The Inauguration ceremony proper took .place from the east porti to cf the Captol, where such ceremo tkr have been held since the days of lefferson.

Now every-avenue Of production i, crowded tflth activity, labor is well employed s'nci American products find good markets at home and abroad. Our diversified 1 productions, however, are increasing in such unprecedented volume as to admonish us of the ne cessity of still further enlarging for eign markets by broader commercial relations. "For this purpose reciprocal trade arrangements with other na tions should in liberal spirit be care fully cultivated and promoted. The national verdict of ISp6 has for the most been executed. Whatever remains unfilled is a continuing obli gation resting with undiminished force upon the executive an-d Congress. But unfortunate as our condition is, its per manence can only be assured by sound business methods and strict economy in national administration and legis lation. We should not permit our great prosperity to lead us to reckless ven tures in business or profligacy id pub lic expenditures. While Congress de termines objections and the sum of appropriations, officials of the execu tive departments are responsible fer honest and faithful disbursement, and it should be the constant care to avoid waste and extravagance. Honesty, ca pacity, and Industry'are no where more indispensable than in public employ ment. These should be the fundamental re quisits to original appointment and the surest guarantees against removal. OUR WAR WITH SPAIN. t four years ago we stood on the ’mink of war without the people know iug it and without any preparation or effort at prepariton for impending per il- I did all that in honor could be done to avert war but without avail. It be came inevitable; and Congress, at its first regular session, without party de viation proviTwto money in anticipation °f the crisis' and in preparation to meet it. It came. The result was sign ally, fa vorable to American arms, and in the highest de.gjee x honorable to the gov ernment. If'iirjpOEed us ablign tions from wiiich- we can not escape and from which it would be' dishonor able to seek to escape* • ' ~ IVe are now at peace with the world, nf i it is my fervent prayer that if dif ferences arise between us and other Fevers they.may-be settled by peace f'fi arbitration and that hereafter we Fay be spared the horrqrs of war.' I-ntrusted by the* people for a ‘second Trap with the ,Qffies..of President, I enter upon {ls administration, appreci ating the great responsibilities which at ach to this renewed honor and com mission, promising unreserved devo tion on my part to the faithful dis charr f uui reverently in voicing for my guida, c,, direction and favor of Al in i-gh-t;/ God. I should shrink from du ties this (V.y assumed if I did not feel that in their performance I should have the cc opcration of wise and pa triotic t-ien cf all parties. It encourages me for the great task which I now undertake to believe that thoso who voluntarily committed to me the trust imposed upon the Chiei Executive of the Republic, will give to me generous support in my duties to “proservs, protect and defend the con stitution, of the United States” and to “care iba<; laws be faithfully executed.” STRONG HEARTS NEEDED. Strong hearts and helpful hands are needed, and fortunately, we have them in every part of our beloved country. We aro r. -united. Sectionalism has dis appeared. Division on public questions can no longer 1 traced by the war maps of 18G1. The3c old differences less and less disturb the judgment. Existing problems demand the thought and quicken the conscience of the country, ana responsibility for their presence as well as for their righteous settle ment, rests upon us all, no more upon orre than upon you. There are some na tional questions in solution of which patriotism should exclude partisanship. Magnifying their difficulties will not take them off our hands nor facilitate .their- adjustment. Distrust of the ca pacity, integrity;'and high purposes of thi- American peoapie will not be in spiring them for future political con tests. ' Dark pictures and gloomy fore bodings are worse than useless. These only* becloud, they do net help tq paint the way of safety .and honor-. “Hope make thee not asham ed.'” Prophets of evil tfrere not builders of the republic, cor in its crises’ .since, have they saved or served it. The faith of tlm tappers’ was a m,ighty force in frill t!u fa'Tii pi their' del sojndar.Cs has wrought its . progress and’furnished its.