M’KINLEY IS CHIEF.

PRESIDENT INAUGURATED FOR A SECOND TERM. and Impressive Inaugural CerrmonHes - Gorgeous Pageant Up Pennsylvania Avenue Dazzling Ball at Night. •Washington correspondence: William McKinley is ugain President of the United States. lie pronounced the oath of office with impressive solemnity as he stood before the white-haired chief justice on the Capitol plaza Monday afternoon, and then reverently kissed the Bible opened before him. That was the final act of the making of a President, after the people had expressed their will at the polls more than four mouths before, and the electoral college had declared the will of the people in Congress three months later. There were intermediate steps and many formalities, but. this simple act of the taking of the oath to preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the United States was the culminating not by which William McKinley again placed the crown of authority upon his head and became the chief executive of over 70,000,000 of people. The inspiring program was carried out in all of its interesting details. In tin l swift panorama of the day followed in succession the stately presidential procession from White House to Capitol, eg corted by troops; the installation of Roosevelt and the new Senators; the taking of the solemn oath of office b.v Mr. McKinley on the Capitol front; the delivery of the inaugural address before the great host of the sovereign people; the gorgeous parade through Washington’s avenues, spangled with ten thousand flags, and lined with cheering thousands, and the review of the marching battalions by the President in front of the executive mansion. Fireworks blazed gloriously at night, and in the nNtguificeutly decorated pension building youth and beauty, official power and political fame united iri the brilliant inauguration lmll as a crowning demonstration.

PRESIDENT AND VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

The second inauguration of William McKinley was even more grandly Impressive than the first. For more than three months the inauguration committee, of which the Hon. J. J. Kdson was chairman. had been industriously at work on plans and details. While preserving all the time-honored features of _ inaugural ceremonies, they introduced many new ideas which they felt would greatly improve the inaugural spectacles, in the arches that spanned the streets and in the decorations of the buildings were allowu evidences of the progress of the nation, and the inaugural procession embracing the army, the Guardsmen, the fl. A. It., the navy, civic bodies, religious ami educational interests, an I exhibits of material resources, the decorations of the streets and buildings, the receptions and the iuaurural bull all kept this central Idea before the mind just so far as h wa» possilde for them to do so. The generals participating in the Spanish war, tiioae conspicuous in the suppression of tlie Philippine rebellion, admirals who fought at Manila bay and at Santiago, tlie regulars in khaki, the Guardsmen in their gay uniforms, the middies in their jaunty uniforms, the campaign marching dubs with brilliant equipage, the civic I bodies each conspicuous for sonic allegorical representation, the trophies of war on land and sea. etc., combined to make u panorama of the nation's power It falls to comparatively few people to behold such a spectacle ns that which those on the plaza saw before them ns the President took the oath of other., In front, neres and acres of humanity, upturned faces. In trees and upon Tile ornamental lampposts decorations of liumaii form nud shape. Clambering over the statuary which graces tlie portico of the grandest of all national atatelionaes, hundreds of adventurous youths and men. High upon the noble dome, peering over har.arilotis ledges, peeping out from every porthole in the glass roof, still other reprcHcntatives of Americans who will see or die. In the background of this vast picture the beautiful library of Congress, fit monument to the artistic and educational instincts of a people who escorted to the executive chair their twenty-sixth President in a little more than n hundred years .of national life--a library which takes first rank iu all the world of hearty of architecture and adornment. Htirrounding this building, the prid? of the national capital, aud iu every direction aa fay aa vision goes, roafH Is* seen the glint of steel, the flying inane of cavalry horses, the shimmer of the uniforms es the troop*, federal aud Htate.

The moat imposing, if not impressive, portion of the inaugural ceremonies undoubtedly took place in the United States Senate chamber and was witnessed by 2,000 people. This was the swearing In of the new Vice-President and the Inauguration of the Senate for another term of Congress. These ceremonies were very simple in themselves, but the formality with which they were invested, their exclusiveness and the gathering of distinguished men made it an occasion of peculiar interest. 'Thera were gathered all that is considered gregt in a republic. Thece were the representatives of the highest legislative bodies in the world, the Sonata and House of Representatives of the United States; there was the highest tribunal in the world, the Supreme Court of the United States; there were men who would hold the highest elective offices in the world, the President and Vice-Presi-dent of the United States of America. In addition there were the representatives of every civilized government on the face of the earth gathered to do honor to the administration of the United States. There were also gathered wealth, beauty and brains of tba country in the gallery. Distinguished and noted men and women endured the crush of the crowded corridors to he present at this national event. The galleries filled early, and it was a select gathering that witnessed the scene, select, however, only in the favoritism of those who controlled tike tickets of admission, for there were us distinguished citizens out on the street and in the great throng in front of the Capitol as there were in the Senate galleries. Outside the crowds surged around the capitol and filled the grfat avenue leading thereto. Outside there was cheering incessant over the statesmen who passed and the military and civic organizations that gathered, but inside the capitol, beneuth the great dome, there was an impressive silence ns the Senators gravely gathered in the hall, for there is solemnity as well as enthusiasm in the Inauguration of a President. 1,1 KK A FAIRY’S DHKAM. Inauguration Ball a Scene of Wonder and Grandeur. Democratic pomp reached its dazzling climax at the inauguration ball. Such

