clement days upon which the Inaugural
tions have been held to remark:
AT the last inauguration the weather
was so Indictment that the inaurural cere-
monies had to be held in the Senate
chamber"
yes" replied Mr. mcfarland. land
was about to remark that the people are
entitled to see inaugurated the PRESIDENT
whom they have elected
Mr. mcfarland told of the first inau-
guration. emphasizing the fact tnat
President-elect George Washington did
not arrive in New York until the DAY ne
was inaugurated.
IF the President and Vice President
had stayed away from Washington until
March this year remarked Senator
Depew they could not have got here to
be inaugurated."
Gov Marshall's Joke.
The expressions of the state governors
who favor the change were also read be-
fore the committee That OF Gov. Mar
shall of Indiana was specially uott1.
Perhaps it is not an unmixed evil
he commented. after remarking on the
Indictment weather which charaeterizes
the present Inauguration date. for it
may deter some timid person from being
a candidate for President.
He is an advocate Of the change,
added Mr.. mcfarland.

Depew, with a smile.
He is now timid person., quickly
commented the democratic member from
Alabama, Senator Johnson.
There were also presented before the
committee records of the weather bureau
showing weather conditions March and
the last Thursday in April for long
period of years, illustrating the great ad-
vantage of weather conditions on the
later date.
Other Questions Brought UP.
Senator johnson remarked that he IA
vored the change, because 1t would make
possible the converting of Congress jan
uary 1, instead of the first Monday in
December. Congress does nothing for
three weeks after converting. under the
present system. he declared, and the real
work does not begin until the first of
January.
Commissioner Mcfarland asked. how
ever, that none of these other questions
be raised in connection with the passage
of simple resolution that will change
the inaugural date in the easiest way.
An even more important change. de-
clared Senator Frazier, is one winch VIII
provide for the meeting of the new Con-
gress in the December following the cleo
tons of members of the House
when the people express their views,
he said, ''they ought not to have to walt
a year and month before those views
can be given expression in Congress-
That is one of the serious mistakes in
our present system
Commissioner AIacfarland was asked by
the committee to reduce his remarks to
writing and to submit the written argu-
ment with data regarding deaths caused
by inaugural weather. and comparisons
of weather conditions the first part of
March and the last part of April. and

time.
Believed He Will Accept.
1t is understood that his business in
terests are not large, however. and the
indications are that he would accept an
appointment regardless OF increase In
salary.
In 1898 Mr.. Merriam suffered severe
financial losses. He was president OF
large national bank In st. Paul, and this
went under in the panic of that year.
He lost practically everything he had
and found himself deeply in debt he
has devoted himself since 1888 to paying
of this Indebtedness. and II was said by
one of his friends today that he does not
now owe single dollar
Gen. Johnston was marshal of the inau-
gural parade. He Is not retired army
officer, as has been stated. He resigned
from the army dozen or more years ago
and has lived in Washington ever since.
He is a man of wealth and the question
of salary as Commissioner would be OF no
consequence to him. He is well known to
local interests of the city and highly
thought of.
Both Gen. Johnston and Mr.. Merriam
are republicans. while Mr.. Hemphill has
been a lifelong democrat, although not
a follower of the Bryan faction OF the
party in recent years.
Difference to Public Opinion.
President Taft, it is stated, wishes to
defer as much as possible to local opinion
for the naming OF two strictly local
men, but he likewise believes that Wash
ington, as the capital OF the nation,
should have men as Commissioners with
something of national regulations. men
whose voices before the committees of
Congress would have great weight, and
whose abilities would permit them TO talk
freely and frankly to the most eminent
men in or out of Congress as to District
necessities.
The President does not look forward to
change in the form OF government
here for some time to come. at least not
during the present Congress-. and he will
not undertake to formulate any plan OF
his own and press for its enactment at
this session Of the legislative body.

Religious Marriage Only.

PARIS. December 1s.-A special dis
patch to the Figaro from Brussels says
that Baron Goffinet. private secretary to
the late King OF Belgium, denied the re-
port that a civil marriage was performed
at the deathbed OF Leopold.
He admitted that a secret religious
marriage probably occurred recently, al
though the king never specifically in
formed his intimate friends of such a
marriage. Should this be the case, how
ever, 1t would have no legal standing in
Belgium, and no complications are feared.
Baron Gofflnet said further that Baron
ess Vaughan would bring her children to
Balincourt today, but would return inn
mediately to Brussels. where she would
be allowed to remain, unless her presence

the late King Leopold, filed yesterday, be-

Marriage Not Confirmed.
Several high dignitaries of the Cath
Ollie Church yesterday declared they knew
nothing Of the late kings marriage to
Baroness Vaughan. They had never re-
ceived the confidence of the king in re-
gard to this matter.
A member of the government stated that
the presence of the baroness would be
tolerated for the time necessary for her
to put her affairs in order. If she pro-
voked scandal, he said. the government
would do its duty No matter what posi-
ton the baroness took, there were certain
things which the government could not
forget.
Prince Albert, the heir to the throne.
has received the following telegram from
King Edward Of England:
Il beg you. my dear cousin, to accept
my heartfelt sympathy on the occasion Of
the death Of your uncle, King Leopold"
Prince Albert becomes king next Thurs
day. He will takesthe name Of Albert l.
The newspaper National declares that
the report that the late king was married

10 o'clock this morning in the presence Of
court dignitaries and the physicians.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago, Nov. 19.-Increased con gestipn in the December delivery caused further advance in the price of that option in The wheat market here today, the high point for the day being reached at $1.0S 7-S Dis tant deliveries were inclined to drop. At the close prices were Isc lower to 1sc higher. Coarse grain and pro visions closed higher.
 Active demand for the December delivery and a consequent widening iJf the spread between ahat option and the May was the feature of the trading in the wheat pit. At one time during the day the premium on De cember was ? 7-Sc, compared with 2Ac the previous season.
 Demand for cash wheat was rather slack at all the principal centens. The range on the December delivery for the day was between $1.0S@$1 .0S1k and Sl.0S 7-S. At the close the De cember option was well up toward the top at s1oS1a, but the more dis taint months were almost at the bot tom.
 Clear weather in the corn belt had a weakening effect on the corn mar lIet
 Profit taking in the December op- tion caused moderate weakness in the oats market
 Despite the bullfsh statistics re garding the hog movement through out the west, the provisions market was weak all day Local packers were moderate sellers and this result ed material declines, particularly in pork. Prices at the close were 5c to .27Ac below t.is final figures of the previous day.

NEW YORK STOCKS.

New York, Nov I9.-There were conflicting influences at work in the stock market today, which gave it an appearance of irregularity. The un- favorable influence was a doubt about the character of tomorow's bank statement in favor of higher prices was the renewed rumors for consoli. da,ion of copper producing corpora, tions and the assumptions growing ou Of the Wells Fargo melon cutting on other bonuses.
 The latter influence was perceptible in the wide advances on light dealings of number of high priced investment stocks known to have large surplus holdings in their treasuries, as well as others credited with concealed as sets" which do not figure in balance sheets, There was also a great va niety of movements in stocks of a minor class.
 Incidentally United States Steel was quite aeadily under pressure throughout the day and closing at a small net decline in spite of the buoy ant advance at other points.
 The financial district was flooded with rumors of deals in the latter part of the day alleging sensational increases in dividend disbursements in view and further changes in cor poration relations.