-defenders, They are Obstructionists who despair and who would destroy confidence in the'ability ;pf c'ur people to solve, wisely and for •civilization, the mighty problems rest ing'upon them. Our institutions will not deterioate by extension, and our sense of justice will not abate under tropic suns in dis- ( tant seas. As heretofore,, so hereafter will the nation demonstrate its fitness to ad mind,A r any new estate which events devolve upon it, and in the fear of God will ‘‘cake occasion by the hand and make bounds of freedom wider yield.” If there are those among us who would make our way more difficult, wo must not be disheartened, but more earnestly dedicate ourselves to the task upon which we have rightly entered. We will be consoled, with the fact that opposition has confronted ever} onward movement of the Republic from its opening hour until now, but with out success. The Republic has marched on and on, and its every step has ex alted freedom and humanity. We are undergoing the same ordeal as did out predecessors nearly a century ago. We are following the course they blazed. They triumphed. Will their successors falter, and plead organic impotsincy in the nation? We adhere to the principle of equality among ourselves, and by no act of ours will we assign to our selves a subordinate ran in the family of nations. My fellow citizens, the public events of the past four years have gone into history. The part which the United States bore so honorably in the thrill ing scenes in China, while new to Americn laife, has been in harmony with its spirit and best traditions, and in dealing with results its policy will be that of moderation and fairness. CUBAN RELATIONS. We face, at this moment, the most important question—that of future re lations of the United States and Cuba. With our near neighbors we must re main close friends. The declaration of purposes of this government in the resolution of April 20th, 1898, must be made good. Ever since the evacuation of the Island by the army of Spain the Executive with all practicable speed has been assisting the people in successive steps neces sary to establish a free- and independ ent government, prepared to assume and perform the obligations of inter national law which nod rests upon the United States, under the treaty of Baris. The cbn’vention elected by the people-to frame a constitution is ap proaching the completion if its labors.

PEACE FOR CUBA. The peace which we are pledged to leave to the Cuban people must curry with it guarantees of permanency. We become sponsors for the pacifi cation of the lelnud, and we remain ac countable to Cubans, no Fas than to our own country and people for the reconstruction cf Cuba as a free com mctrwealth, on the abiding foundations of right, justice, liberty, and assured order. Our enfranchisement of people will not be completed until free Cuba shall “be a reality, mot name; a perfect en tirity, not a hasty experiemant tear ing within itself the elements of fail ure’.’ While the treaty of peace with Spain was ratified on the sixth of February, 1899, and the ratifietinons were ex changed nearly two years ago, the Con gress has indicated no form of govern ment for the Philippine leludsa. It has, however, provided an army to enable the Executive to suppress the insur rection, restore peace, give security to the inhabitants, and establish the au thority (X the United States, through out the archipelago. It has authorized the organization of native troops, as auxiliary to the regu lar force. It has been advised from time to time of the acts of the military and naval officers In the Islands; of my action in appointing civil com missions; in instructions with which they wore charged; of their duties and powers; of their recommendations and of thtir several acts under the execu tive commission, together with the very complete general information they have submitted. I shall continue the efforts already began until order shall be restored throughout the Island, and as fast as conditions permit will establish local governments, in the formation of which lull co-operation of the people has been already invited, and when estab lished will encourage the people to id minister them. Most liberal terms of amnesty have already been communicated to the in surgents and the way is still open foi those who have raised their arms against the government, for honorable submission to its authority. Our countrymen should not be de ■'Ye are not waging wax agaipst inhabitants of the Philippine Islands. A portion of them are making war against the United States. By far the greater part of the inhabitant recog nize American sovereignty and wel come it as a guaranty of order and of security for life, property, liberty, free dom of conscience, ar.d the pursuit of happiness. FULL “PROTECTION.” , To them full protection will be given. They shall not be abandoned. We will 'not leave the destinty .of the loyal mil lions in these Islands to the disloyal thousands, who are in Tebelion against the United States. Order under civil institutions will come as soon as those who now break the peace shall keep it. Force will not be needed or used when those who make war against us shall make it no more. May it end without further bloodshed and there be- ushered in the reign of peace to be made permanent by a gov ernment of liberty under law. The Vice President said: “The history of free government is in large part the history of these leg isltiave bodies, in which, from our earlyest times, free government has found its loftiest expression. They must ever hold a peculiar and exalt ed position in the; record which tells how great the nations of the world have endeavored to achieve and preserve orderly freedom. No man can render to his fellows greater service than is rendered by him, who, with fearless less and honesty, with sanity and dis interestedness, does his life work as a member of surti a body. Especially is this the case when the legislature in which the service is rendered ,is a vi tal part in the Government machinery of one of those world-powers to whose hands in the course of the ages, is entrusted a leading