House all morning, and no one could pass
down the corridor reserved for the use OF
the Presidential party except those who
had a right to be there.
While the ladies of the Presidential party
were putting the last touches to their toilets
Mr.. McKinley's mother, already bonnetted
and gloved, stood waiting in the open door
way, smiling Joyously as those who passed
gave her some word of congratuiation.
While she stood there her distinguished
son stopped, and the two chatted mo-
ment while she held her hand on his arm.
Promptly on time group Of gentle
men, headed by Mr.. Mckinley and Sen
ator Sherman, passed down the corridor,
took the elevator, and disappeared. The
cheers and shouts that came up from
the st rect moment after sent everybody
ia rush to the window, but the mass
below was SO compact as almost TO hide
the ca rTiage itself from view. Mother"
Mckinley, more ninlble than the others,
was at the window the instant she heard
the first sound.
A few moments later Mrs. William Nc
Kinley Joined her and the two ladies left
their rooms, followed by Mr. and Mrs. Abner
other members OF their party, TO the ele-
vator Upon reaching the ground floor they
entered the front reception room OF the
hotel, which had been reserved for their

itself in the space about the elevator

Ca,itol the entire party was driven to the
White House. where luncheon was served
by ex-President and Mrs Cleveland. after
which the executive party wenttothe grand
stand to review the parade.
Mrs Mckinley was looking radiant with
happiness as she left her room this morning.
Her cheeks were rose-pink with excite
ment, and her eyes sparkled like girls.
There is no doubt about her attending the
ball, and Mrs. Abner Mckinley stated that
there has never been any uncertainty about
the matter at all. Mrs. Mckinley, the
mother of the President, enjoyed every min
Ute of the days triumph, but she will not

IN THE PRESIDENTS ROOM.
Cleveland Signed Some Bills After
He Reached the Capitol.

Cleveland Signed Some Bills After
He Reached the Capitol.
At ten minutes TO twelve the retiring
and incoming Presidents arrived at the
CAPITOL. President Cleveland was escorted
to the nia agnificently appointed apartment
which hea RS his name, although never oc-
cupied by him, except for few minutes
every fourth wear. The President was
looking exceedingly well, and dressed
with quiet elegance. He parted from
Ma ior Mckinley, who was escorted to the
Vice Presidents chamber, and expressed
his last Official good wishes to his sue
cesSOr.
No sooner had the President entered
his room than his old fondness for work
again appeared in evidence. His faithful
secretary, Thurher, was present 10 per-
form the last Of his oonsecrated duties be-
corinelv. The Cabinet was also present,
and the President found time to dispose
of a few engrossed bills that had not
reached him before his departure from the
White House.
He persevered in his purpose to affix his
signature TO no legislation with the details
of which he was not perfectly familiar be
fore he came To the Capitol. And he did
not stroke Of the pen after the actual
moment of 2, although owing to unavoid-
able delays in the arrangements his ac-
tual authority extended for some time
longer.
The members of the retiring Cabinet
spent most OF their time in goOd-natured
ex exchange OF mingled compliments and
railerv over their retirement. IL is said
they will all meet again at farewell din
ner at the house OF one of their number to-
morrow night.
IL is an interesting fact that although
President Cleveland has now passed from
authority his entire Cabinet is still In
office and viii remain SO until tomorrow
noon. But none OF the retiring Officers
will perform any except the most neces-
sary and minor office duties during the
few hours that they remain in office
Commenting on the beautiful day, Sec
retary Sterling Morton says that it pres
ages good luck for Mckinley. You re-
member how il stormed when Cleveland

The BURGLAR Was His Own Son

(From the New York JournalO
John winckler, a well kno wn resident of
Aqueduct, l.. L.. was awakened shortly
after midnight Tuesday by his wife shak-
ing him. Slipping into pair of trousers,
Wlnckler stole noiselessly down the stair
way. He tackled the burglar who was
at work liz the dining-roOm below When
ne had downed the intruder his wife
brought light. They discovered that the
captive was John Winckler, jr-, their SON
His face was almost black from choking.
His astounded father arose and pulled John
to his feet. John took a drink, rubbed his
throat for five minutes and then managed
to explain. He had gone away from home,
to remain away week, but, forgetting
something he had intended to take, had re-
turned home in the night, not intending to
awaken his parents, TO get it. He thought
for a moment after being attacked that
burglar had leaped upon him. After this
explanation the family again retired.

MCKINLEY SWORN IN
Oath Administered 10 Him in the
Presence of $4,000 People.

