STRANGERS AND VISITORS
from every city, town and township in
the country are here, crowding every
hotel, while others are finding tempor-
airy shelter in private residences,
IN boarding houses. in railway
coaches and in the depots. The in
fiux of visitors is variously estimated at
from $4,000 to 100000 people. Evidently
the crowd will be the largest, the par
ade the finest, and the Inauguration
ball the most magnificent that has ever
honored an incoming president of the
United States. A drzzling rain set in
yesterday afternoon and has con-
tinued ever since, and threatens to-
night to mar somewhat the pleasure
and JoyOusness of tomorrow. All day
long, Notwithstanding the unpropitious
weather, the principal streets of
the city were thronged with crowds
of visitors, and strains of martial
music were heard from the bands of ar
irving organizations marching to their
quarters, while the hotel lobbieS and
corridors were rendered almost impass-
able by masses of talking, laughing
and smoking humanity.

are so arranged In amphitheatrical
form that on the main floor no person
can be more than thirty-fve feet from
the speaker, and in the galleries more
than forty-two. The halls and side
rooms are decorated in harmony with
the chapel. The pastors study is in the
southwest corner on the gallery fiOOu
and is the pleaSanteSt room in the
church. With fireplace, an oriole,
window and one entire side of the room
taken up with books and attractive fur!

imagined. In the opposite corner on
this floor is the Unity or Young Peo-i

antique oak, with tiled fireplace. The
organ. occupying the corner next the
pulpit, is very fine instrument andl

kitchen, toilet rooms, boiler rooms, and
other apartments, a music hall 3lX64

WAS THERE A CONFLICT.
An American-German Battle Re-
ported Off Samoa.

KEEL, March 3.--A rumor is current
in naval circles here that conflict has
taken place in Samoan waters between
an American man-of-war and the Ger
man corvette Olgo. 1t is alleged that
the American vessel fired the first shot.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-Secre-
tary Bayard said tonight that he
has not heard anything of the reported
conflict between a German and an
American war vessel in Samoan waters.
He regarded such a conflict as highly
improbable, as there was an under
standing that belligerent action in
Samoa should be suspended, pending
the conference to be held at Berlin. He
also pointed out that it was hardly pos
sible that information of such state of
affairs would be known at Kiel before
the news was received at Berlin or
Washington.
BERLIN, March 3.-A truce has been
arranged between the German consul at
Samoa and King Mataafa to remain in
force until after the Berlin conference.
By the terms of the truce Mataafa
agrees to prevent the destruction of
German estates,

and Picturesque Church in Min
neapOlis.
1t is unique little building of Indian
red and Luverne jasper that makes the
home of the First Unitarian church. 10
is located at the corner of Eighth street,
and Mary place, in the very center Of
the city, and in place that seems to
have been made for it to fit. From the
absence of spire to. the fire place in
the main auditorium the building is
home and not temple. The elegant
parlOrs occupy large space at either
end of the building, and the easy chars
with which they are furnished are Of
Sunday mornings occupied by the meme
berS who deserve the privilege. for the
parlOrs open into the main auditorium.
In niche above the corner fireplace is
bust of DR.. Simmons idol-Emer-
son. The auditorium occupies 65 feet
of the total lis feet which makes up
the total length of the building. and is
forty-seven feet in width. The galleries
are but little above the main floor. and
do not extend over it. The ceilings and
walls of the church are finished in brick
and mahogany. which blend prettily
with the antique brass of the gas fix
lures and the rich curtains hung at the
windows and doors. Rich olive tints
prevail, with outlines of gold. lemon and
copper bronzes. There are few EN-.
blematical figures in white. The main
entrance.is prominent feature, being
from the old Italian, having a double
arch, with massive pillars of polished

