HIS 5[(OhD T[Rn
The Inauguration of President
William Mckinley
DURING A HEAVY DoWNPoUR OF RAIN
Crowd Of 10000 Persons Witnessed the Cere.
monies-oath Administered by the
Chief Justice.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-William
Mckinley second time is president
Of the United States. He was ushered
into that Office in city ablaze with
more and finer decorations than ever
have graced the holiday loving ma
tional capital, whose streets re-
sounded to the tread of more march
ing soldiers and sailors than ever
have participated in a like function,
and had as witnesses to the ceremon-
les a vast multitude, who cheered fire.
quently whenever he or his vice-pres-
idential colleague was visible.
There has been better weather on
inauguration days, and there has been
much worse than that which attended
today's ceremonies. The day in the
early forenoon gave promise of being
golden spring day, but the weather
was in capricious mood, and by noon
slow drizzle had begun, which lasted
with some intermissions and an oc-
casional lively downpour until late in
the afternoon. The worst of the wet
weather, unfortunately, came just at
the time that President Mckinley was
being inducted into office on the east
front of the capitol, in the presence
of crowd estimated to number
10000. But the air was mild and
pleasant, and the day ended with dry
weather.
Roosevelt Sworn In.
The brilliant and impressive scene
in the senate, when the vice-president-
elect was inducted into office, was re-
served for few hundred. The pub
lie had no part in it.
When the ceremony in the senate,
little tedious, despite it's brilliancy,
was over the floor and galleries
emptied into the corridors through
which the people jostled and squeezed
into the rotunda, and out on to the
platform erected from the east por-
tico of the capitol building.
1t was just 1 o'clock when the of
fetal party came through the main
doorway of the capitol. A deep hush
fell upon the mblage as the pres
ident and the chief justice advanced
to the center of the pavilion. The
president removed his hat, and then
hi -icrhf To- S-4N
stiffness family could be heard the
solemn words of the chief Justice and
the measured response of the presi-
dent taking the oath to maintain in
violate the constitution and laws of
the United States. He spoke in a
strong voice, easily heard by those
near the front of the stand. His face
looked very grave as the oath was
pronounced.
'He that handleth a matter wisely
shall find good; and who so trusteth
in the Lord, happy is he. The wise
in heart shall be called prudent; and
the sweetness of the lips increaseth
the learning
Kissing these verses of the XVI
Proverbs with bowed head, President
Mckinley, for the second time, passed
completely into the full honors of the
presidency of the United States. The
book had been opened at random by
Clerk Mckinney, of the supreme
court, who long has made it point
to note as matter of curious knowl-
edge the verse which chances to meet
the lips of incoming presidents.
