Wasuinaros, D.C., Sept. 2.—The mourn ers go about tho sweets, the Capitol is slirouded In serge, and all ways lead but to the rotunda, where Ile the remains of the late vreésident, ‘The beene thore today has been without paralicl, At dusk yesterday the rotunda and dome were Mluminated, and the light in the surrounding tholus showed for. miles around. ‘Tho effect within and without was weird, Under the great dome the casket Iny upon n black-draped bier, while rosebuds were strewn about the projecting ledge around the cofiin, The. guard of honor from the Army of the Cumberland stood watelt. The doors of the Capitol had been opened to the public Inte In the afternaon of Wednes- day, They have not heen closed since, and the line of people which began at once to stream through from the castern entrance to the western exit hag been broken only for afew hours, between 3 und 7 this morning, Even during that period, while the soldlers keptan alfbut solltary vigil, there wore a few who sought admission to look upon THE SAD AND DISTRESSING SIGIIT, Under the weird lights from the dome the faco presented a horrible appearance. Since the body was brought from Long Branch It ins changed much, ‘The gray color has ex- tended and deepened, and powder has been applied to the face to disguise, ns far as.pos- sible, the growing change in the body. ‘To those who Jooked upon the face it seems strange that it should bo longer exposed to view, and, Indeed, there hus been some show of feeling of indignation that the horrible ex- Ibition should longer continue, ‘Thousands of women who linve seen it have been shucked, and little children, have been Iifted to look at that which must cver leave upon their minds nimost distressing impression, It isa sight that haunts one afterwards—so changed, and the sunken and discolored features. During the night the tps have parted inan unpleas- antsmnile, AtS o’¢lock this morning mark pevple and other early risers passed through the rotunda, just Hghted by the gray Hht of dawn, From that thno the numbers In- ereased until, at 7 o'clock, & double column extended from the eastern porch of the Cap- {tol to First strevt. IT NEVER GREW LESS, ‘As those ahead moved slowly along, saw the sad:sight, and passed out on the western porch, now. vomers added to the Hne, ‘The starting polnt gradually beeame farther and farthor from the steps of the Cupilol. Spee celal tralns were ran from Baltinore aud other polnts In Maryland and Virginia, bringing hundreds of. persons, both white and biel, to the elty. Many colored people showed tho stains of road travel, nud hundreds had walked junto town on the mournful pilgelin- age. ‘The cars and stages, us well as private vehicles of every description, are driving toward Capitol 11, All of the ap proaches by foot are crowded na well, and the walks ave bordered by theinovitable peddlers, Portraits, goo and bad, of what the President was, and pletures of ils stricken but brave-hearted widow, are offered for sate nt overy hand, ‘The week's iMustrated papers are sold by newsboys as if they were extras, Memorial badges and medals ‘and fae-aimilo coples of tho Inst letter written by the President to hls aged mother are among the things which are sold readily tu the people golug to the Capitol or coming away. THY CLLY 18 FULL OF COLORED PEOPLE from Virginln, Many of the voorer class uro here, They throng tho Capitol grounds and lounge in tho shade of the building or of tho trees avout it. Many of them have brought lunches, determined to walt all the hours that may be necessary to‘enter the rotunda, ‘Tho day hus beon very warm, and tho sun has poured down without morcy on those who have stood in Hie waiting thelr turn to enter tho rotunda, By 2o'clock the double Mnv was over half a milo long. From the door of the rotunda two ropes oxtended across the porch sind formed 9 passageway begluning a himdred feet from the footof the steps, From this point tho ine continued Jn a serpentine course, zlgagging back and forth, unul it reached a street, and then ran frouy First to Sucond strovts, By reason of theeurlous winding form of this closely packed double coltunin, its actital length was more than twlee that of the distance Ina direct Ine which was covered. As the crowds coutiiited to arrive, they either took their places at the end of the Hne as it moved slowly along, or forme part of the xreat multitude of onlonkers who, on recount of the great length of the line, had despalred of entering it. IT WAS A MOTLEY THONG, More than half of those. stood here for hours and reached the Capitol by stow, shufling steps over the asphalt were black. Shere we men, women, children, aud ine fants In arms, the iiufira: and aged cripples froin the War, some of them wearing badges of service, and ladies in Swiss mustin dresses, aud young girls in pretty costumes, alone with ragged street trchins and a few tramps. ‘Nhe