The Justices of the Supreme Court came
first in the line from the Senate chamber.
In front of Chief Justice Fuller walked
Clerk Mckinney, bearing the Bible. After
Justices, solemn TO the point OF severity in
their black robes, came President Cleve-
lanl, with Major Mckinley on his arm.
They were followed by the newly-made
Vice President, and the Hon. Adlai E. Ste
venson. with Senators Sherman and Elkins
arm in arm. Senator Mitchell, foot
shorter than either, with a box overcoat
and high hat, Immediately followed the
two Republicans, walking alone. A great
company OF Congressman with hundreds of
friends closed the line.
AS the head of the Presidents column ap-
peared, all on the stand, including a hun
dred newspaper correspondents, arose and
cheered. This was taken up with a mighty
shout by the multitude that filled all the
space to the Capitol bounds. On each side
of the Washington statue were stationed
the aides and escort.
The estimates OF the crowd that swayed
and shouted about the stand was any
where from 10000 to $1,000 At times
it looked as if some young fellows in the
crush were pressing forward trying to
make a break and do mischief. Most,
however, were good natured, and many
bore small American flags with yellow
knots OF ribbon on the staffs.
1t required but a few minutes for Chief
Justice Fuller to administer the oath or
o ffice Major Mckinley took the book
reverently and touched ii to his lips, and
the greatest ceremony known to the Amer
ican people was at its climax. As he turned
for his address great "Sh, sh. sh,'' swept
out over the Gro wd A little quiet was re-
stored. but the rear ranks pressed forward
and the police had their hands full To
keep them from a Jam that would have
cost a dozen lives at least.
As the address proceeded it became evil
dent that only few thousands at most
could hear what was said and the crowds
heganto thin out constant stream pouring
down the Capitol slope, fed by dozens
breaking away from the northern and
southern edges of the black mass of human
forms.

lighthouse boat Maple for the Albemarle
Sound in North Carolina, where he willspend
a few days fishing and hunting.
Secretary Thurber accompanied him,
and at the wharf bade goodbye To his
chief.
The scenes about the reviewing stand
were animated In the sun the air was
found warm but in the shade il was cold
and raw, and many were the sbivering
men and women who had gone early TO
the stand, In order To secure favorIte places
OF vantage.
1t was as late as o:45 when President
Mckinley reached the reviewing stand.
Before Mrs. Cleveland took her departure
from the White House the servants of the
household, clerks and messengers, all went
to the private hall and bade her good-by-
About l 2:30 O'Clock scores OF telegrams

The Color OF the crowd was that indie

yet. The bright faces lighted IL somewhat
and from the polished metal OF the off
cial' badges glistcned the reflection OF the
brilliant sun.
The poor, patient walters felt the hour
preceding the coming the longest they had
ever spent. Standing was bad enough,
in itself, but it was heaping Goals OF
fire on the multitude's head to have to
stand gaping at the huge platform of com
Portable chairs, with. absolutely no one in
them. The police refused more people

A manin the crowd yelled Hi, yi,' but
the quintette stood their ground, or rather
their bench, until the biggest of the police
men marched up to them and gave them
exit at the back gate.
Some diversion and encouragement were
afforded by the arrival of the mounted
officials, who rode their horses up onto
the plaza, and stationed themselves be-
hind the crowd. That looked like business,
and after a little more patience. the van

McKINLEY's OLD TEACHER.
He Had a Pleasant Visit With His
Distinguished Pupil.


Rev v Morrison, ID D., OF Providence,
R. L., has come 10 Washington TO at
tend the Inauguration OF MIR. Mckinley,
who was a bright student under his instruc-
ton when boy of thirteen.
DR.. Morrison called yesterday at the
Ebbitt House, and knowing that the Presi-
dent-eIect was not receiving callers, gave
his card to the bell boy with orders to
hand it TO Mr.. McKinley's mother. BY ac-
oident or design the messenger took the
card to the gentleman instead, and in
few moments returned with the smiling in
formation that DE Maiah say come right
up: you's his teacher
Dr. Morrison received a hearty greeting
from his former pupil. who introduced him
to Mr. Hanna, and then took his arm and
went with him to his mothers room, but
found that she was out taking a drive.
You must be sure to return said Mr..
Mckinley, for mother will be delighted
to see you"
At parting DIR. Morrison said with deep
feeling. "You have a great responsibility
deyolving upon you, but the love and con-
fidence OF the American people are yours"
Mr.. Mckinley replied: II hope / shall have
the prayers and sympathy Of yourself and
all good people,
