It is reported in Atlanta that the
Seaboard Air Line has purchased the
New Orleans and Northwestern rail-
road, running from the Crescent City

is no official confirmation of the story
it is generally credited in railroad cir
Giles that the Seaboard has just bought
some railroad, but the name of the
property purchased has not been given
out. The Seaboard has been trying
for some time to secure that property.

Washington, March 4-Hon. William
Mckinley of Ohio, was today indicted
into the presidential Office, being eie th
in the illustrious line of presidents OF
the United States thus honored by the
American people with second term
simultaneously Hon. Theodore Roose
ve1t Of New York becomes vice presi-
dent. The ceremony was impressive
and full of suggestion of the develop
ment of the republic during the next
four years.
The parade that followed President
Mckinley on his return from the capitol
to the white house and passed in review
before him was different from all prede-
oessors in the majestic predominancs
OF the military feature. The civil
contingent was quite up to the average
IN numbers, yet by actual count made by
the marshals The soldiers eutnumbered
the civilians in line by more than three
to one.
With these young veterans and in the
place of honor as the presidents escort
m arched another contingent made up
entirely of soldiers of the ciyil war. At
their head marched the Rough Rider
band.
Fer the first time in quarter of a
century the president rode from the
white house to the capitol without a
successor beside him in the carriage
General Grant was the last president of
the United States up to this time to
occupy a similar position. Mr.. McKin-
ley had for his companions In the
carriage members of the committee
specially chosen by congress to take
charge of the Inauguration, headed by
Senator Hanna.
The nations of the world, great and
small, paid tribute to the president in
attendance at the ceremonies at the
capitol and in reviewing the great pa,
rade. The navy was represented 10 the
ceremonies more numerously than ever
before. Half dozen warahips, more
than have assembled in the Potomac
since the civil war, contributed, thro rough
heir sailors and marines, one Of the
most unique and enjoyable features of
the ceremony, marching oyer 1000
strong.
Sixteen states of the Unlon-north,
east, south and west-were represented
by their governors, most of them accom-
panied by numerous stsffs.
Along the line Of march from the foot
Of the capitol to the point OF dismissal
at the upper end Of Pennsylvania

and navy department buildings, for
almost quarter of mile, magnificent
stretch of asphaltcran straight as an
arrow due east and west. The big
roadway was paralleled by strong side
walks almost half as wide again, shaded
by magnificent trees, whose planting
antedates the civil war. Equally by the
treasury building and the executive
mansion, half hidden, but cleaning
snow white through the surrounding
trees. and the state, war, and navy
building.
Along each side, from end to end,
were erected continuous line OF cover.
ed stands with terraces of seats rising
30 feet above the level of the roadway
and transforming the court into a great
amphithester, through which the pro-
csssion moved.
The roadway was hanked on each side
with row OF columns. Eight massive
pilons, four on each side. marked off the
court in equal lengths. These were
copies of decorations of the Alexandrisn
bridge at Paris. The adjacent govsrn-
msnt building was ablaze with national
co1ors, except the executive mansion,
over whose white expsnse doated only
the usual flag at full mast. The course
of the parade, outside the court of
honor, was practically through a solid
line of red, white, and blue. At no
previous Inauguration has there been
such display of national colors to the
exclusion Of every other. Soon after
the nine big stands along the line of
march began to flll up.
Further down town, however, the
GROSS streets abutting on Pennsylyania
avenue formed a vantage point for
spsculators in small temporary stands
Of their own construction. Everything
from soap boxes, to -four barrels, were
brought into requistion and standing
room on these frail structures was soon
at a premium something like SOC. per

negro teamsters evidently had borne in
mind the possibilities contained 10 the
side streets for some time past and eall ly
in the morning score of wagons ap
peared. Plicos Of window seats in the
houses and stores along the line of
march reached almost a fabulous rate

that one wealthy senator paid $50 Tor
single room for the day in a hotel near
Pennsylvania avenue and Fifteenth
street, while the ordinary second story
windows we're regularly. held from $s5
to $50.
The white house was astir early this
morning. Although messengers from
the capitol kept the president supplied
with bills for consideration until 1ate In
the night, it was fully an hour earlier
than usual when breakfast was served.
Up TO 10 o'clock the admiral Of the navy
was the only caller. The president
saw him and their conference was quite
brief.

carriages were Admiral Dewey and

form. Immediately behind the Ohio
qaadron came the carriage of Presi.
dent Mckinley. The progress of the
carriage was marked by a continuous
roar of applsuse, the men, cheering and
the Omen waving handkerchiefs and
slapping their hands as magnificent
equlpage came down the avenue. The
president was in high spiri's and bow
ed from right to left TO the cheering
crowds. Senator Hanna attracted
much atteOtion as he sat beside the
president. A great shout welt up rs
the gray uniforms of the West Point
cadets came in sight. In their foo.-
steps came the middies from Annapolis
and their discipline was suburb. Now
came one Of the most notable and i'm
pressivs features..of the whole ceremo-
niss. Like veterans at the word OF com.
mand the Porto Rioan battalion swung

resting on Pennsylvania avenue, near
Eleventh street, and as the Eleventh
artillery passed them they wheeled
with beautiful precision to their place
without causing a seconds delay in the
marching line
