Washington correspondenrs: Theodore Roosevelt Saturday was sworn In as the twenty-sixth President of the United States of America before a crowd variously estimated at 50,000 to 100,000 persons. Chosen by the ballots of the people last November to succeed himself as President, he took the solemn oath to execute the laws and preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. The day broke cloudy and with a very slight fall of rain, but the sun soon emerged, the rain ceased and the clouds partially dispersed. At 10 o'clock, when the escort started for the Capitol, the weather conditions were fainrly propitious. The air was clear and balmy, with a temperature of Z0 degrees and only a slight breeze stirring. President Roosevelt's face lacked the sadness It showed when he took the same oath almost four years ago, at the death bed of William McKinley. Then he had ridden many loneiy miles over storm-swept mountain roads to reach the tragic scene of his elevation; Saturday he was escorted along the nation's grandest avenue from the White House to the home of Congress between two densely packed lines of his countrymen gathered from every quarter to cheer him and wish him godspeed in the ooming four years. Then he had said, with choking voice: "It shall be my aim to continue absolutely the policies of President McKinley for the peace, prosperity and honor of our beloved country." Saturday he left It for his fellow citizens, who had honored him with a greater majority than ever before given, to judge whether or not he had redeemed that pledge. When he entered the White House the youngest President in his country's history, besides the vast responsibilities of his office, he received as a heritage McKinley's dearest ambition to become more and more with the years the President of all the people. Saturday there were represented In the throngs that had journeyed hither to greet President Roosevelt men from the North, South, East and West, and from distant islands of the seas; from the Philippines, from Porto Ilico, from Hawaii from every land where floats the emblem of the republic. In the great parade there rode Governors of States, both North and South. Filipinos who had fought under the flag of Aguinaldo carried the arms of Uncle Sam and stepped proudly beneath the Stars and Stripes. Blanketed Indians from the virile plains vied with silk-hatted gentry from the East in sounding the praises of this cowboy-soldier-statesman. The President's old ranch friends, with lariat and chaparejos and wiry 3 THE bronchos, made strange contrast to the stiff-backed, pouter-chested young men from the national military schools. Rough Riders from San Juan HilL volunteers from Santiago, Jackies from Manila Bay shared the plaudits of the multitude with modest everyday soldiers, for whom the title Regular is distinction quite enough. Political clubs from East and West, militiamen from North and South, blue-clad veterans of the sixties, heroes of the Spanish-American war, miners from Pennsylvania, the entire Legislature of the State of Tennessee, the President's neighbors from Oyster Pay all contributed to the national character of the splendid pageant. The inspiring program was carried out ia all of its Interesting details. . In the swift panorama of the day followed in succession the stately presidential procession from White House to Capitol, escorted by troops; the Installation of Mr. Fairbanks as Vice President and the new Senators; the taking of the solemn oath of office by Mr. Roosevelt on the Capitol front; thö delivery of the Inangnral address before the great host of. the sovereign people; the gorgeous paraXi through Washington's avennes, spangled with dags, 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 magnificently decorated pension building youth and beauty, oSclal power and political fame united In the brilliant Inauguration ball as a crownlrj demcr-ttration.

PRESIDENT AN FRIENDSHIP FOR ALL NATIONS IS rilE PRESIDENT'S PLEA. "No weak nation that acta justly and rightly shall ever have cause to fear us, and no strong power shall ever be able to single us out as a subject for insolent aggression." Extract from President Roosevelt's inaugural address. "We have become a great nation, forced by the fact of its greatness Into relations with the other nations of the earth, and we must behave as beseems a people with such responsibilities. Toward all other nations, large and small, our attitude must be one of cordial and sincere friendship." -Extract from President Roosevelt's inaugural address. This year's Inauguration day was perhaps the most notable and spectacular event of Its kind in the history of the nation. The popularity of President Roosevelt was expressed at the polls; it was demonstrated In plcturesqueness and enthusiasm in connection with his taking the oath of office. It seemed fitting that a record-breaking President should have a recordbreaking inaugxiration. In splendor It