part in shaping the destinies of mankind. For weal or for woe, for good or for evil, this is true of our mighty nation. Great privileges and great powers are ours, and heavy are the responsibilities that go with those privileges and these powers. Accordingly as we do well or ill. so shall mankind in the future, be raised or cast down. We belong to a young nation. already of giant strength, yet whose present strength is but a forecast of the power that is to come. We stand supreme in a conti nent, in a hemisphere. East and West we look across the two great oceans toward the large world life in which •whether we will or not,we must take an ever increasing share. And as, keen eyed, we gaze into the coming years, duties, new and old, rise thick and fast t;o confront us from within and f. uh without. There is every reason why we should face these duties with a sobei appreciation alike of their importance and of-their difficulty. But there is also every reason for facing them with high hearted resolution and eager and con?- dent faith in our capacity to do them right. A great work lies ready to the hand of this generation it should count iteelf happy indeed, that to it is given the privilege of doing such a work. A leading part therein must be taken by tie to preside over which I have been called to preside. Most deeply do I an priciate the privilege of my position; for high indeed is the honor of presid io over the American Senate at the outset of the twentieth century.” I'MMOVItA IIC. A LIVELY SESSION. .—*~ Tie United States Senate Gets Up a Row. ♦ MOVE TO LIMIT DEBATE THE CAUSE It VSfcsOf ered By 'Mr, Platt, ofCcn nccticut,and Several Senators Ex pressed Their Strongly. ashington, D. C., Special.—Quite unexpectedly a lively debate was pre cfTitated. at the first business session of the (Senate oif the Fifty-seventh Con gress. Mr. PLitt, df Connecticut, of-, fefod an amendment to the rules to limit debate in the Senate. Its pro poiiement toad no purpose of pro voic ing discussion upon it today, but sev eral Senators expressed their views in no uncertain terms. Senator Mason, o’ llLr.o's, 'thought it did not go far enough and gave notice of an amead nwnt under wihich, he s’Stfc, the ma jority would net be under the ootiol of tjje minority. Senators Wellington, cf Maryland!, and BaSon, of Georgia, denounced the effort to Change the rules as #x ;cem!y, -the former chal lenging tire right of the’Senate to con sider the proposition at this session. Many of the now Senators were re cipients cif (beautiful floral offerings fr am their (friexudi-, several cf the pieces on the Bemoonatlc side cf the chamber toeing particularly notable. Mr. Simmons, of North Carolina, was among th,e recipients. Former Sene tor Peffeir, of Kansas, was on the floor during the ea-fily pa t cf the session, and was cordially received by tois for- • me" colleagues. The day's seesion of’the Senate was practically the first cf the. Fifty-sev enth Congress', that of Monday being brief and routine in-ctonraoter. An im mense th-onig crowded the galleries. Vice President Rcoteveit’s appearance evoked a great wave of applause from the galleries. After the reading od tba journal the Vice Freefidenit administer ed the oath cf office to Mr. Nelson, of Minnosbta, and Mr. MicLaurin, of‘M s sins ippi. Mr. Platt, of Connecticut, gave no tice of an amendment to the Pft we rules to limit debate upon any bill on rcssciution to “reasonable limits'” to < j, *jie the majority to do business in the Senate. Mr. Mason, cf Illinois, gave notice of an amendtnienit he proposed to offer to the amendment of Mr. Platt. He in ! si'sted that the time should be fixed in the rulles for the limiting o: debate, i The Senate, he ©aid, was the only leg islative bedy in the world in which he majority was controlled by the mi nority. Mr. Bacon, of Georgia, disapproved Of the proposed change (in the rules, and declared tois purpose of doing everything in his power to defeat the amendment. The methods pursued now by the Senate in his opinion woie the best possible. They permitted full time for the discussion and examina tion of every measure presented. As to the proposition of Mr. Mason to adopt a modification of the Reed rules, he asserted that the House of Repre sentatives opera,Cing under those rules, did net deliberate upon any 'legislation. If merely suggested legislation which came to the Senate in 'crudte form and by it had to te put in proper legis'a tive shape. He warned the rie..n e that if 'the proposed rule were adopted, it soon would go the whole length and present the spectacle of a cngrsss, no*, only the House, tout the Senate ailso, dominated by one cr two men. Mr. Wellington, of Maryland, chal lenged the propriety of the presenta tion of such a proposition at an ex traordinary session. Referring to the defeat of the river and harbor bill, he. said: “This proposed rule is offered as a means of revenge.” Mr. Platt TOtiorted 1 that he was co in faver of the passage cf the rive, and harbor measure. Mr. Wellington replied that while he .was a noting against :#e river and har bor billl, he was threatened unless he i ceased his opposition, that a olotuio rule would bo presented and Its adop tion insisted upon. “I low," be said, “to no party ana to no man when my conscience tells me that a measure is wrong.” Gold’s Hlfth Water nark.

