The inauguration of President Roosevelt was made a festal ceremony in Washington. The decorations throughout the city were more elab- orate and beautiful than on the occa- sion of any previous presidential in- auguration. Twice as many flags were used this year by the inaugural | committee as ever were used before i and the splendor of the scheme adopt- !ed for the city’s adornment never has | been surpassed. Karly in the day Pennsylvania ave- 'nue was thronged with people. | Hemmed in by wire ropes stretched on both sides of the avenue the entire | length of the route of the parade the {erowd was banked ten deep on the sidewaiks. Gorgeously uniformed baunds lent splashes of color to the somber scenes in the shifting multi- tudes. Comparatively few in the great crowd witnessed the ceremonies inci- dent to the actual inauguration of the president or of the vice president. Tens of thousands remained for hours on the avenue quite content to catch a fleeting glimpse of the two men upon whom the attention of the nation Wwas centered. President Starts for Capitol.

A great cheer went up from the watch- ing multitude, a. cheer that was echoed and re-echoed by the crowd far down the avenue. President Roosevelt en- tered a magnificent open landau, drawn by four s beautifully matched bay horses. With the president on the rear seat sal Senator Spooner of ‘Wisconsin and opposite them sat Sen- ator Lodge of Massachusetts and Rep- Tesentative Dalzell of Pennsylvania. President Roosevelt was smiling and chatting animatedly with those accom- panying ‘him. - To several friends standing near the White House en- trance he bowed: cordially. Senator Fairbanks enteredihe second carriage accompanied by iSenator Bacon of Georgia and Reprggnlatives Williams of Mississippi and‘iCrumpacker of In- diana, the remainiig members of the inaugurzal committeée. Members of the cabine® entered other carriages and itol. As the president entered the Cap- itol the Fifty-eighth congress was in the throes of dissdlution. He entered tae president’s rdom in- the senate wing. Bills already were awaiting his approval and senators and representa- tives also were awaiting him to urge the signing of meagures in which they were interested. " i Vice President Takes the Oath. Shortly before noon Mrs. Roosevelt, accompanied by ‘members of the Roosevelt family and visiting friends, were hurried along Pennsylvania ave- nue to the Capitol in carriages. - Mrs. Fairbanks and her family and house guests preceded Mrs. Boosevelt only a short time. They Teached the execu- tive gallery in time to witness the finai work of the congress. The galleries were mniasses of bril- liant colors. Shortly betore noon, onc after another, the diplomatic corps, the supreme court and the nmembers of the house of representatives were an- nounced. They took plces reserved for them. Then Vice President-el Fairbauks was announced. Following him President Roosevelt, the president- elect, was announced. “The ceremony was coldly formal but impressive. After an expectant hush the oath of office was adminis- tecred to Vice President Fairbanks by Senator Frye of Maine, president pro tempore. The new: vice president de- livered a brief inaugural address, to which close heed was given. Then he administered the oath of office to ~the: senators-elect and, ™ Wi a tap <ol his gavel, the Fifty-eighth congress came to a close. Meantime the people left the galler- fes and went in procession to the east frout of the Capitol, where the inau- guration of President Roosevelt took placs. From the stand erected there one looked down upon Forty Thousand Upturned Faces —a mass of humanity almost covering the broad plaga. Finally those on the stand were seated. There was a pause and then a mighty cheer burst from the great . concourse as President Roosevelt appeared on the stand. He acknowledged the ¢ /ation with digni- ged courtesy. The cheering ceased as Chief Justice Fuller, his silvered hair falling over his silk and ermine robe, stepped upon the dais. He held in his hand a Eible. Mr. Roosevelt stood op- posite him, alert, but composed. The president solemnly repeated the oath after the chief justice and then stooped and kissed the book. As he lifted his head he flashed one glance towards Mrs. Roosevelt and then faced the great multitude. Again that thril- ling, soul-stirring shout went up. Then the crowd pressed yet closer to hear the inaugural address. In a short time President Roosevelt was in the avenue returning jo the White House. His carriage was sur- rounded by his faithful rough -riders and his way was cleared by the bril- liant Squadron A. The president stood in the carriage much of the time, how- ing right and left in acknowledgment of the gracious enthusiasm which his appearance aroused. He returned to the White House and after a light luncheon reviewed, surrounded by his family, his personal friends, his cab- inet and hundreds of distinguished vis- itors, the magnificent pa:rflde formed in his honor. LITTLE BUSINESS ON HAND. President Promptly Disposes of Bills Ready to Sign. President Roosevelt arrived at the Capitol building about 10 o’clock and was enthusiastically cheered as he entered. There were S0 many cameras in the. driveway leading immediately to the Capitol and so clése did their operators press that the | sident him- self directed the secret service men to clear the space beside the carriage as it proceeded up Capitol hill. The carriage which bore Vice Presi- dent-elect Fairbanks closely followed | that of the president and he, too, was cheered. Mr. Fairbanks was as gra- cious as the president in acknowledg- ing these enthusiastic salutes as he proceeded to the Capitol. A squad of Capitol palice, headed by Sergeant-at-Arms Ransdell, pre- ceded the party through the marble room to the president’s room. Senator Fairbanks abandoned the party as it passed the door of the vice president’s room and entered his new office. = Slgl’li AN Bills.

