Henderson barricaded himself in the at

About midnight the mob attacked the

LATER DATE FAVORED
Movement to Postpone Inauguration
AttraotiDg Wide Attention.
CHiC'GO POST QUOTES STATESMEN
Question of the Need of a Constitu
tional Amendment Discussed.
SOME SUGGEST DECEMBER
The movement started by the committee
of Washlngtonians in charge of the recent
inaugural ceremonies to secure a change in
the date of the presidential Inauguration
has attracted favorable notice in many
quarters and has already assumed definite
proportions. The Post of Chicago has late
ly undertaken to aid the enterprise and in
a late issue published substantial evidence
of its Interest in the shape of a symposium
of the views of statesmen, with a first-page
display heading, accompanied by the fol
lowing introductory statement:
"For years the people of this country
have discussed the advisability of changing
the date for the presidential Inauguration
from March 4 to some later time, when the
weather is likely to be more auspicious. It
has been urged that the early part of
March usually is stormy and that thou
sands every year are deterred from visiting
Washington for this reason. Several Presi
dents have delivered their inaugural ad
dresses standing with bared head while the
storm beat upon them, threatening their
lives and marring the splendid pageants
which had been arranged.
"I-ast spring the inaugural committee at
ashington decided to take up the matter
and if possible press it to a conclusion. The
committee has outlined a good plan of cam
paign and intends to push It. The Chicago
Post, recognizing the general desire among
the people for early consideration of this
Important subject, has obtained expressions
of opinion from many leading United States
senators, representatives, governors and
other men prominent in public afTairs upon
the question at issue These, it will be found,
are almost unanimously in favor of chang
ing the date of the inauguration to some
later time, when good weather may be ex
pected.
Several of those interviewed make the
point that the present date for the inau
guration makes the second session of Con
gress too short. By placing the date on
?? session would be extended
llnSJi* five months- The present
length of the session is .considered inade
quate for business. This appears to be of
greater Importance to several who have ex
pressed an opinion than the question of
p?bable inclement weather for the
incidental pageantry of the inauguration." !
Favorable Views.
Among those submitting signed state
ments were Senator Allison, who said: "I
do favor such change, and have frequently i
voted for it in the Senate. I have voted for
the 30th of April. I believe that to be the
most convenient season and day. It would j
?oneress during the short session
to sit five months instead of three. It
would place the inauguration on the first
thcat Congress was fully organized, in
io1heSSo5,Sutf?e?;-'!<",lrM a? ??<?*-?"
Secretary Gage wrote thus: "I am heart
ily in favor of the proposed change in the
date of the Inaugural ceremonies until
some date when the conditions would be
more favorable to good weather. We can't
legislate good weather, but we can legislate
a later date, when good weather would be
more sure.
? Former Senator Chandler of New Hamp
shire said: I am in favor of changing the
date by all means, and would suggest May
4 as the best date. The weather is bad in
March. My chief reason, however, is so
that the second session of Congress may be
lengthened from three to five months. The
present session is entirely inadequate for
business. It would be necessary to change
the Constitution." ^
8enator Hanna briefly expressed his
*,?r May Senator Elkins
said: The date should be changed. The
first Monday in May or the first Tuesday
after the first Monday would be better. My
reasons are the weather and the necessity
of a longer term of Congress. The ohaiiKe I
suggest would add two months to the t?rm.
I have not considered the constitutional
questions involved, but think Congress can
fix the date, even after the President has
taken the oath of office."
Governor Durbin of Indiana said: "Any
time in April or May would be preferable
to March. In Indiana the legislature is in
session early in March, so that the state
cannot be officially represented at Wash
ington."
Senators Dolliver and Burrows declared
in favor of a later date. Representative
* c^> believe in changing the date.
April 30 is the best time for it. My reason
Is that the last of April is the anniversary
?L ay Washington took the oath of
office, and the fact that the weather would
probably be better. I do not think any al
teration of the Constitution would be neces
sary."
Co-vne? Postmaster at Chicago, said:
if the weather were the only thing to
take into consideration, it seems to me it
would be much better to delay the inau
guration of the President until the last
week in April or the first wek in May.
This is by far the prettiest time of the
year in "\\ ashington. In March the weather
is invariably Inclement, and It would be a
hard matter to estimate how many deaths
from pneumonia have resulted from ex
posure during the ceremony. I have not
given the question a great deal of thought,
but from this standpoint the change would
certainly be an improvement. The holding
or this function in the spring is the best
time, rather than shortly after the election
for It gives the newly elected officials ali
summer to study up on their duties."
An Earlier Date Favored.
George E. White, former representative
In Congress from Chicago, favored a
change, but preferred an earlier rather
than a later date than March 4. lie said:
"The date of March 4 was set originally
because of the slow methods of traveling.
