George Alfred Townsemt , the veteran cor
respondent , writes to the Chicago Tribune a
most Interesting account of the Inaugural
ceremony at Washington on Saturday. From
it the following is taken :
At 0 : 0 Manderson in the chair In the sen
ate listened to the one-legged Arkansas sen
ator , who had been in the war and got his
rights , and wanted tondjourn. A pretty little
scene followed if anybody hud understood It.
Kpl Huiiton , who drove General Baker from
Balls Bluff and the world , was sitting In
Baker's very scat , where , in half regimen
tals , ho had made a sneech devoting his life
to the union. William R Chandler was
grooming the good , old-fashioned George
Hoar and Vllas was stretching his legs for
exercise. Teller was buzzing old Mr.
Bassett the ancient piece of silver plato
kept hero as the only cupltollno ruin , and
Kugune Halo had his hands in his pockets
whore his treasure was , and John Sherman
ppeared to bo writing n love letter. Koger
) . Mills , iu complete Texas stage make-up ,
ntercd with his coat across his arm and a
oft hat which had served us u football.Cul-
om talked to Blackburn. The mighty Coke ,
Iko Polyphemus , rolled his tobacco quid and
vagged his Titan beard , and the Industrious
Coekrell hud already written a thousand lot-
ers to constituents before breakfast ,
ilcl'hcrson looks as thin as n gray sunbeam ,
nd the wild looklnu , weedlsli Poffor of
Cunsas sits afar oft with u beard of a suspl-
lous bottled black. The handsome secrc-
ury of the senate , McCook , Is reproving his
ages for opening a game of puss in the
orncr. Joe Hawley , happy In an interim-
lonal wlfo nnd plenty of now babies , sits
own with a newspaper face which abhors
ho morning hours ,
Crowding Soimtorn for Knoin ,
The senators all feel as If compressed in a
troot car between big women or shoplifters ,
or they have been compelled to double up in
Ills ago when no gentlemen sleep two in a
rod. Between every senator's revolving
hair , where ho was wont to wheel with the
olar system. Is injected a foreign and par-
cnu ehair , and all the back parts of the
enato tire set In cheap chairs four or five
cep for thu smug representatives who on
his day nro also going to get a piece of
Daniel in the lions' den. The noise of
ocloty perforce follows , the happy human
onguo clattering out of the dark corners
iko the swallow family out for worms ,
s'ouall that senate is squeezed into the
Irst quarter of the morn and looks like the
regicides all going to bo drawn and quar-
, ercd for signing King Charles' warrant.
They are near the blue clock that is the vic-
im of the only grizzly joke playeu hero by
hat predlluvian Bassett , who sets its hands
jack o cry 4th of March as If to say , ' -This
ntltics mo to marry again. "
.lolii-r Allen TrllH.Sturlrs.
iVt 10i.0 : just one-half of the senate cham-
jcr was filled. In the galleries , check "A"
iloek , to use a new expression of Phil Her-
> ert , and one-third of the other side also was
pull. A few were in the terra-cotta backed
chairs of the diplomatic gallery. John Allen ,
the Mississippi end man , comes in and the
doomed looking senate calls on him for jokes.
There sits Da ives on the front row , who is
o go out today after half a lifetime of ser
vice in this capitol and give a seat to Lodge.
Tlio octogenarian senator , Let Mori-ill ,
luietly talks with one of the new men. No
msiuess is going on , but n sort of senatorial
"Jua uer meeting the aspect of the place us to
; ho character of the audience is so much like
iin ordinary church congregation or lecture
audience. The natural or solicited mingling
of tlio political elements. In the close radii
arc republicans check-by.jowl with demo
crats , showing that party fires' have burnt
out. Yonder is the big bald head of Saw
yer , whoso costly stone house hero is offered
for f 115,000 , as ho walks the plank to re
sume board measure. Now Brice appears
with a warm red rose , the gift of
Ills handsome daughter. People began to
hope that Cleveland would bo Inaugurated
hero in the chamber , and not ire out and got
snow on his speech. The president in hid
ing near by sends In messages of approval.
It is told that Andrew Jackson for his second
term was inaugurated in the chamber an
other coincidence , perhaps , to comoof Cleve
land with Jackson. The heat is considera
ble , and yet an hour or moro before the spec
tacle. Allison , looking gray , sits by Isham
G. Harris , Morton and Mumierson arc both
thanked for their presidiums , and thus Man-
dcrson is forgiven for going out in his stock-
lug foot.
