Mk|NLEY AND ROOSEVELT.
Inauguration of William McKinley's
Second Term as President Of
the United States.
GRAND MILITARY AND CIVIC PARADE.
Inaugural Addresses, Delivered by Presi-
dent Mckinley at the East Portico OF
the Capitol and by Vice President Roose'
welt In the Senate Chamber. ON Taking
the Oath of ONCE.

Washington, March 4.-William Nc
Kinley, of Ohio, to-day was indicted
into the presidential office, being the
eighth in the illustrious line OF pres
idents of the United States thus hon.
ored by the American people with o
second and consecutive term. Stimuli
taneously, Theodore Roosevelt, OF
New York, became vice-president OF
the United States. The ceremony that
marked this second assumption by
President Mckinley of the cares OF
state was most impressive and full OF
suggestion Of the development OF the
republic during the past four years.
Every presidential Inauguration in
recent years has had its parade, al
ways credible in size and variety, ana
usually having some distinctive fea-
ture. That which followed President
Mckinley to-day on his return from
the capitol to the White House, and
passed in review there before him,
was different from all its predeces-
sors in the majestic predomnance OF
the military feature. The civil con-
tingent was quite up to the average
in point Of numbers; yet by actual
count, made by the marshals, the
men in soldiery uniforms outnum-
bered the civilians in the line by more
than three to one. In the serried
ranks of blue were many soldiers who
had carried the country's flag far out
into the world, and had waged war
which was all in the future when
the last inaugural procession marched
along Pennsylvania avenue.
With these younger veterans, and in
the place of honor, as the presidents
escort, marched another contingent
made up entirely Of soldiers Of the
civil war, all gray-haired and show
ing in gait and bent forms marks of
the passage of years and of the linger-
ing effects Of the great battles and
campaigns in the most stupendous
struggle that the world has seen.
