WASHINGTON. March 4. Tne inau
gural addr.-HH of rrenldenl McKinley
vaa n follows:
"My Fellow Citlxena; When e as-
Hernl),j mr on the fourth of Manh.
Is97, there was great anxiety with re
gard to our currency and credit. None
exists now. Then our treasury receipt
were Inadequate to meet the current ob
ligations of the government. Now they
are sultlclent for all public needs, and
we have a surplus Instead of a deficit.
Then I felt constrained to convene the
congress 'n extraordinary session to
devise revenues to pay the ordinary ex
penses of the government. Now I have
the satisfaction to announce that the
congress Just clofed has reduced tax
ation In the sum of forty-one millions
of dollars. Then ih re was deep solici
tude because of the long depression l;i
our manufacturing.' mining, agricultur
al and mercantile Industries and thecon
sequent distress of our laboring popu
lation. Now every every avenue of
nroductlon Is crowded with activity;
labor Is well employed and American
products find good markets at home and
abroad.
"Our diversified productions, however,
are Increasing In such unprecedented
volume as to admonish us of the ne
cesnlly of still further enlarging our
foreign markets by broader commercial
relations. For this purpose recipncal
trade arrangements with other nations
should In liberal spirit bo carefully
cultivate and promoted. The national
verdict for 1S6 has for the most part
been executed. Whatever remains un
fulfilled Is a eontlnuing obligation rest
ing with undiminished force upon the
exemtive and the congress.
"Hut fortunate as our condition Is,
Its permanence can only be assured by
sound business methods and strict econ
omy In national administration and leg
islation. We should not permit our
great prosperity to lead us to r-vkless
ventures In business or profligacy In
nubile expenditures. While the con
gress determines the objects and the
sum of appropriations, the officials of
the executive departments are respon
sible for honest, and faithful disburse
ments and it should be their constant
care to avoid waste and extravagance.
Honesty, capacity and Industry are now
here more Indispensable than In public
employment. These should be funda
mental requisites to original appeal and
the surest guarantees against removal.
"Four years ago we stood on the
brink of war without the people know
ing It and without any preparation or
effrt at preparation for the Impend
ing peril, I did all that In honor could
be don to avert the war, but with
out avail. It became Inevitable, and
the congress at Ita flint regular session,
without party division, provided money
In anticipation of the crlsl and In prep
aration to mm It. It came. The re
milt wag signally favorable to Ameri
can arms and 'n th highest degree
honorable to the government. It Im
posed upon us obligations from which
w cannot escape and from which It
would be dishonorable to sek to es
cape. We are bow at peace with the
World and It Is my fervent prayer that
If differences arise between ua and other
powers they may be settled by peace
ful arbitration and that hereafter we
may le spared the horrora of war.
"Entrusted by the people for a sec
ond time with the office of president.
I enter upon Its administration ppre
clatlng the great responsibilities which
attach to this renewed honor and com
mission, promising unreserved devotion
on my part to their faithful discharge
and reverently Invoking for my guid
ance the direction and favor of the
Almighty iod. I should uhrlnk from
the duties this day assumed if I did not
feel that In their performance I should
have the co-operation of the wise and
patriotic men of all parties. It en
courages me for the great task which I
now undertake, to believe that those
. who voluntarily committed to me the
great trust imposed upon the chief ex
ecutive of the republic win glva to me
irenerous support In my duties to 'pre
serve, protect and defend the constitu
tion of the United States," and to care
lhat the laws be faithfully executed.
"The national purpose Is Indicated
through a national election. It is tne
constitutional method of ascertaining
the public will. When once It Is reg
Istcred it is a law to all of us and faith
ful obs-Tvan.-e should follow Us decrees.
"Strong hearts and helpful hands are
needed, and fortunately we have them
In ev.-ry .xtrt of our beloved country
We are re-united. Sectionalism has dls
appeared. DivlMon on public sentiment
cm no longer be traced by the war
maps of 1x61. These old differences less
and less disturb the Judgment. Exist
Imr nroblems demand thought and
quicken the conscience as well, for their
righteous settlement rests upon us not
more upon me than upon you. There
are gome national questions in the so
lution of which patriotism should ex
clude partisanship.
"Magnifying the difficulties will not
take them off our hands nor facilitate
their adjustment. Distrust of the ca
pacity, Integrity and high purposes of
the American people will not be an In
spiring theme for future political con
tests. Dark pictures and gloomy fore
bodings are worse than useless. These
unlv becloud: they do not help to point
the way of safety and honor. 'Hope
maketh not ashamed. The prophets
i f evil were not the builders of the re
public, nor in Its crisis since have they
saved or served It. The faith of the
fathers was a mighty force in Its cre
ation and the faith of their descendants
has wrought Its progress and furnished
Its defenders. They are obstructionists
who despair and would destroy con
fidence In the ability of our people to
solve wisely and for civilization the
mighty problems resting upon them.
"The American people, intrenched In
freedom at home, take their love force
with, them wherever they go and they
reject as mistaken and unworthy the
doctrine that we lose our own liberties
by securing the enduring foundation of
liberty to others. Our Institutions will
i ot det?riorate by Invasion and oursense
of lustlce will not abate under tropic
suns in distant seas. As heretofore,
so hereafter, will the nation demon
strate Its fitness to administer any new
estate which events devolve upon it.
and In the fear of God 'will take oc
casion by the hand and make the
bounds of freedom wider yet.' If there
are those among us who would make
our way more difficult we must not be
disheartened but the more earnestly
dedicate ourselves to the task which we
have rightly entered. The path of
progress Is seldo-.n smooth. New things
are ofte;i found hard to do. Our fath
ers found them so. We find them so.
Thev are Inconvenient They cost us
something. Hut are we pot made better
for the effort and sacrifices, and are
not those we served lifted up and
blessed?
"We will be consoled, too, with the
fact that opposition has confronted ev
ery onward movement of the republic
from Its opening hour until now, but
without success. The republic has
marched on and on and Its .every step
has exalted freedom and humanity.
We are undergoing the same ordeal as
did our predecessors nearly a century
rgo. We are following the course they
blazed. They triumphed. Will their
successors falter and plead organic im
potency In the nation? Surely after 123
vears of achievement for mankind we
will not surrender our equality with
other powers In matters fundamental
and essential to humanity. With no
such purpose was the nation created.
In no such spirit has it developed Its
full and independent sovereignty. We
adhere to the principle of equality
among ourselves and by no act of ours
will we assign to ourselves a subordi
nate rank in the family of nations.

