The Deposed Leader of the Four Hun- dred Taiks About the Celebration. Ward McAllister, the dethroned king of the centennial ball, has found time to visit Wash- ington ata most opportune time. He arrived Saturday evening and went at once to Worm- ley’s, where he was given a charming suite of rooms on the third floor at the northeast cor- ner, This morning a Stan reporter sent up his card to the leader of the four hundred, half expecting it to return, But in a few min- utes he was escorted to Mr. McAllister’s room. He was seated on a sofa, surrounded by news- papers when the reporter entered. With a sweep of his hand he straightened the papers into a pile and arose, greeting his visitor very cordially. “What can I tell you?” he asked, speaking in his usuaily rapid way. ‘The newspapers have got all about it, every thing there is to tell. But sit down.” “How long are asked the reporter. “I dou't know, It depends oncirenmstances, don't you know, I may get away by the last train to-night, or possibly not until to-morrow. Iam not going to the ball, don’t you know. I'm not going to the ball.” Mr. McAlli this without a change of tone, with ius ey fastened on the Morton flats, with something of @ thoughtful expression in his ga: “I am here on business, you understand. dition of a sick person will govern my move- ments to some extent, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO THE BALL, You can say that the ball is going to bea grand success, the grandest affair ever known in this country, don’t you know. In fact that was my aim, to make this the grandest ball ever given here, Ihave worked for a year on its details, and it ought tocarry itself through sue- cessfully, yon understand.’ Mr. Allister saida good deal about the ballarrangements, He talked about the su per, the banquet to-morrow, the dance, ev feature, in fact. But as he talked rapidly on he skillfully avoided any reference to the re- cent unpleasantness between himself and the ball comm ‘The Stan reporter made two or three attempts to turn him im that dirgetion, but Mr. MeAllister always slipped around the query into another channel, THE SUPPER TO-NIGHT. He said that the supper to-night will be very grand; he had confidence that Stokes, the caterer, would make it a great success, “Hie ought to be able to, you know. He is to be paid an enormous sum; larger than he would get at any private affair. He is to receve $12 ah for the supper without wines, and $3.50 for every bottie drunk. There will be great quantities of wine used, and he will make a ood thing out o The fact is, you under- stand, that he was the oly man who would take the contract.” HE WANTED A COTILLON. Mr. McAllister spoke a little more warmly about the dancing at the ball, “I wanted to have acontillon,” he said, “a grand cotillon, in which every one on the floor could take part. A cotillon is the feature of every great ball in Europe, and it would be a grand affair here, don’t you know. Any one can dance with any one else, and it would be an eveut in the lives of every oue there. But the out, don’t you know. But thy ave adopted my idea” about the quadrille. will be no side couple I pro- posed this in order to save time, That idea of having the President ushered iu by heralds was suggested to me by Mrs. V: bilt, who had seen it at Queen Victoria's fetes, youknow. He will be met at the carriage by four fellows with long horns, you underst: and they will give three blasts, three blasts, you understand. Then an usher. a great big igiow in Continental costume. will announce e President.’ It will be very grand. My idea was to have this ball an immensely cere- monioug affair, to be always remembered, don’t you know. THE M’ALLISTER PLANS. “My plans are generally going to be carried out, you understand. In fact, they could not help themselves, I had made contracts for the supper. I had imported the cigars tor them, had arranged for the music and the details of the decorations, and all there was to do was to carry out my ideas, The committee wanted to ke the thing into their own hands, and so I stepped aside.” This was nearing the vital point, but before Ta: Stan man could push question forward Mr. MeAll INTO A SERMON ON WINES, and did not cease until he had told which ya going to remain here?” i j Wines were, in his estimation, worthy to be called the best. He said that New Yorkers were gradually acquiring the proper taste in champagnes, ‘The only champagne drank in London was the “fruit” without sweetening. It was an acquired taste, but when you once achieved it you never went back on it. A New York lady. he said, will not drink anything but fruit w “When a man sits down to a table he calls If you give ‘ood for terrapin and pate-de-fois-gras, him good terrapin, good champ: pate, you understand, you ples hat forms the backbone of the is what we aim to do in New York, you know. THEY MAY BE HARD TO MANAGE, “The trouble will be that most of the