had no effect Of determent upon the busy
prepare tions that are in progress for the
inaugura ton of President Mckinley the
4th Of next March. Chairman John Joy
Edison Of the general inaugural committee
was in conference today with a number of
the chairmen of subcommittees discussing
plans and details Of the coming celebra-
ton. The rooms Of the inaugural commit
tee are now constantly thronged with WIS.,
itors while the mails are becoming heavier
and heavier each day.
Chairman Edison is of the opinion that by
February 1 a good general idea of the
crowd which Is to attend the festivities
may be had. He bases his opinion on the
fact that the applications for accommoda-
tions from military and civic organiza tons
will probably all be in by that time, and
by comparing the number OF these with
those of four years ago close calculations
as to the general attendance may be made
