Corean wear had two feet wide at the
brim, in order that fewer of them could
gather within given space.
Since that the dimensions of the hats
have been gradually decreasing, but they
are still a ridiculous affair, which never
fails to attract the attention of the popu-
lace as their Wearers pass along the street.
THE CHINAMEN's LAYOUT
The Chinese minister was attended by
several members of his suit, healthy, Jolly
looking fellows, every one of them.
They We're gorgeous in new court cos
tunes of invisible purple satin with bibs
embroidered in colors.
OTHER WORTHLESS
Count De Arbo Nalley, the new German
minister, was probably the most conspicu-
Gus figure in the entire group, with his side
stripes of gold lace scintillating with the
gems and ribbons of his many decorations
The Austrian minister in his white Hus-
sar coat, was the object Of no little interest
from the galleries, as were also the Turkish
Russian and the Swedish representatives
THF JURIsTs.
The diplomats had hardly been well
seated on the democrat side of the chamber
MllCl lilC COuIL JUICES were all
nounced.
At this distance they locked like lot of
old women, but when they seated them
solver in front OF the diplomats and
wrapped their silk gowns about them, it
was seen that they We're simply group of
elderly gentlemen, and very grave and dig
nitled old gentlemen, too, they seemed as
they crossed their legs, looked gravely
about them, and shut their eyes as if in
deep meditation.
BOWED THEIR RESPECTS.
Everybody arose and paid them the re
spect of remaining standing until they had
adjusted themselves to the angels OF their
capacious arm chairs
The hour of II had now approached and
still the presidential party were delayed.
THE CLOCK TURNED BACK.
Captain Bassett thereupon turned the
clock back fifteen minutes After this
operation had been twice repeated to the
evident amusement of the spectators, the
gray hairs of the functiOnary of the senate
was relieved of his anxiety by the appear
ance of President Cleveland, leaning on
the arm of Senator Cockrell of Missouri,
and followed by members of the cabinet.
Two chairs had been reserved directly in
front of the presiding officers desk, one for
the president and the other for the presi-
dent-elect.
In one of these Mr.. Cleveland seated
himself while the members of his political
household, including the newly created
secretary of agriculture, We're Accommodated

occupied by the judges Of the supreme
court.
EAGER EARS.
a moments suspense, every one is bend
ing forward to see what will happen next.
The door agains swings open, and General
Harrison, with Senator HOar of Massa-
chusettS, rs his escort, walked down the
aisle. The retiring president arose to his
feet, as did all the occupants Of the floor,
and greeted his successor with a cordial
handshake'
Vice-President-elect Morton and Senator
Cullom, of Illinois, followed next. Senator
ingalls,, the presiding officer of the senate,
who Is essentially man of action and who
can dispatch more business than any SEN
atOr VINO has ever occupied the chair, lost
no time in administering the oath of Office
| to his successor.
THE NEW yICE-PRESIDENT.
| Mr.. Ingalls, address to the Senate was
| brief and in his usually happy vein.
| He then placed the gavel in Mr.. MOrtOns
hands and stepped from the chair which he
has filled with great ability for three years
| past.
The work from this point proceeded rap
idly. Mr.. Morton then addressed the SEN
ate. l have seen several inauguratiOns,
| but l never saw a vice-preSident who
| looked better or acted with more scarOir
fare than Mr.. Morton did on this occasion.
| The ceremonies ended with the administer

| old ones who had been reelected.
What host of memories their presence

Of Delaware for thirty-five years consecu-

Higgins, a Republican, succeeds him. Mr.
| Salisbury has been so long a member of the
senate that the one and two-term men are
political infants in comparison with him.
| The seating of Mr. Barbour of Virginia
to-day restores the state to the democratic
column so far as its representation in the
senate is concerned.
General Malone was succeeded by John
w. Daniels two years ago. and now Mr..
Riddleberger, the infante terrible of the
body who was its first and only member to
violate its traditions and set at naught its
customs, retires in favor of John NJ. Bar
bour, one of the ablest and most progress
siYe men in the old commonwealth.
INNOCENT THOMAS.

poker player, and who laughingly declares
that he does not know one card from
another; Dwight Sabin, of Minnesota, one
of the most genial and popular men in the
senatorial assemblage, and William E.
Chandler, of New Hampshire, whose recent
recOntre with Senator Blackburn is still
fresh in the public minds, will all be missed
! by those of their more fortunate associates
who succeeded in getting reelection.
THE OLD GANG RETURNED.
Among these latter who took the oath of
Office again to-day, are Berry, the One-legged
congressman soldier from Arkansas; But
Ter, of South Carolina (another one-legged
Confederate soldier; Chase, the senator
from Rhode Island; Cullom of Illinois, who
prides himself upon his resemblance to
Abraham Lincoln; DOlph, the good looking
blonde from Oregon; Harris, of Tennessee,
the best parliamentarian in the senatorial
body; Gibson, the scholarly and cultured
Lousianian; Colquitt and Coke, of Georgia
and Texas respectively; Kenna, of West
Virginia, who won his seat only the other
day after an almost continuous contest of
three months; Wilson, of Iowa, who re-
fused the portfolio of state under Hayes
Hoar, of Massachusetts; Mcpherson, of
New Jersey; Morgan, of Alabama; Ransom,
of North Carolina, and Waltham, of Miss
issippi. Senator Beck, of Kentucky, ought
also to have been among the number, but
he is still i'll and is not expected in Wash
ington again until next autumn.
When Vice-President Morton had fin
ished the work of inducing the senators
into Office, the audience arose and moved
toward the platform outside where the re
naming services were to be held.
