apartments.
Vice President-elect Stevenson, as he
arose at an early hour this morning and
gazed out at the driving snow, declined
to join in some jocular remarks made
against Uncle Jerry Rusk and his
weather bureau, remarking that it twas

which was abruptly ended by the ar
rival of Senator Mcpherson. Of the sem

made their way 10 the carriage in wait
ing, and before any of the guests at the
hotel were aware of the fact the dis
tinguished gentleman was on his way
to the Arlington hotel. The rest of the
vice presidential party remained i'll the
hotel until after IL o'clock, when they
entered carriages in waiting and pro-
ceeded 10 the capitol. Vice President

past 10 o'clock. at which hour it had

waiting in their carriage few minutes,
they alighted and were escorted to the
Cleveland parlorS. The crowd in the
street constantly increased in size until
it almost completely blocked the side
walks for a square or more.
About IL O'clock fine four-in-hand
turnout came brisklY around the corner
and drew up in front of the hotel. As
every one knew, it was the one which
had been provided to convey the presi-
dent and president-eleet to the capitol.
Then ensued a touching scene. The
president-elect had bowed to the party
of official and personal friends gathered
about him and was about TO pass
through the doorway. when Mrs. Cleve-

on his way to take the oath of Office.
Those who saw this leave-taking en-
deavored to look unconscious of what
was going on, but the act of Mrs. Cleve-
land was done so simply and with such
wOmanly grace that it seemed TO be the
most natural occurrence in the world,
and endeared the wife of the president
elect to all those in the apartment.
After a quarter an hours delay to
await some moderation of the weather,
which seemed to be rapidly veer-
ing around towards its traditional
favoritism to Mr.. Cleveland, as the
hour of his Inauguration drew
near, the president elect. escorted
by Senators Teller and Ransom,
appeared, and, entering the carriage,
was rapidly driven to the White house.
Lieut.. John A. Carson, of the Fifth cav
airy, L. S. A, and Lieut.. Patterson, of
the First artillery, acted as a special
escort to the carriage of the president
elect. The carriage which had been
provided for the use of the vice presi-
dent had driven up while the other was
waiting, took its place at the door. 1t
was drawn by four white horses and
made very fine appearance. On the
box was Hawkins, who was Mr.. Cleve-
lands coachman during his four-years
term in the White house. Mr. Steven
son was escorted by Senator Mcpherson
and was accompanied by his son Louis,
who is to be his private secretary. Mr..