A Sketch of the Life of the EIos

a Sketcn or the Life OF the ElOS
quent and Earnest Divine.
The members of the church think OF
DR.. H. M. Simmons as the guide who
has led them through the difficult por.I
tions of their progress in the early part
of their organization, 1t was he who.
preached their first sermon; he gave the !
impulse that finally created the sociery;
he held them together and inspired
them from the first, and now in their
prosperity he is just as capable of being,
their leader. The people of Minneapo-
lis have come to look to him as a sage
and philosopher, and he has attracted
about him some of the best thought and;
culture of the city. The growth OF the
church is largely due to this scholarly,
ability of its minister. A great number
of his sermons are printed, and are
widely read, not only in MinneapO-'
lis, but by the scholars of the
country. The topics of his weekly dis
courses are watched by many of the
thinking men and women of the city,
and they will go to learn what the re-
suit of his study on the subject is, even
though they may differ with him as to
religion. A sermon of his that has
been very widely read is entitled the
Religion of Jesus" and book which

West Virginia Will Have Three
Governors Tonight.

Governors To- Night.
Special to the Globe
CHARLESTON, W. Va, March s.
There is a great deal of excitement
among the politicians to-day over the
gubernatorial situation. tomorrow be-
ing the day for inaugurating a gov
ernor. There will be three claimants
for the place. Gov. Wilson, the present
incumbent, will refuse to vacate, deem
ing it his duty, under the constitution,
to hold over until his successor is duly
declared elected and qualified. Gen.
Golf, the Republican candidate, claims
that he was duly elected governor of
West Virginia and that the notice
of contest filed by the contestant, Judge
Fleming, admits that Golf has ITO ma
jOrity, but that the speaker of the house
of delegates refused to have opened
and published the certificates of the
votes for governor. He claims that this
non-action of the speaker does not de-
prive him of the right to be seated as
governor. r. j. Carr, president of the
senate, will also claim that he is enti-
tied to be governor under the constitu-
ton, which provides that I'm case of
death, failure to qualify, etc., the presi-
dent OF the senate Shall act as gov
ernOr."

New YORK, March 3.-Never since
the inauguration ceremonies begun has
there been such an exodus of people
from this city as there has been to-day
to witness the ceremonies in Washing
ton. More than twice as many tickets
have been sold for this Inauguration by
the Pennsylvania railroad than had
been sold four years ago, and that was
the largest in all previous history. All
day long special trains had been run on
the Pennsylvania railroad. Each train
that went out did so in three or four
sections, about ten minutes apart, and
nearly every coach was filed. Among
the organizations which left here dur
ing the day was the Seventh regiment,

company.
CAUSED A LAUGH.
During lull in the proceedings, and
while the senate had no item of buSi-
ness before it, two petitions were pre-
sented Iby Mr.. Cameron, the indorse-
ments OF which (by their appoSiteness
to the OccaSion), provoked ripple of
laughter. One was in favor of Sunday
rest law, and the other in opposition to
it. The presiding officer himself
contributed a petition from citi-
zens of Kansas protesting against
the passage Of any bill for
the observance of Sunday. Then Mr..
Blair. rising to what he called morning
Philadelphia for constitutional amend
ment against religious or sectarian
education in public schools. Mr..
Dolph's contribution to the Sunday
rest' idea was motion which he sub
mltted to discharge the committee
on education and labor from the further
consideration of the bill, Ito secure
to the people the enjoyment of the first
day of the week, commonly known as
the Lords day as day of rest. and to
promote its observance as day of re-
ligiOus Worship" Mr.. Blair, tthe au-
thor of the bill and the chairman of
CiiC On
labor, inquired with an air of
surprise, the meaning and object
of the motion; but any opportunity
for an explanation was cut OFF by
an objection raised by Mr.. Hoar and
sustained by the chair. that, under the
rules, motion to discharge committee
must lie over for day. At 10:45 the
senate took recess until midnight,
when the conferrees on the deficiency
bill reported they had agreed with the
house conferrees. The report was at
once agreed to, and at a. m. the SEN
ate, on motion of Mr.. Edmunds, pro-
ceeded to the consideration of executive
business.
Mr.. Riddleberger, when removed to
the cloak room, quieted down, and after
about a quarter of an hour left the capi-
tol for his hotel-the MetrOpolitan-in
