About Displays at the Inauguration Of Pres
ldents.
The following sketches about inaugu-
raj parades and other displays are clipped
from the Washington Star:
The first event of the kind, when
Washington took his seat, was partici-
pated in by a military escort. When, in
April, 1889, he was summoned from
Mount Vernon to New York to take the
Office, his journey was in the nature Of a
march Of triumph, for there were
demonstrations Of Joy all along the route
After the ceremonies at the Federal
hall he was escorted to church and at
tended services commemorative of the
event, and received the members Of Con-
gress and others in the afternoon-fre-
works at night ending the ceremony.
The second Inauguration Of Washing
ton took place in Philadelphia, on March
4, 1893, aud was made the occasion for q
fine military display, and ball-the
first inaugural ball in our history. The
third and last Inauguration before the
removal of the seat Of government to
Washington was that of John Adams, in
Philadelphia, in 1877, and there was a
fine military display. Mr.. Adams re-
moved here with the seat ofgovernment,
Mr.. jefferson was elected by the House
Of Representatives, and though he had
served as Vice President, under Mr..
Adams, so divergent were the Republi.
can Democratic) and Fedsrslist lines,
that the present custom Of the retiring
President seeing his successor in Office
was not observed, Mr.. Adams leaving on
the morning of March 4, 1901, for his
home in Massachusetts. While there
was parade Of two military companies
and demonstrations Of JOY by the people,
Mr.. Jefferson performed his part Of the
program according to the principles Of
Jeffersonian simplicity. The military
paraded in front Of his lodgings, ard
when the hour approached, he mounted
his horse, rode to the Capitol, dismounted
and entered the Senate chamber, where
he took the oath of Office, aud delivered
his inaugural. Returning to his lodgings,
with Mr.. Burr, he received many callers.
There was no ball at night, but general
illumination by the citizens. Mr.. Jeffer-
son had intended to drive to the Capitol
in q coach and four, but they were not
at the door on time.

Relics Of Antiquity Found in Excavations.
From the Globe. Democrat
Interest in excavations lately has
shifted to the Coliseum at Rome. While
some workmen were making sewer
last month on the north side Of the great
ruin they came upon the floors Of two
rooms belonging to an early period Of
the Roman empire. The Coliseum is
built at the base of the Esquiline hills,
on the site Of an ornamental lake con-
structed by Nero. When Vespasian and
Titus erected the Coliseum, in the first
century OF the Christian era, one OF their
ideas was to obliterste the gardens Of
Nero, and otherwise wipe out his memory
In front Of this lake Nero built his
golden house, and The mogaic floors found

Lo, uncover the land
Hid OF old time In the West,

When he has wrought his best.
My angel his name is Freedom
Choose him to be your king;
He shall build your pathways
And fend you with his wing.

and in q short time much disorder pre-
vailed. He was careful, however, that
this should not be repeated.
Mr.. Van Buren was the President sue
ceeding General Jackson, and he was
inaugurated in 1887. This was, like the
preceding affairs, a fine display, espe-
cially Of the triumphant Democracy.
Then the campaign Of "TippecanOe
and Tyler, too" came, and it resulted in
triumph and the Inauguration oI
Gen. William Henry Harrison in March,
1S4l. This was up to this time the
grandest display ever witnessed in the
city, the procession being made up Of
the military societies, clubs and trade
displays, and in the line there were log
cabins with the barrels of hard cider
live coons and dead chicken cocks
emblematic of the defunct Democrats
The procession was over mile long, and
both to and from the Capitol the old
hero, who had withstood the exposure
of campaigns in the West, rode, bare
headed, bis favorite charger, whileit was
a most inclement day, light snow fall
ing after the ceremonies at the Capitol
This exposure led to an attack OF bilious
pleurisy and the death Of the President
within month. Then the "loco fOcos,
as the Democrats were called, had theil
innings, aud the dark horse Of the
Democratic convention-James Knox
Polk--was elected over Clay, the leader
Of the Wings. The Inauguration took
place on the 4th Of March, 1845, and FOL
that period was most magnificent affair
For the first time out.of-town military
and political organizations, in any con
siderable number, participated. That
handsome and well-drilled organization
the Independent Blues Of Baltimore
headed by their celebrated band, came
over, and had the post OF honor. Mr.
Polk was accompanied from his lodgings
at the National hotel to the Capitol by
Mr.. Tyler; and when he reached the
White House the doors were thrown
open and For a few hours he was kept
busy in receiving congratulations.
As the Mexican war had brought
General Taylor to the front and made
him President over General Csss, SO die
it bring forward numerous heroes Of thai
war, and numbers of them were prom
inent in the inaugural procession. The
pageant was therefore more interesting
than usual, for aside from old Rough
and Ready" who rode with President
Polk both to and from the Capitol, there
were Generals Scott, Wool, Quitmsn
Gaiues and others, whose deeds had added
to the many laurels OF the soldier, anc
in the line Of the procession were over &
dozen military organizations. A feaGurt
of this part Of the line was several com
panies Of boys, in one of which. was The
Rough and Ready Artillery, with TIVE
guns, drawn by hand. The persona
escort of the President was au even hun
dred young men, mounted, aud th'
civic portion Of the unofficial procession
was made up Of "Rough and Ready

