A furry of excitement was caused this
morning among those interested in the sue
cess of the inaugural parade by rumor
that because of no available funds with
which to pay their expenses the battalion
of midshipmen from the Naval Academy at
Annapolis would not be able to attend and
participate in the parade. Inquiry at the
Navy Department, however, disclosed the
fact that the students at the Academy will
attend the inaugural, and will pay their
own expenses, which are not great
1t was estimated by naval officer today
that the cost to each cadet would not be
over 81 for transportation. 1t was stated
authoritatfvely at the department that the
cadets have been ordered here, and that
they will come under the same conditions
as they attended the Mckinley inaugural,
that is. foot the bill themselves.

Special Musical Composition.
Mr.. Fanciull, former leader of the Ma
rine Band, has. composed an ode, entitled
Zone Flag and One Country" which he
will offer to the committee as part of the
r>f
monies. The work was done by the COM
poser especially for the occasion, and, with
the exception of a few rehearsals in pri-
vate, has never been sung. The words are
patriotic and laudatory of the President
not as an individual, but as the leader of
his country, and, as the title suggests, of
the flag, the emblem of the greatness of the
nation over which he presides. These sem
timents are embodied in the line with which
the composition is opened:
"All hail to our leader, the chief of our
nation
They are again expressed in chorus:
Zone flag and one country and freedom
forever" The words are by Mr.. Thomas
B. Crystal of New York.
The work has been submitted to Chair
man Foster of the committee on music.
