There was great deal OF danger oil
assassination at the time OF Lincoln's
Inauguration. He had troop of mill
tary about his carriage, and there were
armed men in the procession in front
and behind him, There were many
wagons in the line OF march, and there
was a great car drawn by six white
horses, upon each of which was a
blanket labeled Union" On this car
there was pyramid OF seats, and upon
the seats sat a number OF little girls
dressed in white, holding the banners
and bearing the coats-ot.arms OF each
state and territory. Mr.. Lincoln read
his inaugural address from the east
portico Of the Capitol. His voice was
clear and strong. His manuscript was
printed copy, plentitully interlined.
The address was well received by the
crowd, aud there was no public disturb

Nice-President Johnson was sworn in
in his room at the hotel. Only about
half dozen men were present. Chiel

with his wife and mother ON the platform
behind him. Immediately after taking
the oath he turned and kissed his wife
and mother. The crowd went wild over
the act, and it was noted in the news
papers as one OF the touching events OF
the occasion.

honor, and the Ebbitt house, where he
is to stay for the night OF March ard, has
had the carpenters, painters, plumbers
and upholsterers at work for two weeks
getting ready for him. They have had
a new bath room, with walls OF the
purest white marble, built for him. The
carpets upon which he is to walk have
never been used before, and the woven
wire mattress upon which his stately
limbs will lie will give its first creak for
him. Even the mirrors before which he
will dress for the inaugural ceremony
will be new. By their reflection he will
put on his new suit OF black broadcloth
woven by New England factory for
this very day, and will then go down
and eat his breakfast in new private
dining room, before he orders the new
carriage which is to be sent here from
the Ohio factory, to call upon the old
President. and then 20 out in state to
the Capitol to become brand-new
President himself.
HOW TO SEE THE INAUGURATION.
This change from the old President to
the new is one OF the most interesting
sights in the world. A great govern
ment is transformed in the twinkling OF
an eye, and every four years this won.
deriul change takes place. 1t will be
great sight this year, and it is expected
that there will be at least hundred
thousand strangers here 10 see it. Wash

expects that at least million dollars
will be spent by them here on March 4th.

arrangements for the comfort OF their
guests. There are twenty one commit
tees at work, and things are to be done
this year on a broader and grander scale
than ever before. Old Washingtonians
tell me that they are determined no one
shall be cheated il it can be possibly
helped. They have established what is
known as the department Of public
comfort, and by writing here any one
can get full information about board or
lodging, and he can even engage them
in advance of his coming. There are in
the neighborhood OF 10000 lodging
places already registered. Every one OF
these has been inspected by the agents
OF this department, and only those which
are respectable have been put upon the
list,
WHAT IT ALL COSTS.
The accommodations are OF all kinds.
You can get a place to stay over night
Tor so cents, but at this rate you Will
have TO sleep on a cot with from six to
ten other persons in the same room.
Or you can pay as high as IS day, IN
which case you may have good double
bed, with tiled bath room attached.
There are more than forty rooms OF this
kind which have been given by people
who want to make little money out OF
the inauguration, and who in some cases
own their own houses. These prices
are for rooms without board. Inc
boarding houses, oil which there are 200
in Washington, will charge from 81 to
So a day Tor board aud lodging, and you
will have to pay about the same in the
private houses which will take boardeIs

of the department OF public comfort,
telling what kind vi accommodations

COLONIAL SUGAR INDUSTRY
Queensland Planters Cannot Get Along
Without Black Labor.
New South Wales Wants a Royal Commission
to Investigate The Possibility Of Con-
tInuins Sugar Raising.

The sugar industry in the Aus
tralian Colonies seems to be in
very bad way, judging from re-
cent colonial papers. A deputa.
ton of Queensland planters re-
Gently called on the Premier and
represented to him that unless the
government protected them against
bounty grown sugar they must 60
out of business. After long
conference the Premier told the
planters that the government
agreed with them and would in.
troduce bill affording the plant
ers the desired protection. The
Premier also expressed the opln-
ion that it was impossible to carry
on the sugar industry in trop-
ical parts of that colony
without black labor. The
annual production of suger in
Queensland is given at 100000
tons, and it remains stationary at
those figures.
In New South Wales a great
debate is going on in the Parlia-
ment over request for a royal
commission from the sugar men
which is being opposed by Pre-
mier Reid and his cabinet. The
commission is asked to report on
and determine the following:
(a) AS to the possibilities of con.
tinuing the sugar industry 10 the
north coast districts, and, if SO,
under what conditions; (b) as to
the most satisfactory arrange.
ments to be made for mutual adj
vantage between cane planters
and the manufacturers, with the
view to continuing the industry;
(c) as to the best methods of Gull
tivating land for sugar crops, and
the selection Of suitable varieties
of cane for producing the best md
most reliable crops; (d) as to the
terms upon which the csne-grow-
ers might, with the assistance of
the Government, acquire
the Colonial Sugar Rein
ing Company's mills and
plant; (e) as to whether it would
be practicable or polite to intro
duce into these districts the system
in practise 10 Queensland under
the Sugar Works Guarantee Act;
~ as to the possibility, in the
event of the Colonial Sugar Re-
6ning Company removing their
mills and plant, of capitalists en-
barking in the erection of milling
machinery in these districts; (g)
as to the most profitable purpose
to which lands in use for cane
growing may be put in the event
of the sugar industry being
abandoned, having in view a
liberal employment of European
labor and the securing of profita
BILE markets for the productions
raised; (h} and, generally, into
all matters appertaining to the
sugar industry, the relations of
planter and manufacturer, aud
landlord and tenant, and to report,
accompanied by recommendations,
fully thereon.