Viewed by the Deputies.

Paris, Feb. 22.-In the chamber of
deputies today the government was
sharply questioned by the socialist
leaders, NJ. Jaures and NJ. Millerand,
and others. in regard to the situation
in Crete, and in the course Of the ensu-
ing discussion of various motions, the
governments policy in the east was
severely criticised.
In reference to Crete, NJ. Jaures and
M. Millerand, who were supported in
their views by a number of other depu-
ties, held that the manifestations in
favor of the severance of the island
from Turkish rule, which had been
made by the French students, was in
full accordance with the generous and
humanitarian sympathies of France
and declared that if Crete should be
left to the sultan for the renewal of
massacres in the island. civilized Eu-
rope would be alone guilty of the out
pouring of blood.
Replying to the interpretations, NJ.
Hanotaux, minister of foreign affairs,
read the obligations of France to CO.
operate with the other nations of Eu-
rope. Crete, he declared, had been
placed in the hands of the powers, who
would not restore the authority of the
sultan in the island but who would not
the integrity of Turkey. The
will of Europe would be forcibly i'm
posed upon Greece and also upon Tur-
key. Greece's Intervention in Crete
was capable of exciting a general war.
The powers would know how to check
such ambition q
In conclusion NJ. Hanotaux said ii
would be necessary to effect reforms in
the entire east without the cooperation
of the sultan.

Carson. New, Feb. 22.-Piute and Sho-
shone Indians on the reservation near
Pyramid Lake were reported to be in a
belligerent mood this morning. but
slight display of force by the state au-
thorities cooled them down, and all is
reported quiet tonight. The first intima-
ton of trouble came in the form of a
message TO Governor Sadler, which read
as fellows:
Governor Sadler:
Indians have threatened to burn and
valley. Send us 80 men by special train
and 80 extra stands of arms
BY order of Citizens Committee"

Carson * Colorado narrow guage rail-
road 80 miles from this city. At Mason
Valley. near that place. three white men
met an Indian and two SquawS few
days ago and attempted to kidnap the
women The buck interfered and was
struck over the head with an iron bar
and killed. The local authorities re-
leased the murderers after a Derfunctory
examination and the Piutes determined to
punish the whites in their own way. The
and the settlers fled pell nell to Yering-
ton and wired for assistance.
Ad1utant General Galucha was dis
patched TO YeringtOn with instructions to
report on the situation Immediately and
the state national guard was placed under
arms at Virginia City. This evening
reports of n pacific nature were received
from the reservation and the guard was
dismissed. The fighting bucks do not
number more than 100, and could easily
be dispersed by cowboys. who are well
armed and always ready for trouble.

Will Fight to the End.

Canea, Feb 22.-The British, italian
and Russian consuls who recently
went to Selino to inquire into the stu
alton there returned today, bringing
with them 10 Mussulmans who feared
to remain in the town.
The consulS state that they were I'M
able to negotiate with the combatants.
who were resolved to fight to the end.
Both sides, Moslems and Christians, re-
fused TO be hampered with prisoners,
and therefore mastered all their enc
mics who fell into their hands.
Two thousand civilians and $50 Turk
ish troops with three guns are still
holding Selion against the Christians,
but their position is critical
When attempting to approach Canea
the consuls were fired upon by the
Christians, desoite the fact that they
were bearing a white flag. The Chris
tlans had been advised of their ar
rival, and this made their firing on
them all the more ineXcusable.
As they returned to Selino the Chris
tians there fired on their boats No
body is reported to have been injured.
The Greek troops have saved the
lives of a number of Mussulmans who
were captured by the insurgents at XII
samo Kastele.
Sixty Turkishr soldiers who escaped
from Voukoulis, which place is now in
the hands of the Christians, have ar
rived here. The account of the cap
ture of the place agrees with the re-
port already cabled by the representa-
tive OF the United Associated Presses.
The insurgents at Halepa have again
hoisted the Greek flag, but have not
renewed their fire on the Turkish posi-
tons, which are about 1000 yards dis
tant from the town.