folks will go to the luncheon that is to be served at the Equitable this afternoon, and they will drink so much wine that they will be hard to manage to-night. don’t you know. The cham- pagne will have had time to take effect, you understand, If they are able, at the ball, to manage the crowd, it is found to be a success, don’t you know.” When the conversation had progressed for about three-quarters of an hour Mr, MeAllister became a little restiess and arose, going over to the table and picking up the New York papers, The reporter could but take this delicate hint, and moved toward the door. Before he went, however, he made one more attack upon MR. M'ALLISTER'S CITADEL. “Have you anything to say about that trouble between yourself and the committee?” he said, going straight to the point, Xo! no! no!” was the nervous reply. es Mr. McAllister dropped the papers and, putting his hands in his pockets, walked over to the win- a That has been told over and over again in the papers, and there is nothing more to say about it. I'd preter to say nothing about it. It’s an unpleasant subject, don’t you know, and Treally have nothing to say aboutit. I'm sat- isfied,” The committee are carrying out my ideas, and the bali will be, as I had hoped to make it,a grand success. ‘That satisfies me, don’t you know. Any ill-fecling between us, you siy? None on my part. I'm. satisfied, don’t you kuow. I have no fecling about the matter.” There was but one course left for the re- orter—through the door toward which Mr. McAllister was politely leading the way, and with a hearty good-bye from the header of the 400 he took Lis leave! —>__. Didn’t Know the President Had Gone. ‘There were just about two hundred peeple at the White House to-day, and at least half of them were so far behind the events of the pe- riod—so deeply buried in ignorance—as not to know that the President had gone away to New York to be present when the “four hundred’ and four hundred thousand others indulge in stately celebration of the centenary of George Washington's inauguration, ‘The visitors at the executive mansion were not office-seekers; they know only too well that the President and nearly all the members of his cabinet are away. The callers are simply sight-soers, local and foreign, and they expected to shake the President's hand at the regular 1-o'clock Mon- day reception. They were astonished to learn that he had gone away, and several of them wanted to know why the public had not becn notified that he would be absent to-day. Post-Oflice Department Changes.

Exazazetn, N.J., April 29.—The centennial eclebration in commemoration of the inaugura- tion of the first President of the United States may be said to have commenced here this morning with the arrival of President Harrison. On the 23 of April, one hundred years ago, General Washington arrived here (the place then called Elizabethtown) after a tedious journey of six days from Washington. This | morning, President Harrison, so great is the | contrast in the means of transportion wrought a. m., haviag co >. surrounded by the ease | rts and elegance of a Peunsylvania | i palace car, within six hours, | q Ls ats! but later on the | clouds lifted, with a gu eof tair her | anda beautiful, i Later, however, they shut dow people of the city wore astir early fore the presidential train arrived crowds of people gathered at the Union depot and along the streets leading to Gov. Green's residence, WHERE PRESIDENT HARRISON WAS TO BREAKFAST. | The residences, stores, and hotels on either \ side of the streets leading from Goy. Grecn’s mansion on Cherry street to E eithport, along the ronte of the procession, were gaily decked with flags and bunting. Three arches spanned the streets at different points, The first. seventy id and twenty-eight feet high, at Br Jersey streets; another called “the & izabeth avenue, and the cross-roads, on which were stationed forty-nine pretty girls dressed to represent fort) and seven territories, who threw a vol- fiowers at the President a8 he passed un- the arch, ‘The line of march followed as near_as possi- ble the historic route taken by Gen. Washing- ton a hundred years ago, and from Governor Green's resideuce to the Aleyone boat-club | house, a distance of about two miles and a-half. THE PARADE &\ was the most imposing ever witnessed here. 000 men were in line. The first divis- ion was composed of five companies of the third regiment, New Jersey militia; the second, | members of the G, A. R., 2,500 strong; third, lodges of the Ancient Order of Odd Fellows, the Junior Order of American Mechanics, Knights of Pythi the Knights of St. John, | and thirteen boys in continental uniform, The fourth division, the Ancient order of Hiber- fy s, 600 strong. The fifth division, called the department of agriculture, made a striking and picturesque feature of the procession. This was the granger or farmer's division. There were numerous