Jeffers: was the first president to be inaugurated in Washington city. Washington read his in augural in New York, Adams in Philadel phin. Washington's first inaugural was 1,300 words in length, his second only 134; John Adams’ inaugural was 2,300 words long, as Augrural ence of Wednesday and ideal days of brisk, bracing sunshiny weather, which led to the entertainment the hope that “Cleveland weather” had in before the end of Mr. Harrison's term These anticipations were not realized. Rain on Friday morning was followed in th ing by a colder rain, which during th developed into a snow storm sufficient to once more cover the streets with a thin coating. But the expectant multitude, be holding the untoward signs in the early morning, recalled the fact that on the day of Garfield’s inauguration snow was at 9 o'clock and the sun was shining and the dust was blowing soon after the noon hour, They hoped for similar good fortune today. and proceeded with their preparations with unabated ardor. But the morrfing opened with a heavy fall of wet snow, meltiug as it fell, and the throngs presentod a wintry appearance with suow covered overcoats. The guns of the artilery were covered with tarpaulins, and s10W covered. The people who were in the streets were almost all under umbrel- las, which were little protection against the snow driven before the wind. A force of men was kept at work on the inaugration stand clearing the snow, it having been an- nounced that the ceremonies would be held out of doors in spite of the weather, At 11 o'clock the scnate committee on inaugural arrived at the Ar- lington hotel and soon after a magnificent four-in-hand appeared. Into this at 11:50 Mr, Cleveland entered, accompanied by the com: ittee. There wasa thrilling scene justas he Bappearcd at the entrance to the hotel Mrs, Cleveland, us he was on the point of de- parture, threw her arms around his neck and kissed him godspeed repeatedly. It was all done 8o simply and with such wifely devotion that there could be not a thought of lnten- tional theatrical effect. From the White House, President Harrison did not retire till mid- night and was up and dvessed at 5, making final preparations for his departure from the white house. When Cleveland and Steven- son arrived he received them in the blue room and shortly afterwards emerged with them, entered the carriage and the march to the capitol was begun, The snow was falling fast when President Harrison and the president-elect entered their carriages under the white house por- tico. The president and Mr. C entered the first vehicle, an open belonging to President Harrison. dvawn by four handsome white house stables, and was driven by Willis, the white house conchman, Mr. Stevenson and Senator McPherson were in the second carringe, drawn by four big white horses, with white trappings.

All the other presidénts were favored with sunshine; some even with balmy warmth, Thus the popular iaea as to the prevailing inclemency of March weather in Washing- ton does not scem to be borne out by facts. The exceptions, however, have been of great severity, At Grant's second inauguration some of the troops nearly froze at their posts and many deaths were divectly at- | tributable to the cold, drenching rain, which accompunied the late president's entry into oftice. Great Crowds In the Senate. The senate began to fill early, and the galleries were packed long before the hour for the ceremony to begin, and many dis- tinguished persons filled them, iucluding the wives and families of the chief actors of the inauguration episode about to be enacted on the floor, diplomatic corps, supreme court, officers of the army and navy, mem- bers of the senate and house and other dis tinguished persons. The presidential party arrived at the pitol shortly after noon and was given a rattling volley of cheers as it entered the building President president’s pile Harrison at room and an work of bills requiring his signature.

This was pursued by Buchanan and Lincoln. On the other hand, Pierce, Grant, Hayes, Garfieid and Harrison took the oath first, and de- livered their inaugural afterwards. A curi- ous dompromise between these opposing cus- toms was made by President Harrison's grandfather, who stopped in the middle of his inaugural and took the oath and then re- sumed and finisned the reading of his address.

After leaving the zoological garden, stroll- mg through the Thiergarten, I met the kaiser riding his thoroughbred favorite light chestnut horse. The emperor wore a hussar uniform, and was in eager conversation with one of his generals, from time to time waving his right hand as though describing some new project, probably the mnew drill ground at Spandan. The kaiser had a particular grave look on his face as though tived, which is possible, as he works from early morning all through the day, and sleeps but little. Lately he has been taking the keenest interest in the railroad regiment, which has built a road to Schamberg, and i§ engaged there in building a bridge. There are three such regiments and they have arrived at a point f sach perfection in laying lines and build- ing bridges, and the kmiser is so pleased with the results, that he has during the weele decorated the most energetic of the officers in reward for their work. In his rides in the Thiergarten the kaiser's party always consists of five, including a general, aide-de-camp, a guardsman and a roral servant. He salutes all who salute him punctiliously, glancing kecnly at those he salutes from under Ris raised hand. His scrutinizing look and his extreme seriousness of countenance are wuch remarked upon.