GREAT INAUGURAL PARADE.

eclipsed the best of the past and the crowds were larger than ever before. Every estimate placed the number of visitors above 200,000. The highest previous record is 130,000. The capacity of Washington to entertain a crowd was taxed to the limit, and some had to pay dear for their entertainment. The most 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 hi of the new VicePresident 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. The sreat Inaugural parade was. of course, the spectacular event in which everybody was most interested. It began at about 2 o'clock, after the 'inaugural address had been delivered. There aie various ceremonies In connection with an inauguration whicn the public is but little Interested in, because a limited number can see them. But the parade is for all. Many saw It from the stands which were erected along Pennsylvania avenue, on which seats could be obtained at from $1 to $25 each. These stands vere so numerous that a temporary sawmill was built opposite the White House to provide the lumber for them. One of them had a seating capacity of 6,000. Bnt those who occupied seats on tha

stands and in the windows were a small number compared to the thousands who lined the curbs, and shouted themselves hoarse. They had much to look upon. Washington has seen many splendid parades, but no such variety of uniforms ever appeared on the streets as was seen this year. General O. O. Howard and staff rode at the head. Next came Squadron A, of New York, followed by the Presidential party and the escort of Hough Riders. Then followed the military companies, induding regulars, militia and independent companies. There was similarity of uniform in the militia brigades and the regulars, but the monotony was broken by the scarlet, gold, wliite, blue and buff of the independent companies. There were cadets and midshipmen, the latter to the number of TOO comprising the battalion from Annapolis. There were Filipinos and Porto Iticans in the uniform of Uncle Sam. The non-military section, comprising campaign clubs and organizations made up specially for this occasion, were headed by a band of 75 pieces, followed by the Conkling Unconditional of Utica, N. Y., to the number of 150. wearing uniforms of white and black, and carrying silk flags. In this division were 50 miners, carrying their miners lamps and dressed In the garb of the mine. They were from Wilkesbarre, Pa., and represented the nlners who are enthusiastic for the President because of his interference in the miners' strike. Geronimo and his band of Apaches, Sheriff Bullock, of South Dakota, with a troupe of cowpunchers and a company of converted bandits were in the same column with bankers, lawyers, writers and every type of genteel life as represented by political clubs from all over the country. The Inaugural ball was the leading social event. It was briefer than usual for it had to stop at midnight. The floral work was on a more elaborate scale than ever before, and resulted in making the ball as important, interesting and altogether enjoyable an event as the muchly advertised parade. Royal palms, with leaves 25 feet long. were brought up from Porto Ulco and challenged the orchids and roses and smilax and ferns for the attention and admiration of the multitude. On the upper balcony of the interior court were placed evergreen trees 20 feet high and everywhere there was a tracery of greens. Illuminated by tiny electric light bulbs, of one candle power Overhead, I.istead of a canopy effect, the artists endeavored to imitate a beautiful Italian sky. The color scheme was bright on the first floor, to add as much as possible to the effect of brilliancy. The color was softened as the decorators worked upward, until by degrees It gave an open-air effect at the top.

PRESIDENT TAKES THE OATH.

