 The inaugural ceremonies proper for the first time will be conducted by joint committee of the Senate and House. the custom heretofore having been to leave the conduct of the inau- guration entirely in the hands of the upper body of congress. After the de- livery of his inaugural address the vice president will administer the oath of office to the senator's elect.
 At noon the oath of office will be ad- minstered to President Mckinley by Chief Justice Fuller in front of the main entrance to the capitol, where a stand for this purpose has been con- structed. The president then will de- liver his inaugural address. He will take his lunch at the capitol before heading the inaugural parade up Penn sylvania avenue to the executive man sion. General Francis " Greene will head the parade as the grand marshal. President Mckinley will follow, escort ed by Troop A of Ohio. The body of the parade Is divided into two grand divisions, military and civic, and will be notable pageant in many respects. A company of volunteer troops from Porto Rico will form a part of the first brigade and be an attractive feature of the parade, as will a large detachment of sailors and marines.
 The misunderstanding with the off, cials of the G. A. R. has not yet been settled. The demand that the veterans be given the front of the line as the guard of the president not being com piled with, the statement by General Sickles that the c, A. R. would not take part in the ceremonies seems final at this time.
 The grand inaugural ball, which will be held in the great court of the pen sion building, will be the social feature of the occasion.

It is however, that he may remain in office until about April 1.
