EXCITEMENT IN NEW YORK.
wheat and Corn Sold at Record
Breaking Prices.

New York, Dec. 5.-Under the i'm
petus of fresh whirl of outside buy
ing orders that made both the wheat
and corn rings a scene of great excite
ment to-day new record prices were
established. Wheat sold at S5Ec for
May, or &c higher than IL was last
August, while corn passed any point
since 1892. For a time the buying or
ders seemed unlimited and the mar
kets continued in a bull uproar until
midday. when a lull in demand gave
holders a desire to take profits, causing
general reactions. In wheat the SELL
ing eventually destroyed the days ad-
vance, but corn withstood all pres
sure and left off 1G1Ac above the pre-
vious night. The markets are still
dominated by outside operations.

Inauguration of William McKinley's
Second Term as President of
the United States.
GRAND MILITARY AND CIVIC PARADE.


Washington, March 4.-William Nc
Kinley, of Ohio, to-day was inducted
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
second and consecutive term. Simul-
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 it's parade, al
ways credible in size and variety, and
usually having some distinctive fea-
ture. That whicn 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 it's predeces-
sors in the majestic predominance 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 a 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, and
1t was an easy prophesy to observe
that never again would they be able
to make as brave and numerous n
showing in their effort to escort a
president on the occasion of his ac-
cession to office. At their head, to
quicken their step, marched the
Rough Rider band, suggestive of the
extraordinary organization which
marked one of the most inspiring
chapters in the history of the volun-
teer armies of the United States.
