INAUGURAL CROWDS ALREADY
POURING INTO WASHINGTON.
Rooseveit Arrives, Almost Unnoticed, and
Is Driven to His Sister's Home
in a Dilapidated Cab.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, March 2. Only one disturb
ing doubt remains -to -the Inauguration Com
mittee: Will the weather be auspicious?
"Fortunately ' the" latest I orecarts are fa
vorable, and to-night everybody Is happy.
The Weather Bureau" to'-nfght issued the
following special, bulletin:,
To-night the temperature Is high in all
districts except New-England and the Lake
Region, and the -weather Is mostly clear. A
low-pressure area covers the Mississippi
Valley and Eastern Slope, with generally
clear1 weather.nnd temperature abnormally
high. This warm colndltion ot atr will
nova eastward, causing clear and fine
weather In Washington., D. C.. and oyer
th-. Atlantic Coast States' on Monday, the
4th of March.
There la no longer any doubt about the
popular Interest. It is only the vanguard
that has come In to-day, but It has been
enough to tax the railroad accommodations,
to pack the stations and to start the throngs
jostling each other and picking their way
along Pennsylvania avenue. It is a sight
seeing crowd, bent upon making the most
of its opportunity. All dAy it has
-crowded the department buildings, the Cap
itol, the Congressional Library and the ex
ecutive mansion, decorously filing into the
gorgeous East Room of the Whito House,
sitting dwn to test the easy chairs, and
:'their decorously moving along' to examine
the captured "cannon and theother Spanish
war trophies that ornament the front of
'the War and Navy Department buildings.
Roosevelt' Arrival.
Nothing could have been more democratlo
than was the arrival this evening of the
Vice President-elect. When his' long-delayed
train finally reached the capital, one hour
behind Its scheduled tlme.he passed through
the Pennsylvania Railroad station, followed
by his family, absolutely unrecognized, save
by three or four old comrades, who met him
inside the gates of the tralnshed and
grasped him warmly by the hand.
Colonel Roosevelt and his party were
among the last to alight. The train was eo
long that the car, from which he finally
made his exit, stood well out in the switch
yard, and he had a long walk before arrival
at the exit from the train-shed. It was cb
vibns that moct. If not all, of Colonel
Roosevelt's fellow passengers, were unaware
of his presence on the train. With only
two or inreo exceptions iney naa icit me
cars as soon as the train stopped and made
their way as speedily as possible to the
street, without turning to catch a glimpso
of the Rough Rider.
If Colonel Roosevelt had expected ny
snore ceremonious demonstration on his ar
rival he did not act as though ho hod
looked for it Returning the salutations of
the few personal friends who had greeted
Mm, he handed a dress-suit case and some
light Hand-baggage to a porter, and started

and the children hurried along behind, mak
ing lusty efforts to keep pace with the vig
orous stride of their father.
Vice President Was Unnoticed.
Colonel Roosevelt, without looking at It,
approached the cab nearest the door. It
chanced to be a rather shabby affair, to
which was harnessed a decrepit-looking
white horse. Tho driver, a colored nack
man, wearing a disreputable tile, was sim
ply told to drive to No. i;33 N street, N.
W., .which Is the residence of Mr. Roose
velt's sister, Mrs. Cowlea,
As .the vehicle was a closed one, not a.
oul of the many thousands who thronged
Pennsylvania avenue knew who was the
famous passenger who was driven at a sort
of spavined trot through the briUlantly dec
orated street.
The militia began to come in to-day in
lively fashion Four county regiments of
the Pennsylvania National Guards and the
Governors troop of Scranton were among
the first to arrive. They made a brave show
aa they marched out Pennsylvania avenue
to the quarters prepared for them In the
Army and Navy building, where wagons
had been unloading straw mattresses all
Car.
Unfortunately, the good Impression was
somewhat neutralized within half an hour
after their arrival, when ten or a dozen
men of tho Twelfth Pennsylvania, in full
uniform, were already making a rowdy ex
hibition of intoxication and jostling pedes
trians in Pennsylvania avenue, having car
ried. flasks, as well as canteens, with them.
The incident was on unfortunate reminder
of. the unpleasant notoriety achieved four
years ago by some of the Pennsylvania
mllitamen from the coal region.
Delaware's Governor Ranks First.
Washington's authorities are making
treet preparations that indicate what they
expect the crowds to bo along the line of
tho procession. Every little park and gar
den spot near the sidewalk appears to-day
surrounded by a girdle of stakes and one
"lnch ropes to keep the throng from tramp
llnsT"oown the shrubbery. Eqeustrian statues
oi American heroes appear similarly pro--

