An Impressive Scene.
Other friends of the yice-president
entered the house within few min
utes, and at 3:3j Mr.. Wilcoxcame out
on the lawn and stated TO the press
representatives that it was the desire
of the president that they be admit
ted to the house to witness the cere-
mony. A score or more of newspaper
men, representing the principal papers
of the country. walked noiselessly
into the dusky library of the cd
home, where. with bowed heads, stood
the members Of the cabinet and those
who had been asked to be present.
The room was Gs silent as the house
of death itself.
The president stood on the south
side Of the room with his back to a
small window, and the members Of
the cabinet and the gentleman pres
ent stood in a circle facing him. For
some time Mr.. Roosevelt talked in
whispers with Secretary Root. his arm
over the secrctary's shoulder. Then
Secretary Root stepped back a few
PAGES and the president stood motion
less by the side of Judge Hazel. There
was a dead silence of several seconds
and then Secretary Root said:
Mr.. Vice-President"-a after a
long pause-"I have been requested
by all of the members of the cabi-
net of the late President Mckinley
who are present in the city of Buffalo,
being all except two. to request tina;

ministration of the government, you
shall proceed without delay to take
the constitutional oath of Office as

and so still was the room that had his
words been uttered in whispers they
might easily have been heard by ev-
SAy oht Pits'ui.
The Presidents Oath.
President Rooscvclt's face was stern
and rigid. Lifting his eyes, he looked
steadfastly into the face OF the secre-
tary for moment. and in a voice
marked with iirmness and all OF his
Characteristic distinctncss. replied:

RARE BRIGHTNESS
OF FLYING METE0RS.
Astronomer Larkin Describes Re.
suits of His Observations
at Mount Lowe.

Los Angeles. Cal. Nov. l6.-The following
description Of the shower of leonids as
seen from Mount Lowe is furnished by
Edgar L. Larkin. director of the Mount
Lowe Observatory:
1.-The first meteor was seen at 1l:o5
o'clock and during the five minutes to
midnight four were seen. and 653 from
midnight to $40 o'clock Friday morning.
"They all seemed to emerge from within
the cycle OF the zodiacal constellation Leo.
None were actually seen to come out OK
1t, but their bright tracks prolonged back
ward would converge there.
Many were of great brilliancy-many
times brighter than Venus. They were all
white but thirteen, which were tinged with
red. and two. which ware quite red. About
half of them left long. luminous streaks.
which remained from half minute to the
usual length of twenty-four minutes.
Meteor No. 229 was, perhaps, the bright
est that passed the zenith. 1t was remark
able in brilllancy, and width of trail. Its
solid portions were dissipated with cosmio
dust by friction against the air. and. there
fore, did not explode
1.-The meteor vanished into the trail midway
beween orion and Taurus. The disruption
Of the glowing stream was at the star p
Oronis. Tho detached mass moved to Aide
baran, eight degrees. where it became faint
and disappeared in the briliancy OF that
first magnitude"

GRAFTON OF resolution, introduced by a

1t WAS bitterly opposed by six members
including /. d. Chamberlain OF Colorado
and was referred 10 Committee on Legis-
lstion. who reported 1t back unchanged.
when II was adopted by an almost unan-
inous vote The resolution is as follows:
Resolved. That the development Of an
American merchant marine Is greatly de-
sired; that We believe American freights
ought to be carried In American bottoms,
built in American ship yards. by American
mechanics, at wages commensurate with the
American standard OF living.
Resolved. That the present bill pending
In the United States Senate, known as the
Frye-Hanna-Payne subsidy bill, Is not
drawn in the interests Of the American ship
yards. nor American laboring people, and.
therefore, the Knights OF Labor oppose Its
enactment. believing that some measure
can be. and should be. presented that will
encourage the building of ships by Amer
lean workmen. and manned By American
