WASHINGTON, March All night
the two houses worked necessarily on
the appropriation bills. while corridors
and galleries seethed with sightseers.
At dawn the last of the appropriation
bills save the general deficiency had
passed the Senate stage and gone to the
President.
At o'clock the House took a recess
until $50 to give the statesmen an op-
portunity to improve their appearance.
At dawn throngs overran the Capitol
terraces and crowded into the House
wing fhe Senate wing being kept rig
orously closed and swept up to the
galleries to watch the dissolution Of
Congress.
AT 10 o'clock Chairman Cannon Of
the Appropria Committee reported
that after hours of struggling the con-
ferrees on the Indian appropriation bill
and the general deficiency bill had
been unable to agree upon every item.
1t was too late for another attempt to
adjust matters in conference. Can
non was willing to throw the whole
matter into the House and let the men,
bers themselves take the responsibility
of yielding or letting the bill fall.

Senators Sworn In by Vice-President
Hobart.

The proclamation of the outgoing
President calling an extra session OF
the Senate having been read, Vice
President Hobart requested the new
Senators to advance and take the oath
OF office. At the presiding officers sug-
gestion, Mr.. Morrill,, the patriarch Of
the Senate, was complimented with be-
ing the first sworn in. No exact order
was observed, the oath being given to
four Senators at one time. With fif-
teen new men We're twelve of the old
Senators sworn in for new terms.
While the oaths were being admins
tered Cleveland and Mckinley sat talk
ing in a low tone. 1t was clearly a
most agreeable exchange, for the old
and new Presidents smiled now and
then as they nodded acquiescence to
each other 1t was noted that Secre-
tary of State Olney and Secretary La
mont were not among the Cabinet Off
GERS present.
It was :00 D. m. when the last oath
had been administered and the formal
exit began, the Supreme Justices going
first, Mr. Cleveland, President McKin-
ley and the officials following Just be-
fcre the official party had withdrawn
Mrs. Mckinley and the mother of the
President were escorted from the gal
lery to the east front Of the Capitol,
where the oath of office was to be taken
by the new President. The occupants
of the public gallery were held in their
places for some time in order not to
block the procession of officials. Grad

INAUGURATION BIBLES.
One Upon Which Mckinley Was
Sworn rlade for the Occasion.

WASHINGTON. March 4.-The Bible
on which Mr.. Mckinley took the oath
Of office as President of the United
States is a handsome and costly book,
made especially for the occasion and
presented TO the new President by
Bishop Arnett of Wuberforce College,
a colored institution in the Buckeye
State. on behalf of the African Metho-
dist Episcopal Church.
The book on which he was sworn in
tc the highest office within the gift Of
the people was a matter of quite de-
cided sentiment with President Cleve-
land. Mr.. Cleveland asked the privilege
OF being sworn on a little red Bible,
which had been given to him by his
mother in boyhood when he first left
the family roof tree, and he took the
oath at the beginning of both his
Presidential terms on this boook, which
he treasures fondly. The custom, how
ever, has been for the United States
Supreme Court to furnish the Bible on
which the President takes the official
oath and this tradition has been car
r!ed out by the clerk of the court ever
since that tribunal was established ex-
cept on the two occasions when Presi-
dent Cleveland was installed in office

His Farewell Address to the Members
of the Senate.

Immediately after Mr.. Hobart had
taken the oath of office the retiring
Vice President, Adlai E. Stevenson, de-
hvered his valedictory address, speak
ing hoarsely. He said:
Senators: The hour has arrived
which marks the close of the fifty fourth
Congress, and terminates my official re-
lations to this body. Before laying down
the gavel for the last time, may be
pardoned for OBTAINING you for a mo-
ment in the attempt to give expression
to my gratitude for the uniform courtesy
extended me, for the many kindnesses
shown me, during the time it has been
my good fortune to preside over your
deliberations. My appreciation Of the
resolution of the Senate, personal to my
self. can find no expression in words.
Intentionally l have not given offense,
and I carry from this presence no shad-
ow of feeling of unkindness toward any
Senator-no memory of a grievance.
Chief among the favors political for
tune has bestowed upon me count that
of having been the associate-and hav-
ing konwn something of the friendship
Of the men whom have so long held Of
cial relations in this chamber To have
been the President of this august body
is an honor of which even the most H.
Iustrious citizen might be proud. I am
persuaded that no occupant of this chair
during the 120 years of our constitu-
tional history ever entered upon the dis
charge of the duties of this office more
thoroughly impressed with the sense of
RESPONSIBILITIES imposed or with a higher
appreciation of the character and dig
nifty Of the great executive assembly.

