During the day Mr. Mckinley and
President Cleveland exchanged calls OF
courtesy.
There was, OF course n large number
OF callers at the Ebbltt House, but com
parntively few OF them saw the Presl
dcut-elect. who saved himself as far as
possible for the task before him to-
morrow. In the evening he dlned with
Mr.. John Hay, who viii be the new ann
bassadOr TO the court OF st, James, and
then retired.
Vice PresideRt-eisct Hobart spent
most OF this day meeting his future SEN
atorlal associates and learning the rules
and customs of the senate under the
tutelagc OF Vice President Stevenson.
The members OF the outgoing cabinet
We're busled with the clearing up or
their desks. Their designations are at
Mr.. McKinley's service. and most Of
them have explained their duties 10
their successors, who are all here for
the inauguration, save Ex-Governor
Long, OF Massachusetts At the capitol
Congress worked steadily away on Ap.
preparation bills. gradually reducing the
Items OF disagreement between the two
houses.
On the streets there were the usual
crowds and decorations and scenes incl
dent 10 The immediate approach Of n
great gala event The number OF peo-
pie arriving however, was smaller than
first estimates OF the railroads. One
very noticeable feature OF the incoming
OF organizations was the small amount
OF parade and music with which they
sigpaliZed their entry Into town. There
was a Very general remark on tho fact
that few OF them paraded up the ave-
nue with bands playing. A noticeable
exception was the Blaine club, Of Gin
cinnnti. which made fine appearance
In neat brown uniforms and high white
hats, as they marched in good style up
the broad avenue about 400 strong. pre-
ceded by 4 vigorous band.
When II was announced yesterday
that Mr.. Cleveland was again suffering
from an attack OF rheumatic gout, con-
siderable apprehension was felt that he
would not be able TO take part In the
inaugural ceremonies. but the report
from the White House this morning was
very reassurinE. and without there Is
a recurrence OF his attack of Wednes-
day night Mr. Cleveland will be fully
able to discharge the duties assigned to
him for tomorrow.
The pain in his right foot has some
what subsIded and as consequence he
passed n fairly comfortable night and
this morning he felt in good condition.
With the exception OF half an hour
spent in his call upon Major Mckinley
al the Ebbitt, he occupied the entire,
morning In the examination OF bills,
which from time TO time are sent to him
from the capitol. and 1t Is probabl that
a good part OF the night will be spent
In tho same way.
