would not go to the Capitol at all.
All the members of the cabinet agreed
upon their action. but when Mr.. Mckin-
and started With Mr.. Cleveland, he noticed
that the cabinet officers were not going
to accompany the parade. and, on in
quiry. learned the reason.
Sherman who was present Immediately
offered to give front seats to the secre-
tary on the floor of the Senate and Mr..
Clevclands advisers consented to attend
the ceremonies None of them however,
went on the stand. as Heads of Depart
ments.' TO listen to the inaugural, but
hurried off to Secretary Lamont's house
to bid Mrs. Cleveland goodbye.
Secretary Olney did not get Mr.. Nc
Kinleys verbal invitation to go to the
Capitol because he was not at the White
House with his colleagues i'll the morn
ing. being detained at the state depart
nent all day by important matters. He
went, however to the ball in the EVENING"

ing to the adopted programme but this
was disarranged at the last moment by
Mrs. Mckinley's weak condition. COM
