time of it these days. There are
thousands of visitors in the city
who wish to shake hands with him
before they leave for their homes.
There are also numerous organlza'
tions who participated in the great
parade and each of these desire to
call upon him in a body to pay
their respects. The president IS
endeavoring to meet all these peo-
pie and at the same time keep up
with his regular work, aud this
means hard work from early morn
ing until night. He is at work by
1880 o'clock in the morning and of
ten>receives callers before eight
o'clock breakfast.
Saturday afternoon just at dusk
the president took long walk
through the streets and was cheered
several time on the way. 1t was
an unusual sight to see the presl-
dent strolling about in this demo-
cratic way. Mr.. Cleveland was
never seen walking through the
streets. In fact not since General
Grants time has a president joined
the general throng on the streets.
President Mckinley was accom-
panied by his private secretary aud
was joined by friends who happened
to meet him on the street. On
Sunday he attended service at the
Metropolitan church, and fully
5000 people attempted to do the
same thing. He was accompanied
by his mother and together they
occupied the pew used by General
Grant. The service was conducted
by Bishop John P. Newman of
DAN L dnC1SCO.
One feature of the inaugural fes-
tivities, which was somewhat un-
usual and which caused a little
comment, was the bodyguard of
detectives which accompanied Nc
Kinley during the entire day. They
did not let him go out of their sight
for a minute during the whole day,
During the great parade they
marched by his carriage, three ON
each side from the capitol to the
White House. This seemed a trifle
indignifed, particularly as there
was special mounted guard of
honor composed of so members of
troop A, from Cleveland, 0. The
president is not apprehensive of
trouble however, and it is expected
that he will be seen often on the
streets.
An informal dinner was given by
the president in honor of the young
people who accompanied the presi-
Dental party from Canton. The
dinner was quite an elaborate af-
fair, and was notable because of
the entire absence of wines from
the table. This is taken as an in
dication that there will be no wines
served at the White Huuse during
this administration. It is well
known that the president does not
use wines of any kind.
Senator Hanna has not been idle
since he came to Washington. He
has been in conference with every
other Republican senator and
knows exactly where each one
stands on the tariff question. He
is bringing to the senate the same
earnest energetic application to the
matter In hand which he displayed
during the last campaign. He can
already count up in his note book
the names of more than forty-six
senators whom he feels reasonably
certain will vote for the Dingley
bill Of the fifty fifth congress. He
however desires to make assurance
donbly sure. and will not be salts
fed with bare majority, and de-
sires to make 1t as large as possible
The policy of the ways and means
committee will be to placate
those senator's who are opposed to
the bill by raising the duties on
such articles as their constituents
may desire, and in that way win
them over This is difficult job
as the other Republican senators