floats carried in this division representing comparisons between farming one hundred years ago and to-day There were men in line in old-time costume: carrying scythes and sickels, boys going to mill wit! bags of grain, and groups of farmers with old-fashioned agricultural implements, such as wooden mould-board plows, cradles, flails, &c. The fire department of Elizabeth, ten com- panies strong. with their engines and appara- tus, made up the sixth end last division. By 7 o'clock fifty thousand people were ssed in and around the Pennsylvania depot waiting the arrival of the presidential train, The sidewalks of the principal streets were alive with people; martial masic resounded everywhere, and marching men were moving in every direction to take their places in the rocession, At 7:25 the presidential train ew slowly into the depot. THE PRESIDENTIAL PARTY ARRIVES. President Harrison, who, with his family, occupied the last car, was the first person to step from the rear platform, quickly followed by Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. McKee and others. President Harrison’s appearance on the plet- form was at once the occasion of a prolonged shout of welcome from the thousand or more people in the immediate vicinity. Carri: were in waiting, and in a moment the President and his family were on their way to Goyernor Green's mansion, Soon afterward Chiet Justice Fuller and Associate Justice Blatchford fol- lowed them, while the members of the cabinet and the ladies accompanying them were taken taken to the home of ex-C man Kean, Vice-President Morton and Mrs. Morton, who were the guests of ex-Con- gressman Kean, came over to Gov. Green's about 8 o’clock, and then for nearly an hour an informal tion was held at the governor's house and all the prominent officials and of Elizabeth and many state officials with their wives and families besieged the governor's mansion and shook hands with the President and Mrs. Harrison. At o'clock the President ered the sam! ra took the seat of Ee kee Ns built on the lawn in the rear of mansion and Gov. | paddles, | from the Chicago for all vessels to h j wake wa | cross-trec seats near the President, and Vice-President Morton stood up well to the President's left. Ten thousand people had gathered on the side- | walk and n sward near Gov. Green's mai siom and cheered the President as he graceful! lifted his hat and bowed to the passing organi- zations. At 9:45 the President left the pl form and enteringa carriage with Gov. Green drove toward Elizabethport, followed by Vice- President Morton, Gov, Sewell, Mayor Grier, and state and city officials. The President's journey from Gov. Green's mausion to Elizabethport was ONE CONTINUAL OVATION. The sidewalks, windows, and doorways were crowded with people, who cheered vociferously as the President's carriage drove by. All along din and music of drums and fifes and brass in- struments, After reviewing the parade the President was then driven in an open barouche along the shore of the Kill to the Al boat-house, where the — entire was reunited, and where a oared gig fro! the Despatch w take the President aboard, Owing to the low water the De tch had been forced ta anchor behind Shooters’ Island, At 10:20 THE PRESIDENT WALKED DOWN TO THE FLoat, | followed by Vice-President Morton and Gupt. Erben, They took their seats in the gig amid the cheers of the assem- bled crowds, the shricks of — steam whistles and ringing of bells. The gig then put off and the measured strokes of the sailors soon brought the boat alongside the De- spatch, Then followed the urkation of the rest of the party in the tenders of the navy-yard tug Nina.

New Yous, April 29—The city is literally clothed in flags and bunting and on all sides are evidences of a invish expenditure of money in decorations of the buildings below the city ; hall. The most noticeable are those immediately opposite the Equitable building, the Drexel- Morgan building, the custom-house, the various exchanges, and the sub-treasury building. The ssive columus in front of the latter building are entwined with flags and from each column a United States shield is displayed. The stand on which the exercises will take place to-morrow is covered with numberless tastefully-arranged flags and coats-of-arms, Large American flags cover the walls of the barge office and each window is framed with the national emblem. THE DECORATIONS ON TRINITY CHURCH are mainly about the entrances, and consist of a simple but beautiful drapery of flags, From a window in the steeple protrudes a pole on which is suspended a large flag. THE DECORATIONS ON THE CITY BALL are of a most artistic nature. Immediately over the entrance are eight American flags, formed like half rosettes, he balcony above is trimmed with bunting, each corner held with a shield, surrounded by half a dozen small flags. and in the center, surmounted by a num- ber of fiags, is a it of - ton.
