BISHOP DOAXB OFFERS PRATER.
Bishop Donne, of Albany, brought the cere
tr my t" a closo with prayer.
The decorations of the Assembly chamber
were unusually pretty. At each end of the plat
form huge palms had been massed. The gray
stone walls which formed the back of the plat
form were hung with buntingr sr«J American
fiagp. High overhead, among the wires which
msk« It possible for a speaker to bo heard in
tfc* rear of the chamber, -were long 1 streamers
id hunting, gracefully festooned, while over
; the heads of the people on the platform was a
! mass of greenery, with Christmas bells, and a
, twinkling row of electric lights. "With the gay
J uniforms of the soldiers and the handsomo
: dresses ot! the women, the sceno was one of
great beauty.
The smoothness of the occasion was marred
.somewhat by the fact that -wholly inadequate
preparations had been made for receiving the
jgueEte. State officers whose places should have
| been reserved for them on the platform where
t etiquette required them to be found themselves
unable to gain admittance without much argu
ment and emphatic discourse with ushers.
.Guests holding cards or passes Issued from the
'ofSc-e of the Secretary of Btate mere told in
some instances that they -weren't worth the
•paper they were written on. Even when the
• ' special guests and state officers bad succeeded
', in getting to the platform, they found far too
i tarn chairs, so that awkward waits occurred In
'the programme while they were trying to Ptow
■ themselves away comfortably in as little space
'as possible.
I At the main entrance to the Assembly Cham
ber, conditions were even worse. The place
had been filled long before the appointed time
for the ceremonies, and finally the doors were
j closed, and the police peremptorily refused ad
| mission to every one. Holders of tickets or cards,
imen and women alike, were turned away. Once
•or twice the police tried to clear the corridors
I with their usual gentleness and tact. News
i paper photographers, even though they held
[cards of admission and passes from the Super
intendent of Buildings, were thrown out bodily.
Immediately after the inauguration ceremonies
j Governor Hughes and bis military staff went to
■the executive chamber, where there was a public
, reception. Several thousand persons formed in
[line to shake the new Governor's hand. Later
|ln .the afternoon there was another reception
•«♦ the Executive Mansion.
. THE CROWDS GATHER EARLY.
! Hours before the time scheduled for the start
ling of the parade and the opening of the cere
'moiiies attending the inauguration the crowds
t began to assemble, thronging the principal
! streets of Albany. Each incoming train this
: morning was filled with visitors to the city. The
•hotels were crowded early. Politicians, great
end small, renewed old acquaintance and, for
1 getting for the day their various reasons for
i being in Albany, •wished one another a happy
New Tear, or perhaps heartiiy congratulated a
successful opponent.
-An hour before the parade started the streets
i ßeading to the Governor's mansion were well
lulled. Squadron A. New York's crack cavalry •
i organization, was halted in front of the man
felon a llnle later. The brilliant uniforms, jin
gling spur?, clanking sabres and splendid mounts
;J»nt color and plctur<?s<jueness to the scene, ac
centuated by tha masses of civilian spectators
In more sombre hues that hedged them in on
three >ldes. As the minutes passed the crowd
steadily increased, and the police had difficulty
\in Keeping an opening for the parade to pass
•through.
! The day was dai.'.p and threatening; rain
: seemed imminent, but weather conditions had
ri© effect on th« number or temper of the on
*ook*re. The booming of cannot was suddenly
i heard. It was the signal for the starting of th»
jpara.de. . --„..-

fwjug company after company of the stats

•end worthy of the occasion that caused it.
. SQUADRON A SALUTES GOVERNOR.
The Young Men's Republican Club of Albany
; brought up the rear of the procession. Hardly
■ had it passed when Squadron A moved up, and.
going "squads left." formed In line facing the
'Governor's mansion, rectifying its alignment
j a* the carriage for Governor Hughes stopped in
i front of the door. It was drawn by four white
hor^F. There was a d*lay of a few minutes i, e 
!fore the Governor and his party came out. The
j instant Mr. Hughes appeared In the doorway,
j "Present, sabres!" rang out the order of th«» offl
■ cer commanding Squadron A. At the word of
, command 125 sabras leaped from their scab
■ bards and,- circling the air, cam to the "present "
i It was a pretty sigh*.
j" As the Governor's carriage turned into the
, strict the crowd started cheering. This was re
; pea.t«»d at intervals on the way to the Capitol
! Behind the Governor came the carriages of his
and ex-Governor Hlgglns's staffs. The brilliant
; uniforms of 'these officers, the masses of gold
.lac*, were in startling contrast to th* conven
itional black of the other state officials, but gave
1 the color — that pomp and splendor of the njlll
■ tary— that was necessary to make the scene a
j spectacular and impressive one.
I The thousands that had lined Eagle street bur
jrled to the Capitol as soon ax the procession had
j passed, and, with those that were already there
jdensely packed every available bit of standing
i room. j
i Cheering a few blocks ar-ay announced that
the Governor was near at hand. This broke out
into tr-ri-inV and spontaneous applause as his

