prominent Democrat in the city. The ar
rival last night Of the President and his
party has taken everything in that direc-
ton. Those who have not the entree to
the 500 apartments Of the President at
the Arlington content themselves with

occupants Of the rooms. which are on the

a notable fact in connection with the
crowd here is the fact that until to-day
there have been few Virglnians In the
city. They are coming in with a rush
to-day, however. Ex-Governor Fitzhugh
Lee is the most distinguished arrival so
FAR and is likely to remain so. He and
his aids are quartered at the Shoreham.

tomorrow he will command the Third
division and Will have as his aides MANY

Mckinney, who. piqued because not ac-
corded privileges which were not pro-
vided for any other Governor, will not
attend.
