WASHINGTON, March Especial. j
The crowds of four and eight years ago
found Washington uncomfortably filed.
The masses now find it filed almost to
suffocation. No Inauguration in the his
tory of the country has ever attracted the
members of party in such numbers. Not
alone are the hotels filed, but the addi-
tional sidetracks at the Baltimore & Ohio
and Baltimore & Potomac depots are al
ready filed with the special trains which
have brought thousands from every sec
ton OF the country.
The Crescent club of New Orleans, al
most four hundred strong, was among
those who arrived early today, and the re-
ception committee had arranged very
pretty welcome for them The Young
Mems Democratic club of West Virginia
brought almost three hundred men into
the city, and following rapidly in their
z wake came the w. L. Wilson Tariff Stu
dents from the same state. Charleston,
S. c., sent the Vanderbilt Benevolent as
sociation and Richmond comes today 300
strong. Governor Mckinley and staff
were given a splendid welcome on arrival
here.
Tammany's 3,4OO have also arrived.
They have four bands to furnish the
music, which costs 81, 500. The delegation
had an escort to Washington from the
Jackson Democratic association Of Wash
ington. The headquarters are at the
Arlington hotel, though the delegation is
scattered all over the city. The banners
viii be stored IN the Shoemaker building
on Pennsylvania avenue. The delegation
wear black suits and hats and will march
in four divisions, each headed by ba nd
\ OF music.
The crowds are densest at the Arli ng-
ton and the Ebbitt, where the Cleveland
and Stevenson parties are staying. Mr..
Cleveland mas been receiving a constant
stream of visitors ever since his arrival.
The programme for tomorrow is now
well mapped out. Shortly before noon
Nice-President-elect Stevenson will
reach the Capitol and the oath OF Office
viii be administered to him by Vice
President Morton. Then comes the cere-
mony of swearing in the new senators.
This is always tame affair, but some in
terest will be taken in it this year by
reason of the many changes and the posi-
bility of protest against the admission
of the Kansas senator-elect. When this
has been attended to the upper house viii
march to the north end of the Capitol
where the Inauguration stand is located
and viii witness the ceremonies attend
ing the formal Inauguration of Mr..
Cleveland.
Immediately after the address has been
delivered the procession viii begin to
move from the Capitol TO the White
House, passing to Washington circle at
Twenty-third street and thence back on
K street to Mount Vernon Square at
Ninth street. Tonight and tomorrow
night the Capitol and the treasury build
ings viii be brilliantly Illuminated.