Hill mill IIU Protege.
David B , Hill now came in with Ed Mur
phy , two demure looking men. Murphy is
pursy and fat , a good deal like James T.
Brady , the lawyer of old. He is not as bald
as Hill , not as white , takes some of his own
bccr.und Is perhaps the first brewer we have
had hero. IIo lingers his white mustache
rather nervously and Hill cocks back in his
chair. Hill's inclination is to smile , Mur
phy's to frown. How many strewn timbers
of would-bonu-esidents of the United States
are in that littio senatorial circle-Hill , Alli
son , Sherman , Gorman , Cullom , Hlscock.
But the senate Is hero to receive Us muster.
A significant fact is that Tammany hall , not
only In numbers but in wealth , dominates
this occasion in Washington. Men like John
D. Crimmins , Mayor Gilroy , H. B. Uoosovelt
are plentiful. It is whispered among these
that Cleveland is out with Grace and several
others. Clark Davis now comes in with his
bright writing son , ho who llshed with
Cleveland at Capo Charles after the cam
paign. Yonder Is old Alvin Saunders , father-
in-law of Husscll Harrison , whoso beautiful
daughter is as the gem of the passing ad
ministration. Saunders sits by old Senator
TlptouofNobraska.wlioused to slang whang
Grant , as the Chaplain appendage of the
arm ) ) and of Schurz and Sunnier. A Turk In
the diplomatic gallery in a red cap , suggests
the evangelist of the Koran , Mr. Webb ; six
Chinese , neat as wax , cumo In the gallery.
Leech , chief of the mint , better known in tlio
banks of Europe than any of these senators
but Sherman , sits by a door.
lloko Smith Looks IIko n Northerner.
A big man , Hoke Smith , looking like
Gcorgo W. Smalley of London , sits by a
smooth-faced man with a high forehead and
not a hair of board , Governor Hussoll of Mas-
sachusetts. Smith looks decidedly more
northern than southern and his turnup nose
and palo skin make him also look Irish.
Hoko Smith's face expresses industry and
nervous combativeness. Stevenson's
ladles have a bench to themselves next to
the diplomatists. The great family of Don
Dickinson Is distinguished by numbers , the
tall Bassctt now docs the clock Joke and tlio
honest perfunctory laugh goes around. Ho
presents no bad picture of Pone Gregory
turning back the calendar to lot in the days
the miracles would not cover.
The biggest man on the spot Is Ordwny ,
once scrgcant-at-arms , a picture of Lafayette -
etto in old age. Old Wade Hampton comes
in resembling old Do Lesseps In Bisiimrcklan
pray beard and dead white mustache , ho
who once rode nt the head of the Black
Horse cavalry. Now ho sits by General
Miles , the Boston counter boy who has
licked moro Indians than a dime novel au
thor. Silver Bill Stewart , with a bunting
cascade of whlto beard , looks like Mahomet ,
Palmcr , > president of the World's fair , sits
by himself.
Now Mrs. Cleveland and her mother enter
and sit in front with her mother's young
looking husband. Mrs , Cleveland has aged ,
yet looks Jaunty. She Is dressed somewhat
like a Russian lady , with a capo of dark ,
heavy fur , something probably like Alaska
fur. She has a line largo bust. Her dress
Is grayish , her hands are naked. Her fore
head high , her skin pure and whlto. Her
hair dark and smooth. Her small bonnat
with a llluu bunch sits upon her comb. She
looks the tidy , settled matron. A cord of
some kind falls down her bust. She Is quiet
and talks across her mother to pa-ln-law
now and then. Her mother is gray with a
red rose in her bonuot , and the resemblance
is manifest.
Uorgeoiuly Atllrril Diplomat * Knter.
At 11:40 : o'clock , real time , the galleries are
all full except oao scat for some fifteen people
each side of Mrs. Cleveland , How many
who began to boom Cleveland eight years
ago are gene ; Curtis , Bcechcr , Clarli. The
diplomatic corpsrnme In gorgeouclv at bogus
I l:8H : led by the tall Fnva , who left us but
loved us and returned. It looks Ilko" tlio
entry of a circus whose animals had won
detained for n board bill. Turks , Persians ,
Greeks , Corealts , South Americans ,
Austrlnns. They were received by the
senate rising nnd standing and they stood In
sash nnd slashes and splashes of gilt , and
red and sky hluonutslde boots , spurs , buttons ,
every man looking for n man named "Pre
cedence. " Old Mr. Baasett , the ancient of
days , arrays them necordlni ? to the formula
when ho nnd they entered the nrk.
