' The immense throngs of .people and great ci vie and jnilitary demonstrations which attended and distinguished the inauguration ceremonyj; yesterday were successful and indeed- rilliant to a de gree gar surpassing tlv? expectations of the most sanguine probers of the pre liminary arrangement and was the suo ject of profuse expressfioni of prajse by the thousands of visitors vvho were here Fwvm fill nnrts tt the State. - ' a c-eneral hurry and bustle pervaded I the citr from early morning, steadily in- j creasing as regular and epecial train rolled into the Union depot and the rnrongs pmireu imu jiaum aui uuja.tni I streets ail bent upon securing scrae ad I var.tagto'is stand wnere they could best eview the military demonstration and itness the inaugural" ceremony. Almost everv train brought in one or more military companies and the con stant tramp of troops, the sharp com numds of officers an- rAttlo of arms in military menouvers imparted to the stir ring scene a martial air which was es pecially pleasing. Welcoming tbe Partr It lacked a few minutes of 11 o'clock when the special train from Goldsboro rolled into Union station wMth ixovernor elect Ayeoek and party with civic aba military escort. The mammoth station shed, the spacious depot, waiting rooms, and the adjacent streets for a square away were literally jammed with peo ple, the men elbowing each other good naturally and cheering lustily for the new governor, and the ladies waving handkerchiefs and. giving vent to. their pent-up enthusiasm in the freest possi ble manner. The sneeial escort to the srovernor's party from Goldsboro to Raleigh consist- J ed of the legislative and citizens com mittees who went to Goldsboro for the purpose on the "previous evening, and the Goldsboro Rifles.

Procentioa. to Slausion i'From the train the governor and party proceeded to the front of the depot where carriages elaborately caparisoned were in awaiting to carry mem to tue man sion where they were to rest for a little while before proceeding to th place of inauguration. Tli Goldsboro baud and two military companies also marched to the mansion with the governor as his military escort throughout the day, winniug for them selves, too, by their splendid deportment hi;rh praise from the people generally. After a short -resting spell" t the mansion the governor-elect and escort proceeded to the place of inauguration, the incidents attendant upon which are given in a previous section of this re port. x THE MILITABy DEMONSTRATION .Host BrIHIaut Parade Erer Seeu at an Inauguration Here The military demonstration in connec tion with the inauguration ceremonies -was the largest and most brilliant .ever seen here in connection with a guberna torial inauguration. There were at least 1,000 men in line consisting of twenty companies including the four companies of the A. & M. Col lege battalion which, by the way made an especially creditable showing in the parade and general military maneuver?. The military - were under the com mand of Colonel Harry Perry, of Hen derson and Adjutant C. Li. McGhee, of Franklinton, both members of the Third regiment, State Guard, and to their abil ity as commanding officers as well as to the well drilled Condition of the various companies is due much credit for . the brilliant success of the military features of the day which were really the chief feature of the general demonstration attendant upon the inauguration. As fast as the military companies ar rived yesterday morning they - were es corted first to the armory of the ival eigh Light Infantry and from there to positions on Fayctteville street to be in readiness tlje formation of the battal ions when the hour for the inauguration arrived. Tiie companies were formed into four battalions on Fayetteville, Between Da vie and Cabarrus streets fd. proceeded shortly after noon down "Fayetteville street to the capitol, thence down luor gau to Wilmington street and down Wil mington in front of the inauguration platform - The entire procession passed the grand stand, the. line extending from the north side of Capitol Square nearly to Peace Institute. : The inaugural ceremonies were in (Continued on Second Page.) p.- Various Matters .Under Dis cussion Yesterday THE ARMY BILL AGAIN Resolution to Print Petition of Filipinos Referred De bate on : Army Reorganiza tion Continues , i-tT . . ' -r t a iV.a nnpnins Washington, Jan. lo.-At the opening granting, a pension of $50 a month to Horatio N. Davis, father of the late Senator Davis of Minnesota, was pass ed. Mr. Davis ;Was a captain in the commissary department. At the conclusion of the routine busi ness) Mr, Morgan, chairman of the Committee on Inter-Oceanic Canals, asked unanimous consent that a final vote upon the Nicaraguan Canal bill and its amendments be taken 'up at 5 p. in., February 11. Mr. Daniel objected. A bill authorizing the United New Jer sey Railroad . and, Canal Company and the Philadelphia and Reading Company to construct a ' bridge -over the Dela ware river at Trenton, N. J., was pass ed. An act to create a division in the Western Judicial District of Missouri passed. . . , , A resolution presented a few days ago by Mr. Teller providing