Senator Hanna does not look like his
cartoons He is a big heavy looking
fellow with kind, inscrutable sort of
a face; power shows in every line and
fold, but he looks kindly and big
hearted. The crowd were very curious
about him and craned their necks to
see what he might be like. His name
was frequently heard amid the general
acclaim, but his face remained impaS-
sive the senator refusing to receive
any portion of the acclaim that was
the presidents due.

The Last Moments of McKinley's First

Upon The arrival at the capitol the

signed his bills until the hour of noon,

The Impressive Ceremony of the Presi-
dental Oath of Office.
With the plaudits OF thousands of
his fel1ow-countrymen ringing in his
ears, William Mckinley. of Ohio. took
the oath of office a second time as
president of the United States. Before
him was a solid benk of humanity that
spread across the broad plaza and over
flowed the broad parks, stretched down
the streets and across the plaza to the
Congressional Library building. The
scene was impressive. A mighty throng
Of other spectators was upon the stands
that extended from end to end of the
capitol building. Every nook and
creyice on the structure itself that
coul afford foothold was crowded,
the balustrades encirc1ing the roofs,
and the pathways around the mighty
dome even up to the staff from which
waved the presidential flag. Then
when the president had formally passed
from one administration of years to
the threshold of another, he delivered
his second inaugural address.
1t Was Not Ell Paso Weather.
By the time President Mckinley ar
rived the rain was coming down in tor
rents, and it continued Ill after his ad-
dress was completed. 1t drenched the
fine costumes of the ladies whe had
ventured out. ruined the white plumeS of
the diplomats. and turned the we'll
dressed official company upon the CEN
ter stand in a short half hour into a
most bedraggled looking crowd A few
only secured protection. Senator Hoar,
aged and dignified, cuddled under an
umbrella which his colleague. Senator
Lodge, held over him. Lieutenant
General Miles. as wise as the proverbial
philosopher, who always carries an UNI
brella, drew from a capacious pocket a
rubber covering Tor his splendid cap
and thus covered by a thick military
cloak. escaped the ravages OF the ele-
ments.
The diplomatic corps had just taken
their seats adjoining the presidents
stand when the rain and hail began to
pour down. Dignity and courtliness
were thrown to the winds as they
scrambled for protection on the lee side
Of the towering roof. Baron Fava,
whose thin features and snow white
locks bespeak his delicate health, ven
tured under the roof over the presi-
dents stand. whence one of the officials
attempted to eject him. But the am

Cheering the Wrong Men.
There was quite delay in the arrival
of the distinguished guests from the
senate chamber and the monotony of
waiting was broken by an occasional
episode among the expanse of people.
There were long benches of cameras,

the ear as the president talked of the
causes that led to the war with Spain
and the subsequent hostilities in the
Philippines. Altar OF on the streets
that led to the capitol there were con-
tinuous glimpses of the marching mill
tary companies on their way to po-
sitions in the grand pageant Once the
cadets from the naval academy at An
napolis, a fine collection of boys who
marched with military precision and
extended almost across the reservation
between the capitol and the library
building, came up the roadway and de-
p1oyed to the south on B street.
Cheered Epigrammatic Sentences.
AS the president continued he was
more emphatic, and his eloquent cpl
grammatic sentences brought cheer on
cheer from the auditors in front and at
the rear. When he asserted that our
declaration regarding the independence
of Cuba must be made good, he brought
up both his arms, leaned forward over
the stand, and with decisive gestures
displayed his strong ideas touching
that vexed situation. The delivery of
the address occupied little less than
half an hour, and concluded in a grand
shout of approval. Then at AS, when
the last words had been spoken and
Vice President Roosevelt and members
of the cabinet fastened forward to of
fer congratulations, the presidential
party marched back to the capitol bull

FROM THE CAPITOL TO THE

Although it was gallant and gor-

toll. it was but a small part of the
splendid pageant that returned with
him from the capitol to the white
house. When a new president is going
in and an old one is going out. the pro-
cession to the capitol is greeted with
applause mixed with some sympathy
for the man on his way down from the
highest place in the nations honors.
The president and the president elect

The Color of ti.s Parade.
The wide avenue stretching a mile OF
uninterrupted length from the capitol
to the treasury was like a gay ribbon
for color and not an inch of the way
that was not filled with music. At one
moment there would be blocks and
blocks of moving scarlet as the artil-
lerymen in their scarlet capes went by
then the color would change to the
bright yellow as hundreds of cavalry
men trotted in view, more artillerymen
would flash scarlet patches wherever
the eye could see and then a small
mass of penetrating green announced
that the hospital fellows were in the
line. The dragons looked like picture
book soldiers in their great orange
plumes and when the Pennsylvania
militia went by it seemed as though
the gray blue would never reel off the
spool. The West Pointers in their gray
uniforms with white belts and stripes
were as Immediately gowned as SO

the Annapolis boys in dark blue and
gold. There were Rough Rider clubs

greeted with immense applause: but
when the one armed old general put
the reins of his horse in his teeth ana
raised his hat to acknowledge the ap-

the hundreds clicked and snapped. An

men in her vicinity.
Some congressional Stragglers were
the first to arrive and select choice
places among the placarded chairs.
There were one or two false alarms
about the arrival of President McKin-
ley. Representative Mcclellan, of New
York. plump and smooth faced. son of
the famous civil war general, came Sc
dately down the steps from the rotunda
and mighty shout went up. Tt quick
ly died away in disappointment. The
same incident enlivened the arrival of
Representative Fowler, of New Jersey
who at some distance mught be taken
by strangers for the president. Most
of the statesmen on the central stand
were adorned with tall silk hats, style
of garb that suffered severely in the
general downpour. In the group of ar
irving senators, Mr.. Fairbanks, of In

his colleagues in silk tile that made

1here was considerable conversation

away. as all were eager to listen. The
applause was very earnest when the
president touched on the disappearance
of sectionalism: declared that the old
difference less and less disturbed the
judgment. His utterances regarding

gestures of the right hand. likewise