Court will precede the foreign Ambassadors
In the Inauguration ceremonies in the Sen
ate Chamber, but the foreign Ambassadors
will bo given precedence In the procession
to the platform where the President will
be sworn In. This Is the dictum of the State
Department. Lord Pauncefote, British Am
bassador, called at the State Department
this evening and, as dean of the Diplomatic
Corps, discussed with Acting Secretary Hill
tho action of the Inaugural Committee in
placing the Ambassadors after the Justices
during the proceedings In the Senate Cham
ber. Mr. Hill explained that the Justices repre-
.rented one ofhecordlnataibrahchei uf
the American Government, and,- besides.
participated actively in the ceremonies, the
Chief Justice swearing in the President.
While the Ambassadors participate in the
proceedings, they do so as spectators, and
the State Department insists that their
proper place In the Senate Chamber Is after
the Justices.
Lord Pauncefote was apparently satisfied
with this explanation, but, from what can
be learned, it is doubtful if other Ambas-
sadors will be satisfied.

Two hundred and seventy-nine strong, the
battalion of Porto Rlcan troops took the

Pennsylvania avenue from the railroad sta-

which tho girl was walking. It was only
for tho timely arrival of the police that
he escaped summary vengeance at the
hands of a mob of fully 1,(00 people.
As It was, the crowd first assailed the
building in which Taylor remained, and
when later tho police brought him to the
door a detective had to level the mur

WhUe some of the rapidly assembling crowd
picked up the girl, others made a rush for

was easily located, they found Taylor's hat
and his rifle.
People in the rooming-house at once vol
unteered tho information that it was Tay
lor who did the shooting, offering a de
scription of him, and pointing out the di
rection In which they had seen him run.
The leaders of the mob began their man

of Lilly's drug warehouse. A wagon had
taken the victim to her home, to die there

Lieutenant Gordon B. Hayward, formerly
an officer in the Boer army, has sought tho
aid of the Police Department in tho search
for his fiancee, whom, he says, ho was to
meet in St. Louis for their wedding.
Now that he has escaped a soldier's grave
In a long warfare ho has returned to find
his Bweetheart, but she has disappeared.
I His wbrBt fear is that she may have per-
1 ished In the tidal wave tnat swept over
Galveston on September s. a rew days De
fore that date she wrote to him from
Galveston, and he fears she may hnve
, been counted among the thousands of slain.

Parislenne, Is the missing fiancee. Through
all tho phanerine conditions of war they
ykept up a correspondence, but it was not as
satisfactory as it migni nave dech, .oi
Hayward thinks Bhe may be in some city
anxiously awaiting now3 of him.
Lieutenant .Hay ward's brief career, as re
lated by himself, is aa romantic as a novel.
A warrior by preference, he was twice taken
a prisoner of war, and twice barely avoided
exile. Once, ho says, he made his escape
as a fireman on a German ship and the
second time he took the oath of neutrality
and came to this country to meet his sweet
heart. Lieutenant Hayward says he is tho son
of John D. Hayward, formerly th. Ameri
can representative of a wealthy English
rubbor concern. The senior Hayward died
in 1880, leaving his son his entire fortune,
which consisted largely of railroad nnd
mining stocks. Among the mining interests
was' a lot of mining claims In the gold fields
of Wltwatersrand, near Johannesburg, In
the Transvaal, South Africa.
Enlists in the Boer Army.
Young Hayward assumed control of hi3
father's affairs and made several trips to
Bnntii Afrin Whan the war with Enslaml
broke out, he cast his Interests with the
1 Boers, partly through sympathy nnd partly
' in order to protect his property Interests.-
On his way to Pretoria to Join the Boer'
j forces he stopped in London. While there
he met Mile. De Loring, who was traveling
! in company with Mrs. Elvl a Terirande, a
wealthy Englishwoman. Ml.e. De Loring
completely captlvattd Hay war J by he-
many charme, and In tho short Ume they
were thrown together they became fast
friends. They agreed to write to each
other.
Hayward arrived at Pretoria on the ap
pointed day, and, he says, rec iv d an ap
pointment as a Sergeant. He T.as atiacheJ
to the army under ucneial Cron,u. who at
that time "was g-thcring his fo.ces to cross
the Modder Ki.er. Haywa.d was in those
memorable' battles on the river when Cron
je faced General Mathuen.
A day or so later Cronjo was beaten back
to Paaideburg, where he surrendered to the
British General. Hal ward wj mk-n p.U

