INAUGURATION CEREMONIES
' Amidst Pomp and Splendor Pres
ident Begins Second Term.
CAPITOL LITERALLY THRONGED
Though Hatred Somewhat By the
Elements inaugural Program
Brilliantly Carried Out.
A Washington special says: Monday
at noon, William McKinley, of Ohio,
was iuducted into tbe presidential
office - belu ff the el K bth »u the lllustn
ous line of presidents of the United
States thus honored by the American
people with a second term.
Simultaneously, Theodore Roose
velt, of New York, became vice presi
dent of the United States.
During the early hours of the morn
ing, and even well into the day the
prospect was certainly discouraging.
At 3 o’clock a. nr., adrizzhng rain was
falling, aud at sunrise the clouds hung
so thickly that the orb of day was
scarcely visible. About 8 o'clock the
clouds began to break, aud in the
course of an hour broad beams of sun
light swept the avenue, the variations
from the light to shadow, as the clouds
scudded rapidly over the sky under
the influence of a northwest wind,
adding variety to the pictures. On
the whole the weather promised to re
deem the pledge of the weather bureau
that the weather would be glorious,
the temberature being mild and broad
stretches of blue sky appearing as the
sun forced its way through the clouds.
The parade that followed President
McKinley on his return from the cap
itol to the white house and passed in
review there before him, was different
from all its predecessors in the ma
jestic predominance of the military
feature. The civil contingent was
quite up to tho average in numbers,
yet by actual count made by the mar
shals the soldiers outnumbered the
civilians in line by more than three to
one. In blue were many soldiers who
had carried the country’s flag out into
the world, and had waged a war which
was all in the future when the last in
augural procession marched along
Pennsylvania avenue.
Witb these y° un 8 veterans, and in
the P ! ace of boD or ’ 08 ' he P resident ’8
! e8 “ r ’ marcbed 1 mother contingent
! made np e “* ,r ? ly , °! 8<ddle ’ 8 of be
civil At their . head marchol u , the
war.
[ Rough Rider baud.
i j’ 0 r the first time in n quarter of a
century the president rode from the
white house to the capitol without a
successor beside bim in bis carriage,
Grant was the last of the presidents of
the United States up to this time to
occupy a similar position. President
McKinley had for his companions in
his carriage members of the committee
specially chosen by congress to take
charge of the inauguration, headed by
Senator Hanna.
The nations of the world, great and
small, paid their tribute to the presi
dent in attendance at the ceremonies
at the capitol and in reviewing the
great parade.
The navy was represented in the
^ceremonies before. Half more numerously than ever
a dozen warships, more
than have assembled in the Potomac
since the civil war, contributed
through their sailors and marines one
of the most unique J and enjoyahle
feotureg o{ the remon / y, marching
over a tbougan(1 Btron “ Down 0 „
the water frout lay th famoufl o]d
flagship Hartford, while at the navy
yard floated the double-turreted mom
tor Puritan. Further down the Po
tomae lay other vessels unable to get
up the river to Washington, but whoso
crews swelled the'list of paraders.
Sixteen states of the union—north,
0ast - BO,nh and west—were represen
ted b J their governors, most of them
accompanied by numorons staff's.
Though worn and weary the legisla
tive branch of the national govern
meut faithfully executed its partin
the day’s ceremonies. The protracted
sessions of the last few days, involving
work day and night, imposed severe
physical strains upon the senators and
representatives, yet when the time
came to close up the task of legislation
and turn to the inauguration of the
president, all was in readiness in the
capitol.
Presideut McKiuley was sworn in at
1:17 p. m„ on a handsomely decorated
stand at the east end of the capitol, in
the presence of a surging multitude.
The dense undulating throng filled
all tho winding walks, the broad ave
uues and radiating streets, overflow
mg into thousands into the sweep of
lawn anil even seeking the tree tops
points of vantage.
Quite as many women were in the
throngs as men, wearing bright hats
and gay gowns, mingling with the
color of hundreds of tiny flags waved
aloft on canes. Over towards the con
gresstonsl library the seething mass

RESULTED IN A MISTRIAL.
No Verdict In Gennral l nderxrood’t Salt
Against Confederate Veteran.
The suit of John C. Underwood
•gainst S. A. Cunningham, editor of
the Confederate Veteran, and the
Methodist Publishing House, for
$50,000 damages, which had been in
progress the past week in Nashville,
terminated in a mistrial. Judge Clark
charged the jury, but the body was un
able to agree and were discharged.

DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF PIERCE COUNTY.
BLACKSHEAR. GA., THURSDAY. MARCH 7. 11)01.
was banked tier on tier on the marble
steps.
Just before 1 o’clock a drizzling
sleet, with hail, began to fall and over
the sea of heads were countless um
brellas, some of them of fantastic color
and patriotic hue. The sky turned
somewhat gray to black and the sigus
looked ominous. But the crowd held
its ground unmindful of the lowering
sky and slanting hail.
It was just 1 o’clock when the official
party come through the main doorway
of the capitol. All eyes were strained
toward the distinguished group as
they appeared. Usnally the president
comes among the first, but. on this
occasion there was entire change and
instead of having the president wait
until all the officials were in place the
presidential party did not appear until
all the invited guests had assembled
and everything was in readiness to
administer the oath.
By this time the Imil had turned in
to a steady drizzle of rain making the
officials and the ambassadors shift un
easily under the downpour.
When tlio special guests had been
ushered to their seats there was a mo
mentary lull and silence fell upon the
great concourse as it strained to catch
the first glimpse of the president.
As President McKinley stepped out
on the portico in full view of the wait
ing multitude, a great cheer went up.
The president bowed bis acknowledg
ments of the greeting. With him was
Chief Justice Fuller, prepared to ad
minister the oath.
Through the lines of senators and
officials, all standing to do him honor,
the president proceeded to the central
pavilion, going forward to the railing
and facing the vast assemblage at
close range, again and again bowing
his acknowledgment to the tremend
ous cheers from 40,000 throats. Then
he turned and shook hands with Vice
President Roosevelt, while another
great cheer went up as the two contral
figures, McKinley and Roosevelt,
stood out above the crowd.
Now again and a deep hush fell up
on the assemblage ns the president and
the chief justice advanced to the cen
ter of the paviliou.
The president removed his hat and
then he raised his right hand. In tho
iuteuse stillness faintly could he heard
the solemn words of the oath to main
tain inviolate the constitution and
laws of the United States. He spoke
in a strong voice, easily heard by those
near tho front of the stand. Ilis face
looked very grave as the oath was pro
nounced. There was no demonstration
as he concluded the oath. Now ho
turned again to the people and advanc
ing to the rail of the pavilion began
his inaugural address.
As the president spoke the pent-up
clouds gave out their full force and
the pelting rain came down in sheets,
throwing u watery veil over the drip
ping multitude. Under bis pavilion
the president was well protected, and
there was no faltering in tho address
as the down-pour continued.
As he raised his voice in a resound
ing phrase for “Free Cuba” there was
a shout of approval, aud frequently he
paused to allow some well-turned sen
tence to receive its tribute of popular
approval.
As tho president closed bis address
the vice president and many senators
grasped his hand in congratulation.
Then he returned to the capitol, pro
ceeding to the senate wing, where a
lunch had been spread in the com
mittee room of the committee on mili- 5
joined tary affairs. by Here the president was j
the vice president, the in 5
augural committee, distinguished offi
cers of tho army and navy and a number
of senators and other iDviteil guests,
Half an hour was spent in taking re
freshments.
Soon after the booming of cannon
and blare of bugles announced that the
president was ready to proceed to the
white house and the time had come for
the marching hosts to move, column
swung Zna into position. j

A Washington Special says: After
consuming, with some outside aid,
more than twelve hours of succeeded time Sen
ato r Carter, of Montana, in
talking to Heath the river and harbor
pm. The Montana senator made the
defeat of this bill the climax to his
senatorial career for two reasons; One
was the desire to get some advertise
ment out of the business, and the oth
er was undoubtedly the desire to please
some of the high officials in the hope
that he himself may hereafter receive
more substantial benefits than those
w hich coma from personal praise.
