WILLIAMS @taf Correspondent of Fhe Bvening World.' WASHINGTON, April 8.—A minute or two before 1 o’clock this afternoon Speaker Clark announced: “The President of the United States!” A door at the left of the rostrum opened and through it entered the Committee of Senators and Representatives escorting President Wilson, Instantly every man on the floor of the House rose to his feet in re spectful attitude, The galleries remained seated, but within a second or two ripples of handclapping applause ran round the room. Some of the exuberant members of the House joined in, but the Senators maintained dignified mien of silence. The escort led the way, half a dozen steps toward the, rostrum, There they halted, Senators Kern, Bacon and Gallinger flanking one side, Representatives Underwood, Palmer and Mann flanking the other side. Between these files Mr. Wilson walked slowly and mounted the steps to the reading clerk's desk. This is a platform in front of the Speaker's desk and a step lower down. Without glancing at the audience, Mr, Wilson turned and extended his hand, first to Speaker Clark, next to Vice-President Marshall, who stood side by. side. SPEAKER POLITE, VICE PRESIDENT EARNEST. The greeting to the Speaker was polite but petfunctory. The grasp of the Vice-President’s hand was more earnest and strong, and a smile moved over the President's face, which up to that time had been grave and fixed in solemn expression. Quickly he turned toward the House and stood a minute, surveying the scene and letting the audience survey him, Just a glance of the eye flashed at the gallery, where Mrs, Wilson at, She presented for the first minute a picture of anxiety which self- ‘ontrol could not entirely conceal from her face. It was a moment of |doubt and uncertainty as to how the legislative branch of tae Govern. ment would receive what some of the conservatives consider an intrusion Jon their preserves—an invasion of their specially guarded prerogatives in making the laws. But the anxiety was for only a moment.

The handclapping }had died away. Speaker Clark’s gavel sounded a single rap.

The President strained his voice not in volume but in erort for clearness of utterance and distinctness of tone.