In these tlfhes it takes about six days to
reach the capital from the farthest point
in the Union. If the time were set for the
inauguration of the President and tho In
stallation of representatives, as well as
senators, thirty days after election, or
sixty, if that seems too soon, It would be
much more popular with the people. When
there is a change in officials It 1b because
the public Is tired or dissatisfied with the
ruling regime. Therefore the sooner they
have voiced their sentiments and their will
is carried into effect the better they will
be satisfied. Under the present system
these officials do not assume actual office
for thirteen months after the election, and
often do not vote on questions which were
In the party platform until nearly two
years after they were put in nomination.
The delay causes the public to lose interest
and become apathetic. Besides thaC, con
ditions are constanUy changing. If a man
votes on a certain matter a year after he
has pledged himself, he must often act
rather against his best judgment or else go
back on certain planks In the platform on
which he was elected.
"Again, a change of this kind would act
as a preventive measure. A defeated man
would go out of office shortly after election.
When such a man remains in office for
months after he knows he will not be re
seated he is sometimes likely to act for his
personal Interest to the Injury of the com
mon welfare simply because he knows It
Is his last claim, as It were, In office."
S. E. Moras, former consul general to
Paris, wrote in favor of substituting April
<J0. He said: 'Alteration of the Constitu
tion would, of course, be necessary, and
that is next to Impossible. A more Im
portant and desirable reform would be to
change the date of assembling of Congress.
Like the English parliament and French
chamber, it could assemble very soon after
its election 'fresh from the people.' Con
gress should never sit after the election of
its successors. The bulk of the reckless
corrupt and extravagant legislation Is en
acted In the final short session of Congress,
after a new Congress has been chosen. The
delay of thirteen months before the latter
meets permits many members to forfeit
their promises to the people. The whole
arrangement Is wrong and responsible for
much evil. It removes our Congress too far
from the people."
W. A. Rodenberg, member of the civil
service commission, wrote: "The date
should be changed. Every resident of
Washington knows It and nearly every one
Is In favor of It. The Inaugural committee
la working hard on the matter, and will
try to press It to ap early hearing."
Chairman John Joy Edson of the Inaugu
ral committee wrote as follow: "To my
mind the daM! shfould be changed. As
chairman of the coiflmKtee having the cere
mcnles In charge Ihave urged the matter
strongly. The weather almost Invariably
Is bad early hi Mairch. and earnest effort
will be made have this question consid
ered next winter. The question Is a most
Important one/ and' I cannot too strongly
urge its consH^eratfrn."
Some In ^Opposition.
A few adverse opinions were expressed.
Representative Hopkins of Illinois gave no
reasons for his opposition. Senator War
ren of Wyomirfg said:
"The sole oltfectidn to the present date
seems to be tJlat 1$! Is In a season of the
year when the weather frequently is un
propitious for the Outdoor exercises and
demonstrations customary in Inaugural
ceremonies. As these exercises and demon
strations are but incidental to the essential
Inaugural ceremonies the comforts or dis
comforts attendant 'pon them on account
of weather conditions should not be made
the major consideration In determining the
date of the Inaugural. The date, March 4,
established by one of the earliest of the
statutes of the United States Congress, is
suited to the general schedule of national
elections, sessions of Congress and presi
dential terms of office. A change of date
would require a complete overturning of
long-established procedure, and when made
would not Insure absolutely desirable
weather conditions upon the specific day
set for inauguration. Let us retain the old
order of things in this Instance, even if
necessary to curtail the parade and pagean
try of Inaugural ceremonies."
Representative Crumpacker of Indiana
said: "I very much doubt the wisdom of
an attempt to change inauguration day.
Elections ore held early in November, and
about four months elapse before the In
auguration of a President. This interim is
important for Industrial and other interests
to adjust themselves to meet any changes
in existing policies that may be expected
from the change of President. If inaugura
tion came within a month or two after elec
tion material interests of the country
might be greatly embarrassed. I believe
the present arrangement Is about as good
as any that could be devised. If the party
In power succeeds at an election all Inter
ests of the country are assured that no
material change of policies will take place.
If there is a change of party that promises
a radical change of industrial or commer
cial policies there ought to be a reasonable
time after the election and before the in
auguration for interests to protect them
selves. If there Is an imperious necessity
for action under a new administration the
President can call an extra session of Con
gress to meet it. The date of inauguration
is not fixed by the Constitution, and I do
not understand that it would require a con
stitutional amendment to change It. The
President's term might be reasonably
abridged or extended for the purpose of
fixing a new inauguration day, without
violating the Constitution. Upon this prop
osition, however, I speak with some mis
givings."
Gov. Bliss of Michigan declared against a
change, saying: "Changing the date could
not possibly be of benefit enough to war
rant disturbing the existing order of
things."
