President Mckinley, after delivering

room of the committee on military af-

were present.
After luncheon the president left the

The Grand Parade.
Washington, March 5.-Thc city of
Washington Monday surpassed itself
in the quantity and quality of it's
street tlccorai ions in honor of he sec
ond Inauguration of President Nc
kinley. No gala event in the city's
history has seen such fine and general
decoration. Along he line of march
from the foot of he capitol to the
point of dismissal at the upper end of
Pennsylvania avenue, there was
scarcely a house front HAT was not
almost hidden froim view by rcd, white
and blue bunting.
4 Patriotic Sight
The stands HAT had been erected
from which to view the parade were
more highly finished than on any pre-
rionS OCCASION. Being the work of the
inaugural committee, they were uni
form in character and their white
fronts and yellow facngs acted as a
foil t" the brilliant display of the ma
tionh culors on the house fronts
around them. The whole route of
parade was a gorgcousIy patriotic
sight.
Never has an inaugural parade passed
Oft with as little friction and with the
general picturesque effect that accom-
panied the great pageant that served
as President Mckinley and Vice Prcsi-
dent Roosevelt's escort to the white
house after they had taken the oath of
office under the shadow of the capitol.
The police arrangements throughout
were exceptionally effective. The in
anglral committee had provided a dur
able barrier of iron posts and wire
cable aong both sides of PENNSYLVANIA
avenue from the peace monument to
Seventeenth street and succeeded in
absolutely keeping clear the line of
march for The first time in The history
Of inaugural displays in Washington.
This bai.'rr was not broken through
at any point during he " io'r day and

tended formation. thereby adding to

Start from the Capitol.
The start was made from the capitol
about 2:15 o'clock and the last of the
civic organizations had passed the re-
viewing stand at the white house a
little before six o'clock. Considering
the weather conditions, the parade in
point of numbers closely Appropriated
the official forecast. The promptitude
with which it was handled by the gran
marshal was decidedly above the av-
erage for such an event.
