WONDERFUL^ NEW TORPEDO.
Invention l» Ko.tcre.l by .’he United
stnte. Government.
Washington. March 0.—A Swedish
array officer Iras patented an air torpedo
of a construction heretofore unknown
and is given a government subsidy fot
exploring it. "
According to the patent specifications,
the morion of tho projectile i, causoii
exclusively bv n lorco whieli is devel
oped in the torpedo littlo by little from
ignition of a gas generator from slowly
burning material. Tho pressure of the
gas, gradually becoming stronger, pro
pel. the torpedo by the arrangement
which allows the gas to escape.
Ouco in morion, the torpedo increases
its speed in accordance with tho amount
of ga. pressure. The charge may con
sist of any explosive, provided the same
is ignited only by shocks or blows. Tho
initial velocity need be but slight, as
the torpedo is impelled by its own force.
Tims the discharge from the torpedo
guu consirnoted for the purpose occa
sions no report or recoil and but little
pressure, making tho handling of the
device perfectly safe. At tho trials
made so far, the torpedoes are reported
to liavo traversod a distance of 1(1,OQC
feet. >.

MAGNIFICENT CEREMONY
Wonderful Development of the Great
Republic Strikingly and Impressive-
ly Illustrated — Glorious Weather
Lends Kuehantment to the Occasion.
Inspiring Scenes and Incidents.
Washington, March 4.—William Mc
Kinley of Ohio today was inducted into
the presidential office, being the eighth
in the illustrious lino of presidents of
the United States thus honored by the
American people with the second term.
Simultaueonslv Theodore Roosevelt of
New York became vice president of the
United States. Tho ceremony that
marked this second assumption by Pres
ident McKinley of tho enros of state was
impressive and full of suggestion of the
development of tho republic during the
past four years.
Tho weather is always a source of ap
prehension on inauguration day, and it
has become almost a truism that never
can a president expect on two consecu
tive Inaugurations to have even fait
weather. A long spell of remarkably
line weather added to the probabilities
that a change mnst soon bo expected.
Bnt the weather bureau, beginning Sat
urday Inst, insisted on declaring for flue
weather, and the special bulletin issued
last night expressed absolute confidence
on that point.
At 8 o’clock a. m. a drizzing rain was
falling, and at sunrise the clouds hung
so thickly that the orb of day was
scarcely visible. Hut about 8 o'clock
the clouds began to break, aud in th,
course of an hour broad beams of sun
light swept the avenue, the variations
from light to shadow, as the clouds
scudded rapidly over the sky under tho
influence of a northwest wind, adding
variety to the pictures. On tho whole,
the weather promised to redeem the
pledge of the weather bureau that the
weather would be glorious, the tempera
ture being mild and broad stretches of
blue sky appearing as thy sun forced its
way through the clouds
Magnificent Parade.
Tho purade that, followed President
McKinley today on bis return from tun
capitol to the White House and passed
in review there boforo him wasditferent
from all its predecessors in the majestic
predominance of tho military feature.
Tho civil contingent was quite up to the
average in numbers, yet by actual eouul
made by the marshals the soldiers out-
nnmbcred the civilians in line by more
tiiati fhrue to one. In blue were many
soldiers who had esrfUKfthc cnmr.ty's
flag far out into tho world aud hud
waged a war which was nil in the fu
ture when the lasr inaugural procession
marched along Pennsylvania avenue.
With these young vet raus, and iu the
place of honor, as the president’s escort,
marched another contingent, made np
entirely of soldiers ot the civil war. Al
their head marched tiie Hough Kidei
V>M »« <1
For me first time in a quarter oi a
century, the president rode from tiie
White House to the capitol without a
successor beside him in the carriage.
Grant was the hut ot‘ the presidents oi
the United States up to his time to oc
cupy a similar position. President Mc
Kinley had for his companions in hit
carriage members of tho committee
specially chosen by congress to rake
charge of the inauguration, headed by
Beuator Hanna.
Tho nations of the world, great aud
small, paid their tribute to the presi
dent in attendance at the ceremonies at
the capitol and in reviewing tLo great
parade.
Naval Display.
The navy was represented in the cer
emonies more numerously than ever be
fore. Half a dozen warships. iuor«
than have assembled in the Potomoc
since tho civil war, contributed through
their sutlers and marines one of iht?
most unique and enjoyable feature* of
the cremony, marching over 1,00'J
strong. Down on the water front lay
the famous old flagship Hartford, while
at the navyvard floated the double-
turreted monitor Puritan. Further
down the Potomac lay other vessels un
able to got up the river jo Washington,
hut whose crews swelled the list of pa-
raders.
sixteen states of the uuiou—north,
east, south aud west—were represented
by their governors, most of them accom
panied by numerous stalls. There were
Governor Odell of New York, Governor
Yates of Illinois, Governor Bliss of
Michigan, Governor Van Zant of Min
nesotn. Governor Richards of Wyom
ing, Governor Heard of Louisiana, Gov
ernor McLean of Connecticut, Governoi
Stone of Pennsylvania, Goyernor Diet-

Though worn and v ry, the .legisla

the last few days, ioolvinj. \\
and night, imposed severe * *

up uiu mss ot legislation ana turn to tm
inauguration of tb*i president all was if
readiness in the capitol.
i-rcm White liottie to Capitol.
It was 10:80 o’clock when the presi
dent entered the White House carriage.
With him were Senator Hanna, Repre*
scutatives McRea and Cannon. Secre
tary Cortelyon and th*> members of th*
cabinet took their places in their own
carriage, and with a trumpet blast th*
procession started. In one of the car
riages Admiral Dewey and General
Miles were seated together, in foil dresi
uniform. The carriages tnrned wesl
upon Pennsylvania avenue to reach th*
rear of the escort column, and then
countermarched, passing the White
Honse again at 10:50 o'clock. Grand
Marshal Greene aud staff wore at thl
head of the line.
One of the most notable on.l impres
sive features of the whole day’s ceremo
nies was when, like veterans at th*
word of command, the Porto Rioan bat
talion swung into the line of maroh.
They had been resting on Pennsylvania
•venae, near Eleventh street, and a*
the redcoated artillerymen passed them,
they wheeled with beauriful precision
to their place, without causing a sec
ond’s delay in the marching line. Th*
crowds sent up a mighty cheer as tbes*
soldiers stepped briskly along, showing
their pride aud pleasure by smiling
faces.
It Was 11:40 when the president, hii
cabinet and the escort reached the capi
tol. Mr. McKinley was conducted t*
the president's room, off tho present
lobby, where ho was immediately
joined by the joint committee of con
gress. The secretary of the navy, gen*
erals of tho army aud their immediate
officers entered anti exchanged greetings
with the oommauder-in-chief of th*
army and navy.
After the greetings, the president
signed the bills which the djdng con
gress had passed. A great pile or them
awaited him. Several bills of minor
importance failed. There was aom*
doubt about the St. Louis exposition bill.
Chairman Tawney of the bouse commit
tee anxiously stood by until the presi
dent affixed his signature. It was among
the last bills signed. A tew minaret
before 13 o’clock the last bill was signed
and the president and the members of
the cabinet entered the senate chamber.

Washington, March 0.—An interest
ing decision by the supreme court of
Germany, affecting the right of work
men to aid strikers, has been reported to
tho state department by Consul General

to yield to the unlaw fill refusal of his
employe-*, and and that tho defendants
acted i»i primedHaiti 1 concert with a