"I do solemnly swear that I will frathfully execute the ollice of President of the United States and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the United Sbttes." Oath of office taken by President Roosevelt. FAIRBANKS SPEAKS. Vice President Is Sworn In with Very Simple Ceremony. Charles Warren Fairbanks was sworn in as Vice President of the United States at high noon Saturday, in the presence of a throng that filled the Senate chamber. The ceremony was evea more simple than that of inaugurating the President. The Vice President said: Senators I enter upon the discharge of the duties of the position to which I have been called by my countrymen with grateful appreciation of the hih honor uud with a deep sense of Its responsibilities. I have enjoyed the privilege of serving with you here for elht years. Durfug that period we have been engaged in the consideration of many domestic questions of vast importance and with foreign problems of unusual and far-reaching significance. We submit what we have done to the Impartial Judgment of history. I can never forget the pleasant relations which have been formed during my service upon the floor of the Senate. I shall cherish them always as among the most delightful memories of my life. They warrant the belief that 1 shall have lu the discharge, of the duties which devolve upon me under the constitution the generous assistance and kindly forbearance of loth sides of the chamber. ' We witness the majestic spectacle of a peaceful and orderly beginning of an administration of national affairs under the laws of a free and self-governing people. We pray that divine favor may attend It and that peace and progress. Justice and honor may abide with our country and our countrymen. BLAZE OF FIREWORKS. Great Pjrrotechnic Display Knds Inauguration Ceremonies. Vit above the granite finger of the Washington monument a colossal fire portrait of President Roosevelt. 200 feet rquare, was painted on the heavens late Saturday night, and to the accompanying plaudits from 100,000 spectators, inauguration day, with the fading of the last fireworks, became a memory. Next to the parade the pyrotechnics were the showy spectacle of the day. The. display was more marvelous than any other illuminations ever seen in the capital, and for three hours the stars were bombarded with shells and bombs that exploded ia midair, filling the night with molten streams of multi-colored fire. As a climax to a wonderful program of set pieces and pyrotechnic oddities, a ton of colored fire was lighted south of the White House, while great silver clouds, masses of. shimmering splendor, shot into the sky from mines below, were pierced by the flight of colored bombs that bnrst with the effect that would be made by 50.000 rockets While the fire was still trickling through the atmosphere a large balloon from a height of one mile shot out an aerial device that exploded and unfurled an immense American flag 300 feet long and 150 feet wide, which settled to the earth, only to be replaced in the sky by a bouquet of roses that bloomed into a portrait of Mrs. ltoosevelt. HEAVY COST Or INAUGURATION. Expenses Will Probably Total Higher than Uttual. An inauguration is no cheap affair. Money barrels of it is required to prepare for the comfort of the visitors. The great fund that is necessary always is guaranteed by Washington's citizens, who in turn are repaid by the vis.tora to the capital from the four corners of the nation. The inaugural guarantee fund, as it is called, was contributed this year by 200 individuals, whose contributions ranged from $5 to $1,000. It cost about $79,000 to meet the expenses of the McKinley inaugural of 1001, while his first inaugural cost $C9,000. The expenses of President Cleveland's second inaugural, - in 1893, were ?5G,000, and those for the Inauguration of President Harrison In 1889, 7?s000. It is probable that owing to the increaaed cost of labor and materials thA expenses of President Roosevelt'i Inauguration have been larger than la usual.

INAUGURAL ADDRESS.

