WASHINGTON, Feb. l8. Preparations
Tor the Inauguration of Mr., Cleveland
are under full headway. Directly op.
posite the white house long lines OF
seats on Lafayette square are already
nearly completed The reviewing
stand for the incoming administration
is going mp in the usual place, against
the fence that incloses the white house
grounds. The sound of hammers is
heard early and late. 1t is borne in
through the windows of the white
house, where the hustle of packing and
the preparations for departure present
another busy btit widely different
scene.
In the executive Office boxes are be.
ing packed with the presidents books,
documents and papers In the private
part of the white house. the presidents
daughter is gathering together the falh-
lily belongings and making such prepa-
rations as will leave the w house IN
order for her successor.
1t is an unwritten law of etiquette
that the family of the outgoing presi-
dent should receive the family of the
incoming president at the white house
on Inauguration and Immediately after
the ceremonies at the capitol. Presi-
dent and Mrs. Cleveland made an excep-
tion and asked President and Mrs. Har-
rison to dine with them at the white
house on the evening preceding the day
of the inauguration.
After the ceremonies at the capitol
Mr.. Harrison will return to the white
house. where Mrs. Mckee will remain,
and, as the outgoing hostess, will assist
him in receiving President and Mrs.
Cleveland. The ex-president, accom-
panied by Mr.. and Mrs. Mckee and
their family. will then go direct from
the white house to the railway station,
and will leave Washington for Indian
npolis by an early afternoon train.
They win break the journey at Pitts
burg, where they will stop over night
and spend the Sunday with friends
On Monday morning they will start
for Indianapolis, where they will ar
rive that evening.
Mrs. Cleveland will not SIT beside her
husband on the reviewing stand in
fl ont of the white house to view the in
augural parade. Fearing that the
weather might be inclement, the presi-
dent has engaged rooms over a drug
store at the corner OF Fifteenth and
Pennsylvania avenue, from the large
windows OF which Mrs Cleveland and
, her guests will enjoy the procession
and witness the review OF the people
without being subjected to any incon-
.enience in case of bad weather The
weather has habit of being bad in
Washington during Inauguration times.
General Mcmahon and Colonel Cor
bin, who have supervision of the ar
rangcments of the parade, are daily re-
ceiving applications from military Or
| carnations all over the United Stairs
! for positions in the line.
More than a hundred civic organiZa-
tions, including Tammany, have thus
far reported ~ probable strength of
over 1900 men to form in line on
March 4. The governors of the follow
ing named states have informed the
committee that they will be in line, nc
conpanied by members of their re-
spectiye staffs, and in many instances
by independent. military companies.
Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts,
Maryland, North Carolina, Soulh Caro-
lima, Virginia, Ohio, Louisiana and
Wisconsin.
1t is almost certain that IL majority
of the governors of the remaining
states will be present, but as yet they
have not notified the COMMITTED Penn
| sylvania, as usual, will send the largest
representation OF any state.
Its full national guard Of $500 men
will be in line. New York will send
its crack organizations-the Seventh
and SiXty-ninth regiments and proba-
| bly, Company A, of the Thirteenth reg.
iment,, Brooklyn. The following in
dependent organizations have notified
the committee to reserve them posi-.
| tions in the line:
Georgia Hussars, Monumental City
| Guards and Baltimore Rifles, Palmetto
Guards, of Charleston, S. c.; Cleveland
| Troop and Alliance Guards. Ohio, ane
the Fort Worth Fencibles. Texas
There is every probability that the
inauguration of March 4. 1893, will sur
pass all its predecessors.
