VICE PRESIDENT MOTION TAKING THE OATH.
"a. TN conclusion II Ibis 81 enon, S,,dtor
Ingalls, addressed the senate His remarks
were greeted with applause from the galleries,
where sat Mrs Harrison and her daughter,
Mrs, Mckee, Mrs. Russell Harrison. Mrs
Morton and Mrs ingalls,, Miss ingalls, a
other members of the families of those for
whom the private gallery had been r. served.
At the conclusion of his remarks, Senator
Ingalls, turned and handed the gavel to Mr.
Morton, who Then assumed the position of
presiding officer. He called the senate to or
der in extra session.
PRAYER was offered by Mr. Butler, the
chaplain Vice President Morton then adj
dressed the senate, and at the conclusion Of
his speech the new senators were sworn in.
The message of the president converting the
senate in extra session was then read and the
senate, having completed its organization.
the vice president announced that it would
proceed to the east front of the Capitol,
where the President of the United States
would be sworn Ill.
The ceremonies in the senate chamber
concluded came the most solemn and most
imposing event of the day, when the man
chosen to be the chief magistrate nf the
United States was TO take the oath Of off g
and swear to defend the constitu ion and
laws of the land. The spectacle, though in
dubitably married by the weather, was
worthy Of such an event. In driving rain
storm were countless thousands of citizens OF
the republic, hoarsely cheering and shouting
the name of the p. esiient From one end )f
the east front of the long AMI stately Cap
ltol was to he seen huge wall of umbrellas
while Immediately bout the inaugural plat
form, great numbers OF people were packed
in an unmovable mass exposed to the rain.
On the roofs Of the Capitol building, on ali
The porticos, at ali the windows, and even
away up i'll the air. on the balconies Of the
dome Of the Capitol, We're throngs of people
all striving to get view of the scene The
crowd in the streets kept up a constant
cheering, shouting the tame of Harrison and
-four, four years mere In the distance
were visible the gay uniforms and Haunting
banners of the assembled military and civic
organizations which we're to take part in the
professional pageant Many of the bands
were playing martial music, and the strains
of the drum and fife mingled with the cheers
and short songs of the multitude assembled
around the stand.
On the stand erected at the central portico
OF the Capitol was arranged chairs for the
chief officials of the nation. The rain kept
pouring in ceaseless and driving storm.
Laborers went about from place TO place
with sponges vainly endeavoring to at least
keep puddles of water from filling the seats
Of the chairs.
The vast concourse which had been gath
cred around the stand for hours waiting to
rec the president, cheered loud and long when,
at 1890 o'clock, a lieutenant and private of
the signal corps appeared at the head of the
flight of stairs leading to the inaugural stand
bearing white flag with red center. Tho
