Washington. March 4.-President Nc
Kinley at 1:17 was sworn in to sue

United States on a handsomely deco
capitol, in the presence Of a surging
multitude. A dense throng filled all
the winding walks, broad avenues and
streets. overlooking In thousands into
the sweep Of the lawn, and even seek
ing treetops for points of vantage.
There were quite as many women in
the throng as men. II IS estimated
assemblage, but despite the crush. no
word came of any accident to mar the
festivities.
Just before o'clock a dr1zzling
sleet, with hail, began to fall and over
the sea of heads went up countless UNI
brellas. 1t was just o'clock when tina
official party came through the main
strained toward the distinguished
groups as they appeared. Usually the
president comes among the FIRST, but
today there was an entire change. IN
stead OF having the president wait until
all officials were In place the presi-
dental party did not appear until all
invited guests had assembled, and

lister the oath. By this time the hail
had turned into q steady drizzling
rain. making officials and ambassadors
shift uneasily under the downpour.
When the special guests had been ush-
cred to seats there was a momentary
lull, and an awe-like silence fell upon
the great concourse as 1t strained to
catch the first glimpse of the president.
:. In the intense stiffness family could
be heard the solemn words Of the chief
Justice. and the measured response Ut
the president taking the oath to main
tain inviolate the constitution of the
United States. Then he turned. again
to the people and began his inaugural
address.
AS president spoke the pent-un
clouds gave out their full force and
pelting rain came down In sheets.
throwing watery veil over the drip
ping multitude. Under his pavilion
the president was well protected. and
there was no faltering in his address
as the downpour continued. AS he
raised his voice in a resounding phrase,
for free Cuba" there was a mighty
shout of approval and frequently he
paused to allow some well-turned SEN
tence to receive its tribute Of popular
approval.
When the president closed his adj
dress the vice president and many SEN
ators grasped his hand in congratula-
ton. Then he returped to the capitol,
proceeding to the senate wing, where
lunch had been spread in the commit
tee room Of the committee on military
affairs. Here the president was Joined
by the vice president. the inaugural
committee. distinguished officers Of the
army and navy. and number Of SEN
ators and other invited guests.
Half an hour was spent in taking
refreshments. then the president was
escorted back to his carriage to join
in the parade to the white house.
The vice president with an escort Of
the inaugural committee, followed the
president in the parade. At 2:35 the
presidential party swung into Pennsyl-
vania avenue at the peace monument.
The rain had ceased.

Ing the Week.
WEDNESDAYS PROCEEDINGS.
Pierre, S. D., March 7.-Apportion-
ment representation in the legislature
caused hot words in the senate yester-
day afternoon. The senate bill pre-
pared by Lawson of Brown county was
under discussion in committee of the
whole when Senator Martin of Miner
county, populist, made some sarcastic
criticisms Of the alleged injustice of
the measure. This drew fire from Law
son and Martin returned with the as
sertion that Lawson had bartered rep
resentation for votes enough to pass
his appropriation for the Aberdeen
normal school. Later Martin apollo
gized to the senate for mentioning the
matter. His fight had the desired re-
suit, for his county was given addi-
then passed after attaching Hanson to
Hutchinson county and giving Charles
Mix and Gregory three representatives.
The senate apportionnlent was made
up in the interest of the combination
which passed the special appropria-
tons and saved the capital to Pierre.
The house also pas: ID an apportion-
ment bill differing greatly from the
senate BILL. 1t was made up by the
body. The house and senate are likely
to get into a deadlock over the appor-
tipnment question and no apportion-
inent bill may pass as a result.
Would Reduce Membership.
The house passed the bill introduced
by Gross, populist to reduce the board
of charities to three members and put
them on salary of $1,000 per year
each, and defeated the bill to pay Jo-
seph B. McCloud for rations and forage
furnished troops during the Indian up
rising of 1891.
The bill appropriating $4,000 for the
Gary school building passed, also
a fuel deficiency ioT the Madison nor
NAL of $780, The senate passed the
Springfield normal bill the first thing in
the morning, also a building deficiency
for $1,68S for the Spearfish normal.
Other bills were passed as follows:
Giving foreign executors the same
rights in South Dakota as are enjoyed
by citizens; $1,000 fuel deficiency for
Bookings college; permitting firearms
to be sold to Indians; organizing the
militia; reducing penalties for trespass
on school lands; changing the time for
electing circuit and supreme judges;
for the protection of innkeepers.
The liquor license bill was passed in
both houses. striking out the feature
permitting sales for medical purposes.
There is rumor in circulation that
the Boxer caucus in the house will pa IS
resolutions before adjournment de-
nouncing the republican state machine
and indorsing candidate for United