FRIENDS HONOR BIGGINS.
Remarkable Demonstration as Retir
ing Governor Leaves AUmny.
[By ?*l*gnz>h to Th« Tribure.3
Albany. Jan. I.— Friends of ex-Governor Illg
glas gave him such a farewell demonstration as
be was going back to Olean this afternoon as
few Governors have had in recent years. Some
thirty of his more intimate associates went to
the station, boarded his car, shook hands with
him again and again and sang songs until tha
train wae rea-dy to start. The retiring Governor
vras crreatly touched by this exhibition of good
win. John F. O'Brien, formerly Secretary of
State, had arranged a luncheon for ex-Governor
Hisglna following the inauguration ceremonies.
About a dozen of the latter'a friends were pres
ent, and all made informal speeches in which
they told how they had enjoyed their official re
lations with the former Governor and appre
ciated the more Intimate personal and social
friendships. After the luncheon ex-Governor
Higgins went to the raliroed station with N.
V. Y. Franchot to take the 4:15 p. m. train for
Buffalo, where he will remain overnight.
As Mr Iligglns entered the station some of
the porters went up to ask if they might shake
hands in bidding him farewell. The ticket
sellers and the gatemen, too. went up to say
good by, and the retiring Governor held an Im
promptu reception. Then, just as he was going
out to his CRT, a large party, including Senator
Tully, ex -Congressman Wadawnrih, Congress
men Bennet and Olcott, of New York: ex-Secre
tary O'Brien, ex-Attcrney General Mayer. Su
perintendent Whipple of the Forest, Fisn and
Game Department, Tax Commissioner Perley.
who was ex-Governor Higgins'? secretary, and
many others marched into the station. They
surrounded the retiring Governor, shook hands
with him several times round, although he had
bidden them all farewell at the Capitol, and
finally went out to his car with him.
There they sang. "For he's a Jolly good fellow"
and many other songs. Just aa the train was
about to move the former Governor said to
them:
"Gentlemen, I can't thank you for this fare
well. I want to pay Just one thing, you have
lengthened my life ten years in this last half
hour" Mr Higglns's friends stood cheering him
until the train rolled out of the station.
DEFEXDS XEW CAPITOL.
Gov. Penny packer of Pennsylvania
Sends Message to Assembly.
Harrlshurg, Jar., The General Assembly ef
Pennsylvania convened at noon to-day. The ses
sion was entirely routine. A recess was takon un
til January 15 to give the presiding officers time to
select the standing committees. The Republican
party is in a majority In both houses. The real
work of the session will begin Immediately after
the inauguration of Governor-elect Edwin S. Stuart
on January 15.
The House organised by the election of Frank E.
McClain. of Lancaster, as Speaker, and Cyrus E.
Woods, of Westmoreland, was again elected Presi
dent pro tern, of the Senate.
After both houses had boen organized, the new
members sworn in and other routine proceedings
incident to the opening of a regular session had
been disposed of, the last biennial message of Gov
rnor Pcnnypacker. who goes out of office en Jan
uary 15.. woe presented and read.
The Governor, after dealing with a score of sub
jects, took up the controversy over the decorations
and furnishings of the new State Capitol. The
erection of this structure coat. M,500,00i) and the
decorations and furnishings $3,000,000. Charges of
extrftv&jrr.nee wer» made in connection with th© ex
penditure of the $5,000,000 end the subject was made
an Issue in the last campaign. The money
■was largely expended by the Board of Public
Grounds and Buildings, of which the Governor, by
virtue of h'.a office. Is a member.
The Governor in his message courts an inquiry
and requests the Legislature to make a thorough
investigation of the charges. "In the completion
of the Capitol," the Governor says, "the common
wealth has accomplished a. difficult and compli
cated task In a manner which Will reflect credit
upon her for ages to come."
Continuing, he says, in part:
The Capitol is all paid for and has been paid for
out of revenues without the imposition of burdens
on the people. Two alone of tl'.e railroads of ilia
commonwealth pay to her annually In taxes C.tiiyj.
22& 27, and since they are largely owned In London
and Now York, it is at least a partial truth that
the Capitol is only a return to us of some of the
wealth derived by the stranger from our own
natural resources. Borne of the most skilled artlsnr.s
and the most capable artists now living- in the
world have devoted their efforts and talents to its
erection and ornamentation. Sixty thousand people,
some of them from distant lands, have already come
to Harrlsburg for uo other purposo than to view
its attractions, end ere long ft will be that no man
anywhere will be ablo to claim a knowledge of art
as expressed In form without having studied the
Capitol of Pennsylvania. It has been Its fortune
to have been made the Issue of a political cam
paign for the Governorship, and to have been ap
proved by the p*op!«».
No Important work was ever achieved on this
earth, whether for the betterment of human affairs,
the enhancement of human interest* or the eleva
tion of human sentiment, without an aftermath of
query, criticism, ditwent. objection and even hos
tility. The industrious farmer ploughs Ills Held
for next year's crop, while birds of ill omen Kit
along the fence ana croak their displeasure. Tho
vapors from swampy grounds often obscure for ,i
time the very moon in the heavens. It would lie
too much to expect the Capitol, beautiful In Its
proportion*, adorned -with the wealth of the
thought of all past time, and bullded tor 'he cen
turies that are to follow, to enraps tha whimpers
of to-day. and If it cannot ho denied that th» eyes
of men lighten and that their hearts warm as they
view its wondrous success, at least it. can bo unreel
that It ha« cost a considerable sum of money.
Upon this subject I request and advise that, you
make a thorough und complete inquiry.

