UNITY AND COOPERATION.
1t will be my constant aim to do moth
ing and permit nothing to be done that
will arrest or disturb this growing senti-
ment of unity and cooperation, this re-
vival of esteem and affiliation which now
animates so many thousands, in the
former antagonistic sections, but shall
cheerfully do everything possible to pro-
tote and increase it,
Let me again repeat the words of the
oath administered by the chief justice,
which, in their respective spheres, as far
as applicable, would have all my coun-
trymen observe:
| THE OATH OF OFFICE.
81 will faithfully execute the Office of
president of the United States and l will,
to the best of my ability, preserve, pro-
tect and defend the constitution of the
United States" .
This is the obligation have reverently
taken before the Lord most high, and to
keep it will be my single purpose; my
constant prayer, and l shall confidently
rely upon the forbearance and assistance
of all the people in the discharge of my
solemn responsibilities.
As the shifting multitude ceased,
toward the close of his address, his
words carried far into the crowd, and
we're answered with cheer upon cheer, es-
pecially his impressive promise to do all
in his power to restore prosperity. AS
he concluded the multitude again cheered,
and cannons in the distance roared.
President Mckinley smiled at his wife,
who lifted her handkerchief and smiled
with Joy as she caught his warm glance
of love. The people swarmed up to
shake his hand, but quickly as possible
he and the remainder of the presidential
party were hurried back to the capitol.
Thousands who thronged the terrace held
their positions until the parade had fair
ly moved.
PROCEEDINGS IN THE SENATE CHAMBER.
To the right we're four ambassadors,
Sir Julian Poncefote, M. Patenotre, Baron
Thellman and Baron Fava. Members of
the outgoing cabinet, except Secretaries
Olney and Lamont, were in a semi. circle
to the left facing the outgoing and in
coming presidents. On the opposite
side of the center aisle in semi circle,
were Chief Justice Fuller and associate
justices. Back of them we're the minis
ters of foreign countries, wearing their
rich uniforms. Members of the house
of representatives filled the entire body of
the hall. On the right side and in the op-
posite area, sat the senators and senat-
ors-elect. As the presidential party took |
their seats, Vice-President Stevenson |
arose and invited his successor to step
forward and take the oath of Office, Mr..
Hobart advanced, raised his right hand,
and took the oath in accordance with the
constitution. Then Mr.. Stevenson deliv-
cred his valedictory address, speaking
hoarsely as result of recent strain.
Mr.. Hobart advanced to the presiding
chair and called the senate to order.
Chaplain Milburn in an impressive voice
delivered the first invocation of the new
senate. When the chaplain closed, Vice
President Hobart speaking in strong,
we'll modulated tones, delivered his in
troductory address.
MIR. HOBART SPEAKS.
Mr.. Hobart spoke briefly, expressing
his appreciation of the high honor of the
position of presiding officer of the SEN
ate, acknowledged his lack of familiarity
with rules of the senate, but promised to
do his best to faithfully discharge every
duty. He asked for the cooperation of
the senators IN his efforts to expedite
business and make the work of the senate
a benefit to the whole people.
