WASHINGTON, March 5.-The capital
city never looked upon such perfect
parade as that which escorted Presi-
dent Mckinley from the capitol to the
white house and then passed in review
under his eye. The feature of the
splendid pageant was the perfect bal
ance between its contrasting parts and
the high order of skill that was shown
in the handling of the 10000 or more
men that stepped along or bestrode the
splendid steeds that danced and reared
their way in the parade.
There was no long-drawn-out mass
ing of uniformly attired regular troops
or militia, pleasing enough to the mill
tary eye, but wearisome to the specta-
tors who made up the vast crowd.
Nor was there any preponderance of
widely separated civic organizations,
whose identity was scarcely distin-
guishable through the presence or alb
sence of a high hat or different col