Former Senator Carey of Wyoming, in
opposition, said: "We have moved along
for more than a century and have done
very well. An inclement day may come on
any other date. Should a change be de
cided upon a time not later than the sec
ond Tuesday in May should be chosen. The
weather some years is very even during
that month in Washington city. I do not
think It would be necessary to change the
Constitution,"
WASHINGTON.
Growing I'p.to the Far-Sighted Plans
of Itw Founder#.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Philadelphia and Washington are two
cities that were laid out. before they were
built, upon complete geometrical plans.
Philadelphia quickly outgrew these limita
tions; Washington, designed more than a
century later.. Is only now growing up to
and filling out the far-sighted scheme of its
projectors. The two plans were as different
as their results. The surveyor's plot of
Philadelphia Would have served for an in
terior town upon an open, level plain. Two
wide streets crossed at right angles, with
an open space at the intersection: there
was an open space or square about the
middle of each of the four sections Into
which the city was thus divided, and paral
lel streets, In each direction, filled out the
allotted space, one mile in width and two
In length, with a river at each end. It was
a plan for a city that was to grow from the
center, but it did not grow in this way.
It was not considered that the Delaware
river must determine the plan of the town,
which already was straggling along the
river bank before the new streets were sur
veyed. Front street and 2d street followed
the river for miles above and below the
limits of Penn's city, and roads stretched
out in any direction that convenience sug
gested, to Frankford, to Germantown, to
Roxboro' and to the west and south. It
was many years before the checker-board
pattern really began to develop, and then it
imposed itself upon the city, as it grew be
yond the original boundaries, with such un
reasoning regularity, such disregard of to
pography and convenience, that the actual
development of Philadelphia has been with
out any Intelligent plan at all. We are now
trying to remedy some of the defects that
foresight would have avoided.
Washington presents the strongest possi
ble contrast. For many years It was a plan
and nothing else. People laughed at its
magnificent distances, with a few fine build
ings scattered in a squaud wilderness. But
Washington has gradually grown Into a
great and beautiful city, and it has grown
exactly according to the noble* design
worked out by L'Enfant, under the inspira
tion of the first President. The committee
of distinguished architects whom the Sen
ate committee on the District of Columbia
wisely asked for advice on the development
of the park system of the capital, and who
have lately returned from a visit to Euro
pean cities, say that what they have to rec
ommend will be only the completion of
L'Enfant's plans. In the restoration of the
Mall, a feature which had been obscured,
an<f the Improvement of the Potomac flats,
for Instance, they have only to add land
scape and architectural details to the orig
inal outlines. They will have suggestions
to make on the location and grouping of
buildings and monuments, and they have
an important plan for a series of fountains;
but all these are only to complete the real
ization of the beautiful city that was
framed in the imagination of Its projectors
a century ago.
PRINCK CHUN.
Description of His Departure From
Shanghai for Germany.
From tbe Shanghai Mercury.
The departure of Prince'Chun took place
this morning half an hour earlier than the
time announced yesterday, and much dis
appointment was caused thereby, some of
the consuls arriving at the jetty Just as
the revenue cruiser conveying his highness
down the rtfer *Ms casting off. The whole
of the route from the Bubbling Well road
to the Jetty7 wad lined with policemen at
about ten paces apart, and some four hun
dred men w$re told off for this duty. His
highness aftd hfr retinue proceeded In
CM^lrs fsc?rte^y f posse of mounted
8iKxi8. A xnAtsneti nad been erected on th6
Jetty, which/ wan prof usely decorated with
colored trapping^ and lanterns.
The bridge leading to the jetty was a
perfect boWer of foliage and decorative
plants and flowers in full bloom, tastefully
arranged by the superintendent of the"pub
lic gardens^; Hi?r highness, on arriving at
the jetty, immediately proceeded on board
where he tuok leave of his eminence, the
taotal, and :tfce other local authorities The
revenue crwiper, which dressed ship with
the Chlneseiflag the main, soon after left
the jetty, and as she passed H. M. S Are
thusa, a squad of marines formed on the
deck presented arms. There was a great
crowd of natives on the bund to see the
distinguished visitors off, but very few for
eigners, owing no doubt, to the fact, stated
above, that the embarkation took place
earlier than announced. The rain was
pouritig down almost in a sheet at the time
and this also doubtless militated against a
large attendance.
The Chinese cruisers Halchow and Haichi
of the Peyang fleet arrived at Woosung
yesterday from Kianyin in order to flre a
salute on the departure of Prince Chun.
The prince intended to inspect the two
cruisers before embarking, but found he
had not sufficient time.
The German steamer Lusltanta. from
Hamburg for Mediterranean ports, was
sunk off the Casquet Rocks in collision
with the Span11> ateamer Amboto.
Table and Kitchen.
Recipes for Some Delicious Vinesin
and Cataipi.
There is a happy medium to te attained
between the pulse and water diet and a
riotous and extravagant variety of dishes.
