WASHINGTON, March 3.-Presideat-elect
Cleveland had a good nights rest and
awoke refreshed. After breakfast he re-
ceived the committee on inaugural ar
rangements who laid their plan before
him and asked for suggestions as to any
change he might wish made in them. He
expressed himself as entirely pleased with
the arrangements, and the committee
Withdrew.
With Private Secretary Thurber he then
took a carriage to the White House. A
crowd of 200 had gathered at the entrance
as the carriage drew up to the portico and
pressed close as he alighted, but the
White House servants managed to keep a
way open for him and he entered and pro-
! ceeded to the blue room where President
| Harrison received him. After greetings
were exchanged, occupying less than ten
minutes, MIR. Cleveland made his adieux
and drove to the hotel where it was ar
ranged that Harrison should return his
call later.
At noon, President Harrison, accord
ing to arrangement, appeared at the
Arlington hotel, wentimmediately to Mr..
| Cleveland S apartments, accompanied by
Private Secretary Halford and Lieutenant
! dIA SI VI OuO udNys very lew poOp1S
gathered at the entrance as the hour Tor
the visit was not generally known. The
! call lasted fifteen minutes President
Harrison was then escorted to the car
rage by Private Secretary Thurber.
There was no attempt at demonstration
and the president was driven quietly back
to the White House.
Tammany hall is the most conspicuous
and numerous organization on the
NJ IN icif mr. Len
the object of much attention. Governor
Peck OF Wisconsin received much atten-
ton. General Bragg of Wisconsin is
kept busy receiving friends. Governor
Foster OF Louisiana with an escort arrived
this morning.
Richard j. Olney, the new attorney
general, accompanied by number Of
friends, also arrived this forenoon. Mr..
Olney called at the Arlington during this
Mr.. Cleveland.
The crowds at the capital gave some
token OF crush tomorrow. At times it is
almost impossible to pass from one end of
the building to the other. At the front
door of the chamber of representatives the
| throngs are thlckest and cards went in
side in streams. In the corridors q
kaleidoscope change is going on con-
stantly and forms picture that is pleas
ant to look upon.
Members and clerks at this stage OF the
proceedings are in more of a hurry than
ever before. There is no tagging in either
chamber. Each house had ell it could do
to keep pace with the hands of the clock,
which are moving all too rapidly towards
the hour when by constitutional limita
ton Congress shall expire.
One slight change in the programme for
tomorrow regarding the place where Mr..
Cleveland shall greet the procession and
go on the reviewing stage was adopted by
the inauguration committee, at the sug-
gestion of Mr.. Cleveland. It is under
stood he secured this change to crafty
Mrs. Cleveland, whose position would
not allow her to see her husband on his
triumphant return from the capitol if he
left the line at the place selected by the
inaugural committee.
Tomorrow morning President Harrison
will go to the capitol driving with Presi-
dent elect Cleveland. Mr.. Cleveland will
go to the room of the vice president and
remain until the hour for the inaugu-
ration ceremonies to begin, while Presi-
dent Harrison and the members of his
cabinet will spend the last half hour of
his term in the presidents room, dispos-
ing OF the closing business of congress.
When he returns to the White House it
will be as a private citizen and for the
purpose of removing the last of his
effects prior to his departure for Indian
apolis.

and daughters. For an hour or more

from friends and partisans. 1t was essenti-
allya democratic gathering. The Illinois
club OF Bloomington called in body and
