of the inaugural Committees.

Although not officially announced, it is
generally believed that Senator Hanna
will ride in the carriage with President
Mckinley from the White House to the
Capitol on Inauguration Day. This much
mooted question was under discussion
during conference between the Presi-
dents Secretary. Mr.. Cortelyou, and Dan
iel NJ. Ransdell, Sergeant at-Arms of the
Senate.
Secretary Cortelyou was seen by a
Times reporter after the conference. He
stated:
I'VE have not finally determined the ar
rangements for the drive to the Capitol.
Mr.. Ransdell and myself will consider the
question again on Monday or Tuesday and
will then complete the arrangements. We
have agreed to recognize both the House
and the Senate in escorting the President
and the Vice President. This probably
means that Senator Hanna will accom-
pany the President in his carriage to-
gether with member of the House. We
are not yet prepared to make a final an
nouncement of the arrangements, but will
do SO as soon as we have settled all of the
details"