Now comes the supreme court , and every
body looks for Jackson , who comes last.
They file In spectacled , of all slcs , nnd ttiko
front chairs , Field next to the littio smooth
haired prematurely whlto chief Justice , Big
Grey next. Dlatchford following. Several of
them are Harrison's own , and notio look moro
like a bluejay multuni In parvo lawyer than
Jackson. As congress llles in like second
cousins at n rich man's funeral , overflowing
all the rear chairs , thu clock Is again set
back , clerks conthiuo to como In and road
things , and business nfter a fashion proceeds
almost like pageantry. The illstlnuuishing
feature iK this scene is the absence of formal
ity of countenance or behavior. The pure
voice of Colonel Morrow reads well before
the dignitaries. Dan Voorhees , who spoke
nt the John Brown trials , sits near John B.
Gordon , the great rebel lighter , now of a
face wrinkled nnd spotted us if with
old powder marks , Littio John Fellows ,
like Tom Thumb , stands hi the nlslo. Henry
Villard roars his big kaiser's face from the
back rows with an cagllsh look.
Solemnity of n I'niienil.
It is really 12:05 : , no music , no flowers ,
nothing uut mouths wldo open. Harrison Is
done for. The clerk who comes In from the
house looks like Harrison nnd talks like a
Virginian. The legislative mill Is still grind
ing in tlio house apparently , though Us term
has legally , or rather horologlcally , expired.
All seats are now full except ti dozen red
leather chairs in front of the presiding officer
to his loft , meant for Cleveland and hi mili
tary folks of the regular establishment.
John Sherman now stood up In the aisle and
in his soft voice announced that the presi
dent had no further communications to
make. It was a quarter past 12. The scene
was 'now composed to the solemnity of a
funeral. Some said Cleveland would go out
in thu snow because Harrison did the same
years ago. Speaker Crisp now came in with
Burrows , Blngham , Hnlmaii , and his big
men. Crisp is b.ild and youngish looking.
The house was rather a stronger-faced body
than tbo senate , owing to sa many tadpole
senators having been lately Introduced before -
fore their chins are swollen. The house
overflowed the chamber and drove private
destruction to chair tops and henroosts.
Now it was twenty-live minutes past I'Jnnd
by the clock lacked ton minutes. The
occasion began to have creeping chills down
the back. All was ready. All the doors of
the galleries , the smoking rooms , and the
vestibules were packed full. Carlisle sat
back of Hill , who introduced him to Kd
Murphy. Carlisle looked thin and nervous
and his hair in u few black slashes crossed
his bald crown. The gas was lighted nbovo
the panels of glass and sixteen rosy lights
made the crowded chamber Hush up. Wo
saw many of our female neighbors now to bo
pretty or buxom. Four or live times old
llassott shoved back time. How peaceful Is
the scene of John Gordon making George
Hoar laugh. Vice-President-elect Stevenson
comes in on the arm of McPherson , tall ,
slim-headed , bald. All rise. Wo sco tlio
lobbies behind them full.
Harrison enters on tlio arm of his adver
sary , followed by his cabinet. Harrison ,
with his hat craped and crape gloves , sat
facing all the audience. Harrison looked
pale and eminently respectable.
Dntrunce of Cluvehmil.
Then followed Cleveland on Hansom's arm ,
looking curious to these who remembered
him four years ago. His crown all bald ex
cept a tuft of hair at the front. Ho worohis
head on one side and seemed n little diffident.
He shook hands with Harrison and they sat
down side by side. Harrison , though the
grayer , looked the younger. With a speech
clearly delivered Morton bade all adieu and
swore in Stevenson. The events went on
rapid and business-like. The senate was de
clared adjourned without delay and the chap
lain passed his tones , every ono on the
floor standing. Harrison stood , hat in ono
hand , umbrella in the other. Cleveland
folded his arms across Ills breast. Ho was
the larger and the taller of the two. Teller ,
Hansom and McPherson stood on the right
of Harrison , Justice Field sat still in his
choir , old and his head In hit arms. Not
long ago ho stood by the scene of the willful
Terry rushing upon law and death. Steven
son spoke after the prayer In a thin-throated
voice , slightly nervous. He said the senate
was the most august body known to men.