Let Us Save Our Public Men.

"A Plea for the Protection of Useful
men" in February Review of Reviews:
Collateral demands upon public char
acters are greater by far in this coun-
try than elsewhere. The scholar in
Germany has due opportunity to pur-
sue his scholarship unmolested. In
England a statesman, apart from So
cial recreation and sports, is accorded
his full time and strength for his most
important duties. In France the ar
fist and the author are guarded and
protected by common consent. In Lon
don the editor, in office hours, is as
inaccessible to the ordinary caller as
the queen herself; and outside office
hours he is altogether a private per-
son. AS for our own country, one is
sometimes disposed TO take the dis
couraging view that we are so warmly
appreciauve of everybody who does
anything creditable enough to gain
some little public recognition. that
henceforth we are all unwittingly en-
gagged in a conspiracy to prevent that
poor fellow from doing anything that
shall embody his best concentrated eff

CANNOT GO BACK.
Greece Will Declare War With
Turkey on the Slightest Excuse.

London, Feb. 22.-The Athens cor
respondent of the Chronicle telegraphs
that Greece will instantly declare war
if the Turkish troops give provocation.
He adds that ir would be impossible
to exaggerate the intensity of national
feeling Greece cannot and will not
draw back. If she did there would
be neither a crown nor government il
"a hours. The correspondent admiti
that the opposition in the Greek par
lament is partly answerable for the
warlike demonstrations.
The Daily Mail has a dispatch from
Athens stating that the legation there
is guarded by marines.
A dispatch to the Times from Herak-
lion states that the Mohammedans ~
the vicinity of Hierapetra were given
a safe conduct to the latter place on
condition that the Moslems in the town
allow the Christians to depart unmo-
Tested. The Moslems have broken
faith and are OBTAINING $50 Christians
as hostages. The Turkish government
has urgently appealed to the consuls
of Heraklion to promote the liberation
of the detained Christians. The dis
patch adds that the Mohammedans are
pillaging the shops of the Christians.
The correspondent confirms the story
of the massacre of Mohammedans at
Sitia. despite the denials given to it.
Peasants who have arrived at Herak-
lion declare that 1,457 were killed
through treachery.

the Marquis of Ahumada is highly
praised by the Spaniards.
The case is very similar to that of
Charles Gown, who was undoubtedly
assassinated by the Spaniards. In that
case all the protests of General Lee
were useless against the formal official
denial by the Marquis of Ahumada
that Gown had been killed by the
Spaniards and in the face of indiffer-
ence shown in the matter by the Amer
lean administration.
Ricardi Ruiz was slain in a manner
called componte here-that is, he was
struck over the head with a piece of
wood or iron and his skull was frac-
tured so that he died. But how can
this fact be proved if the Spanish au-
thorlties certify that he committed
suicide by dashing his head against a
wall? The autopsy can only show
that the man suffered from violence.
but whether inflicted by himself or by
another person, ii is difficult to tell.
Since the case of Gown the belief
Is general here that the Spaniards
can kill all the American citizens in
Cuba without being called to account
for the crimes.
The great majority of the American
residents of Cuba are leaving the is
land.

DIsGRACEFUL POLICY.
That Which the Powers Are Now
Pursuing.

New York, Feb. pa special cable
dispatch to the Sun from London, after
referring to an animated debate in
the house of commons yesterday over
the Cretan question, says:
THE British public is becoming
daily more incensed over the eastern
question. Yesterdays bombardment,
led by British ships, has brought the
unpopular temper almost to the boil
ing point. 1t will not require much
more to cause such an outburst of
public protest as will in effect take
the matter out of the hands of Lord
Salisbury's government. Already it is
necessary to appeal every day and
hour to the popular fear of a general
war in order to prevent the force of
public opinion from breaking all the
usual bounds.
This appeal is rapidly becoming in
effectuai. The people are no longer
troubled with the horrors of war, which
are described to them. AS matter of
fact, Lord Salisbury. rightly or wrong
ly, has no expectation that war will
develop from the present situation. 1t
follows that the gruesome language
used in the house of commons regard
ing the dangers of the crisis is designed
solely to quell the public resentment
against the eXecrable policy which the
government thinks it necessary to
adopt NJ. Hanotaux, in the chamber
of deputies yesterday, also succeeded
temporarily in quieting French oppo-
sition to the disgraceful policy which
the powers are pursuing. He. like Mr..
Curzon, relied upon the technical vita
ton of international law by Greece and
the insurgents for justification of the
action of the powers. 1t must be adj
mitted, in spite of the absolute con-
fdence expressed in all the great cap
itals, that the impression is growing
that no progress is being made toward
a practical solution of the problem in

