Inauguration CeremoniesssSpoile BY
Spell Of Winter Weather.

Spell Of Winter Weather.
WASHINGTON, March 4.-The first
chief executive to take the oath of
Office in the chamber of the senate in
Is years, William Howard Taft, to.
day became president of the United
States.
Accompanied to the capitol through
swirl of binding snow by President
Roosevelt and guard of honor, Mr..
Taft returned to the White house just
as the sun began to force its way
through the clouds. A sudden bliz.
zard sweeping in from the northwest
last night set awry the weather bu.
reau's optimistic promise of flair
and somewhat cooler" caused an
abandonment of the outdoor cere.
monies on the famous east front of
the capitol, much to Mr.. Taft's
chagrin, and threatened for time
to stop the brilliant pageant of the
afternoon.
However, a passage was cleared
along the center OF Pennsylvania
avenue and for nearly three hours
President Taft and Vice: President
Sherman reviewed passing column
which was replete with martial splen.
dor and picturesque with civil display.
Following the ceremonies in the sen.
ate, Theodore Roosevelt, again a
private citizen, bade an affectionate
adieu to his successor, while all in
the historic chamber looked;,on in
silence. and then he hurried away
through side door to take the train
for New York.
Mr.. Taft took up q position facing
the members of his family, grouped
in the gallery. The chief justice be-
gan the administr alton of the oath in
low tone. Mr.. Taft repeated the
words in a slow, distinct voice. When
he at last had kissed the Bible there
was an outburst of applause. a grasp
OF the hand by the chief justice, and
President Taft beganl Immediately the
inaugural address. He read from
typewriter manuscript.
Mr.. Taft won applause at the very
outset by announcing his,Iadherence
to the Roosevelt policies, and of his
intention to carry them:outsby means
OF further legislation which would
also have for its purpose the freeing
from alarm of those pursuing "proper
and progressive business methods"
The galleries were not alone in ap-
plauding the succeeding points made
by Mr.. Taft. The staid members of
the senate constantly interrupted with
applause. The diplomats listened in.
tently to Mr.. Taft's outline of foreign
policy. His frankness in dealing with
the various subjects touched upon in
his address won much commend alton.
The new presidents expression of
friendship for the south, andihis again
asserted belief that the negro problem
was in fair way of proper settlement
aroused great applause.
When Mr.. Taft had concluded Mr..
Roosevelt Immediately made his way
to the rostrum. President Taft ad.
vanced to greet him. TheXtwo shook
hands warmly, and With hands on
each others shoulder they conversed
earnestly for few moments.
During the leave.takingl every one
in the senate chamber looked on with
keenest interest at the unusual picture.
At last the friends parted, and Mr..
Roosevelt darted out at q, side door
leading into the senate lobby. He was
followed by resounding cheers.

Washington, March 24-In the dry
bush Ilains, the mysterious jungles
and 1mpenetrable forests of British
East Africa, where Theodore Roosevelt
and the Smithsonian African EXpedi-
ton will soon begin the search for
specimens for the National Museum at
Washington, there is variety of big

makes it the most wonderful shooting
ground in the world
Hours before the American party
reach the Ju-Ja Ranch, a score of
miles north of Nairobi where the expe-
dltion will make it's headquarters,
game will be sighted as the train
makes it's tOrtuOus way along the Ugan-
da Railroad. There is no shooting al
lowed within a mile Of the railroad,
and the sight of herds Of graceful
mpala antelope or the massive Gland
grazing along the line within only a
few miles of the coast, serves to whet
the appetite for the "safari," or hunt,
to come in the interior. There is game
all along the line of the Uganda Rail-
way, but hunters generally go to Mai
robi, some three hundred miles inland.
Passing Simba, where lions may be
found. the railroad enters the Makindu
district, a rare shooting country.

This promises to be a very difficult
undertaking, because most of the
states, where there are no pulp and
paper mills, naturally think that the
lowering of pulp and paper duties is
a good thing. The newspapers, or
many of them, claim that it Will make
print paper cheaper. They have
waged a long campaign for lower
duties and a special committee of
Congress investigated the matter and
made recommendations that were sub
stantially embodied in the Payne tariff
bill.
Whether the lower duties would
lower the price OF paper or not