LINE PRESIDENT _LEADS INAU.EURAL PARADE FROM CAPITOL TO WHITE HOUSE. President Roosevelt led -his inau- gural parade, with nearly 30,000 men in line, in quick marching time from the Capitol to the White House. No president in recent years has been as prompt in moving from one: end of the avenue to the other. The troops marched in ideal weather, the sky be- ing clear, the sun warm and a fair breeze blowing. The president lost no time in formalities. He descended the steps which were put in place in front of the inaugural stand and took his carriage without re-entering the Cap- itol. The inaugural march began at 1:20 o'clock and as the president’s carriage proceeded through the Cap- itol grounds the vast throng hastily placed itself on either side of the line of march and cheered without ceas- ing. The procession moved slowly and Mr. Roosevelt, in acknowledging the salutes from either side, rose to his feet repeatedly and with his silk hat in his hand bowed to the right and left. No incident marred in the slightest de- gree the inaugural procession as it left the scene of the inaugural address and proceeded down past the peace monument and towards the White House on the broad avenue. The procession formed 1mmediately behind the carriages of the presiden- tial party and, in the order previously arranged, marched from the Capitol. Many times along the line of march the president arose in his carriage and lifted his hat. .A broad smile lit up his face and it was easy to see the cheers of the admiring throngs greatly pleassd him, i oSk ] Spectacular Feature of the Day. The splendid triumphal pageant, pre- ceded by a platoon of mounted police, moved up the avenue amid the frantic applause of the thousands who packed the line of march on.either side to view the spectacular and public fea- ture of the day. The platoon of police who led the way put their horses ahead in a rapid gallop in order to clear the avenue of the thousands who, with difficulty, were kept on the curb- ing behiud the ropes. The Fifth artil- lery band followed the platoon of po- lice and in stirring time led the on- coming marchers. Major General James F. Wade, the chief marshal, with a splendidly uni- formed staff representing each staff corps of the army, led the military division. Iremost in the line were the pets of the army and navy, the West Point cadets and the “middies” from Annapolis, with the District of Columbia national guard, which has come to be looked upon as almost a part of the regular army organization. Porto Rico was well represented in the parade. Major Thomas W. Grif- fith of the regular army commanded the battalion of Porto Rico provisional troops which came all the way from their island home to participate in the presiient’s inaugural. More uausual, however, was the sight of the First battalion of Philippine scouts, Major ‘W. S. Johnston, U. S. A., commanding, who were chosen to represent the ar- chipelago in the first inaugural parade in which these little brown men of the Far East have participated. Arriving at the White House the parade rested until the president fin- ished luncheon, when he entered the reviewing stand and the line of march was resumed. THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS PRESIDENT SPEAKS OF THE RE- SPONSIBILITIES OF THE NA- TION AND ITS PEOPLE. My fellow citizens: No people on earth have more cause to be thankful than ours, and this is said reverently, in no spirit of boastfulness in our own strength, but with gratitude to the Giver of Good who hasiblessed us with the conditions which have enabled us to achieye so. large a measure of well being and of happiness. To us as a Dbeople it-has 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.in 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 lite has called for the vig | without which the manlic FAVORABLE - T0J. J HILL U. S. Supreme Court Affirms Decision of Cireuit Court of Appeals in the Hill-Harriman Case. Washington, Mar. 6.—The supreme court of the United States today af- firmod the decision of the cireuit court; of appeals in the case of E. H. Harri- man vs. the Northern Securities com- pany, iavolving the distribution of shares in the Northern Securities company. The decision is favorable to the Hill interests. ment of responsibility which is ours; and a fixed determination to show that under a free government a mighty people can thrive best, alike as re- gards the things of the body and the things of the soul. Much has been given to us, and much will rightfully be expected from us. We have duties to others, and duties to ourselves; and we can shirk neither. We have become a great na- tion, forced by the fact of-its great- ness into relations with the other na- tions of the earth; and we must be- have as becomes a people with such responsibilities. Toward all other na- tions, large and small, our attitude must be one of Cordial and Sincere 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 gener- osity in a nation, as in an individual, count most when shown not by the weak but by the strong. While ever careful to refrain from wronging oth- ers 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: nation 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 sub- ject for insolent aggression. Owr relations with the other powers of the world are important; but still more