" ' ASHINGTON-1'he most brl1-
hant and Imposing Inauguration
which the citizens of Washington
UTe ever prepared has passed Into
the history of the republic. Theodore
Roosevelt did not ride to the capitol ,
bitch his horse to a shade tree , enter
the building and take the oath of
office booted and spurred. The traditional -
. . . .
- tlonal Jeffersonian simplicity was replaced -
, placed by a pageant which has not
been surpassed In the annals of the
t aatlon.
For a week the District of Colum-
. bla has been the host of the union.
- Term after presidential term Its citi-
lienS without regard to party have
united with enthusiasm In preparing
an Inauguration that shall fittingly
show forth the national respect for
the executive office. For the unllara-
lelled demonstration or Saturday the
sole credit Is due to these citizens ,
the officials of too War and Navy departments .
Jartmonts and the officers _ lf the army
and navy.
It was the first national Inauguration -
tion since the civil war that the south
seat up Its warriors and Its state offi-
cIals. Men who fought each other for
rears under different flags ; men who
fought together In the war with Spain
under one flag ; executive officers of
the states who upheld the stars and
bars , and those who stood for the flag
of the union marched together In rev
. - . view before their common president ,
4 ( , a soldIer of the republic.
4 Fully 200,000 visitors gazed with
wonder and unbounded enthusiasm at
. .
( ) the district's handiwork for honoring
. the president.
The whole city was a garden blossoming .
IIOmlng with fiags. For a week ever
advancing waves of color have been
sweeping through all Its streets. Not
only was the line of march artistically -
ly decorated to a degree never before
attained , but no street In the city was
without Its national colors. Acting un-
' del' a suggestion from the inauguration -
Uon committee , the board of educa-
tion had requested Its 50,000 school
, children to see that each one of their
, . " , . homes displayed the flag. It was a request -
quest responded to by an army of chil- }
dren. This apotheosis of the colors
1 I was one of the most striking elements
t , of a gIgantic scheme for expressing
t the national respect for a president.
The committee on street decorations .
tIons , street illumination and parks
fWd reviewing stands worked together
with artistic taste and transformed
two miles and a half of the city's
noted avenue Into a fitting highway
r ; 1. for the nation In Its countless repre-
, , ; tsentative bodies to march as an eS"
! tort a to Its president.
The ball In the evening was a grand I
afralr. In deference to the Sabbath , all
ceremonies stopped at midnight , but '
It was well toward morning before the
'I
tights were turned down on the most
prllUant spectacle that Washington
bad seen In Its long line of notable
ccaslons. Till long after midnight
the gathered thousands walked , won-
' lIerlng and enthusiastically , on Pennsylvania .
sylvania avenue , through long reaches
pf fairyland. With the small hours the
tights faded and the citizens rested '
from their months' of labor.

alas' manifesto reiterating Russia's
aspirations In the far cast and appealing .
Ing to the loyalty of the people to turn

JAPS ADVANCE NEAR THE RUSSIAN .
SIAN STRONGHOLD.

GREAT CONFUSION IN THE CITY
-
Many Wounded Arrive and Booming
of Guns Becomes More Dlstlnct.-
Stubborn Fighting In Progress All
Day Long.
-
MUKDEN-A ceaseless artillery fire
Is heard ten miles southward. The
roaring of the guns Is becoming more
distinct every hour.
The Russian losses during the last
five days hnvo been heavy.
The wounded are streaming through
Mukden northward , the hospital train
service being Infinitely better than at
the time of the battle of the Shl the
river.
Great confusion prevails In this city ,
every means of transport out of Muk-
den being used.
Night attacks are again the feature
of the Japanese tactics. During last
night almost a corps of infantry was
hurled against General Blehlerllng's
right flank and for hours the men
fought In darkness , the Japanese
using hand grenades with terrible ef-
teet. The butchery on both sides was
frlgh tful.
General Rennenkamp's troops acquitted .
quitted themselves brilliantly , contest-
Ing the passes southeast for three
days. They fought continuously , the
Japanese pressing them on nil sides
with heavy odds In favor of the .Iap
ane-se. On Thursday night the corps
lost about 1,800 men , of which number .
bel' fourteen were officers.
Over 1,000 wounded men have already .
ready arrived hore.
The brunt of the fighting fell on
General Danleloff's division and General .
eral Lubauln's division , which held
the heights of Tomous mountain. They
were attacked last night and the position .
tlon twice changed hands , but morn-
Ing found It still In possession of the
Russians.
Thus tar General Rennenlmmpf1'
has successfully barred the way of
General Kurokl's column.
SAKHETUN , Manchuria-Stubborn
fighting has been In progress all day
long.
Four Japanese divisions arc about
eleven miles west of Multden.
The Japanese today made two infantry .
fantry attacks on PouUloIT hill , but
were repulsed. They have resumed the
bombardment of time hill.
The Japanese attacked time Russian i
extreme left wing at two points as !
well as Gauto pass , where during the
morning time fortifications previously
abandoned were recaptured by the
Russians.

Country.
RO\IE-The : whole sitting of the
senate Friday was taken up with the
discussion of an Interpellation of Senator .
ator Prince Odaleschl on the sUbject
of the relations between Italy and
the United States. The senator spoke
lightly about Immigrations In America -
ca , which he described as thoroughly
"Imperialistic. " This "Imperialism , "
he said , "does not mean conquest , but
emergence from political Isolation ,
which Is only possible by emerging
from economic Isolation "
"Let Italy , " he added , "profit by this
situation. "

palsied to be at peace.