The big Sir Julian Paunccfoto. gold-breasted
and red-sashed , listened hardily. Cleveland
kept his fist upon his hip as ho sat and
looked off into the vague distance. New
senators were now sworn in , each accom
panied by n colleague. The retiring cabinet.
opposite the supreme court , looked oflloia !
like and rather worn , Miller had not made
the supreme bench. Wharton , a fine looking
lad , stood for secretary of state.
Mrs. Cleveland and her mother eamo out
nearly to the stand. She was somewhat
recognized and cheered. She was still a
fair , round , flue woman , and gathered her
blue cloak closely around her and turned up
her coat collar. Stevenson's good looking
people sat near the crowd , while Mrs.
Cleveland was ut the entrance of the little
chancel or altarwhere , among leather chairs ,
Cleveland was to speak.
Sioux City 1'ollvo Think They Have ITocatcd
the Man Who Stele Thorn.
Siocx CITY , la. , March 5. [ Special Tele
gram to TUB Bun. ] On November 24 last
year a man who went Into S. Jonasen's Jew
elry store , lilll Farnam street , Omaha , to
buy a silver water service , picked up n traj
containing diamond sot Jewelry valued at
f 10,000 nnd walked away with it. For weeks
tlio Omaha police failed to get a clew to the
identity of the thief. Kecently a letter
written to Ed Chow , a sporting man hero ,
and signed Fritz , was picked up on the streel
and turned over to the police. It was dated
nt Topekii , ICan. , December 14 , and the
writer told of the way he stele the tray ol
diamonds , of being offered fOOO for them and
refusing it , and stated that ho had them
planted.
Chief of Police Hawman watched Chow
and intercepted another letter , dated Feb
ruary 5 , In tlio same writing , signed Kdward
II. Hurst. It was from n convict in tlio
Kansas penitentiary at Lansing , serving a
term for forgery at Junction City , and asked
Chow for money. Chow was confronted
with the letters and acknowledged their re
ceipt by him. Ho says they were written
by E. II. Fitzgerald , formerly n plasterer
hero , and acknowledged that Fitzgerald
stole the diamonds , but denied any knowl
edge of their whereabouts.
The police think they will be able to recover
c-over the goods. Chow also gayo up letters
showing that Fitzgerald forged numerous
checks in Lemars , Sioux City , Omaha , Kan
sas City and Topeku before ho was captures
at Junction City. Chow Is under police sur
vulllanco and Is thought to have the diamonds
mends , or know where they aro.

Editor of Tun Br.n : I notice in your issue

partment , some statements which 1 desire to
sot right. Two cars of products were for
warded by mo to Chicago from Lincoln , upon
which 1 prepaid for the commission Sl ! > 0. 14
for which duplicate bills of lading , duly
receipted , were forwarded to Chicago and to
the commissioner general , Omaha , and the
amounts thus expended were covered by the
$ \00 \ voucher mentioned and a subsequent
voucher for $ ! < ) . 14 , as will bo shown by the
books of the B. & M. freight oftico
In Lincoln as well as by the
bills of lading mentioned. The as
cents for drayagc mentioned was for a small
packaco from the depot upon which I ad
vanced tile amount stated , and the drayugo
charges on the two carloads of products
have not yet been paid. The transaction
was straight and proper ton cent , and was
merely misrepresented by Gale for malicious
purposes which will develop in duo cimo
The closest scrutiny will full to develop the
misappropriation of so much as a nickel in
this case , though for a tlnio evil disposed
persons may attempt to make a mountain of

WASIIIXOTOX , I ) . C. , March B. Thcro was
hut littio outward Indication today of the
quiet and sanctity which are considered as
attributes of the orthodox Sunday. The en
thusiasm aroused by the quadrennial presi
dential revolution , pccullnronly to theAmerl-
can republic , continued with some trillini :
diminution through the day. None of the
visitors went home , except those who were
Impelled to that step by necessity. When
the serious work of imlucthiKn ni-wndminls-
trntlnn into oftlco was completed the re
straint of discipline was removed and the
hosts of good natm-ed visitors who
have captured the federal capital
proceeded to consult their per
sonal preferences ns toVIIJH and moans of
enjoyment. Civilians , militiamen and others
einphasi/ed their o.-aiboranee In every way
Imaginable. Up to a late hour many clubs ,
preceded by bands paraded the streets , sero-
nndetl their frlnmls nnd found comfort In tin-
nslie and confusion they created. In early
morning which pn-ccdcd da.i light the celebration -
bration became moro Indh ( dualized , but
scarcely less demonstrative. The hotel corridors
riders wen- tilled all night. A favorite form
of amusement was "cracking the whip"and
it was nn odd sight to see such solid and disr-
nlllcd citi/.ens as belong to the Duckworth
ciubof Cincinnati trying to hurl the unfortu
nates , who. being nt the wrong end of Mil-
line hTd ! to serve as "crackers , " Into infinite
space. ,
In marked contrast to the daybreak of in
auguration moriiiiii ; the Sabbath morning
was almost irreproachable , and the hrlirhl-
ness of the day seemed to infuse now "life
into thi hosts of visitors here. The demon
strations of enthusiasm were irencrally kept
within reasonable bounds and scenes ap
preaching disorder were of infrequent oc
currence.