for the print ing as a public document of the petition of 2,00t Filipinos, offered to the Sen ate, was laid before-the. Senate. Mr. Stewart declared his opposition to the resolution on the ground that it was an "untruthful recital of the conditions in the Philippines."" He discussed at lensth the situation on-the islands, de claring that the-treachery of Aguiaaldo bfts heeri establtshetf-Mr authentic docu ments" end that any. petition or srppeal j sent , here by such people was wnwortny of consideration because they did not conie: with clean hands. The petition, he said, contained every possible ; threat against the United States. In view of it, Congress .ought speedily to rass - me Army bill. "The government has been defied, de clared Mr. Stewart. "We cannot pos sibly hesitate to put down this rebellion and vindicate the honar of the, Unital surrender on the part of the United J Slate: This is simply a ueuiauu States in the form of a petition. It is a wicked conspiracy and ought to be piit' down." Mr. Ilerry said the appeal was phras ed in respectful language, was splen didly written, and fully represented the aspirations of the great body of the peo ple of the islands. He was of the opin ion, that the Senate could not afford to rei'nse to make public the appeal by printing it. While he was on the floor Mr. Horry discussed an . amendment to the Army bill, which he offered yester day. ' The amendment authorizes the Presi dent to disclaim an intention to exercise sovereignty over the Philippines except for pacification and then to ieaie 'the islands to the control of their people. .Sfter directing attention to the fact that this w-as the wording of the resolu- j lution passed by Congress with refer- eiice to Cuba, Mr. Berry expressed the belief that its incorporation into law would absolutely end the Filipino revo lution within teu days. The adoptionof his amendment, he urged, would place the United States upon the highest plane of magnanimity and would oeuon strate that this country "as the greatest and most generous in the world. The United States could, if it chose, exterminate the Filipino people, but, he inquired, "what honor can come to us from the pursuit of such a helpless peo ple';" He urged, in conclusion, that an effort be made to stop the "horrors of this unjust Avar."' Mr. Lodge said as it was most un usual for the names signed to a petition to be printed, and as the resolution pending included the names, he thought it ought to be referred to a committee. On his motion the resolution, was re ferred to the Committee on the Philip pines. Mr. Teller said he would expect a re port from the committee and if one were not made he would know how to get it. Consideration of the Array Reorgani zation bill was resumed informally, Mr. Pettus, Mr. Bate and Mr. Cockrell, Democratic members on the Committee on Military Affairs, making statements in opposition to the measure. Mr. Pettus said he regarded a large standing army as "the greatest threat to the liberties of a republic that could be made by mortal man." Mr. Cockrell made it clear that he was opposed to the authorization of ft large standing army in the pending measure, and declared his intention to yote .against it. He believed it to be the duty of Congress, however, to pass the bill as speedily as was consonant with iwroper debate. He. pointed out that de lay in the passage o the bill would seri ously enibaraes the government , in the transportation of troops to andv from the Philippines. Mr. Carter, one of the Republican members of' thai Military Committee, said the bill had the best thought of the committee without considerations of partisanship. While certain Senators had reserved the right to vote against the bill, there was a general agreement upon the scheme of organization. Mr. Sewell, also h member of the Mili tary Committee, made an appeal to the Senate for early action upon the bill,. I indicating that further deky would be not only embarrassing to the govern ment, but enormously expensive. In con clusion, he said, he would move at the the earliest moment to lay the pend ing amendment of Mr. Bacon upon the table. .' . Mr. Bacon withdrew the amendment ho. offered yesterday and . proposed the amendments he offered ori gin ally V the amendments in striking out of the bill i the words "conferring upon the Presi dent power .-to. .increase from tbe mini mum to the maximum limit the strength of the infantry, artillery and cavalry arms of the service,' These amendments Mr. Bacon dis cussed at length. Mr. Foraker argued that the proposed legislation was not contrary to, but in conformity with the precedents of pre vious legislation, and he quoted stat.t:s of 1855 and 18b't ttf sustain his position. Mr. Scott asked Mr. Bacon whether in the last election -the Am.eiican people qnestioa of an army of 100,000. Mr. Bacon replied in the negative. A colloouy between him and Mr. Hanna as to the issues of the last presidential campaign was indulged in. ' Then a motion was made by Mr. Proc tor to lay Mr. Bacon's amendment on tbe table and the motion was agreed to. Mr. Teller argued against the abdica tion of the power of Congress over the strength of