public good, and promote the pleasant

business.
Il trust our official and personal re-
lationS may be alike agreeable; that the
friendships we may form here may be
genuine and lasting, and that the work
of the Senate may rebound to the peace
and honor of the country and the pros

Opening Address to the Senate of
Garrett A. Hobart.

When Mr.. Stevenson ceased speak
ing Mr.. Hobart advanced to the pre-
siding chair and for the first time exer-
Cised his official functions by calling
the Senate to order. Hobart moved
aside for Chaplain Milburn, who, in an
impressive voice, delivered the first in
vocation of the new Senate AS the
Chaplain closed Vice-President Hobart,
speaking in strong, well-modulated
tones, delivered his Introductory ad-
dress:
Senators: To have been elected to
preside over the Senate of the United
States is a distinction which any citi-
zen would prize, and the manifestation
of confidence which it implies is an hon
or which l sincerely appreciate. My
gratitude and loyalty to the people of
the country, to whom I owe this high
honor, and my duty to you as well, de.
mand such a conservative, equitable
and conscientious construction and en-
forcement of your rules as shall promote
the wellbeing and prosperity of the
people, and at the same time conserve
the time-honored precedents and estab-
lished traditions which have contrib
uted to make this tribunal the most dis
tinguished Of the legislative bodies of
the world.
In entering upon the duties of the
office to which I have been chosen,
feel a peculiar deiicacy, for I
am aware your body, with
whom for time will be associated, has
had but small voice in the selection of
its Vice-President, and I am called upon

merit or fitness.

expedition of the business of the Senate,
and may be permitted to express the
belief that such expedition is the hope
of the country. All the interests of good
government and the advancement
toward a higher and better condition of
things call for prompt and positive leg
islation at your hands. To obstruct the
regular course of wise and prudent leg
islative action after the fullest and

with true Senatorial courtesy, conducive
TO the welfare of the people, nor in COM
pliance with their just expectations.

The first Inauguration of George
Washington in the Federal building in
New York on April 80, 1889, was de-
layed by the failure to provide a Bible.
Just as the arrival of Washington was
announced to Congress, Chancellor Liv-
lngston discovered that there was no
Bible in the building. He was Master
OF st. johns Lodge, No. l, of Free Ma
sons, and happened to remember that
there was Bible in the lodgeroom. A
messenger was quickly sent to bring
the book, and it is preserved to the
present day among the relics of the

the laws of score of states and

"ln time of peace prepare
for war is an excellent adage,
and one which the United
States evidently believed in
when the new navy was built.
We in Hawaii have especial
reason to be thankful that in
times of peace such a magni-
ficent specimen of marine ar
chitecture as the battleship
Oregon was made ready for
such emergencies as the pres
ent, and should take the lesson
to heart, not alone in national
affairs but in those of the
household. Suppose the Japa-
nese fleet should blockade Ho-
nolulu, for instance, we should
soon find ourselves run
ming short of lots of little
household necessaries other
than provisions.
This week we have one of
our windows filled with an as
sortment of articles necessary
in every kitchen. Buy them
today while you have a chance.
Among them may be enumer-
ated chopping bowls, all sizes
and shapes, egg beaters, lemon
squeezers, chopping knives in
several varieties, nutmeg
graters, gem ice shavers, but
ter moulds, fruit pickers, rolling
pins and bread boards.
Another useful novelty is
the family butter case which
just holds one roll; the butter
can be cut off as needed with
out moving it from the case.
See that your kitchen is
supplied with all these requi-
sites before the war breaks
