Description of the Procession. at J ^ T1 Washington, I). C.? Theodore Roose volt took tho oath of office as twenty sixth President of the United Slates it l-.?r> 7 o'clock in the afternoon. 'here have been better inauguration days in Washington than this, hut they were few and far between. The rain which the Weather Bureau predicted the night before with a safeguarding "probably," to prevent explanations af terward, materialized only In a few light drops in the early morning. There were clouds in the sky at times the rest of the day, but most of the time the sun shone brightly. Everybody was in good humor. Only a hidebound pessimist would not have been. The people on the streets and stands and up at the Capitol and on the big covered structure in front of tin? White House, from which the Presi dent reviewed the parade, told one an other that it was "Roosevelt weather." The effect of the pleasant weather was visible on the crowds that from early in the morning until late at night thronged the streets. (Jood nature pre vailed. Those who had no tickets for the stands went early to points along thd route of the parade and got posi 'tions of vantage close up against the big wire cable that was stretched along both sides of every street over which the inaugural procession passed. It was a tremendous crowd, a good, sterling American crowd. It stretched from Washington Circle, half a mile west of the White House, to the Capi tol, a mile east of the President's man sion, and up and around Capitol Hill to the east front of the Capitol. At many places it was a dozen deep on both sides of the street. How many tens of thousands composed this great swarm of standing humanity it would be useless even to conjecture, ^ More tens of thousands hau^etter filaces on the dozens of big stands and Ittle stands, all of them decorated in red, white and bluej while thousands more Viewed the parade from the win dows of houses along the way.j Nearly everybody had a flag or a Wick tied with red, white and blue ribbons, and these were waveiL wiienever there ap peared to be any'cnll for enthusiasm.. Hom&tops were crowded, too, and the many big trees with which Pennsylva nia avenue is lined were black with delighted small boys. Falrbunki Taken the Oath. Tito, inauguration proper took place nt the Capitol. Here was the tnecca of those fortunate enough to secure the necessary tickets which entitled the holders to admission to the great old hnihling, whose massive dome is visi ble from every section of the city. ? .. The interest was in the Senate wing, for it was in that part of the building, in the famous chamber of the upper house, that the inaugural program was to be begun. The Senate galleries filled rapidly when they were opened to ticket hold ers. Down on (ho floor the Senators sat around and told stories while tliey waited for the ceremonies to begin. The hands of the, clock under the dip lomatic gallery and over the main doorw'ay Indicated n quarter past 11. There was a stir over in the executive gallery. Its swinging doors opened and Mrs. Roosevelt and her children entered, followed by the relatives and Intiuate friVnds whom the President had asked to the ceremony. With the exception of vthe Justices of the Supreme Courtejinnd the members of the House and The President him self, all were In their seats by" 11.30 o'clock. The Justices of the Supreme Court entered In a b'ody at 11.45 o'clock and were announced. The members of the House of Representatives, head ed by their olHeers, ware announced at 11.50. /The Congressional Committee on Arrangements then proceeded to the President's room and notified Mr. Roosevelt tliajt all was tn readiness.

Mr, Frye then ftd ministered the oath to the S'lce-PresU. dent and stepped down from the plat I form, handing the gavel to Mr. Fair* hanks, who in turn called the assem blage to order, and after prayer hy the ehapluiu, delivered a brief address, which referred only to the Senate. Mr. Fairbanks then administered the oath of oltleo to the iWw Senators, after which the entire body proeceded to the rotunda of the Capitol, to the tem porary amphitheatre constructed at the east entrance. Upon coming out Into the open the party were welcomed with song by a chorus of between 300 and <UH) voices? a new departure in ln?uguratlon pro grains. Two songs had been composed by two eminent musicians especially for this occasion. t. 'l'lie I'reiiiteill1* Hour. A scene of singular beauty presented itself when the President and Ids es cort issued from the great bronze doors of the Capitol and strode down the car peted aisle to the *tand on \Vhlch he was to take the oath of office. \ With guidous l.lying, sabres uiM)' hay *>netf?