The natural and normal appetite Is one
that is satisfied with simple foods. But
we must be reasonable In our deductions
and understand the principal reason why
we are not content is not s? much be
cause we have lost our relish for plain and
^natural foods as owing to the fact that bad
cooking renders these foods "flat, stale and
unprofitable."
Intemperance In eating is another and
too often the chief cause of our dissatisfac
tion and want of appetite for simple and
| natural foods. "We are not content with
the moderate use of thirgs we relish, we
are prone to deceive ourselves with the
false reasoning that if a little of the good
things kindly provided will give us pleas
ure, by Increasing the quantity we In
crease the pleasure, until in a very short
time we pervert our taste or disorder our
powers of digestion.
This Improvident Indulgence In food we
do not need and are much better without
has no doubt been the cause of the In- j
creased demand for spicy and piquant ac
cessories to our food supply.
Food Mast Be Palstsble,
Food must be relished to be well digest
ed. This has been so clearly revealed it
seems a waste of time to risk a repetition
of the truth. But In view of the fact that
It is quite impossible In too many cases to
get our food in just the right condition,
with the osmazome unchanged and the
natural flavors intact; we are therefore
forced to substitute the natural flavors of
the food substances with those nature
with evident and kindly Intent furnishes
us for substitutes in the aromatic herbs,
seeds, flowers and fruit acids.
All foods of the nature of condiments,
which are merely incentive to the appetite,
and to be partaken of In very homeopathic
proportions, are to be regarded In the light
of necessary evils, harmless In the hands of
the intelligent and temperate, but calculat
ed to do sericus harm if used in excess.
Acids in Food.
The acids of vegetables and fruits form
but a very small per cent of the substances
contained In our foods; but their presence
Is necessary to maintain a healthy condition
of the system. Acetic acid, which Is best
known to us in the form of vinegar, is ex
tensively used as a condiment In sauces
and salads and in the preparation apd pres
ervation of many vegetables and fruits
known as pickles. Aromatic or flavored
vinegars are so easily made and are of the
greatest value to the cook, especially when
fresh herbs cannot be obtained. They are
used principally in salads and sauces.
Corn Vinegar.
This is a vinegar many prefer to elder
vinegar; use the following proportions: To
each gallon of soft water, rain water is
best, add a pint of light brown sugar or
molasses If you are not particular to have
a white vinegar; one pint of corn scraped
from the cob. Put al! Into a stone jar,
cover with a cloth and set In the sun for
three weeks; by this time you will have a
good vinegar.
Mint Vinegar.
This, if acceptable,. Is nice to use as a
condiment to serve with roast mutton when
fresh mint is out of season. It may also be
added to a drawn butter sauce served with
mutton, and a small quantity improves
canned peas or string beans. Loosely fill
bottles with fresh, tender leaves of mint,
cover with good vinegar; cork tightly and
let stand for three weeks. Then pour off
into clean bottles; keep tightly corked.
Parsley Vinegar.
Gather fresh parsley, pick off the leaves
and fill a bottle loosely; cover with vinegar;
cork tightly and let stand for three weeks;
then pour off the vinegar Into clean bottles,
season to taste with salt, cayenne and
white pepper.
Chilli Vinegar.
Take fifty small red chilli peppers; bruise
them slightly or cutting them into small
pieces and covering with good, strong vin
egar.

white onions; mix with them two level

turn into a glass jar or wide-mouthed bot
tle, fill with strong vinegar; cover or cork
tightly and let stand two or three weeks,
shaking several times each day. Strain,
bcttle and cover or cork tightly.
Lemon Vinegar.
This Is a substitute for lemon juice; grate
the yellow rind from five lemons, being
careful not to get any of the pith. Squeeze
the juice of three lemons over the grated
rind; scrape out the pulp but discard seeds
and white bitter skin.* Cover the rind,
juloe and pulp with a quart of good cider
vinegar, cork tightly and let stand two
weeks; then strain and bottle.

ger, white pepper, mace and dried lemon
peel, quarter of an ounce each of cloves,
allspice and cinnamon and an ounce of
celery, salt and quarter of a teaspoonful

Magnify a flake of Toasted Wheat and note its translucent heat-browned
structure. The quadruple cooking to which it has been subject has dried
every pore and portion of it. The "pastiness" of the starch of the wheat
does not exist in this greatest of all foods because the starch has been
"heat-digested" and thereby converted into dextrine, readv for imme
diate assimilation to Blood, Bone, Brain and Brawn. This food does not
become a pasty mass -when moistened. lip
TOASTEU WHEAT FLAKES are widely imitated, even In Battle Creek, ?o in
order to protect the public in securing the genuine, and ourselves, we have placed a
picture of the Battle Creek Sanitarium on each package. Don't accept substitutes.