the army and against the delegation of that power to the presi dent. He wound up a long speech ' in these words : "It is possible that the proposed in crease .in the army has some connection with the change that seems to be taking place in this country,. It is not impossi ble that the cry of imperialism may have ground; that it is feared that im perialism will not suit the people, and that therefore a great army is needed to; put down the anarchists, the revolu tionists and, the insurrectionists, not in the Philippines Islands, but at home." Mr". Warren, a member of the Mili tary Committee, argued in support of the bill and the increase of the army. At the close of today's session a pro position was made by Mr. Allison that the Senate meet at 11 o'clock toniorrow mornnig. ' . Objection was made by Mr. Jones of Arkansas on account of a meetuig of his committee tomorrow and Mr, Petti grew, ivho expressed (he opinion that a vote on the bill would be reached in. a few days. - After, an . executive' session the ,Sen- B ate at 5)0 adjourned unfit tomorrow. . DIGNITY OF THE HOUSE Tltmbert Complnln of Infringemen t oa th Part et the Senate Washington, Jan. 15. House. When the House met at noon Mr. Bingham, from the Committee on Appropriations, asked immediate consideration for the Senate joint resolution to enable the sec retary of tho Senate to pay necessary expenses of theinaugural ceremonies of the -President and .Vice President, on March 4, 1001. In .reply to question by Mr. Richard son, Mr. Bingham said the resolution was identical with that adopted four, years ago. The Appropriation is -for the purpo'se of erecting, a . platform J-at the e:ist front of the capitol and for provid ing seats and tickets therefor. Mr. Dalzell thought the House was not properly recognized under the terms of the resolution, the ceremonies to be in charge of a. committee of the Senate. Mr. Richardson Does the gentleman not know that this has always been the plan followed? , Mr. Dalzell Yes, sir; but the time has come to make a change. Mr. Richardson I hope the gentleman from Penuslyvania will insist upon his position. . Mr. Dalzell I am informed that the plan of ignoring the House was not adopted until four years ago. I think we ought not to vote the $7,000 called for in this resolution unless the VHouse be duly recognized on we committee of arrangements. Mr. Gaines wanted to know if in the matter of these stands visitors to Wash ington were-to bo 'Vohbed by sharks.'' Mr. Bingham This is the official stand and there is no connection between these stands and the street stands. Mr. Hepburn said that he thought the House should be divorced from the mat- ter of the inauguration of the vice pres ident. That was of exclusive interest to the Senate. He w-puld oppose a joint participation in the inaugural ceremonies other than those in connection w-ith the inauguration of the President. Mr. Grow took tho same position on the ground that formerly the inaugural ceremonies were held in the Senate.' Mr. Dalzell , moved to . recommit l( the resolution to the. Committee on Appro ' priations with instructions to report a resolution making an appropriation for certain expenses connected with the in auguration of the president, the program for which shall be prepared and carried out by a joint committee of the two houses of Congress. The motion to re commit prevailed. - - The House then went into Committee of the Whole and resumed consideration of the River and Harbor Appropriation bill. - ' ' Mr. Moon of Tennessee, Mr. -Sncd-gress of Tennessee and Mr. Richardson f Alabama, made persistent efforts to secure some ameudmc-ntS relating to -the Tennessee river, but they - ws? re rpeat edl v voted .down. - Mr. King of Utah, nndr the latitude allowed in debate criticised his Demo cratic colleagues for supporting Immense river and harbor bills because they hap pened to contain what he termed "pork" in which , they ; were interested.

A particularly pleasant incident, how ever, occurred when Senator - Wqodard introduced a resolution thanking the re tiring lieutenant governor for his uniform fairness and courtesy to. the Senate. The testimony given by several of the most prominent Senators was suca as .w reflect credit upon any man in -that po- j sition, and the hearty . handshakes and expressions of good will tendered to Mr. Reynolds n aturally ' awoke tender mem ories and grateful feelings in his breast, If the Senators, all of them, are to be believed, Charles Reynolds has made an admirable . presiding officer , of the highest deliberative body in the State of North Carolina. And those who know, and have for years known him, will say that he deserves much credit for win ning the encomiums bestowed upon him yesterday so liberally. It is noteworthy that a bill to estab lish the much mooted and greatly needed reformatory for young degenerates was introduced in the Senate yesterday. This bill, or one like unto it, should pass by all means. Senator Woodard made a lauda-le attempt to require-all measures intro duced hereafter to be , typewritten, hut the manner in which hiscolleagnes ap parently, regarded it did . not encourage the introducer and its friends.
