cession of William McKinley, of Ohio,
student, lawyer, representative, gover¬
nor, to tho high office of president of
the United States of America.
Everything in the inaugural pro¬
gram worked to that end with a de-

the exception of Secretary Olnoy.

monstration of the day was a shining
success in every particular.
Five minutes after 10 o’clock tho
president-elect emerged from his re¬
ception room door at the Ebbitt on the
arm of Senator Sherman. He looked
calm and walked firmly.
As the president-elect emorged from
'the private entrance beside the tall
form of Senator Sherman there was a
roar ef applause that shook the build¬
ings. The street was so packed with a
solid mass of people that the carriage
which was to convey the president-elect
to tho White House could scarcely be
driven. While the police struggled to
clear ft passage through the crowd tho
president-elect, bowed his acknowl¬
edgements He was seated with Sen¬

the crowd a good view of tho president¬

GARRETT A. HOBART, THE NEW VICE-PRESIDENT.
In the Senate Chamber*
Tho senate chamber was the center
of attraction Thursday and the galier-
ies presented a lively scene. The pro-
ceedings were brief interims betweon
recesses, for the time had gone by
without anything beyond tho vital leg-
islation of appropriation bills.
The presidential family party arrived
at 11:30 o’clock. Mrs. McKinley, so¬
companied by her sister, Mrs. Barber,
moved down the aisle and took a front
seat in the gallery which had been re¬
, served for her. Following the wife of
the new president came the venerable
supreme court. They filed slowly
down the aisle in gorgeous regalia and
silken robes, the crowds on the floor
and i[ ‘ t!le galleries standing respect-
fully ^ until they Were seated. The

The members of the house of repre¬
sentatives filled the entire body of the
hall on tho right side and in the oppo-
site area of the chamber sat the sena-
tors and sonators-eleet. As the presi-
dential party took their seats vice-
President Stevneson arose and invmd
b is successor to step forward and take
the oath of office.
Mr. Stevenson then delivered his
valedictory address, speaking hoarsely,

Mr. Hobart now advauood to the
presiding chair, and for the first time
exercised his oflicial functions by call¬
ing the senate to order.
Mr. Hobart moved aside for tho
blind chaplain of the senato, Rov. llr.
Milburn, who in an impressive voioe
delivered the first invocation to the
new senate.
Mr. Hobart advanced to the desk,
raised his right hand and took the oath
in accordance with the constitution. On
taking the oath of office, ho said:
“All the interests of good govern¬
ment and tho advancement toward a
higher and better condition of things
call for prompt legislation at our
hands.
“To obstruct tho regular courso of
wise and prudent legislative action,
nfter the fullest and freest discussion,
is neither consistent with true senato¬
rial courtesy, conducive to the wellaro
of the people, nor in compliance with
their just expectations,”
As the chaplain closed, Vice-Presi-
dent Hobart addressed tlie senate for
the.first time, as ho delivered his in-
troductory address.
Tho proclamation of the outgoing
president calling an extra session of
the senate having been read, Vice-
President Hobart requested tho new
senators to advance and take the oath
of office.
As the new senators took the oath
there was a hum of interest through
the gallery. Men conspicuous in pub-
lie and private life were recognized
when, with uplifted hand, they swore
allegiance to the constitution. No ex¬
act order was observed, tho oath being
given to foul 1 senators at one time.

Meantime while the oaths were be¬

Mr, McKinley sat talking in a low
tono. It was clearly a most agreeable
exchange for tho old president and
the now smiled every now and then
as they nodded aeon iescence to each
other.
It was 1:05 P- m. when tlie last oath
had boon administered and then the
formal exit began, the supremo judges
going first, then Mr. Cleveland and
President McKinley and the other
officers following. Tho occupants of
the public gallery were held in their
places some time in order not to