on a spot hallowed by history and
in the presence Of a brilliant and dis,
tinguished assemblage, Theodore
Roosevelt of New York, was today in
Quoted into Office as vice president Of
the United States. The solemn oath
was administered by Senator VIM. P.
Frye Of Maine. president protempore
Of the United states senate. The cere-
mony was thoroughly democratic, yet
in Its very simplicity was profoundly
Impressive.
Without decorations ofsany kind, not
even the stars and stripes being dis
played officially, as the last words Of
the oath Of office fell : from
his lips the senator from Maine and
clasped hands, the galleries were
splashed with national colors many
silken flags fiuttering breezily among
hundreds Of handkerchiefs.
Uuon the floor Of the chamber was
the president. senator's, representa-
tives. members of the supreme court,
governors OF many states, members Of
the diplomatic corps, army and navy
officers and men distinguished in all
walks OF life. The galleries presented
a spectacle of marvellous beauty, hun
dreds of brilliantly attired women. gay
in handsome toilets, lending color to
the scene. AS the vice president
dropped the hand Of Senator Frye, he
glanced upward at his wife, seated in
the executive gallery. She was the
first person Of whom he thought in
this momentous hour, and to- her he
looked for inspiration.
An instant later this vigorous Amer
lean faced the United States senate for
the first time as its presiding sofficer.
Not q, flaw In the induction Of the vice
president into otilce was noticeable.
The whole was perfectly planned and
beautifully executed.
Roosevelt's inaugural address was
listened to with utmost attention. The
proclamation of the president calling
the senate into extraordinary session
was then read by the clerk.
At the conclusion OF the reading
proclamation Of the vice president re-
quested new senators to present them
selves at the desk to take the oath OF
office. The clerk called the names Of
senator's In groups of four. and as they
advanced to the left Of the vice presi-
dents desk to take the oath they were
greeted with cordial applause from the
galleries. At the conclusion OF the cere-
mony incident to the swearing In Coll
onef Ransdell conducted President Me-
Kihley, who followed the sergeant at
arms, on the arm of Chief Justice Full
Ter, " the presidents room, where with
the inaugural committee he was to
await the seating OF guests on the
platform At the east front Of the cap-
itcl before he appeared there to re-
ceive the oafh of office and deliver his
inaugural address. BY direction Of the
Vice president those entitled to the.

u
ICAL SITUATION.
In another column we publish
quite lengthy letter from Mr.. D.
II. Gill, late clerk of the Superior
court OF Vance county. The eau.
CAsIAN Is glad to give the use Of its
columns, a. far as 1t can spare tn.
space, to subscribers who desire t.
express their views upon public
questions, and will be glad to r..
ceive communications along this
line for publication. We would re-
que-t, however, those who inteno
writing letters to make them shorter
than Is the one in the present issue.
Many readers # the CAUCASIAN
will, no doubt, in the main, agree
with Mr.. Gill, while others, in some
respects, will disagree with him.
Mr.. Gill very pertinently calls at
tention to the fact that the great in
crease In the output Of gold has
proven the contention of the Peo-
pies party that 1t makes no matter
what money Is made of provided
the quantity Is sufficient. Every
one now admits that our present
prosperity IL due to the increased
output Of gold, and, therefore, the
increased, amount of money.
Mr.. Gill might have also called |
attention to the fact that nearly
svery other plank in the PEOPLES |
