In order to keep the canopy suspended

was put IN place by Robert Merrill, who

The electric effects We're designed and
managed by Il. J. McAllister, of the Elec-
trio Motor and Equipment Company. of
Newark, n. j., who also was in charge of
the illumination for the Inaugural Ball
eight years ago.
The brilliant sunbeam radiance of last
night was obtained by the use of IL. 706 in
candescent lights, with an aggregate
amount of candle power. 1880. The
amount of current was 2,5lf ampers at
10 volts. The Idea throughout the whole
illumination was not to make any one
point the center of attraction, but TO
give uniform beauty to the whole. With
the exception of the tri-colored shields,
only white lights We're used, these being
distributed between opalescent and etched
globes and ground glass bulbs, the latter
serving to give frost-like effect. The 152
golden columns were garlanded and
wound with 10000 electric lights in stream
crs ana clusters, while seventy-siX addi-
tional columns placed above the second
grand balcony supported immense opal
escent globes, Illuminated by incandescent
lights of high power Festoons of cleo
tric chains gave a fairy-lille beauty to the
archwavs and ON every pillar of the first
gallery blazed n viewpoint star measur-
ing two feet in diameter. Twelve miles of
electric cable, studded with small lights,
We're required in addition to the seemingly
countless globes, bulbs. stars and colored
shields
An interesting feature connected with
the floral decorations was the amount of
Southern smilaX used in beautifying the
balconies. side rooms and walls. 1t was
brought from the swamps of Alabama
and if made into rope would stretch
distance of over twentysiX miles. Was-
on-loads of eXotics from the tropics, bios
SONS and palms from the Philippines, rare
specimens from the famous cOnSerNator-
les of Europe as well tons of magnifi-
cent flowers from city green houses were
used to make this feature of the decora
lions of last nights inaugural Ball the
most beautiful and artistic that Washing
ton has ever known.

HOTEL CRUSH ABOUT over
Managers and Clerks Preparing 10
Speed Departing Guests.
The LObbies damned With People
Who Insisted Upon Holding I'm
promptu Receptions Visiting

The Inauguration festivities are history,
so far as they have to do with the hotel
arrangements. The rush of the past three
or four days came to a close yesterday.
Now the hotel managers are preparing for
the reaction, and incidentally getting in
readiness to accommodate their regular
patrons. The tired look and the detected
appearance of the clerks is giving way to
one OF cheerfulness. and they are goins
about their work with a will. 1t has come
and gone. There will not be another In
auguration for four years and the clerks
are happy. There may be other gather
ings but none of Them will compare with
the crowds that have filed the hotel lob
bies and corridors during the two days
preceding the Inauguration. 1t is not TO
be understood by this that the crowd has
in any way thinned out. 1t is just as
large as it was two or three days ago, but
the clerks know that by tonight or at the
latest by tomorrow morning the majority
of the guests will have departed for their
homes. Not only this, but 70 per cent of
the visitors to the city, who are not guests
at the hotels, but who made life a burden
for the clerks by their ceaseless questions,
will also have departed. There will be
nothing to do but speed the parting guest
a fond farewell and welcome the new
conner with a smile and hearty greeting.
In the hotel corridors last night was
enacted the scenes Of the past few days.
The musical organizations RECALLED the
guests with select compositions during
the meal hours, the State Executives
held open house during the hours they
We're in the hotel, and were called upon
by residents of their respective States, or
delegations from the various militia COM

ever present hotel frequenter who sat ia

Elimination was similar to that of the
newspaper room at the Congressional Lii
brary. A tent-IiRe impression was created
by the ceiling and walls of soft bunting,
the former whit and the latter wildly
beautiful red. The long, but rather low
room was as green as Southern forest,
with palms and gracefully trailing vines
and the table was gorgeous, not only
with flowers but with set effects in
tropical fruits. both native and foreign
For the first time in the history of Inau-
gural Balls the retiring rooms for the la
dies We're provided with comfortable seats
and nearby was hospital with every
convenience in case OF sudden need.
The PRESIDENT room was on the second
floor. ii was hung with white with gold
shield and sheaf Of flags over each arched
door. The quantity fashioned mantel was
banked with a magnificent showing of
cut flowers. The Honolulu baskets were
filed with roses, lilies, large mauye cat

On the opposite wall was draped the
Presidents flag, hand embroidered in silk
on ground Of navy blue.