London, by cable —The v.c.r in South Africa has again reached a stage which the British newspaper critics are pleased to call the eve of the ter mination . The rumors of the su.ren der of General Bofhu and the collapse of all Boer resistance flourish, to the great benefit of South Africa stocks. Those most responsible for carrying oci the war do not share this optimism. The new con.;ntfation of troops atHhe front is only one of many steps for which General Kitchener has so long been preparing. That it will lead to the complete disintegration of the more important Boer unites and pos sible to the personal surrender of Gen eral DeWit ar.d Botha, the British War Office earnestly hopes. But it does not go so far as to expect it. General Kitchener is almost as reti cent towards* his chiefs in Pall Mall as to Che general public. The meetirig of General Kitchener and Sir Alfred Milner, *at Pretoria, probably occurring Sur.dey, is taken generally as likely to result in the es tablishment of a more permanent form of civil government, in which the severities of martial law will be lonic what tenuarod in several sections of the eoun’tflr But neither in Lon don or in South Africa are the British officials shutting their eyes to the fact that they have a long flask ahead of them which can'only be lightened and by no in cans solved through the vic .toricis over the Boer unites. The glory,which the British press some •timeSjPgo showered on General Do Wet has parted from him. In dis patches and. editorials he is now belit tled so a disappointed raider, deserted by his own men and venting his fruit less anger by sjambocking his reluct ; amt handful of follower.'. Calmer ob servers are inclined to Tear the elusive Bye r leader is merely under a tempo rary cloud, from which he m<ay be ex pected at any moment to emerge ac companied by a force which, though not formob'e in numbers, will be par ticularly formablo in execution. The false araiouncemeot of General Bo tha’s surrender Thursday, will be a mfctbtor for discussion in the House of i Commons, especially the fact, which accompanied the assorvation, that it was officlad. Government of the Philippines. Washington, D. C., Special.—The President will issue an executive or der, designating General MacArthur and all the other officers of the pre sent military government in the Phil ippines to administer all military, civ il and judicial powers necessary to govern the Philippine Islands. The ex isting government will continue under anew designation of authority from the President, until arrangements can be made “for the establishment of civil government and for maintaining and protecting the inhabitants of said Is lands in the free enjoyment of their liberty, property and religion.” This is simply a precaution against legal or international comptißations. A gene ral plan of civil government has been formulated by the Secretary of Wat and referred to the Philippine com mission for its consideration. It will be. for the President to determine when and how the government shall be inaugurated. It seems to be settled that Judge Taft will be the first civil governor of the Philippines and that General Ch’affe will have command of the military forces. Lived as a Man.

Mr. Lentz, of-’Ohio, challenged Mr. Hull’s right to vote. The challenge brought forth a storm of hisses from the Republican side. Mr. Hull voted aye. The final confer ence reported upon the Indian appro priation bill was adopted and a num ber of minor hills were put through the final stages. The conference re-, port on tire St. Louis Exposition bill (which agreer to Sunday closing), was agreed to, and the bill was sent back to conference.
