May Not be Able to Perform His Part
in the Inauguration.
His Illness Causing Anxiety Among
Senators and Representatives of
Both Parties, Who Fear 1t rlay
Cause Him to Leave Unsigned
rlany Bills Now Before Him.

WASHINGTON. March 2.-Presdent
Cleveland has suffered for week from
rheumatic gout which has now as
sumed such proportions that there is
some question whether he will be able
to take part in the inauguration cere-
monies on March 4th. though he is TAX
ing special care of himself in order that
he may perform his part in the cere-
monies. While his condition is not
such as to excite any alarm, it is ex-
tremely painful
Secretary Thurber admitted to-day
that the President was confined to his
bed. Surgeon-General Sternberg of the
army was called in yesterday. He said
that rest and nursing was all that was
needed to put the President back on his
feet, but he advised quiet and little
worry as possible over official duties
For several days the President has
been receiving no visitors, and all his
office work has been transacted sit
ting at his desk with one leg swathed
in bandages and resting on a chair To-
day he was not able even to go to his
office
The Presidents condition is causing
anxiety to Senators and Representa-
tives of both parties. who fear that it
may cause him to leave unsigned q
number of minor bills of particular in
terest to the members who have been
pushing them. and which otherwise
would have received the Presidents
signature before the closing of his
term of office
The last meeting of the Cabinet was
held to-day, but, for the first time, it
was conducted without the presence Of
the President. He remained in his
private apartments, and all matters
have been referred to him there.
AS to the possibility of the Presi-
dents inability to attend the Inaugural
ton ceremonies. Secretary Thurber
said to-day: He will go if he can force
himself to do il.
Captain Robley d. Evans called this
morning to arrange for the ducks shoot
ing trip that was to be taken the latter
part OF 4ne week. Mr.. Cleveland had
intended to leave Thursday afternoon
for the South, but it is now more than
probable that the trip will have to be
abandoned
At the Cabinet meeting to-day it was
agreed that no new subjects should be
taken up for consideration in the meet
cept where absolutely necessary. the
purpose being to avert any possible
embarrassment to the incoming Ad-
ministratiOn. Several of the Cabinet
officials called on Mr.. Cleveland after
the meeting. They will make no formal
call upon Mr.. Mckinley until March
9TH. by which time the resignation of
all them already in writing will be in
his hands.
There were many callers at the White
House during the day, some being
persons who came to say farewell. and
more persons interested in legislation
now lying in the shape of bills on the
Presidents table awaiting his action.
OF course none of them saw Mr.. Cleve-
land, but Mr.. Thurber was kept busy
hearing them.
Mr.. Porter, the President-elect's Sec
retary, spent half an hour with Mr..
Thurber to-day, and was initiated into
some of the office methods. Mr.. Thur
Der will leave Washington Friday noon

On the right will be the ex-Vice- -Presi-
dent, the Associate Justices of the Su-
preme Court, e-President Hobart
and the Secretary and members of the
Senate. On the left will be the Diplo-

tions of the earth. Back of the Presi-
Dental party will be the retiring Cab
met officers, the Major the
Admiral and other distinguished peo-
pie.
1t will be interesting to note whether
Mr.. Mckinley takes the oath first and
gives his address afterward like all his
Republican predecessors, or initiate
President Cleveland and take the oath
last. The oath is short. being thus
worded: Il do solemnly swear that I
will faithfully execute the office of
President of the United States, and
will, to the best of my ability, preserve,
protect and defend the Constitution of
the United States" This is sworn to
upon a Bible.
Immediately after the taking of the
oath the party on the portico will break
up and President Mckinley and Grover
Cleveland will take their seats in the
carriage again on the return trip to the
come the gorgeous Inauguration pa
rade, led by General Porter and his
Chief of Staff, Colonel H C. Corbin of
the Adjutant- Generals office.
This parade, sweeping up the broad
expanse of Pennsylvania avenue, is the
really spectacular feature of the in
auguration proceedings, and to see it
pass people pay fabulous prices for
windows along the avenue, and occu
pants of dingy little upper rooms often
make enough in this one day to pay
their rent for months to come. The
Presidential party will be sandwiched
in between the Grand Marshal and his
aids, of whom there are several hun
dred, and a number of political clubs.
Then come the regular soldiers in their
full dress uniforms, and following them
the militia from the District of COlum-
bia and the States of the Union
The President that is and the Presi-
dent that was, riding at the head of
the column, will soon reach the White
House, where from a large reviewing
stand the two dignitaries will review
the procession. Before this is over
Mrs. Mckinley will have been greeted
at the White House by Mrs. Cleveland,
and by the time the clubs and organiza-
tions have begun to disband the Nc
Kinleys will be in full possession of
the Executive Mansion and the Cleve-
lands on their way to New Jersey.
The President and Mrs. Mckinley
will scarcely have time for a little rest
before it will be time to get ready for
the inauguration ball in the Pension
building. Here, late in the evening,
will be gathered upwards of 10000
people All the accessories and con-
comitants of a great ball will be found
there. including music by hundreds of
musicians, a wealth of flags and flow

committee of prominent residents of
Washington. There was, of course, the
informal demonstration by the public.
1t was one minute after II o'clock
when the train bearing the Mckinley
party rolled into the depot at Wash

The weather was cheerful with the
temperature, if anything, too high to

About a minute behind the schedule

came to a stop, and Governor Bushnell

Mrs. Mckinley also appeared to ad-
vantage. She was attired in a dark
trailing garb, and happiness beamed
from every lineament of her face. as
she came forth in the bright sunshine
on the opposite platform.
After snort greetings to friends who
stood near, the party formed a line and
started through the station. Messrs
Parker and Barrett, tall. robust men,
came just behind the police, who clear

the mass of the crowd down in the
culde-sac toward the Fourteenth
street entrance. Another body of police
emerged from the ladies' parlor and
formed a solid line of blue coats from
the ladies' entrance elevator fifty feet

crowd Colonel Britton, with the great
est care, escorted Mrs. Mckinley, Sr.,
mother of the Fresident-elect.
The remainder of the party took
their places in line just as they alight-
ed from the cars, the staff of the Gov
ernor of Ohio bringing up the rear. AS
he passed the head of the train, Major
Mckinley paused, and beckoned to one
of the party, who pore aloft a great
bouquet of cut flowers, and carefully Sc
lecting from it some white carnations
of wonderful size, handed them to the
engineer, grimly and perspiring in his
cab
There were ten carriages. In the first
sat President elect Mckinley, Mrs. Nc
Kinley, Chairman Bell, and Mr.. Porter.
AS the party drove off the people out

Guard of Ohio, who were to have form

At the Ebbitt House a crowd had
been gathering since early breakfast,
pre-empting doorways, carriage steps,
windows and other points of vantage.
The Presidential party arrived at the
hotel about 11:20 O'Clock, and by a
clever coup the President ELECT gained
entrance without inconvenience. All
the preparations indicated that the en-
trance would be made on the Four

was a guard of policemen at the door
and the corridors leading from that
point was kept clear. Women We're al