scenes of magnificence are beheld rather less than once a lifetime, and then are generally conjured up by the magic of a fairy tale. Its splendors shunted the superlatives of admiration us weak, beggarly and worthless. Its trappings were worthy the munificent efforts of those omnipotent genii who transform bubbles into diamonds with a breath. Its bewildering beatifies would have satisfied the most exacting exquisite of the fairy world, whose dreams always come true. Its display of lustrous stuffs and glittering gents would have excited th(> envy of that ancient Mr. Froesus who set the fashion of being so rich that uo our could disprove it. This hall —which is uot a hall, by the way; only a grand spectacle on the most extravagant of scales—dimmed the glories of all its predecessors. It was fha dream of thousands crystallised into life iu»d light, color aud rhythm. It tilled many a fair woman's cup of ambition brimming full and running over. It dowered many it blnuielyss man with n happy, ever-present bdast for all his remaining days. The scene of these splendors was the great pension building, which is generous enough to encompass a city: square and tall enough to swallow a sky scraper. This hull, with gigantic proportions befitting the great republic, was draped with a wilderness of flowers and greens and Hags and gay stuffs, and the whole Hooded with the dazzling radiance of a myriad of electric lights. The walls of the court were hidden tinder endless stretches of white drnpcriciji spnlshcd with golden cloths in sweeping loops anil graceful circles. On this background of white nml gold, labor had spread the wealth of the world of Hora. Southern Ivy ran riot iu deli<aie traceries. Evergreen ropes circled the halt in curving pendant*. Palms of many kinds reared their fronded heads In lofty pride above f<-ruw, bays and lesser plants, while geticstns lent their fellow: blossoms to the maze of color. The music was continuous. The Marine hand supplied ptotuenade music, while Haley's orchestra of 11!." pieces played for the dancers. The musical program embraced selections of the highest order. The ball program was repeated at live concerts, to which the public was admitted for a nominal ndinission; together wilh selections by a picked orchestra of (100 voices supported by I with baud and orchestra. These concerts were expected, to help iu a large measure to defray the cost of the Imll. Patronise those who advertise.

PARADE A MONSTER.

Imposing Pageantry in Honor off Pragl* dent McKinley. The parade was a military and civic pageant projected upon a scale of magnificence never before undertaken on a like occasion. Undoubtedly in point of numbers, spectacular features and gorgeous accessories It eclipsed any inaugural display in the history of the nation. Upward of 55,000 men were in line. Every arm of the military service was represented by crack organizations, the National tiuanl of several States added to the brilliney of the military demonstration, while civic orders, political >rlabs, college students, eminent men, chief executives of States with imposing staffs, historical floats symbolic of t!ie progress of the nation, and hands almost without number contributed to the splendor of the spectacle. The military pageant was exceptionally imposing, it included 1,200 cavalry, 3,000 regular infantry, hundreds of bluejackets and 2,800 marines, and 15,000 National Guardsmen from several States. In addition there were 10,000 citizen marchers, 10,000 members of civic organizations, and 2,000 college students. Innumerable bands, aggregating a membership of 3,000, provided the “concord of sweet sounds" that made the occasion memorable for the most ambitious musical auxiliary employed in connection with the quadrennial national function. States which sent military organizations were Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania. Maryland, Ohio, Illinois, New Jersey, Michigan, Virginia and Alabama. The aggregate strength of the State militiamen in uniform did not fall short of 15,000 men. and second military division. His aids included Algernon Snrtmis, grandson of Gen. Grant, and Brig. Gen. Charles King. Evqry Republican Governor, accompanied by his staff and, where the Guard ,of the State is not out in force, accompanied by a small escort, lent distinction to the pageant, while mayors of cities, eminent statesmen and meu of affairs passed in review. Practically all that remains of the regular army now in the l nited States, including cavalry, infantry and artillery,