the chamber was deserted and

PRESIDENT SENDS NAMES OK HIS
ADVISERS TO THE SENATE.
RLL ARE PROMPTLY CONFIRMED.
Silver Senators Discuss Mr. Gage’s Posi¬
tion On the Financial Question But
Made No Protest Against Him.
The proceedings of the first session
of the fifty-fifth congress were wit¬
nessed by a very large assemblage of
spectators in the galleries of the senate
Friday, the senate being now with¬
out the legislative partnership of the
house of representatives, which body
will remain in a state of suspended
animation until called into renewed
existence on the first day of the extra¬
ordinary session soon to be convened
by President McKinley,
The republican side of the chamber
looked as though the contents of a con¬
servatory had been deposited in it.
Magnificent fioral offerings had been
placed on tlie desks of numerous sena¬
tors who bad taken the oath of office
on Thursday, ns well as that of Vice
President Hobart.
The democratic side of the chamber
was free from such offerings.
As the first business Mr. Mark Han¬
na was sworn in as Secretary Sher¬
man’s successor. The usual formali¬
ties of notifying the president were
observed.
The following appointments were
received from President McKinley:
of Secretary of state, John Sherman,
Ohio.
Secretary of the treasury, Lyman J.
Gage, of Illinois.
Secretary of war, Russell A. Alger,
of Michigan.
Attorney general, Joseph McKenna,
of California.
Postmaster general, James A. Gary,
of Maryland.
Secretary of the navy, John I). Long;,
of Massachusetts.
Secretary of tho Interior, Cornelius
N. ISliss, of Now York.
Secretary of Agriculture, Jamos Wil¬
son, of Iowa.
The senate confirmed Mr. Sherman
as secretary of state and took a recess.
The other cabinet nominees were re¬
ferred to the proper committees and
they at once took thorn under consul- |
oration ’
The usual custom of the senate is
confirm any man who has been a Clam¬
ber of tho senate, and for that reason
Mr. Sherman’s nomination was imme¬
diately confirmed.
The nominations wore referred ns
follows: Mr. Gage and Mr. Bliss, to
the finance committee; Mr. Alger to
tue committee on military affairs, Mr.
McKenna, to the judiciary committee;
Mr. Gary, to the postoffices and post-
roadsjMr. Long, to naval affairs; Mr..
Wilson to - agriculture.
The senate then, without going out
of executive session, took a recess un¬
til 2 o’clock. When tho senate reas-
sembled all the nominations were con-
firmed without objection,
The first nomination taken up as
soon as tho senate reconvened was
that of Mr. Gage, to be secretary of
the treasury. This nomination caused
considerable discussion, the silver men
of the senate taking occasion to point
0 ut the position of Mr. Gage on the
financial question.
Silver senators who did the talking
said they did not intend to interpose
any objection to the confirmation, but
they wanted to make it plain that
while pledges made by the now admin¬
istration for bimetallism, the now sec-
rotary, they said, was a gold man.
'pj ie other nominations were confirmed
without debate,

“All quiet. No extitement hero

of all Americans imprisoned. Those

Same Important Measures That Cleveland
Hid Not Sign.
A lai'ge number of important bills
failed to receive the signature of Mr.
Cleveland before the expiration of his
term at noon Thursday, and as a re¬
sult they failed to become laws. The
most important of these are the sun¬
dry civil appropriation bill (containing
river harbor and many other items),
the Indian appropriation bill and the
agricultural appropriation bill.
The first three received what is
known as “pocket votes,” being re¬
ceived by the president on March 8
and not acted on. The deficiency ap¬
propriation bill, carrying about $10,-
000,000, failed in conference between
the senate and house.
The bills which failed are as follows:
House bill to set apart certain por¬
tions of lands in the stnto of Washing¬
ton, now known as Pacific forest re-
serves to supply a park, to he known
as Washington National Park.
House hill to permit right of way
through public lands for tramways,
canals, etc.
House joint resolution to prevent
introduction and spread of contagious
and infectious diseases in the United
States.
Senate bill to require patents to be
issued to land settled under an act and
to provide for the settlement of the
peninsular of Florida.
IIouso hill relative to the delivery
of letters in towns and villagoB where
there is no freo delivery.
Sonato hill No. 8,328 to repeal por¬
tions of the timber culture laws, au¬
thorizing the Galveston and Great
Northern railway to construct a rail¬
way through the Indian Territory, and

bills.

