TO THE CAPITOL.
nAJOR ricKiNLEY ESCORTED TO
THE BIG BUILDING,
Where Later He Took the Oath as
the Chief Magistrate of the
United States.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The regu-
Presidential party to the Capitol began
to form in front of the White House at
3 o'clock. The police filled the center of
the street and the crowds packed the
sidewalks almost to suffocation.
Looking down from the Capitol win
dows, there was little earth or pavement
to be seen because of the masses of hu-
manity spread over it all. The space in
front of the platform, where the new
President was to take the oath and de-
liver the official salutatory, was early
occupied and the people spread over the
grounds between the Capitol steps and
the library.
At 1915 the mass of humanity packed
and left before Troop A, Ohio National
Guard, the famous black horse troop of
Cleveland, which formed in waiting for
the President-el elect. Major Mckinley en-
tered an open carriage, drawn by four
horses, and the Cleveland troops fell in
behind. The President-elect was cheered
generously during his short ride.
At 1920 Mckinley, accompanied by
the Senate Committee, drove up to the
north front of the White House. Major
Mckinley and party, entering the ro-
tunda of the house, were at once shown
into the Blue Room, where they We're

General Wilson and Secretary Herbert,
the Fifth Secretaries Francis and Nor
ton and the sixth and last General
Miles and some members of his staff.
The Black Horse Troop, forming the
Presidents escort, fell in at the rear of
the carriages. Following the Cleve-
land Troop came Colonel Cecil Clay,
commander of the District of Columbia
National Guard, with a glittering staff
of aides There were 100 men in
this division, all in the uniform of the
National Guard. The line moved down
the avenue through the black mass of
cheering thousands.
The division constituting the Presi-
dent elects escort to the Capitol was
composed of the Brigade of the United
States forces and the Brigade of the
District of Columbia National Guards.
the whole amounting to 5000 men.
All along the line of march to the
Capitol the crowds cheered Mckinley
with great outburStS of popular ap-
proval. He lifted his hat at intervals.
At Seventh street the carriage was
compelled to stop in front Of the stand,
and at intervals while traVerSing the

a prolonged gaze upon the President
elect.
1t was twenty minutes past II when
the head CT the parade approached the
Peace Monument on Pennsylvania ave-
nue., below the steps TO the west front
of the Capitol. The parade was
twenty-five minutes in passing the
monument The manners in which the
regulars executed the difficult move
ments required to make double turn
about the corners was decidedly brill
liant.
The approach of the President and
the President t-elect was signaled to the
crowds on the Capitol steps by the

fayette Square, distance of two blocks.
In the center of this, directly opposite
the square, it had been announced that
Mr.. Hanna had purchased go seats for
himself and friends and the National
Committee.
The parade was a famous column, no.

ter, Grand Marshal, at its head re-
called to all veterans the campaigns of

land and all the members of his Cabi-

Miles, Admiral Brown, Captain Davis
and Lieutenant Sharp also joined the
Presidential party.
Meanwhile Troop \ moved outside the
grounds, but left four troopers in wait
ing on the White House portico, of
whom one was Webb Hayes, son of the
eX-Presidnet.
The black horse troop took up its po-
sition on the north side of the avenue,
while a squadron of the Sixth Cavalry,
from Fort Myer, came down the ave
nue. at trot and swung into position,
squadron front, on the north side of the
avenue along the whole front of Lafay-
cite Square.
AS soon as the Mckinley carriage en-
tered the grounds the first detachment
OF the procession, consisting of pha-
toon of fifty-six mounted police, moved
down from Arlington Plaza and, fol-
lowed by the Governors Island Band OF
fifty pieces, turned down Fifteenth
street The battalion Of United States
Engineers wheeled into line, followed
by General Porter and 200 mounted
aides. Then came the marines, headed
by the United States Marine band, then
the blue Jackets, with the unaccustom-
ed burden of canteens, haversacks and
side arms trailing their boat guns,
mounted for shore service.
The light battery followed and halted
under the shadow of the magnificent
Treasury portico.
A aide from the White House rode
up and saluted Major Lebo. The latter
rode out to the front of the squadron
and waved his sword. Then, at the
word, the troops wheeled in solid col
umn to the center of the avenue, and
moved down towards Fifteenth street.
After a slight pause the Presidential
carriage rolled down the avenue to
the rear of the cavalry squadron.
President Cleveland, with Major Nc
Kinley on his left, leaned back with a
smile on his face. He looked pleased,
but did not return the salute of the
crowds.
Major Mckinley raised his hat in
acknowledgment Of the cheers. He
looked noticeably pale. A sad. almost
stern look, about the firm set mouth
suggested the grave responsibilities he
was about to assume.

Faithful Jews.
Solemn Sunset Services Were Held

As was to be expected on the eve OF
what is to the Israelite day of days, the
cantors Of the various synagogues b ad been
at great pains in attention to the music al
details OF their services. These were well
rendered by competent choirs of mixed
voices, accompanied on the organ.
The synagogue services will be resume d
at an early hour this morning-in some
cases, at day break-and during the day
sermons touching the celebration will be
delivered by the rabbis.
All OF the synagogues are especially dec

beautiful appearance. The affairs are
draped with white satin and silk altar
cloths frinsed with gold, while in front of
the arks OF the covenant in which rest the
manuscript scrolls of the law, are hung
spotless white curtains. The platforms
upon which the attars stand are all pro-
fusely adorned with white cut flowers and
at the services the cantors and rabbis
wore white robes. From the predom

OF the day, it might we'll be called the
white feast.'
The Day of Atonement, "Yom Kippur. -

The services were impressive and the
congregation that attended was larger
than that of any other synagogue.