When the entire assemblage had is sued from the Capitol. Chief Justice Fuller stepped forward, and, the Pres ident having divested himself of hat ami overcoat, stood ,n ml placed his hand on the Bible. In a voice not only audible, but marked with distinct em phasis,' he repeated after the Chief Jus tice the words of the oath, while all aboht him stood with bared heads. It was then precisely 1 o'clock. For fifteen minutes the President ad dressed the assembled multitude in a voice which carried well considering the intensity of the wind, and his per iods were punctuated with enthusias tic applause. Ilis address laid stress upon our many bounties and our duties as citizens to maintain our high stand ard of morals, courage ami ideals. Long before the cheering had died away the President, entered his car riage, drawn by four handsome bays, accompanied by Senators Spooner and Lodge and Representative Dal/.cll, to return to the White House. Next came the carriage of the Vice-President, which was occupied by Mr. Fairbanks. Senator Bacon and Representatives Crumpacker and Williams. '1 he long line of military and civic organizations constituting the inaugural procession then started down the steep hill and along the avenue toward the White House. On his return the President met with a continuous ovation, which he repeat edly acknowledged by rising in his car riage and lifting his hat to the cheer ing thousands along the line of march. At the White House the President and his party found luncheon awaiting thein. Keviewlns: tlio Para<te. The climax of the Inauguration day ceremonies as far as the great mass of spectators .is concerned Is always the review of the great parade by the in coming President. The President's reviewing stann.-In which seats were provided for about 000 persons, was directly north of the White House on the south side of Ex ecutive avenue. In the middle of this stand was the President's box. The column began* to move by the reviewing stand at 2.-15 o'clock and the rear guard did not pass until O.lo. The procession was made up of rep resentative regiments, battalions, bat teries. squadrons of cavalry, ctc., of the regular army, nary and State mili tia. leading Republican marching clubs of the country and a number of schools including some .men from President Roosevelt's own college. Harvard. A detachment of genuine Western cow boys. under Captain Seth BullocWt created much enthusiasm all along the line. The President remained in the reviewing stand until the last organi zation had passed by ami then hurried over to the White House to"* receive the cowboys and the Rough Riders. mu LLI A NT P 1 1{ E WO It K S.

The inaugural address 1b as follows: | My Keljow-Citizens: ' No peopje on earth have more cause j to be thankful thun ours, ami this la { said reverently, in no spirit of boast fulness in our own atr^'J!^, but with ! gratitude to the (iiver of Good who has I blessed us with the conditions which j . have enabled uh to achieve so large a j measure of well-being and of happiness, j J To us as a people it has been granted to I 1 lay the foundations of our national life I j in a new continent. We are the helm of 1 the ages, and yet we have bad to pay few of the penaltlca which in old coun i tries are exacted by the dead hand of a 1 I bygone civilization. We have not been j obliged to fight for our existence I against any alien race; and yet our life | has called for the vigor and effort with j oift which the manlier and hardier vir tues wither uway, .Under such condi tions it would befoul* own fault if we failed; ami the success which we have bad in the past, the success which we confidently belitVVe the future will bring, should cau^e in us no feeling of vain-glory, but rather a deep and bid ing realization of all which life has offered us; a full acknowledgement of the responsibility which is ourS; and a fixed determination to show that under a free government a mighty people can I thrive best, alike as regards the things I of the body and the things of the soul. MUST B7 FRIENDLY. Much has been given to us, and much will rightfully be expected from us. We have duties to others and duties to our selves; and we can shirk neither. Wo 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 peo ple with such responsibilities/ Toward all other nations, larR? and small, our attitude must be one of cordial and sin cere friendship. We must show not only in our words, but in our deeds that we are earnestly desirous of securing their good will by acting toward them In a spirit of just and generous recognition of all their rights. But justice and gen erosity it? a nation, as in an individual, count most when shown not by tho weak, but by the strong. When ever careful to refrain from wrongdoing others, we must be no less insistent that we are not. wronged ourselv.es. Wo wish peace; but. we wish the peace of justice, the peace of righteousness. We wish it because \\? think it Is right and not because we are afraid. No weak na tion that acts manfully and justly should ever have cause to fear us, and no strong power should ever be able to single us out as a subject for inso lent aggression. OUR RELATIONS AMONG OUR SELVES, Our relations with the other powers of the world are important; but still more important are our relations among ourselves. Such growth in wealtlih, in population and in power as this nation has seen during the cen tury and a quarter of its national life is inevitably accompanied by a like growth in the problems which are ever before every nation that rises to great ness. Power invariably means both re- k sponslbillty and danger. Our forefath ers faced certain perils which we have outgrown. We now face other perils the very existence of which it was in possible that they should foresee. Modern Iffe is both complex arid in tense, and the tremendous changes wrought hy the extiaordlnary . ianUis trial development of the last half':^en tury are felt in every fiber of our social and political being. Never before have men tried' so vast and formidable au experiment as that of administering the affairs of a continent under the forms of a democratic republic. The conditions which have told for our marvelous material well-being, which have dovedoped to a very high degree our energy, self-reliance and individual initiative, have also bright the care and anxiety inseparable from the ac cumulation of great wealth in indus trial centers. Upon the success of our experiment much dcpcuds, not only as regards our own welfare, but as je gards the welJare of mankind, if we fail, the cause of free self-government throughout the world will rock to its foundations; and, therefore, our re sponsibility is he^vy, to . ourselves, to the world as it is today, and to the generations yet unborn. There is no good reason why we should fear the fu ture, but there is every reason why we should face it seriously, neither hiding from ourselves the gravity of the prob lems before us nor fearing to approach these problems with the unbending, un flinching purpose to solve them aright. Yet, after all. though the problems are new, though tho tasks set before us differ from tho tasks set before our fathers who founded and preserved this republic, tho spirit in which these tasks mpst be undertaken and these problems faced if our duty is U> be well done, re mains essentially unchanged. We know that self-government is dlfficuj^ We know that no people need sucnt high traits of character as that people which seeks to govern Its affairs aright through the freely expressed will of the freemen who compose It. But we have faith that, we shall not prove false to the memories of the mcn'of the mighty past. They did their work, they left us the splendid heritage we. now enjoy., We, in our turn, havo au assured con fidence that we shall be able to leave this heritage unwasted and enlarged to 'our children and our children's chil dren. To do so we must show, not merely In great crises, but In the every day affairs of life, the qualities of prac tical Intelligence, of courage, of hard ihood 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 Washing ton, which made great the men why preserved this republic in the days of Abraham Lincoln.

