Then he had said, with ho king voice: "It shall be ray aim to continue absolutely unbroken the po!i( U h of President McKinley for the roare. prosperity and honor of our be- Icvcd country." Sateurday he left it for his fellow-citizens, who had hon ored him with a greater majority than ever before given, to judge whether or no he had redeemed that pledge. The colonel of the Rough Riders has written of his crowded hour in Cuba. Now h,? showed his former comrades a c rowded hour in Washington. They were waiting for him when be emerged from the White House 30 picked men under Governor Brodie. With the crack squadrcn A of the First Cavalry, United States Army, they formed his escort to the capitol. As they swung around the Treasury building into Pennsylvania avenue a division of the G. A. R.. with General O. O. Howard and staff in the lead, which had been standing at salute, wheeled into the column, while the cavalrymen check ed their pace to accomodate the slow er foot-steps of the aged veterans. A mighty wave of cheers swept along the avenue as the President's carriage came in sight. Throughout the whole route the President, with hat in hand, kept bowing in acknowledgment of the greetings. On his arrival at the capi tol he was conducted to the President's room, in the rear of the Senate cham ber, where he began at once the sign ing of belated hills. At noon he en tered the abode of the Senate to wit ness the installation of Senator Fair banks as Vice President. This cere mony concluded, he proceeded to the stand on the east front of .the capitol to receive the oath from Chief Justice Fuller and to deliver his inaugural ad dress. Immediately upon its conclu sion the President was escorted back to the White House7 where, after lunching with the officials of the inau gural committee, he took his position on the stand in front to review "the fornal inaugural parade. - Gens. Kurooatkin and Mistcheneko at; Odds. London, By Cable The Daily Tele graph's correspondent at Tokio states that the Japanese Colonel Himada was killed at the capture of Seikajo, and that General Klober, commander of the second Manchurian army, was wounded and sent to the hospital e.t Mukden. The correspondent says that General Mistchenko has had a disa greement with General Kuropatkin, and is returning to Russia. Ill n liniin n nri a HI Thc inaugural cost about $65,000, wiheh it is believed has been fuily re paid In the sale of grand stand seats and ball tickets. The guaranty fund subscribed by Washington merchants and business men will thus be return ed. Everything but the actual cere moie3 were in charge of the inaugural committee, composed of Washington residents, ami headed bv Brigadier General John M. Wilson, U. S. A., re tired, appointed for that nurnoso bv Chairman Cortelyou, of the Republican ; national committee. j The broad plaza whose level surfacj stretches east from the national capi tol can a '..-commodate an army. lVr hours Saturday morning Washington poured its own population and a vast increment of visitors into the front yard of the seat of government From the porticos and windows of the capi toi building a good idea of the scope of the multitude could be gathered. Eight acres of humanity spread fan shaped from the focus made by a little covered shelter, open at tho sides, where the President was to stand. Over toward the imposing facade of the Con gressional Library it extended, liter ally a "sea of frees." There may have been only 50,000; probably there were nearer 100,000 in sight of the President when he took the oath. Stands on the central' portico, ex tending to the tribune wherein the cer emony occurred, covered an acre. From the central entrance of the capitol to the seats of honor surrounding the pagoda-like tribune was laid a carpet of crimson plush. Long before the cere monies in the Senate, where Vice Pres ident Fairbanks was taking his oath of oJiice, was concluded, most of the reserved seats had been filled by ticket holders. All in all it was the grandest page ant ever witnessed on American soil. The ceremonies were simple but solemn and impressive. The order was ex cellent, the weather was fine and the exercises were dispatched without a hitch. At a sign from Chief Justice Fuller, the clerk of the Supreme Court step ped forward, holding a Bible. A hush fell over the crowd. The President raised his hand, and the oath to sup port the laws and constitution of the United States was revently taken amid deep silence. When this had teen concluded, there was practically no de monstration, and the President be?an his inaugural address. As soon as he finished speaking, he Ve-entered the capitol, and as he disappeared within the building a signal was flashed to the navy yard, and the roar of 21 guns was begun in official salute to the Presi dent. The expiration of the old Congress and the beginning of the new was wit nessed at noon. Senator Fairbanks took the oath as Vice President and made his address as follows: VICE PRESIDENTS ADDRESS. Senators: I enter upon the discharge of the duties of the position to which I have been called by my countrymen with grateful appreciation of the high honor and with a deep sense cf its ! responsibilities. I have enjoyed the privilege of serving with you here for eight years. During that period we have been engaged in the consideration of many domestic questions of vast im portance and with foreign problems of unusual and farreaching significance. We submit what we have done to the impartial judgment of history. I can never forget the pleasant rela tions which have been formed during my service upon the floor of the Sen ate. I shall cherish them always among the most delightful memories of my life. They warrant the belief that I shall have in the discharge oi the functions which devolve upon me under the constitution the generous assistance and kindly forbearance of both sides of ihe chamber. We witness the majestic spectacle of a peaceful and orderly beginning of an administration of national affairs under the laws of a free and self-governing people. We pray that divine favor may attend it and that peace and progress, justice and honor may abide with car country and our countrymen. Wealthy Former Coal Operator Dead. ; Pittsburg, Special.

