END OF THE SENATE.
The Next Will Take Up Its Duties
 Tomorrow.

Washington, March 4.-The senate convened at 10 o'clock today in contin- uation of yesterdays session and Mir. Allison then made his annual state ment concerning the appropriations made during the session. He said that while accurate figures could not be given, the approximate amount ap- propriated this session was $S1S,000.- OO0 against $7S1. 100000 last year. The estimated revenues for next year were S726, ,00O, 900. MT. Allison expressed 'an opinion that the deficit for fiscal year beginning next July will be no greater than that for the year which will end on that date. For some time there after the business consisted in receiv- ing messages from the house and in the announcement by the presiding of ficer of his signature to bills.
 About II o'clock the members of President Roosevelt's household and friends and lxinsfolks he had invited to be of his family party to witness the inaugural ceremonies at the Capitol arrived and were shown to the seats reserved for them. Soon afterward the members of Senator Fairbanks party arrived.
 Immediately after Senator Fair banks had entered the chamber and
 
 elect he took his seat at the right of President Pro Tempore Frye, who ad- ministered the oath to him, following up the ceremony by his own address to the senate, returning thanks for their resolution. He closed his re- marks with a formal announcement that the senate was adjourned sine die.
 Following sharply on the prayer came the ceremony of swearing in the new senators and those of the old who had been reelected. When the last of the senators had taken their seats after being sworn, the vice president directed the sergeant at arms to 'ex- ecute the order of the senate for the inauguration of the president and inn mediately afterwards, at 12: 30 p. m. senators and visitors began to file out of the chamber and make their way to the outside platform.
 The senators returned to their chamber at the conclusion of the in- augural ceremony, and at 1925 p. m. adjourned until Monday.

Washington. March 4.-President Roosevelt took the oath of office before q vast gathering of the people he has been elected to serve. The attendant scenes were not unusual. Inausura- tions from the time the eaat front Of the capitol first became the setting for the ceremony have been much the same. Many of the central figures have oficiated in like capacity on other occasions when presidents have ac- ceded to the highest office in the gift of the American people. Chief Justice Fuller. in administering the oath, re- peated a solemn function he has per
 formed four times-today his last. Yet with all this repitition, nothing was jaded and everything appeared new.

It affords me the same degrec of pleasure to know that you are pleased to say or that you were pleased to applaud the gentleman from Missouri when he said that in whatever measure 1 might have succeeded or failed tried to do my work and had succeed ed thus far, at any rate, in indulging in no sort of enmity, no sort of ami mostly and no sort of malice"
 It was exactly ten minutes to 12 o'clock when in response to a sugges- ton from MT. Williams, Speaker Can non surrendered the gavel to James D. Richardson of Tennessee during the reading of the customary resolution of thanks to the speaker of the house. The resolution was adopted with a rousing cheer. The speaker then re- stunned his seat and bade farewell to the members in a brief and affecting speech.
 The committee appointed to wait on the president reported that they had performed that duty and the president had no further communication to make and then, on the motion of MT. Payne, the house, at 11:55 a. m. adjourned sine die.

AN AWFUL CARNAGE.
The Fighting Below Mukden of the

 Coming to a Head
It is Already Well Settled that the Russians Must Leave Mukden and According to an Early Plan of Kuropat- kin Make Decisive Stand at Tie Pass. The Esti- mated Casualties Along the Whole Line 7oooo.

St. Petersburg. March 1.-Two lengthy dispatches were received from General Kuropatkin respectively dated March ?, and March 3, detailing the movements of troops in various direc- tions. The dispatch of March said: "The enemy today adopted vigorous offensive tactics, conducting a turning movement on the right flank before the villages of Sakhotun and Linziatun. After a strong preparatory cannonade they attacked, but were repulsed with great loss.
 'The Japanese vigorously attacked our Gaotu pass position and took one of our entrenchments from which they were dislodged by our counter attack. but we finally abandoned this en- trenchment because it was entirely destroyed

 Early this morning the Japanese at tackled our positions on the left flank in the region of Kandolesan, more than twenty Japanese battalions par ticipating. All the attacks were re- pulsed with great loss to the Japanese front ranks.
 ''The Japanese attacking our right flank are dressed in uniforms of our Chembarsk regiment, which was post ed at Gaotu pass.
 Our detachment on the left flank repulsed three attacks today, inflict- ing great loss on the enemy. I have thanked these valiant troops in his majesty's name for their splendid de- fense.
 ''The losses of the Japanese attack ing our left flank are so great that they are constructing defenses with the dead bodies of their fallen com rades."