Mrs. Mckinley was as fragrant as a sum-
mer garden with cut flowers, and that her
own taste had been considered was cvi-
denced by the lilac, purple. and white

point. In the room also was pretty

The Vice Presidents room was as yell
low as gold with hangings that covered
the walls and draped the high arched win

standards Of flags held in place by
shields and set on the table and mantels
were flowers of richly contrasting hues.
In the diplomatic room the curtains
We're of yellow and on the walls were
American shields from which radiated
the flags of all the nations represented at
Washington.
The room arranged for General Miles
was patriotic with flags, pcnnOas, and col
ored electric shields
Some idea OF tke quantity Of material
needed to cover the galleries, walls and
ceiling of the grand court. and to deco
rate the side rooms as they We're last
night, can be gained from the estimate
given by the contractor, Mr. c. H. Roster
Of New York. If the gold buntinGN~ lone
We're stretched ont, IL would carpet a
pathway three feet wide from this city
to Baltimore and nearly half way back.
All the wholesale houses in the country
together could not have furnished suffi-
cient material for the desired shade, and
for that reason II was made to order in
Fall River, Mass. Before applying for the
contract Mr. Roster arranged with the

BALL ROOM DECORATIONS
The Pension Building a Glorious
Blaze of Color and Light.
Tons of Flowers and Many Miles of
Bunting and Electric Cables Used
to Achieve the Briflian Result
A Symphony in Etruscan Gold.

The first impression gained upon enter
ing the Pension Building last night was
that some Midas had touched the great
court and turned it to living gold. The
succession of pillars that support the
arched galleries on the north and south
sides were gilded until they shone like
newly minted coin. The galleries them
selves, together with every inch Of wall
back Of them. were hung in two tones Of
gold-hued buhting. and the ceiling and
upper tier were hidden by paneled can
opy formed of a slightly deeper tint of
nugget-yellow that gave an Etruscan-lille
beauty to the whole.
This golden haze not only formed an
ideal background for the floral decora-
tons, but lent itself tremendously to the
Kaleidoscope coloring Of the toilets worn
by the promenaders in the galleries and
the dancers on the floor below.
In one respect. the National colors are
military without being patriotic, in that
they clash aggressively with every hue
but their own. From Washington to Nc
kinley, however, mistaken sense Of
loyalty to the Red. White and Blue
caused the managers Of successive inau-
gural functions to swathe walls, windows
and everything in the way OF a column
with bunting, flags, shields and pennons
that meant artistic warfare with every
gown in view. Four Gears ago wise com
mittee, who were entitled to, and prob
ably received, the unofficial thanks Of cv-
cry woman who attended the first hnu-
gural BAN in honor of President McKin-
ley, decided TO drape the Pension Build
ing in white and yellow. The innovation
was adopted and improved upon for last
nights function and pure gold was the
result Apart from it's charm, artisticaliy
considered, it also offered a golden OPP

COMMANDMENT
MERRY HOME AGAIN
Popular Naval Officer Returns
From Guam Ga the
Sierra.

Captain j. F. Merry, commandant at
the local naval station, returned yes
terday from Guam on the Sierra, after
an absence of nearly eight months. He
left here last November with a survey
ing party under orders to proceed to
the island of Guam and make surveys
and estimates for the harbor, town,
barracks, residence for governor and
for the military defenses of the island.
From the estimates made by Cap
tain Merry the entire work will cost
the government about $4,000, 600. The
harbor is well protected from every
side but the west, and the captain says
that the place can be fortified with a
very few guns. Captain Merry has
been in San Francisco over two months
getting his report in shape for presen-
tation to the government. He found
the climate of Guam to be very similar
to that of Honolulu, and sugar cane
and copra the chief products raised by
the natives An entirely new site for
the town was selected by Captain
Merry. Captain Merry will relieve
Captain Pond at the naval station.