participated in the parade* lu additioa to tlie officers in service, hundreds of exregular army officers and volunteers particnated in full regimentals. The grand marshal of the stupendous inaugural ceremonies was Lieut. (Jen. Nelson A. .Miles, commander-in-chief of tite American army. (Jen. Francis V. Green was grand marshal of the parade, and his aids were selected from every Stale in the Union. Tens anti hundreds of thousands of American citizens thronged the sidewalks ' and the reviewing stands. While they j shouted iu applause the column swung on to the time of national airs rolling up to heaven from a hundred bands. The I strains of “John Brown’s Body" and “Marching Through Georgia" mingled with the music of “Dixie'*! nud “Maryland. My Maryland,” while the man from the North nud the man from the South applauded, each without discrimination. Then “The Star-Spangled Banner” and “America” were heard. The crowds caught up the airs, and 10,000 voices were joined in a national chorus, w’hieh proclaimed that sectionalism is n bugaboo and that one Hag waves over one people. SOW 1-1 ()T T H KBAN DP. OrKonizations That Attructel Attention Everywhere. The inauguration did not lack for music. There wore nearly a hundred organizations In attendance. The famous Marine band had to divide honors with Fatiehulli’s uoted organization of New York and with tunes' celebrated body of musicians. The Grand Army band of Canton. Ohio, 100 pieces, was,ope of the most conspicuous, and Bcldstcdt’s ('on-' cert hnnd of Cincinnati, oue of the most popular organizationa cast of the Mississippi. had a prominent place in the ceremonies.

RIOT IN THE COMMONS.

Sixteen Irish Members Dragged Out of the Hone* by Policemen. - Sixteen recalcitrant Irish members hi the British Parliament were carried from the House of Commons by a squad of policemen about midnight Tuesday, shout ing “God save Ireland." The trouble began in committee, when Mr. Balfour applied the closure on the educational estimates without giving an opportunity for discussion of the figures for Ireland. The Nationalist* shouted, “Gag, gag," and refused to lenve the House when a [division was taken. Mr. Flavin cried: “1 protest against the way ail Irish votes are closured.” The speaker asked if the Irish members refused to obey the order. There were cries of “Yes. yes.” The speaker then named sixteen of the recalcitrants. Mr. Balfour moved their suspension and it. was agreed to without a division. The speaker ordered them to withdraw. They refused amid great uproar. A squad of police was called in to remove them. Neyer before has a scene such as accompanied the removal of Mr. Crean occurred. He struggled fiercely with the attendants, who summoned the police. 'Five policemen seized Crenn, who could not he moved for several minutes. Meanwhile other policemen were struggling and fighting with the Irishmen, who obstructed the passage of the police to Crean’s scat. The Irish shouted: “Don’t kill him.” The Nationalists fought and struggled frantically, but the police succeeded in dragging Mr. Crean out. Irishmen shouting “Shame!" “Murderers!" ami "South African brutality!” The speaker called upon Mr. McHugh to retire. He defiantly refused. Twenty policemen again stormed the Irish honchos. McHugh fought fiercely. Fights between the. police and members were fairly general. While McHugh was being carried out, Patrick O’Brien excitedly appealed to the speaker to “Stop this most distressing scene." The speaker responded: “The scene is certainly ns distressing to me as it can tie to the Irish members.” Tht> speaker then asked other recalcitrants to leave quietly. They shouted refusals. The speaker then ordered’ their removal. The police grappled with them and carried thetn out forcibly over the 'benches. White Donelan was being removed the Nationalists sung "God Save Ireland.” Flavin shouted at the Unionists, who sat silent, “You will be carried out of South Africa in the snme way.’ Then Flavin was seized ami ejected. Several constables were badly handled in the scuffle.

J. E. SEARLES ASSIGNS.

Business Man Well Known in Sugar and Cotton Circles Fails. The failure of John E. Seavles, more famous as ex-secretary of the sugiy| trust than by reason of his present financial difficulties, was announced in New York Tuesday afternoon. The amount involved is not definitely given, but is said to be between SI.OOO.IHMt and $2,000,000. His interests of late have been varied and complicated. His wealth when lie retired from the sugar trust two years ago was estimated at $20,000,000. Wearies had been a financial genius. His assignment did not surprise financiers, a New York dispatch says, as it was known he had been embarrassed by too many interests rather ghan by the weakness of any one. Wall street says his tendency to speculate in “eats and dogs" was the reason for his sudden retirement from the sugar trust and the presidency of the Western National Bank in 1800. He is 01. The last two years he has devoted himself largely to the interests of the American Cotton Company.
