peared in the published lists They Were
two of the snrewdest detectives in the
country, who, almost unknown. even to
the members of the party, accompanied the
President-elect and his family to Washing
ton and insured safety to the coming
Executive.
Not O movement was made that escaped
their vfgiIant watch, and while no danger
was apprehended from any source, the
precaution was taken TO avoid against
any posi- BILE contingency which might
arise OF course nothing transpired TO
need the service OF the men, bot they were
there and ready in case they should be
required to act. These officers, it is safe
to say, win not allow themselves 70 get
far away from Mr.. Mckinley until after
he has taken possession of the White
House.
The precautions which the friends of the
incoming President have taken are not at
his request or suggestion, as he has never
been known to express any fears. it IS
nothing more than has been done upon
former inaugural occasions Particularly
was this the case when President Cleve-
land wJs inaugurated, a corps OF able de-
tectiyes being on the alert constantly, and
almost acting as bodyguard to him,
President-elect Mckinley, while unwilling
to accept the service Of bodygBard,
consented to the distant escort or the TWO
detectives Long before the Mckinley
special train arrived at the Sixth street
depot yesterday morning corps OF In
spectGr Hollinberger's detectives was on
hand at the station, in charge or Detective
BOYD, OF the Central office. Among the
CORPS were some of the most skilled P1nker-
ton men.
There are all told nearly 100 out-of town
Detectives now in Washington from all
Of the larger cities OF the country, who
viii augment the local force, and not
oslIy aid in protecting the President, but
assist in picking up crooks. who are here
IN dloves TO ply their profession during
the week These men are scattered about
principally over the central portion OF the
city, under tire direction OF Major Moore
and Inspector HollinberGeT, and stationed
ia hotel Hobbies and about the depots-
About the Ebbitt House. where the Nc
KinIey party is stopping, could he found
at any hour OF the day or night ten or
dozen detectives but their identity is not
generally known. They might be taken
for guests, spectators, office seekers, or
ANYTHING else, but last or all their real
vocation.
In addition 10 these, the local p4iCe
force has been increased by nearly 800
snecial policemen who Will be on duty
during the remainder Of the week. The
entire extra force was sworn In yesterday
morning and entered upon duty at o clock
from the various stations The men were
pretty wen proportioned among the nine
Urecincis, the major portion going 70 the
down town sections, where their services
VIII be most needed. Before going out
upon the street the new men were carefully
instructed by the lieutenants as to what
they were 10 do and what not TO do, and
certain portions OF the police manual were
read and explained. Major HooTe's special
instructions from headquarters were also
dwelt upon, so as TO give the men a clear
idea of what their functions are TO be.
The entire extra force will wear citizens
clothes, carr the regulation baton and
badge as the symbol OF their authority,
and be vested with the same authority TO
make arrests as the members OF the regu-~
lar force Yesterday and last night the
new men for the most part accompanied
the older ones upon their beats in order
to get broken in and accustomed to the
work They will continue to do the same
today, but on the 4th the majority OF the
specials win be placed on duty in the out
living precincts, while the regular patrol
men will be detailed along Pennsylvania
avenue and the line of the parade At
Washington Circle there will be large
force of mounted police in order co prevent
blockade.
President McKinleys carriage, in which
be will ride to the Capitol to be sworn in,
wiz be guarded on either side by two
mounted officers, who viii be detailed
for the purpose. The men who win have
this honor has not yet been decided upon.
and will not be known until tomorrow
morning. The entire length of the Avenue
viii be pickcted by the best men on the
force, while large detail Of officers will
be stationed about the Capitol grounds
The police arrangements are in every way
ucrfect and no trouble is anticipated in
managing the crowds. The only antici-
uated interference with the parade is the
stand which has been erected in front of
the new postoffice building, which, it is
feared, projects too far into the street,
and may cause some little inconvenience to
the marchers.
The local and out OF town detective
forces have thus far been very successful
i'm picking up a number of crooks and
have placed them where they can do no
harm until after the crowds have gone.
Yesterday morning Detectives Boyd and
HeIan of Inspector Hoiiinberger's staff,
and Grim and McDermott OF Cincinnati,