of George B. MoClellan to the office of Mayor

hardily assumed office to-day before a repre
sentative of Clarence J. Shearn. Mr. Hearst's
counsel, served upon him an application for re
argument. The Attorney General received the
papers, advised Mr. Shearn to have them served
on the attorneys of Mayor McClellan, and an
nounced that he would jive a hearing next
Monday at 2 p. in.
The application 1b voluminous", and reiterate*
substantially the allegations made before At
orney General Mayer. It also r«cltes the de
velopments of the case before the latter, and
summarizes his decision denying relief, declar
ing that Mr. Mayer knew that the prlma facie
proof of Mr. Hearst's claim of election could
not bo forthcoming without opening the boxes.
The situation created by Attorney General
Mayer's decision, says the application, "was
practically this: The Court of Appeals and
the Legislature had refused to permit the bal
lota to be recounted on the ground that this
should be done In a quo w art ante action. Tho
Attorney General refused to permit a quo war
ranio action to be begun, holding In effect that
the ballots must first be counted."

eral, "in a hasty decision,** rendered four day*
after the submission of the matte--, "incorporated
bodily a verbatim excerpt from the Corporation
Counsel's analysis of figures, embodying flaring
errors of addition and subtraction, and that Mr.
Mayer either did not read the answering analy
sis or wilfully misstates the facts."

the 25th, he saw no occasion to multiply In
definitely The same testimony.
All of these- things, it is asserted, th« Presi
dent wan perfectly warranted in taking into
consideration, for It was tils duty to determine
whether certain members of the 25th, ■whose
Identity could not be ascertained, had perpe
trated an outrage which, rendered them Incom
petent longer to wn in the military establish
ment, and in his efforts «•> to determine he- -was
not bound by the somewhat narrow rules of
evidence which prevail in a court of justice
or which would necessarily have controlled a
court martial charged with the duty of deter
mining whether or not th* men of the 25th de
nerved to be dishonorably dismiss^, or even
more severely punished.
SHARP DEBATE EXPECTED.
These arguments, framed by com«» of fh?
ablest members of the Senate, have appealed
with tolling force to certain Senators, and.
white Senator Spoooer declines to say where
he will stand on the que«tlton. It is a safa pre
diction that he will feel It his duty also to
controvert the second proposition in Mr. For
ak«"r'3 charßC. So that Senators who have bsen
I keeping In touch with the sentiment ■mom
their colleagues as it has developed during the
recess look forward to a brilliant debate.
When- Senator Foraker*s contentions have
been disposed of, however, there will still re
main th« question of Individual hardship Im
posed by the dismissal of so many members of
the 25th. And it is probable that the Senate, or
Senators, will endeavor to mitigate the hardship
la individual and especially deserving cases.
For Instance, there is the case of Minso Sanders.
who has served with credit for many years and
who would be entitled to retire on three-fourths
pay next April. There is no direct evidence
against Sanders. On the contrary. Senators find
in the evidence much which leads them to be
llove that tho Brownsville outrage was not per
petrated by the members of the company of
which ha was senior sergeant.. Consequently,
there will doubtless be Introduced In Congress
and passed a bill "correcting th« military rec
ord" of Sanders, co that he will be immediately
placed upon the retired list of the army, and
It is entirely possible that there will be other
cases which appear to be equally or almost as
deserving. In which the hardship resulting from
dismissal will be eliminated in the same man
ner. There are numerous precedents for such,
action by Congress. Xumerous military rec
ords, some of them, perhaps, far less deserving
than those of some of the Negroes discharged
from the 25th. have been corrected by special
bills passed by Congress, and the beneficiaries
are now on the retired list of the army and
drawing their retired pay. nor is it believed
likely tSat the President would disapprove such
bills, for hla action in dismissing the members
of the 23th was based merely on hla decision
that some of their number had vitiated toe use
fulness of the ontlre command at Brownsville.
and not on any desire to punish Individual mem
bers, as the Executive clearly points out In his
message. Such correction of their military rec
ords would not. of course, restore any of. the
dismissed men to the active list, and it is be- |
lieved that no reasonable objection would Ha
against legislation which merely sought to re
ward them for honorable service rendered before
the Brownsville episode, and which did not place
them where they might prove a further menace
to the community.