Mr.. H. embellishments who
was secretary for war in the ministry
of Lord Rosebery, asked that the house
be furnished with a copy of the in
structions which had been given to the
admiral commanding the British war
ships at Canea, and said that the
house would be glad to know whether
his instructions bound him to do any
thing which the concerted European
powers directed

whether the instructions forwarded to
the British admiral could be produced.
He would say. however, that the ad-
mlral was not bound to act with the
other powers against his own judg-
ment-
Sir Charles Dixie said that the Greeks
had reason to believe that Great
Britain had twice led the concert of

Bedouins and Egyptians.

r. Talbot Kelly, the English artist,
writes a paper for the February Cen
fury entitled In the Desert With the
Bedouin. for which he furnishes
many striking Illustrations. Concern
ing the Arabs, Mr.. Kelly says: Lack
ing education themselves, their respect
for superior knowledge is great, and
they eagerly listen to and absorb such
information as may be CLEANED in their
casual intercourse with the peoples
met during their wanderings. However.
great as is their respect for knowledge.
they hold Craftsmanship in still greater
esteem, and 1 attribute much of my
success in dealing with the Arabs to
the fact that / could ride the half
wild desert stations, in which my
previous experience of rough riding in
Morocco stood me in good stand. In
deed, their contempt for their neigh
bors, the Egyptians, is completely eX-
pressed in their common reference to
them as those dirty Egyptians who
cannot ride a horse" l may here re-
mark that in their habits and persons
the Bedouins are a very clean people
a claim the most ardent admirer Of the
Egyptians can hardly maintain in their
case; and 1 have known of Arabs. who,
obliged to cross the delta, have carried
out with them sufficient desert sand
with which to cover the ground before
they would deign to pitch their tents
or sit upon the dirty soil of Masr."
Differing from the Egyptians in many
essential points. their love for dumb
animals is in marked contrast to the
cruelty practised upon them by nearly
all classes in Egypt; but perhaps in no
way is the contrast more cleanly
shown than by the respect in which
the Bedouin hold their womankind.
Moslems Of the strictest type, they
seem to practice all that is good in
Mohammedanism. and avail them
selves but little of it's license.

Athens. Feb. 22.-The Indignation
caused by the bombardment yesterday
OF the insurgent position near Canea
by the foreign warships has increased
and the action of the powers is de-
nounced on every hand as a gross out
rage and a wanton disregard of the
rights of Greece. A very largely at
tended Indignation meeting was held
today, at which strong protests were
made against the interference of the
powers, who, it was declared, were
pitting their might against Greek
right. The speakers vehemently as
serted that the country was now more
firmly resolved than ever to spend its
blood and treasure for Crete.
Prime Minister Delyanis addressed
the meeting. He declared that the
cabinet was in perfect accord with the
nation. The government knew its duty
fully and would perform it in face of
every obstacle.
The audience was carried away by
the warlike words of the speakers, who
were frequently interrupted by cries
for war. There is no denying the fact
that the whole Hellenic people are in
temper which would make war well
come even against overwhelming odds.
They are determined to uphold Greek
rights and honor and will persist in
helping the Christians in Crete, not
withstanding the attitude of the pow
ers in supporting the Turks. 1t is re-
ported that Colonel Smolentz, minister
of war, has resigned.
M. Skouzes, minister of foreign af-
fairs, visited the foreign ministers to-
day and protested against the bonn
bardment and the consequent encour-
agement of the Turks. 1t is stated
that several Christians were killed or
wounded by the shells fired by the
foreign warships and that great havoc
was done to property.
One hundred Turkish prisoners, in
Guiding several officers, are in the
camp of Colonel Vassos, the COM
mander of the Greek army of occupa-
ton.
Karorakas. a Greek, at the head of
1000 Cretans, has invested the town of

row. The transport conveying them