time, he says, he was token to Durban,
Natal, where he wag held prisoner. Instead
of sending him forthwith into exile, his cap
tors gave him tho choice, as he was an
American citizen, of either going to St.
Helena or taking the oath of neutrality and
returning to his native land. The thought
of Joining his sweetheart, he says, made
him take the oath.
Returns in Search of Sweetheart.
s fast as' steamship and railway could
ry him, he hurried here, arriving in St.
..uls Friday morning. After day's fruit
less search for his sweetheart he decided to
seek the aid of the police. Yesterday morn
ing he called at tho Four Courts and re
ported his mission to Assistant Chief of De
tectives James H. Smith.
Detective Patrick Lally was assigned to
moke a search of tho city.
Lieutenant Hayward Is stopping at No.
2116 Olive street. He is about 3D years old
and of medium build. He has dark hair,
tinged with gray, is smooth-shaven, and has
a square firm mouth. He has a cold, gray,
piercing eye. Hia manner is easy and pleas
ing. Mile. De Loring is described as being quite
beautiful. She Is 20 years old, S feet 3inches
tall and weighs about IS pounds. She has
brown hair, which is Inclined to curl, and
hazel eyes. She Is Bald to be an accom
plished musician.
Haywood appears much distressed.

where to go," he said. "All I know Is what

After I got the last one Bhe may have .writ

She may have bien killed 'n the Galveston
storm, but I am hoping he was one of

The direct - cause of Taylor's jealousy was
Harry Jones, a youth of 20 years, who was
born in St Louis. Although Jones worked
in Knnsas City as attendant In a hotel
billiard-room, his father is a wholesale im

He Had Previously Consulted With the Speaker, and His
Assertion Is Taken as an Intimation of an Agree
ment on the Exposition Item Anxious
Day for St. Louis Workers.
' The Rspubllo Bureau.
14th St ana Pennsylvania Ave.
Washington, March 2. Although the
World's Fair bill has not been agreed to
finally, there is little reason to doubt its
success. Mr. Allison, chairman of the Sen
ate Appropriation Committee, coming out
of tho conference on the sundry civil bill at
a late hour to-night, said to The Republic
correspondent:
"Your bill to safe."
The Senator would give no details, but
his well-known caution In statement Is
proof that he has ample reason for the as
surance given In this brief observation.
Mr. Allison has been in consultation this
evening with Speaker Henderson as to the
course of legislation until the adjourn
ment. As his statement about the St. Louis
bill was mado after talking with the
Speaker, Its significance will be at once ap
parent. When the sundry civil bill, which was
passed by the Benate at 1US o'clock this
morning, was laid before the House to-day.
with Its numerous amendments, including
the three exposition appropriations, there
was no opposition to its beini sent to con
ference. The conferees were:
On the part of the Senate Messrs. AUi
son,.Hale and CockrelL
On the part of the House Cannon, Moody
and McRae.
They met for conference at 3:43 p. m
Previously the Speaker had made known to
tho House conferees ills unyielding opposi
tion to the Charleston appropriation. He ;
said that the sundry civil bill should, even
be killed before permitting the Charleston
project to go through, regardless of conse
quences. While It was generally assumed that such
a course would necessitate an extra ses
sion of Congress, the Speaker and General '
Steele, one of his chief lieutenants, tried to ,
persuade the friends of Charleston that
that would not necessarily be the result;
that a resolution could be passea Deiore
adjournment providing for continuing ex
isting appropriations for current work, and
allowing only new matters to go over until
next December,
ST. LOUIS WORKERS
BETWEEN TWO FIRES.
Speaker Henderson insisted that the mem
bers who favored Bt. Louis were bound
by their pledge of. some days ago td. kill
it now, ' in spite" of "the "fact "that .ttey
would probably Jeopardize their own meas
ure. The House leaders ore especially an
gered by the manner In which the Senate
made the three expositions part of one
amendment, thus cementing them together
and making it very hard to touch one in
the House without affecting the others.
Various means were considered, and Mr.
Moody, one of the House conferees, sug
gested that a motion to concur in the Sen
ate amendment, with a new amendment,
would bring a direct vote on Charleston
separately. But here arose a new complica
tion. This would have to give precedence
to a motion to concur. It was known that
the Buffalo and Charleston men had been
working' together all day, to get sufficient
strength. Jointly, to carry the motion 'to
concur, in spite of the Speaker's .appeals,
and even commands, to his followers to
vote it down and keep the bill In conference
until the Senate should recede.
In this contest, becoming more sharply
drawn hour by hour, the St. Louis forces
found themselves in a trying position. They
were appealed to on one side by the Speak
er, Chairman Cannon and other House lead
ers to stand by them in the last effort to
cut out Charleston; and on tho other ride
they were besought by Buffalo and Charles
ton men to vote with them against the
House management. Somewhat in doubt aa
to the extent by which they were bound
by a previous promise to defeat the Charles
ton scheme, and conscious that tho backers
of the latter were growing stronger hourly
In the House, their position as the night
came on, was not comfortable, nor free from
anxiety.
The Senate took a recess till 8:30 and the
House till 9:30 p. m.
DEPEW HOLDS BACK
THE FAIR BILL PROPER.
When these bodies met in the evening
the conferees on the sundry civil bill still
remained In session, and no indication could
be had as to the progress of their deliber
ations. In the meantime the Exposition bill
proper, with the 15,000,000. for St. Louis and
its Charleston rider, was in conference.

