Ceremonies at Capitol.
The House yesterday afternoon, just be-
fore adjournment, passed the resolution
providing for the inaugural ceremonies at
the Capitol. 1t was amended so as to pro-
vide that the ceremonies should be con-
Quoted by a joint committee of the House
and Senate, instead of a Senate commit
tee.
Mr.. Hepburn thought that the House
should take no part in the Inauguration OF
the Vice President in the Senate chamber
I'VE are invited there and find no pro-
vision for u.s. said Mr.. Hepburn. Time
and again members of the House have gone
there, two and three hundred strong, and
found that fifty sixty could be seated.
hundred more could be permitted to stand
up in the corners of the chamber and the
balance of them wait in the corridors until
the Vice President was inaugurated, and 1t
was time to begin the ceremonies of the
Inauguration of the President"
Mr.. Bingham asked if it was wise to COM
pletely ignore an attendance upon the m
stallation of the Vice President.
Il say so, absolutely, upon the part OF
this House." replied Mr. Hepburn. 1t is
none Of our business to be there while they
inaugurate their President"
Mr.. Bingham and Mr.. -Hemenway took
issue with Mr. Hepburn.
why should this House say that We will
not participate in the inauguration cere-
monies of Vice PRESIDENT" asked Mr..
Hemenway. I'VE all know the Vice Presi-
dent is more than presiding officer of the
Senate. He may become the President OF
the United States. He was elected by the
Representatives ought not to say that 1t
will not take part in the inauguration of a
Vice President of the United States, and
do something that no Congress ever did IN
the history of the United States. Now,
simply vote down this amendment and we
will take part in the inauguration OF the
Vice President. In order to leave the words
in this amendment which is now proposed
ought to be voted down, and l hope the
House will vote 1t down.
The House did vote the amendment down,
thereby deciding to take part in the SEN
ate proceedings The resolution was adopt
ed, also a concurrent resolution providing
for the appointment of joint committee
to have charge of the ceremonies.
