Morton nave been installed at Washington as PresL. dent and Vice-President respectively. The following Is a detailed account of the Impos ing ceremonies connected with their InaugU ration: THE DEC0RATI0SS. gayest features of the inauguration The scenes were the profuse decorations on every pillar and bouse front on the line of march. Every stand and available space were cov ered with tha Stars and Stripes. Pennsyl vania avenue, from the Capitol to the White House, presented the appearance of two huge banks of co'ored ribbon with bows and fringes fluttering. What little of the Naval Monument at the foot of Capital Hill that could be seen was covered, with a log cabin of the days of "40" built about it as a ticket oftce for the seat speculators. From every cornice between this point and the projecting corner of the Treasury building.flf teen blocks away, the various colors and nearly every facade were covered with bunting or made gay with streamers. From the great hotels and dry goods palaces to the beer saloons and tobacoo shops, there was the same display. The smaller the house the more llags and gayer the streamors. The huge Treasury building showed to better advantage in its bright bunting than any along Pennsylvania avenue. Every pillar was eut wined with the. Stars and Stripes. The decorations on the State, War and Navy buildings were very handsome. The north and east fronts were draped with flags and bunting, and the vrhole presented a beau tiful effect. Cn the Navy front the flagstaff was surmounted by one of largest American flags obtainable, while from the point from which the time ball drops 'each day were fastened four sets of halyards, eaoh running to a corner of the balcony. The one on the f-outheast corner contained four flajs reading, in the language of bunting: '"The Present will arrive." Pictures of Harrison and Morton shone everywhere and in every form, but their portraits carved in blood and tallow on tha backs of two butchered sheep hanging at Solaris's door, just above A VU lard's Hotel, attracted more attention than the most finished productions of less original artists. Nearly all the decorations were eonflned to Pennsylvania avenue and that portion of the interesting streets in sight from the liuo of march of the inaugural procession. THE WEATriER AKD CROWDS. All Sunday night the rain fell as it had been falling sinoa Saturday afternoon. Spe cial trains with exourslonists arrived at in tervals of a few minutes throughout the night, and the musio of water-soaked bands seemed to keep all Washington awake as they paraded the wot streets to their quar ters. The front of the Capitol bad been fes tooned in red, wbita and blue, and the plat form erected on which General Harrison was to take the oath of olfice and receive from Grover Cleveland the trust which he has had in nls keeping for four years. Monday morning these colors of the nation were be draggled and limp, like everything else, from the constant flow of rain since Saturday morning. But despite the weather there were thronged thousands of strangers in the city, most of them decked out In military or gala dress. Every train brought a crowd, and the streets and avenues were moving masses of humanity. One of the most notable features of the vast gathering was the prevalence of tha simple uniform of the Pennsylvania National Guards, of which companies of Infantry In 16 regiments. 31 light batter.es and three companies of artillery, nnder command of General John F. Hart ran ft, took part In the parade, as they did at the inauguration of Cleveland and Garfield. Huge stands were erected at every plaoe of vantage along the routs of the parade, and despite the drizzling rain which was falling at an early hoar these stands had already began to J up witb peep e who cared to se cure seats thereon at irom 50 can t to(3 each.
