of the 10th Virginia, from Richmond will
come. in addition to Company E, from

By Norfolk Steamers.
Capt Archibald Butt, depot quarter
master, United States army, has arranged
with the managers of the Norfolk and
Washington line of steamers to bring
party of several hundred coast artillerymen
from Fort Monroe to this city to take part
in the inaugural day ceremonies. The
steamer Newport News will make a spe-
cial trip to Fort Monroe for this service.
The Norfolk and Washington line has also
arranged to bring a large number of mar
ines and sailors from the ships at the Nor
folk navy yard. These troops will arrive
here on the morning of March and will
return the same evening.
1t is stated that the big steamer Penn
sylvania of the N. G. p. & N. railway will
bring a party of several hundred to this
city to witness the inauguration. AS yet
no berth has been secured for the steamer.
Those who come here on the steamer will
make their quarters aboard her during their
stay here.
For Fire Protection.
The arrangements for protecting the city.
and particularly the pension office, from
possible fire during the Inauguration period
were agreed upon today after conference
between Chief Engineer VIM. 7. Belt of the
fire department and Commissioner Macfar-
land, who has supervision over that depart
ment. The two officials have been con-
ferring on this matter for several weeks,
and a result Chief Belt has worked out
a plan which it is believed will entirely
safeguard the pension office and protect
the city during the Inauguration.
THE plan of protection" said Commits
sioner Macfarland has been made after
very careful consideration. in view of past
experience, and in view of the apprehen-
sions expressed by members of Congress
with reference to danger from fire in the
pension office. 1 believe the arrangements
made will work out very satisfactorily
The plan in brief provides for a detail
of thirty firemen, who will remain at the
pension office day and night during the
inaugural period. AS soon the deco
rating is begun, about the 18th of Febru
airy, part of the detail of firemen will
be sent to the pension office. Sleeping
quarters will be provided for the fremen
by the inaugural committee. The detail
will remain on guard at the pension build
ing until about the sth of March, if neces-
sary.
On Inauguration day no fireman will be
allowed off except for illness, and the men
who otherwise would be off will be sta
toned along the route of the parade. There
will be sixty firemen along the line of
march, at the street crossings and other
places. to keep a close watch for fires. Par
ticular attention will be paid to the frame
reviewing stands.
Scheme for Music.
The order of dancing at the inaugural
ball and the program for the promenade
concert have been announced by Chairman
Percy S. Foster of the committee on mu-
sic. Both are considered to be the best of
the sort ever arranged in this country. The
Marine Band will furnish the music for the
promenade and Haley's Band will play the