weak and erlppled old darkies in whose faces reverence and awe were expressed, hobbled on crutches and canes with aditiculty up tha broad marble steps. ‘The sight™of thelr sincere mourning was pathetic, There was no levity, anid but little couversation as the patient fine dragged Its slow length along, ‘Those who early In tho morning stdrted at the extremity of the Mne did not reach the rotunda uutll THREE WEARY HOURS LATEM, and yet they moved along up the steps of the Capitol ot the rate of 6,000 persons an hour, and this was continued from very carly in the morning all through the hotday. Ln the evenlng there was but little diminution in the numbers, and even atinidnight peoplu con- Unued to pass through, Surely nottess than 100,000 people will have passed through the rotunda and passed the dend body of the Inte President In the twenty-four hours ending atinidnlght. ‘There were a great many boys, white and black, i the Hae, who tempered their dole witha fino commercial tustinet, and did aducrative business with tho place- hunters who stood without the linc. ‘These boys entered at the foot, if they were unable to stealn place: midway, and when a possible customer was espied THE POSITION WAY OFFERED MIS For 25 on BU CENTS, necording to its nearness to the Capitol. Money handed, tho boys scampered te tho foot of the line, and worked along far enough in half an hour’s tine to make their places aguin marketable. When the folds of the serpentine column came near together at one or two polnts there were collisions which the police at times were almost powerless to control. ‘I'wice or three times people broke from their place in one part ot this line to a weale piace in the column running almost parallel but in the opposit direction, in one Instance two ‘old women had quite a tussle over the effort of ono of them to force hier way into the colunin ahead of the, other, who had already been nearly two hours workiug up to the place she pos- sessed,’ Next to the wonderful patience of these people, their pain at the sight of. the dead President's face was most touching, and hardly without exception cries of dis- tress wero uttered by the thotisauds who passed. Notn few of them regretted the haunting spectacle. Some, on the contrary, Nngered, drawn by 1 strange fascination, senrehing inthe shriveled fentures of tho dead man for somo token of that nobility which marked them fn life. DURING THE FORENOON adouble fils of people passed through the rotunda. Afterwards it was doubled at the steps of the Capital, so that, four abreast, they. entered the rotunda, On the west porch many HMneered In the halls and corri- dors, and the porches wers thronged all day Jong. Many took thelr positions high up in the galleries of the dome to view the scene, As the file of people passed the catafalque the line was still preserved by the flowers which were arranged ‘along the floor of the rotunda to the exit, At either end owas. a wreath of ivy. ‘There was a large column of white roses, upon which a white dove was mounted. A beautiful representation of “Tho Gates Ajar" was mado of rosobuds and smilax, and there wero besides a crown of white flowers and pillow of white roses, upon which in letters of violety were the words “Our Martyr President.” At night the rotun- da and dome were again lighted, and until Jat the ceaseless tide of people rolled on. IT WAS OUND NECESSARY at lust this evening to closo tho casket. ‘Tho remains hai become too unsightly to bo fur- ther exposed, and the lid was fastened down finally. Tho wreath which Queen Victorta cabled to be presented to Mrs, Garfield Iny upon the closed cofllu, ‘Lhe rotunda re- mained open all night, and, though thacrowd was greatly diminished, people continued to file through the rotunda the greater part of the night. The wreath with Queen Victoria’s card uttached divided the attention with the Diack, closed casket, ‘The casket will uot ugain bo opened, TNE COFFIN CLOSED, To the Western Associated Press, Wastinavon, D, C., Sept. :23.—Durlng this afternoon there were stens that the bady of President Gariletd had conmmenced to decom: pose, and, it being understood In such event that it was the wish of Mis, Gartield that the features of her husband should be free from publle gaze, the Hd of the cotlin was closed, by order of Secretary Blaine, at about 0% this evening. Nothwithstandiug the colin was closed, the crowds which passed through the rotunds of tho Capito! remained undl- minished. The line of people, four abreast, extended for inany hundred yards, while tho space In front of the building was thranged with a surging mass of humanity auxious to obtain admitiince, Stts estimated that since 7 this morning at feast 80,000 persons hive visited tho Capitol, and ot alate hour tonight there was no marked diminution of the num Der still walting to view tho collin euntaliing the remuins of tho dead President.
