comparatively slight public demonstra-
ton Major Mckinley Is at the Ebbitt
House and Mr.. Hobart at the Arlington.
Governors generals and men with ono
title or another, past or present, continue
TO arrive with each train; that it is no

Now York, Tanner Of Illinois, GrOut OF

umn in the rear of the Illinois national
guard. Other arrivals of note include SEN

Der of lhe regular and militia soldiers
and sailors who will be in line shows an
aggregate of 900 to II, 900. The escort
of President Eloct Mckinley when in ac'
cordance with custom he rides down the
avenue 20 the capitol to take the oath OF
Office, will number about 5000 The civic
organizations vary so greatly in strength
that it has becn found absolutely impossi-
Bile TO make an exact statement of the
number of men they will have in line, but
It is estimated at about 5000.
Crack marching bodies ambitious to dis
play their tactical skill in the parade he
fore the largest audience they ever have
aced will find pigeon wings and Other
fancy maneuvcrs barred, as General Por
ter has directed in official orders that com
manders be careful to keep their organiya
