INAUGURAL FIREWORKS.
Search Lights Were Placed on the
Biggest Buildings

Washington, March 5.-The fireworks
which closed the festivities at night
were a fitting close for a remarkable
days festival
Besides the pyrotechnics at the base
of the Washington monument, half a
dozen of the biggest buildings had
mounted searchlishts, all of which bore
on the Washington monument and
brought the great white shaft out in
startling relief against the black sky
The treasury department was decked
in incandescent globes encircling
each Of the great pediments. and on the
south front was mounted q Searchight
that bore alternately on the Washing
ton monument and on the capitol at the
western end of Pennsylvania avenue, a
mile away.
On the state, war and navy buildings
there was an immense American nag
floating spIendidIy in the stiff northwest
breeze On this there was search
light trained almost constantly The
fire works proper at the foot of the
monument were remarkably fine Be
side the regulation bombs. rockets and
showers of colored stars from aerial
mines there were some distinct novel
ties IN the line OF parachute fireworks
that hoated burning through the air
ike chains OF vari-coIOred stars.
There were none of the conventional
set pieces. but the most unique and
elaborate contrivance was a great bal
loon from which. when II reached a
certain height unfurIed an American
flag. wrought in coIored lights that
burned fer several minutes before dis

DIR. YANCEY MAY NOT COME.
The II z & T Said to Have Increas-

The following dispatch from Seda1ia
throws some doubt upon DR.. Yancey
succeeding DR.. Hogeboom as chief sur

Yancey, at the earnest solicitation of
the officials of the NJ. & & T. railway.
has Withdrawn his resignation as chief
surgeon of the system and will not ac-
cept the hattering offer of the Santa
F'e. This action was brought about by
a promised increase of salary that
made the Santa F'e offer a small fnan-
cial inducement-"
People who claim to know say that
this means the appointment of DR.. L
H Mum of Topeka as chief surgeon
of the Santa Fe- Dr. Mum still re-
fuses to discuss the matter or 70 say
whether or not he would -ccept the
position It is known that Dr. Mum
is a close personal friend of General
Manager Frey. and he IS also one of
the prominent physicians in Topeka
who has had experience as q railroad
surgeon
1t is also rumored that DR.. Hoge-
boom may be reinstated, but this is

No official information concerning the

President Ripley, and il will probably
be at least ten days before he returns

correspondence between Nj Frey and
