This ceremony took place in the beautiful diplomatic oom of the Stete Department with ite classic hangings and sacred historic memories. Secretary Gresham visited the department this morning and took formal possession in a ‘most informal way, He was received by the ‘Messengers in the hallway and then by Mr. Harry Bryan in the Secretary's office. The courtesies between the incoming and outgoing Officials were exchanged at the de- partment yesterday afternoon when Mr. Gresham received his commission at the hands of Mr. Wharton and then subscribed to the cath of office, Mr. Quincy, who succeeds Mr. ‘Wharton as assistant secretary, was present at ‘the time. ‘Mr. Wharton came to the department at 10:15 o'elock this morning and bad a short talk with the Secretary in regard to the busi- ness of the department. The arrival of other members of the cabinet, with friends puta stop to the conference. There wasaslight misunderstanding in regard to the time for the cabinet to qualify and they arrived at different times during the morning. The time fixed for the ceremony was 11:15 o'clock. ‘THE UNINTENTIONAL SERENADE. Secretary Gresham and Postmaster General Bissell walked over together from the Arling- ton to the Department this morning. It so happened that Boss McLauglin's County Demo- cratic Club left the hotel on their way to the depot about the same time, and as the two hi . i officiate passed their line they were greeted Fe significant Strains of “I Want a Situation,” v it with the full strength of the large band accompanied the Brooklyn stalwarts. It was not intended for the benefit of the Cabinet minister who happened not to be recognized by the organization, but was accepted as an inten- tonal serenade to them by persons who knew thom. Secretary Carlisle, Secretary Morton and Seo- retary Smith joined the other two ministers at the State Department soon after 10 o'clock. and were followed quickly by Secretary Herbert and Attorney General Olney. They occupied the Secretary's office. on the — beryl were gathered — ngrevemen, a knot of newspaper men and a few visitors, who were attrectes there by the presence of the others. Secretary Smith came out into the hall several times to meet friends from his own state who had sent in for him. A PARTY OF LaDiEs. Secretary Lamont was the last of the cabinet toarrive. He came about 11 o'clock and was accompanied by a large party of ladies and gen- tlemen, including Mrs. Lamont, Mrs. Perrine, Gen. Tracy and Miss of Al Dany, Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt of New York, Mr. R. W. Gilder, Miss Saunders, of New York and Col. J. M. Wilnon of the army. They were ushered into the diplomatic room at once and were followed immediately by ove previously asvembled in the secre- tary’s office and Representatives Bynum and Martin of Indiana, Representative Cummings of New York, National Committeeman Smalley, Assistant Secretary Adee, Mr. John T. Glenn of Georgie, Mr. John G. Parker of New York and Representatives Cabiness, Tait and Maddox, Gen. Flagler, Capt. Smith and Capt Shaler of the ordnance department. Nothing now remained but to await the ar- rival of Mr. Justice Field of the Supreme Court, who had been requested to administer the prescribed oath of office. He did not keep fear waiting long, arriving promptly on the inute. ‘THE OATH ADMINISTERED. Everything being then in readiness the ven- erable jurist sad be was prepared to perform his duty. He took his stand at the head of the large ebony table with the cabinet officers at his right and left with the remainder of the crowd standing in a circle be- hind them. Secretary Gresham, who had al- walified, took ‘@ position’ just behind Justice Field. The oath was administered first to Secretary Carlisle and to Secretary Lamont, Smith, Her- bert, Olney, Bissell and Morton in the’ order named. The Bible used was one bought by Secretary Morton, who remarked that be in- tended it asa gift to his grandchild ass me- mento of the oceasion. Judge Field read the onth from » printed form drawn up for the signature of each mem- ber, and repeated the solemn words in ‘an impressive voice somewbat broken by aR agg Hen be, finiehed with the words “Go help you God” he banded each ‘a copy of the osth, with the request that it be signed. When Mossrs. Smith, Herbert and Bissell were sworn they kissed the book. The others simply bowed their heads in ac- knowledgment. ‘The ceremony was exceedingly simple and lasted but a few minutes. At its close Justice Field congratulated the new officials, and bis example was then followed by all the others present. After a few minutes spent in general conver- sation the party broke up, the cabinet officers ing to their respective departments. nators Wolcott and Teller, who called to see Secretary Gresham on other business, were wit- nesses to the ceremony. Private Secretary ‘Thurber also came in before it was over. RECEIVING CALLERS. During the afternoon Becretary Gresham re- ceived the officers of the State Department.

CARLISLE'S RESPONSIBILITIES. Secretary Carlisle has been studying the con- dition of the treasury for some time and has probably already arranged bis plans. He will robably be compelled to issue bonds, as it is loubtful that he will agree with Mr. Foster that the gold reserve may be trenched upon. ‘This matter was not talked of between him and Mr. Foster today, however. RECEIVING THE OFFICIALS. Mr. Spaulding was designated as acting sec- retary and Mr. Carlisle's time for the next hour or two after his arrival at the department was taken up in receiving the officials of the depart- ment and others who called.

After a while the reception to the clerks begun and when the of the line got in the Secretary's room | they found smiling fez. Mr. Noble intro- duced the beads of the bureausand they in vurn performed a like duty for the clerks in their charge. In greeting the Secretary the em-| ployes also had an opportunity to say good bye to the retiring Secretary, which they did with genuine feeling of respect and esteem. At the | close of the general reception Secretary Smith saw the people who were waiting rather anxiously outside to text the powers of endur- ance possessed by a Georgia ear. At the request of Secretary Smith Mr. Claude N. Bennett, the Washington’ corres; the Atlanta Journal, will act as his p Tetary.

They were received informally by Private Seoretary Millor and Lieut. Dapray, Secretary Elkins’ military aid. The Secretary asked for Assistant Secretary Grant, and when that gentleman appeared the two retired to one of the inner offices and had a brief conference about the busi- fess of the department.

At the personal request of Gen. Rusk all the employes of the department were then admitted to the office in order,as hesaid,that he might take each and every one of them by the hand.