import®it are our relations among ourselves. Such growth in wealth, in population and in pgwer 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 greatness. Power invariably means both respousibility and danger. Our forefathers faced certain perils which we have outgrown. We now facc other perils, the very existence of which it was impossible that they should foresee. Modern life is both complex and intense and the tremen- dous changes wrought by the extraor- dinary induvstrial development of the last half ce~ tury are felt in every fibre of our social and political being. Never before have men tried so vast and for- midable an experiment as that of ad- ministering the affairs of a continent under the form of a democratic repub- lic. '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 accumulation of great wealth in industrial centers. Upon the success of our experiment much depends; not only as regards our own welfare, but as regavds the welfare of mankind. If we fail the Cause of Free Self-Government throughout the world will rock to its foundations; and therefore our respon- sibility is heavy, to our: selves, to the world as it is today and to the ‘genera- tions yet unhorn. There is no good reason why we should fear the fu- turg, but there is every reason why we should face it seriously, neither hiding irom ourselves the gravity of the prob- lems before us nor fearing to approach these problems with the unbending, unflinching purpose to solve them aright. s Yet, after all, though the problems are new, though the tasks set before us differ from the tasks set before our fathers who founded and preserved this republic, the spirit in which these tasks must be undertaken and these problems faced, if our duty is to be well done, remains essentially un- changed. e know that self-govern- ment is difficult. We know that no people needs such high traits of char- acter 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 confi- dence 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 practical intelligence, of. courage, of hardihooil and endurance, and above |.all the power of devotion MAY BE SURROUNDED GENERAL KUROPATKIN AND HIS ARMY IN SERIOUS DANGER OF BEING CUT OFF. JAPS DRAWING THE NET TIGHTER FLANKING COLUMN ATTEMPTING BY FORCED MARCH TO GET BEHIMND RUSSIANS. St. Petersburg, March 6.—The battle raging at the front has assumed enor- mous proportions. Already one of the Associated Press Russian correspond- ents places the Russian losses at 30,- 000 men and those of the Japanese at 40,000. It is added that the attempt to draw a net around General Kuro- patkin has not ‘vet succgeded, but it is said that the Japanese from Sinmin- _ tin are attempting by forced marches to cut the Russian line of communica- tions. General Kuropatkin reports that the. Russians have been compelled to evac- uate their position at Gaotu pass. General Kuroki, according to the latest reports, is stalled by the Rus- sian left, but the Russian center is vielding slowly before the Japanese onslaughts. Field Marshal Oyama has shifted the weight to his left, seeking to en- velop the Russian right eight miles southwest of Mukden. In the bloody hand-to-hand fighting which followed and continued for hours the losses on both sides were enormous. But the most serious news is the report that the Japanese flanking column at Sin- mintin, ahout thirty miles west of Mikden, has divided, part of it moving straight east to roll up the Russian right wing, while the other is making forced marches north with the evident purpose of cutting the Russian line of communication with Tie pass and clos- ing the line of retreat. Should the operation prove successful the Russian army might be surrounded. STEADY JAPANESE GAINS, Reports to Tokio From Headquarters in the Field. Tokio, March 6.—It was announced during the day from the headquarters of the Japanese armies in Manchuri: that the fighting on the right, center and left is-resulting in steady Japa- nese gains. The Japanese, it is added, have_ de- feated the Russians at Sinmintin. An official dispatch from the head- quarters of the Japanese armies in® Manchuria says: “Many counter attacks in the direc- tion of Hsinching have been repulsed by the Japanese. “In the direction of Bentsiaputze the Japanese pressed the enemy to his main defenses and are now engaging him, “The Japanese have captured Sun- muhaotzu and the heights north of Tangchiatun east of the Shakhe river railroad and have since been engag- ing the enemy’s infantry. “About a battalion of Russians at- tempted to penetrate Shangwafang from the direction of Fenchiaoyao, but were repulsed. *“Paying no attention to the enemy’s defenses west of the railroad the Japa- Dese are pressing northeast. Part of the Japanese force dislodged the en- emy from Tamintun and Sinmintin. The Japanese at the latter place cap- tured a quantity of provisions.” JAPS PUSHING FORWARD. Russians Fall Back on Their Heavy Line of Defenses. General Oku's ‘Headquarters in the Field, March 6.—The Japanese have occupied three more villages in the Russlan second line of defenses, carry- ing the captured lines twelve miles east of Changtan. The Russians are falling back on their heavy defenses south of Mukden. The Japanese movement is entirely successful. - The Japanese losses have net been - rted, but it is probable that they
