Wabhinoton, March- 4. With
solemn ceremony, in the preeence
of all the power and authority em
bodied in the co-ordinate branches
of the government, and surrounded
by representations of all the
great nations on the face of the
globe, Benjamin Harrison was to
day inaugurated into the highest
office within the gift of the Ameri
can people. Never was such a
crowd in Washington before. It is
estimated that half a million
strangers camped in the city last
night, filling every inch of ppace
and boarding house accommodation
and drawing to the full limit on
private hospitality.
General Harrison, accompanied
by the inauguration committee,

Hoar; the second, Morton and
Culloin. Mrs. Cleveland w itiensed
their departure from the window.
AT THE CAPITOL.
At 11 :35 the head of the proces
sion reached the capitol, and at
11:50 the presidential party
alighted at the senate portico amid
great cheering, though the rain
was pouring its heaviest. Cleve
land proceeded to the president's
room and Harrison and Morton to
the vice-president's room, whence
at noon, as already described, they
went into the senate chamber, pre
paratory to the inaugural address.
TAKING THE OAT.I OF OFFICE.
At two minutes before imon Mr.
Cleveland and his cabinet entered
and took seafs assigned them.
Then Harrison on the arm of Sen
ator Hoar appeared at the door and
walked to a seat at Cleveland's
right, the audience rising. The
same ceremony was repeated with
Morton. Before taking his seat the
latter was sworn in by Ingalls.

After the ceremony at the capi

turned to the executive mansion
with President Harrison. After
light'refreshments occupying but a
few minute, to which no guests
were invited, Mr. Cleveland took
his leave of President Harrison
and drove to the residence of Sec
retary Fairchild, and President
Harrison proceeded to the review
ing stand in front of the White
Horse and reviewed the inaugural
procession, which was the grandest
pageant ever witnessed in the na
tional capital.
Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland were not
present at the inaugura' ball. Thev
will go to New York Tuesday or
Wednesday.
THE CABINET.
The cabinet has not been offi

it is reasonably certain that the

Secretary of state James G

Secretary of the treasury Wil

Secretary of war Redfield Proc

Attorney-general W. H. H.
Miller, of Indiana.
Secretary of agriculture Jere

NtTES AND COMMENTS.
The first American flag ever used
was carried in the procession.
The chair in which Washington
sat when be was inaugurated on
the fteps of the old custom house
in New York was placed upon the
platform for the use of General
Harrison during the ceremonies.
It is a venerable but staunch piece
of .'ui niture.
It has been customary ior the
clerk of the mjreine court to pro
vide a bible for the president-elect
to take the oath upon, but General
Harrison brought with him from:
home an old bible that he has used
for many years ai.d carried all
through the war in his saddle bags.
He preferred to u.-e this and Mc
Kenney, clerk of the court, had it
so arranged.

Berlin Letter to New York Tribune.
In the bliiul asvlum at Steglitz, a
short distance from Berlin, there
lives a man wl o until recently was as
mysterious a peiaonage as the famous
"Man of the Iron Mask," Certain
persons high iu aut hority made ap
plication for apartments at the
asylum which should tie worthy of a
wealthy occupant. He appeared a
short lime atter, accompanied by a
beautiful women, who was addressed
as his wife. The man was 'all and
well made, and dressed in the height
of fashion, with hands that betokened
gentility of birth. The woman waa
young and aristocratic in looks and
bearing. About the face of the man
waa a linen mask, with an opening
opposite the mouth and nostrils,
which was nev r removed in the