declined all requests of this kind, and tho
St Louis forces tourned their eyes long-,
lngly to the Senate Committee on Appropria-i
tlons, where the sundry civil conferees wera
in secret cession.
The Missouri Senators have done their uU
most to induce Senator Tillman to permit a
vote on the merits of the St Louis bill, and
his course in Jeopardizing the Exposition
has been a headstrong, reckless one. Sen
ators Cockrell and Vest assured tho pitch
fork Senator that tho Charleston amend
ment would be put on as an amendment to
the sundry civil bill. Mr Cockrell would bo
a conferee on this, and as such he wonlS
advocate .the Charleston item in conference.
In addition to this, the Sf, Louis -risltinc
delegation authorized Mr. Vest to make a,
pledge to Tillman that Missouri and the St.
Louis Exposition combined would have sj
50.00Q exhibit at the Charleston Fair, pro
vided he would withdraw that item from the
St Louis' bill and permit a vote upon tho
latter unincumbered with outside matters
To all these appeals, however, Tillman re
fused to yield an atom. He realized that
the -House, would adopt the St Louis bill
and kill his. If possible; and he would not
take chances of separating the two.
GOVERNOR FRAXCIS
EXPLAINS THE SITUATION.
Governor Francis said this evening:
"Senator Depew refuses to present to th
Senate the report of the conferees on the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition bill, al
though "frequently requested by Senator
Vest to do so. The amendment on the sun
dry civil appropriation1 bill, making- appro
priations for Buffalo and Charleston, as
well as St Louis, seems to be the only
chance' to get our appropriation through
Congress.
"The Speaker and some of the House)
leaders, notably the chairman of the Appro
priations Committee, are very decidedly op
posed to the Charleston appropriation, and
are not In favor of the Buffalo item. TIM
Senate seems determined that the House)
shall concur in the Buffalo and Charleston
provision, 'and therefore it would seesa.tksi.
there i a deadlock, and it is imposslbla t
foresee at this stage what the result will
be whether the Senate will recede orth
House concur in the Buffalo and Charleitoa
appropriations.
"We hope that the final outcome wul.Tg
favorable to Et Louis, having faith in4 th
Government fulfilling its obligations. If thl
deadlock should not be broken, however. th.
sundry civil bill would fall and an extrtk
session of Congress would have to TM
called. We have not lost hope that we saaJt
succeed."
"I should add, of course, that the sundrj"
civil bill may be passed without the amend
ment for St. Louis, Buffalo and Charleston.
But, in order to accomplish this, the. Senate
must recede from Its amendment."
"You have stated. Governor, that Senator
Depew refused to submit to the Senate thej
report of the conferees on the Louisiana
Purchase MIL Why did he do thlsr'
"Senator Vest, no doubt, desired to report
a disagreement in order that he might mors
that the Senate recede from Its Charleston
amendment, the House having concurred in
the Sunday-closing provision put on by tho
Senate. Senator Depew declined to do so
because he feared Senator Vest's motion
might prevail and the Charleston appro
priation bs lost."
CONFEREES WILL REPORT 3
TO THE HOUSE AT 2 TO-DAY. 1
Without receiving the report of the con
ferees on the sundry civil bill, at WHO, th
House took a recess until 2 p.m. Sunday.
At 2 o'clock to-morrow the conferees wfH
report, first to the House, and a disagree
ment on many Senate amendments wilt b
noted, and a motion made for further ooa
ference. It la expected that, this will glr
way to a motion to concur in certaia
amendments, including the Exposition)
items, and after debate a vote probably will
be taken which will decide the fate of the
amendments. If defeated the St Louis ap
propriation still will have a chance on th
Louisiana Purchase bill, which will be kept
in conference.
The friends of the bin are hopeful of
victory before 6 p. m. Sunday.