The first day passed by President and
.Mrs. Cleveland in the executive mansion was
of the most quiet character. The public en
trance remained closed , although constantly
besieged by visitors. The various walks
through the grounds adjoining the white
house were constantly tnronced with stran
gers. The only formal caller at the execu
tive mansion was Judge Greslmm , who
called shortly after midday , paid his
respects and remained to luncheon.
Later in the afternoon tlio president
and Mrs. Cleveland took a drive in the
suburbs , carefully nvoidli ; r the crowded
thoroughfares. A small bantam rooster ,
which was conspkuous in the Inauguration
procession yesterday , was presented to littio
Kutli Cleveland , and proved n source of de
light and amusement to the child. Private
.Secretary Tliurber was at his desk in thn
white house nearly all day and he and Clerk
Prudcn made a large hole in the formidable
mass of mail before them. Mr. Cleveland
did not answer any letters except u lew
which related to personal matters.
The cabinet ministers of tlio new CNCCU-
tlvo spent the day very quietly. Hoko
Smith held a reception and received the con
gratulations and good wishes of many of his
friends. Colonel Lament received u number
of friends informally , a few of whom lie en
tertained at a private dinner. Judge Givsluim
and Mr. Bissell had several visitors during
the afternoon and each of them went for a
drive in the evening.

Vice President Stevenson spent the diiv
quietly at his hotel. His daughters started
on their return to Blooinington over the
Baltimore & Ohio road at I o'clock , as did
their aunt , Mrs. Scott and her daughters.
In the afternoon the vice president received
a few calls from personal friends and then
attended Mr. Bi-ldwin's dinner nt the Ar

CHICAGO , 111. , March 5. A strike of the
switchmen and switchtondor.s on the Michi
gan Central is imminent , and if it is not
promptly settled there is a strong possibility
of its leading to complications on other
roads.
Last Friday the employes of the Michigan
Central formulated a demand for an ineroaso
of wntrc.s , with the intimation that an
answer would bo looked for on Monday noon.
The increase demanded was to ! U ) cents per
hour lor day helpers and ! U cents
for day foremen , night helpers and
night foremen to get iti and U4 cents.
If these demands nro not granted
the men sify they will strike , and the
majority of the engineers and llremen on the
switching engines , will , the switchmen say ,
stand by them. The largo majority of the
dissatistled men on the Michigan Central are
nonunion men , and Grand Master Wheeler
of the Switchmen's union said today ho had
no power over them though ho was endeavor
ing to prevent a strike. The feeling among
the dissatisfied men ii strong. If they do
not receive what they ask they say they
will walk out in a body.
It was learned today that at a secret meet
ing of the switchmen , hold in this city some
time ago , and at which every road entering
Chicago was represented , it was determined
to present all duimmds for Increase of wages
and for redress of grievances to the general
managers by next Tuesday afternoon and
the question of strikes will depend entirely
upon the outcome of these meetings. The
men dcclaro that the declaration last week
of the different roads that they .would In no
ease grant an Increase in wages is only a
bluff.