Death was due to pneumonia. During the civil war Mr. Dunshee operated ' two large : steamboats on the Mississippi rivei j and was. active in the government ser vice. ' T8E MAMMAL SPEECH j President Roosevelt' Remarks Wera j Brief, Timely and Appropriate. Th Inaugural address is as follows: : My Fellow-Citizens: i ' i No people on earth have more cause j to be thankful than ours, and this Is ! said reverently, in no spirit of boast -I fulness In our own strength, but with j gratitude to the Giver of Good who haa J blessed us with the conditions which j have enabled us to achieve so large a I measure of wflt-tmfns' anrl n,f h A rr.ins To us as a people it haa been granted to lay the foundations of our national life In a new continent. We are the heirs of the ages, and yet we have had to pay few of the penalties which la old coun tries are exacted by the dead hand of a bygone civilization. We have not been obliged to fight for our existence against any alien race; and yet our life has called for the vigor and effort with out which the manlier and hardier vir tues wither away. Under such condi tions it would be our own fault if -we failed; and the success which we have had In the past, the success which we confidently believe the future will bring, should cause in us no feeling of vain-glory, but rather a deep and bid ing realization of all which life ha3 offered us; a full acknowledgement of the responsibility which is ours; and a fixed determination to ghow that under a free government a mighty people can thrive best, alike as regards the things 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. We 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, large 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 gcod will by acting toward them in a spirit of just and generous recognition of all their rights. But justice and gen erosity in a nation, as in an individual, count most when shown not by the weak, but by the strong. When ever careful to refrain from wrongdoing others, we must be no less insistent that we are not wronged ourselves. We wish peace; but we wish the peace of justice, the peace of righteousness. We wish it because we 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 wealthh, 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 sponsibility and danger. Our forefath ers faced certain perils wtfich we have outgrown. WTe now face other perils the very existence of which it was in possible that they should foresee. Modern life is both complex and in tense, and the tremendous changes wrought by the extraordinary indus trial development of the last half cen tury are felt in every fiber of our social and political being. Never before have men tried so vast and formidable an 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 developed to a very high degree our energy, self-reliance and individual initiative, have also brought the care and anxiety inseparable from the ac cumulation of great wealth in indus trial centers. Upon the success of our experiment much depends, not only as regards our own welfare, but as re gards the welfare 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 heavy, 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 the task? set before us differ from the tasks set before our fathers who founded and preserved thi3 republic, the spirit in which these tasks mpst be undertaken and these problem faced if our duty is to be well done, re mains essentially unchanged. We know that self-government Is difficult. Wre know that no people need such 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 men of the mighty past. They did their work, they left us the splendid heritage we now enjoy. We, in our turn, have an 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 who preserved this republic in the days of Abraham Lincoln.

China Protests. Tokio, Special. It is understood that China has lodged a protest against Japan, alleging infringement of Chinese neutrality by the occupa tion of Sinmintin. The government has not indicated its attitude, but it is expected that the reply will declare that Japan is bound to respect the neutrality of North China so long as Russia does so, but that the presence of the Russians in occupying Sinmin tin created a condition of belligerency there, and that the operation was strictly in the nature of a military necessity for the projection of the rights and interests of Japan.

St. Petersburg, Hy Cable The r ult of the greatest battle of nrdem timeH in exctr-d to b det-r mined soon. Although General KurouitM.i has evidently made eery preparation to cover his retresl by moving his accumulated stores and munition northward. It la now the opinion of military men here that one nh!e fir the other cannot eicape an overwhelm ing disaster. Field Marshal Oyama'tt utrategy la this battle is now dear. He natlei and amazed Ihe War Office by the marvelous daring of General Kuroki's advance against the extreme Itustlan left and the series of blows delivered at the center, where no less than 13 separate attacks have been launched by the Imperial Guard ten miles t-ant of PoutlloT Hill. But It In now real Ized that the heavy blows at the left were Intended to mak the real turn Ing movement, which came like a Ndi from a clear ky out of the west. Ku rnpatkln fell Into the trap. The situ ation seemed an exact duplicstc of that at Llao Yang, and the Husnlan commander-in-chief hastened to man forces to meet Kurokl. Fr! lay the whole situation was suddenly reversed when, with lightning rapidity, the Jap anese turning operation began on tho plain between the Hun and thci Ltao rivers. In order to sueceel. Oyama threw the neutrality of China to tho winds. General Nog I with bin Port Arthur veterans moved upon the right bank of the Hun, and fell like an avalanche upon the weakened Russian right, doubling It back In confusion, the Japanese advance being coordinat ed with the advance traiht from the wetst cf a Japanese column of 40.000 men. which circled around or through Chinese neutral territory. But the lat est advices are to the effect that the Japanese, exhausted by that tremen dous efforts, have everywhere stop ped; and now, Jf ever, Kuropatkln's hour has come. Military critics de clare Oyama ba not great enough su periority to take risks. According to the War Office, Oyama has not over 70.000 rnen In excess of Kuropatkin, whose forces total about 340.000. Ku ropatkln's chance, the War OfBce says Is an opportune? offensive, as rasrlve resistance would be fatal. Main Russian Army Doomed. Since Friday night th? Japanese left, which is now extending north and south, haa advanced several miles. The Russians are retreating In great disorder. The Japanese extreme left is now 15 miles northeast of Mukdea and Is advancing rapidly. The escape of the main Russian fort e seems impossible. It is al ready estimated that the Russian have lost over 10,000 rota. Kuropatkin Launches a Blow. St. Petersburg. By Cable.
