The experiences of the hotel people OF
the city yesterday, as recounted
in the Register of yesterday morning
were repeated yesterday and last night.
Rooms could not be had; that was all
there was 70 Il, and it took a good deal
of influence to obtain even cot at
some of the houses, while at others even
this poor accommodation was denied ap-
plicants, for two reasons-there were no
more cots, and no available room in
which TO set them. Enquiry at the ho-
tells last night by Register men elected
the same story all along the line-there
was no more room for guests. In fact,
the houses had been out Of space for
forty eight hours at a stretch, and there
was little prospect OF relief before Sat
urday. One weary and dropping clerk,
told a reporter, as he explained for about
the five hundreth time, that he couldn
possibly accommodate any more people,
that he had just sent a delegation up on
the roof with leave to snooZe on the
states, but his statement was doubted,
as It was raining hard at the time.
A tour Of the registers at ten O'Clock
last night resulted in this collection OF