RIVER AND HARBOR
BILL TALKED DEAD
Killed by Thirteen Hours Speech
by Senator Carter.
NEW SENATORS TOOK OATH
Leader ol Democracy ii Hoaic PreKilea'
Rctolulloa Tettllylai to Hlb Retard
ol Tkat Body for Speaker
Headertoa.
WASHINGTON. March 4. On of the
most notable occurrence fn the history
of congressional legislation marked the
closing hours of the last session of this
congress. Senator Carter, of Montana.
siKnalized his retlr.-ment from the sen
ate after six years of brilliant service
by talking the river and harbor bill
to death. He occupied the floor ob
structively for nearly thirteen consecu
tive hours, althougti in the aggregate
about three hours of that time were
devoted to other business.
At 11:40 o'clock last night, after the
senate conferees on the river and har
bor bill had reported a disagreement,
Senator Carter began his speech. Ap
parently 'n a facetious vein he began
his attack upon the measure, denounc
ing it as vicious and pernicious legisla
tion, unwarranted by conditions and
unsound in principle.
Shortly before 5 o'clock Allison sub
mitted a further disagreement on the
sundry civil bill, the Item in contention
being the appropriation for the three
expositions. From this the senate re
ceded and then passed the St. Luls
exposition bill. By a vote of 3S to 10 the
senate receded from the Charleston ap
propriation and the bill was passed.
Carter resumed his speech, flnaliy
announcing at 6:30 o'clock that It was
his intention not to permit the river
and harbor bill to become a law if
his strength should hold out and say
ing that at that moment he was In ex
cellent phyjic.il condition. With the
exception of a brief Intermission while
a quorum was belngr secured, and a re
W!s of half an hour between 10:30 and
11 o'clock today," Carter spoke prac
tically continuously. He yielded the
floor only after the ceremony of the
induction of Vice-President Roosevelt
into ofhce had begun.
After Vice-President Rooseelt had
been sworn In, he directed the clerk to
read the proclamation of the presidmt
calling th? senate Into extraordinary
session, the direction of the reading be
ing the first official order of the new
vice-president.
At the conclusion of the proclama
tion, the vice-president requested the
new senators to present themselves at
the desk to take the oath of office.
The following senators were sworn:
Bacon, of Georgia; Bailey, of Texas;
Berry, of Arkansas; Blackburn, of
Kentucky; Burnham, of New Hamp
shire; Burton, of Kansas; Carmack, of
Tennessee; Clark, of Montana; Cullom.
of Illinois; Dolliver, of Iowa; Dubois,
of Idaho; Elkins, of West Virginia;
Foster, of Louisiana; Frye, of Maine;
Gilbert, of South Dakota (Pettlgrews
successor); McMillan, of Michigan;
Martin, of West Virginia; Morgan, of
Alabama; Patterson, of Colorado; Sew

WASHINGTON. March 4. The house

Strong Speech by Lord Wolseley In the
H iue of Lords.
LONDON, March 4.-In the houa of
lords today Lord Wolm-ley for twi or
three hours attacked the military aya
tem of Great Britain In a carefully
written speech.
"My argum-nts," he said, "are not
directed agatist individuals but against
the military system which I have hon
egtly tried for Ave yeara and have
f :und wanting and which entails many
great dangers not realized by the peo
ple of this realm."
Lord Wjlseley poMed out In detail
how the distribution of responsibility
disorganized and Impaired the war ma
chine. The commander In chkf had
no effective control. Neither had the
heads of depirtrnenis.
''My lord, I ne3d scarcely tell you."
said Lord Wolseley, impressively, "that
our soldiers do not. love the war office
nor Its civilian rulers."