The message said there were grains of" the poison in the bottle. A physician 4of high standing, commenting on tho news, said that was enough to cause 0(12 deaths. Oiic-llftoonth of a grain, he said, was the largest dose that could bo given with safety, the average .fuantlty taken at one time for medicinal pur poses being one-fortieth of a grain. All Mr".

Tlu> most that the war critics at St I '< *t ersburg seem to hopo for at present is that General Kuroputkin lias succeeded in reestablishing his lino of retreat in the direction of Har bin. Word has reached Now Chwang, however, without confirmation from other sources, that the Japanese \nro already north of Mukdea with a laVgifc force and that the Russians are fac ing a disastrous defeat. There appears to h#' a possibility that Koneral Ku rokl has drawn off a portion of his army from the center and sent it to reinforce the divisions engaged in Hanking movements. General kaul hars, tin* most Iruslcd of General Ku lopatkin's officers, Is personally in command of tho Russian forces in i!iv triangle between the railway and the Hun River, which vital position the Japanese have been assailing for fe\eral days.

Russian View c>k Situation. St. Petersburg, lly (!uhle ? 1*he re sult of the greatest battle of modc:#i times is expected to be determined soon. Although General Kuropatjjtn has evidently made every preparation to cover bis retreat by moving his accumulated stores and fmiulllonu northward, it is now the opinion of military men here that one side or t he other cannot escape an overwhelm ing disaster. Field Marshal Oyama's strategy in this battle is now clear. Ho stalled and amazed the \Vtfr Office by thO marvelous daring of General Kuroki's advance against, the extreme Russian left and the series of blows delivered at the center, where no less than 13 separato attacks havo b^cn launched by the Imperial Guards ten miles east of Poutlloff Hill. Hut it is now reab Ized that the heavy blows at. tho left were Intended to mask the real turn ing movement, which came like a bolt from a clear sky out of the weati---Ku? ropatkln fell Into tho trap: The situ ation soemeel an exact duplicate of that at J4?o Yang, and tho Russian commandc^f-in-chief hastened to mass ... fofces to meet Ktirokl. Friday the ?\vnolo situation was suddenly reversed when, with lightning rapidity, the Jap anese turning operation began on the plain between tho Hun and the Llao"' rivers. In order to sttccced, O yarn a threw the neutrality of China to the wlnj^s. Goneral Npgi with his Port Artnur veterans moved upon the right bank of the Hun, and fell like an avalanche upon the weakened Russian right, doubling it back in confusioit,' the Japanese advance being co-ofrdipat ed with the advance straight from tho , west of a Japanese column of 40,000 men, which circled around or through Chineso neutral territory. But the lat ent ad vices are to the effect Japanese, exhausted by that tremern dons efforts, have everywhere stop ped; and now', If over, Kurnpatkln's hour has eofpo. Military critics de clare Oyama has not great enough su periority to take risks. According to tho War Office, Oyama has not over 70,000 men in excess of Kuropatkin, whose forces total about 340,000. Ku- . ropat kin's chance, the War Office says Is an opportune offensive, as passive' resistance would be fatal. ' Main Russian Army Doomed.