March 13, tho election of a senator

Wood has been a republican leader
in Kentucky for many years and i . do
the race for governor against Joun
Young Brown in 1890.
It is the general opinion in Washing¬
ton that the senate will not recognize
Wood’s appointment as valid, taking
ihe ground that the legislature having
had an opportunity to elect in and having
failed to do so, this is effect a de¬
claration that tho senator-making power
desires the seat to become vacant.

PRESIDENTIAL HISTORY.
STORY OF JACKSON’S MARRIAGE.
Self-Made Chief Executives—College Ed¬

Touched Upon.
Two weeks a go Tho Evening Constitution,
in its weekly symposium, asked which one
of the presidents was married twiee to tho
same woman. The answer was given the
succeeding week, and since then I have re¬
ceived a number of letters wanting to know
why.
Doubtless there are a great many more
who have not access to any biography of
Andrew Jackson, and would like to know
wliy lie was twice married to his only wife.
And so for tho diffusion of knowledge it
romaheo is a good of time that to marriage, tell these inquirers with tho
for most
men and women marriage is tho moat im¬
portant event of tlieir life.
liaehol Bonelson was a beautiful, spright¬
ly ami interesting girl—the best horse¬
woman and tho best dnnoei in all tho coun-^.—
try. She married Captain ltolmrds, vrhpf
proved to bo a tyrannical and joftl.Qlig-btis-
bnnd. IIo took her to Kentucky to" live
with his mother, but soon after, in a lit of
jealous Her rage, sent her buck to Nashville.
mother, who was a widow, was keep¬
ing a boarding house, and among her pat¬
rons were General Jackson and Judge Ov¬
erton, both of them high-toned, honorable
gentlemen. his Indeed, the general was noted
for purity of character, his homage and
chivalrous respect for woman. When Cap¬
tain ltobards bathe there to make recon¬
ciliation with his wife, he took offense at
Jackson’s politeness to her. He and Jack-
son had hot words and further trouble was
foaroil. Jackson changed his boarding¬
house and ltobards went hack to Kentucky
and threatened to return and haunt his wife
and make her life miserable. 'To escape his
persecutions she removed to Natchez, where
she hod friends and relatives. In the mean¬
time ltobards applied to tlm legislature of
Kentucky for leave to sue for a divorce, for
that was then tho law. Leave to sue was
granted to him, and it was generally sup¬
posed that he had sued In Kentucky and
had obtained a divorce. Acting on tills be¬
lief, Jackson went to Natchez and married
her.
For two years they lived together in Nash¬
ville n.s man and wlie when to their great
surprise it was discovered that ltobards did
not secure his divorce until a year after her
second marriage. »So Jackson procured an¬
other license and was married to her a second
time. For forty years they enjoyed e.ti hon¬
orable and happy wedlock. His devotion to
iter was intense and Ids pistol was ever
ready to avenge her fair name from scandal,
lie had many political enemies, but ho
taught them early that not w<»n a whisper to
her prejudice would be allowed. JLwicbcl
Donelson was a true and noble woman.
It is a singular fact that live of the first
thirteen presidents married widows. Wash¬
ington set the example and was followed by
Jefferson. Madison and Fiimoro. Tho last
named was married twice and so was
John Tyler. Andrew Johnson's wife taught
him to write after they were married,
nis humble origin and vocation and Ids
rise to the highest office have long been
cited to illustrate tho difference between a
republican and a monarchical government,
hut he was not the only president whose
youth was marked by toil and ignorance.
Fillmore was apprenticed to a wool carder
when he was fourteen years of age and was
hound to the trade for seven years. When
ho was nineteen ho bought his unnerved,
time and bought a dictionary. Ho could
r» ad and write a little, but had not had ac-
cess to any books, for his father had n<#bo
a Bible and a hymn book. He had never
seen a map of the United States nor a copy
of Robinson Cruso. It was like being born
again for a young man of nineteen to begin
to acquire the rudiments of an education.
But lie did it and climbed slowly, but surely,
upward until ho reached the top of the lad-
der. He made a better man than Andrew
Johnson and was far more dignified and
kappler in hlg office. Fillmore became pres-
went because lie was worthy of It. Johnson
wa „ rolled into the office by the tidal wave
of tho civil war. But they were self-mp ’
