crowd had gathered near the Ministry

yond them could be seen the glittering
metals Of fifteenth century armor. The
saloons OF the ministry were hung with
French and Russian flags. After lunch

reference to the currency question provoked
considerable cheers, but the lOudest ap.

The Oath Administered.
At the conclusion of his remarks, Mr.
Cleveland turned around to the chief JUS
tice, who was attfred in the robes OF his
Office, to take the oath prescribed by the
constitution. Chief Justice Fuller and the
other persons near to the president removed
their hats, and with barred heads listened
to the taking of the oath Of office, which
was pronounced by Chief Justice Fuller in
a clear voice, Mr.. Cleveland asserting to it

as follows:

The Bible used in the ceremony was given
President Cleveland by his mother forty
one years ago. BY his special request, it
was eight years ago put to the same service
for which it was used to-day. This morning
shortly before IL o'clock it was brought to
the capitol by Edwin Frent of Michigan
and delivered to Mr. James Mckinney, clerk
of the United States supreme court, with
that it was Mr.. Cleveland's wish that the
chief justice use the book in tO-day's GER

for the occasion, as had been done eight

INAUGURATION DAY.

A Movement to Have 1t Occur Later
i'm the Spring.
The inclemency Of the weather to-day
is likely to add to the popularity of the
propositions of Congressman Springer
and others to change the date of the
presidential inauguration to a later
period in the spring. The Iroquois club
of Chicago, which was only one of the
many crack political organizations which
shivered for hours in the icy winds to-
day, held a meeting this afternoon and
unanimously adopted the following reso-
lutions:
Whereas, the inclement weather of
this present March 4, 1893, has demon
strated that so early period of the year
is unsuitable for the manifestation of the
respect felt by the American people for
their chief magistrate upon the occasion
of his induction to the great Office of
president of the United States; there
fore,
Resolved, by the lroquois club of the
city of Chicago, that the congress of the
United States be respectfully memorial

that the Inauguration of all presidents
elected by the people after this date
shall take place at such date during the
month of May as in their wisdom may
be deemed best"

took brush and cleaned off his own
table and wiped off what little dust
there might have collected. 1t was i'm
possible to keep the crowds, who over
flowed both galleries and floor, from the
marble room and private Hobbies, and
many ladies had gathered there in spite
of orders of the guards. Tt was thus,
through crowd bordered by a number
Of ladies that at three minutes before
high noon by the clock in the senate
chamber the sergeant-at-arms of the
senate came into the room of the vice
president, followed by Senator McPher-
son, Of the committee of arrangements,
and Vice President-elect Stevenson.
Here occurred the only incident that
MARRIED the Proceedings,
and it was repeated a moment later with
additional emphasis. When Mr.. Cleve-
land made his appearance some man
claiming to be a member of the house
appeared in the lobby without ticket
and demanded admittance to the floor.
This was denied by the guards and the
man became very indignant. At this
moment Sergeant-at-Arms Valentine ap-
peared, leading the way for the vice
president-elect. The man who figured in
this episode halted Mr.. Valentine, who
quickly told him of the situation, and
urged him to step aside and not to in
terfere VII" - ~n."ress of the party.