President Roosevelt on Condition that Confront the United States. Following is the text of President Roosevelt's inauguration address: "My fellow citizens: No people on earth have more cause to be thankful than ours, and this is said reverently, in no spirit of boastfulness in our own strength, but with gratitude to the Giver of good who has blessed us with the conditions which have enabled us to achieve ro large a measure of wellbeing and of happiness. To us as a people it has been granted to lay the foundations of our national life in a new continent. We are the heirs of the ages, and yet we have had to pay few of the penalties which In old countries are exacted by the dead hand of a bygone civilization. "We hare not been obliged to fight for our existence against any alien race; and yet our life has called for the vigor and effort without which the manlier and hardier virtues wither away. Under such conditions it would be our own fault if we failed; and the success which we haw had in the past, the success which we confidently believe the future will bring, should cause in us no feeling of vainglory, but rather a deep and abiding realization of all which life has offered us; a full acknowledgment of responsibility which is ours, and a fixed determination to show that under a free government a mighty people can thrive best, alike as regards the things of the body and the things of the soul. Duties to Others and Ourselves. "Much has been given to us and much will rightfully be expected from us. We have duties to other3 and duties to ourselves; and we can shirk neither. We have become a great nation, forced by the fact of its greatness into relations with the other nations of the earth, and we must behave as becomes a people with such responsibilities. Toward all other nations, large and small, our attitude must be one of cordial and sinCere friendship. We must show not only in our words but in our deeds that we are earnestly desirous of securing their good wl'l by acting toward them In a spirit of Just and generous recognition of all their rights. "But justice and generosity In a nation, as in an individual, count most when shown not by the weak but by the strong. While ever careful to refrain from wronging others, we must be no lfss insistent that we are not wronjred ourselves. We wish peace; but we wish the peace of Justice, the peace of righteousness. We wish It because we think it is right and not because we are afraid. No weak nation that acts manfully and justly should ever have cause to fear us. and no 6troug power should ever be able to single us out as a subject for insoleut aggression. Internal Relations Important. "Ovr relations with the other powers of the world are Important, but still more Important are our relations among ourselves. Such growth in wealth. In population and In power as this nation has seen during the century and a quarter of Its naMonal life Is Inevitably accompanied by a like growth in the problems which are ev ;r before every nation that rises to greatness. Power invariably means both responsibility and danger. We now face other perils the very existence of which It was impossible that they should foresee. Modern life Is both complex and inteuse and the tremendous changes wrought by the extraordinary Industrial development of the last half century are felt in every fiber of our social and political being. Never before have men tried so vast and formidable an experiment as that of admiuisterlug the aii'airs of a continent under the forms of a democratic republic. t Care and Anxiety Wealth Brings. "The conditions which have told for our marvelous mate-ial wellbeing, which have developed to a very high degree our energy, self-reliance and individual Initiative, hr,ve also brousht the care and anxiety inseparable from the accummulation of great wealth in industrial centers. Upon the success of our experiment much depends; not only as regards our own welfare, but as regards the welfare of mankind. "If we fall the cause of free self-government throughout the world will rock to Its foundations, ahd therefore our responsibility Is heavy, to ourselves, to the world as It is to-day and to the generations yet unborn. There is no good reason why we should fear the future, but there Is every reason why we should face it seriously, neither hiding from ourselves the gravity of the problems before us nor fearing to approach these problems with the unbending, unflinching purpose to solve them aright. Must Face New Tasks in Old Spirit. "Yet, after all, though the problems are new, though the tasks set before us differ from the tasks set before our fathers who founded and preserved this republic, the spirit In which these tasks must be undertaken and these problems faced, if our duty Is to be well done, remains essentially unchanged. We know that self-government is ditlicult. We know that no peeople needs such high traits of character as that people which seeks to govern its affairs aright through the freely expressed will of the free men to the memories cf the men of the mighty past. They did their work, they left us the splendid heritage we now enJoy. We, in our turn, have an assured confidence that we shall be able to leave this heritage unwasted and enlarged to our children and our children's children. "To do so we must show, not merely in frreat crises, but In the everyday affairs of lfe, the qualities of practical intelligence, of courage, of hardihood and endurance, and above all, the power of devotion to a lofty Ideal, which made great the men who founded this republic In the days of Washington, which made great the men who preserved this republic in the days of Abraham Lincoln." Maybe that sunspot is just the bottom of the coal bin exposed. Senator Mitchell can hardly grind out explanations fast enough to meet the demand. The Senate will now put its perfected block system to work on the railroad rate bill. While the St. Petersburg strike is over, another is likely to be called at the drop of the hat. If this were Russia we might handcuff Swayne and Smoot and send them to the mines. It would require a little time to get used to thinking of Oklahoma, on the water wagon. Winter sports in St. Petersburg include an exhibition of skating on thin ice by N. Romanoff. Anyhow, Grand Duke Sergius seems to have jnade somewhat of a success as a strike-breaker. Kuropatkin can silence his enemies by proving to the world that he has one more masterly retreat in him. Local troubles have seriously interfered with our old friend the rumor that the Czar would go to the front. Evidently the beef trust doubts its ability to utilize that Supreme Court decision in its canning department. As the Chilians have the bigger navy they feel sure that Peru will recognize that their side of the pending controversy is Just. Another reason why Hoch should be given a long term is the desirability of heading off the women who want to marry him. Those Gentile women who swore In Reed Smoot's favor only demonstrate how much the Utah women admire a family man. . The physicians all agree that Banker Beckwith died of a broken heart Bat rhe laymen will doubtless insist that he died of a broken bank,