It extended far beyond the reach of the voice and was 90 denscly packed as to carry the stage out of the sight of many. The capitol plaza, resourceful in accommo odating the thousands eager to view the ceremony was completely filled. People came by its numerous streets and avenues, which, like so many yawning, raveacus maws, greedily swallowed the throng until every coign of vantage was oc:u- pied. The trees, barren of foliage, carried their human burdens on limos capable of bearing the weight of man or boy. and so far away as the terraces and marble steps of the library of congress thousands stood

MILITARY PRELUDE.

The rendezvousing of the troops, committees and civic societies. enter tained the crowd throughout the long wait incident to the schedule. The various organizations arriving by the different routes passed into the narrow defiles which the police kept open, the brilliant uniforms of the troops, the bright sashes of the committees and the rich caparisoning of the horses lending themselves to a kaliedoscopic. panoramic effect. Cheers upon cheers greeted the constantly shifting picture.
 As rapidly as the troops arrived they took the positions assigned them. The military escort stretched far to the left and consisted of all branches of the service-horse, foot and artillery. To the right were grouped division after division of state troops and in different places of honor the other or ganizations took their stand to await the signal to move. The tramping of feet, galloping of horses. the hoarse orders from chiefs and inarshals, the rattle of accoutrements and occasional bugle calls contributed to a pandemo- nium of sound to which the public is unaccustomed at such close range.
 The movements of the gathering of troops and organizations were not all the crowd had for it's entertainment Directly in it's front preparations were in progress for the inauguration itself A monster stand in the form of an open amphitheatre had been erected on a line with the rotunda of the capitol and there decorators were engaged in arranging for the ceremony and ushers busted themselves learning the sections to be assigned to the various officials and distinguished guests.
 The stand itself was of symmetrical architectural proportions, on a differ ent plan from those used in former years. For this occasion it had been built in the form of a semi circle in clining to a level platform on which was placed a pavilion for the presi- dents personal use. The amphithe- atre accommodating nearly 1000 per sons, jutting out from the main en- trance the platform, with it's decor ations of flags, bunting palms and flowers was in brilliant contrast to the

expected to take place the people sought the most advantageous posi- tions. They came by every means of conveyance, carriages discharging their occupants blocks away, and cars in steady stream unloading their passen- gers within the prescribed area from which the unlicensed vehicles were excluded. The number of conveyances of all kinds was totally inadequate 10 meet the demands of the public.
 The scene was one of remarkable animation. Those who sought places maintained a running fire of railIaty and pushed and jostled each other, the sound of their voices mingling with the shuffifng of feet on the asphalted plaza. It was a cosmopolitan public, varied and inclusive, taking in those who from force of circumstances and lack of opportunity were unable to gain desirable places to view the grand procession that was to follow.
 Although the ceremony differed little from those that have preceded it. in the great sea of spectators probably there was a larger number of represen- tative Americans than any other in- auguration has brought to Washington. The eastern states were rivalled in point of attendance by reason of President Roosevelt's great popularity in the middle and the far west. Del egations were present from every one of the insular possessions. Many ot them had never seen the capitol and to a large number, the Inauguration of a president was wholly strange.
 During the hours intervening be- tween the gathering of the crowd and the ceremony there was no letting down of the tension of interest. The passing of 2 uniformed horseman was sufficient to call forth cheers. although in some sections the multitude showed signs of restlessness. This was true particularly on the outskirts of the throng where. pressed by constantly arriving recruits, many struggled t, get nearer to the point of interest.
