While the senate and house are in
early session, concluding their la

cort will pass down Pennsylvania
avenue from the white house to h
capitol, and thousands of people on
the sidewalks will witness this pre-
liminary parade. Meantime the priv
LEGGED few are thronging the gal
leries and crowding the corridors of
the senate. The members of the di.
plomatic corps, consisting of the rep
resentatives of all nations, many of
them in gorgeous costumes, are as
signed seats on the right-hand side
of the senate chamber, all of the SEN
| ators having massed themselves on
the left of the vice president. Seats
| are also assigned to the chief justice
and associate justices OF the supreme
| court: to the speaker and members
| of the house of representatives; to
| distinguished guests, and to all per
sons who are authorized to have the
privilege of the floor Of the senate,
either by reason Of past services OF
because they have received the
thanks of congress for some service
of merit. Shortly before noon by the
senate clock President Mckinley
leaves the presidents room and EN-
tiers the main door of the senate
chamber. The doorkeeper appears II
the main aisle, addresses the vic'
president pro TEN. and announces
''The president and pr~esident-elec
of the United States" President Nc
Kinley walks down the aisle ant
takes a seat directly in front OF tn
acting vice president. When the sen
ate clock points to noon Vice Presi
dent Roosevelt enters the chambe
and ascends the steps to the vic
presidents platform.

CROWDS OF sIGHTsEERs.
They Come from Everywhere to sat-
isfy Patriotic Curiosity.


Conservative estimates place the
number of people who will witness
the Inauguration of President Nc
Kinley and gaze upon the great inau-
gural parade at 100000. All Washing
ton will be on hand to lend cheers,
and 200, 900 visitors will yell them
selves hoarse. In short, Monday,
March 4, 1901, promises to be a real
red letter day in the history OF the
national capitol; for no inauguration
in the history of the republic has at
tracted so much popular attention as
that of the Ohio statesman who, at
noon of that day, will become the ex-
ecutive head of the nation for an
other term of four years. Compared
with the coronation exercises of Eu-
ropean monarchs, our Inauguration
ceremonies are a trife fiat.
Uncle Sam furnishes the dramatis
personae for the Inauguration show,
but when it comes to pay for the
staging, he is, to use a slang phrase,
mot in it." The expense, as has al
ready been stated, is borne by the
business men of Washington, who,
months prior to inauguration day,
raise a large guarantee fund to de-
fray the cost Of the grand pageant
on Pennsylvania avenue, relying fol
reimbursement on the thousands OF
visitors who usually remain in the
city for several days and spend mil
lions of dollars to satisfy their pa
triotic curiosity. AS the raising O
inauguration funds has never proved
a very difficult task, it is to be pre-
sumed that the merchants and hote
keepers realize a handsome profit OIL
their investment.

TAKING HIS SECOND OATH.
The Most Impressive and Dignfhed
Event Of the Day.

The Most impressive and Dignfhed
Event of the Day.
And then occurs the great event OF
the day. Clear out into the front, and
facing the vast multitude of loyal spec
tators, President William Mckinley
goes with the chief justice of the Unit
ed States, and there, in the presence
of the representatives of the American
people, receives the oath of his ex-
allied office. The oath having been adj
ministered, President Mckinley pro-
ceeds to deliver his inaugural address,
| and the United States of America has
an official head for another term of
four years. Simple as the ceremony
is, it thrills the thousands who witness
it, for they know that in no country
but ours is a change of administration
attended with less friction. While the
ceremony is, as has been said, extreme
~ simple, it has never failed to impress
foreigners, who have readily admitted
time and again. that in genuine i'm
p~ressiveness it surpasses the gorgeous
ceremonials Of royal and imperial cor
onations, because it enlists the sympa'
thy of the common people instead Of
pointing out social inequalities and
fostering class prejudices. "You have
no flow of wines" remarked a noted
foreigner, who witnessed the inau
guration of President Mckinley foul
years ago, but the milk of human
kindness pours, if I may use the ex
preston, from the hearts of your of
fcials and from the great hearts o
your people. Such simplicity is synon
ymous with loyalty, patriotism an
Christianity"

THE GREAT PARADE.
Most Potent Attraction of the Inaug-

urHthOn ScTe
70 the average visitor the grand
parade is the most potent attraction
of the Inauguration ceremonies. 1t
is estimated that 10000 men will
march down Pennsylvania avenue on
March 4. The commander of this
great procession has decided to start
the parade Immediately on the con
clusion of the inauguration ceremony
proper. The parade will be dismissed
at Washington circle, instead of the
white house, as formerly, and the
commander expects that the process
sion will be able to pass at the rate of
$4,000 an hour. Twenty-four files Of
foot will march in close column, and
there will be no change in formation
en- route. The first division will be
| divided into three brigades, the first
| composed of regular United States
troops and the national guard of the
| District of Columbia; the second OF
the national guard of Pennsylvania
and the third of the national guards
of other states, headed by their gov
ernors and their stats, their places il
line being assigned as follows: Del

is based on the date of the adoption 0
