military costumes ard most of them wear

the scene.
The diplomatic corps was followed by
the supreme court. It's presence at the
door was announced at 11:20. The Senate
stood up to receive it.
The presidential party, with their mill
tary escort, came i'll sight of the eastern
entrance of the capitol a few minutes
after II o'clock. A large crowd had as
sembled at the east front, and from the
moment Mr.. Cleveland descended from the
carriage he was received with luSty cheers,
and when he entered the Senate wing

ovation.

of the committee emerged from the room
with the President in charge. The indi-
vidual who had stopped the officer of the
Senate then, together with others, again
crowded forward. Everyone but this man
responded to the cry of the guard to get
back as MI. Cleveland reached a point
