"A GREAT RESPONSIBILITY’
Thousands \Vilncss the Ceremony. Oath
Administered for the Second Time. The
Scene in the Legislative Chamber. Gov.
Roosevelt’s Inaugural Address.
Albany, N. Y., Jan. 3.~-Governor
Roosevelt was inaugurated at 11.30
o'clock Monday, taking the oath of of-
fice for the second time, having been
sworn in on Saturday by John M.
Palmer, formerly secretary of state.
Hundreds of persons saw the new
governor sworn in anti thousands more
witnessed the ceremonies that attend—
ed the inauguration.
Ten o’clock was the hour set for the
ceremony to begin, but long before that
time the crowds had begun to climb
the hill leading to the Capitol and
the steps and approaches to the state
building were thronged with an eager
multitude.
At ten o’clock the staff of the new
governor went to the executive man-
sion, and ,a few minutes later Major
General Roe and his staff made their
appearance. '
At eleven o'clock the guard of honor.
which was composed of Squadron A,
in charge of Captain Bridgman, and
the One Hundred and Tenth Battalion
of Albany, under Major Hyatt, march-
ed to the. mansion to escort the gover-
nor and his staff to the Capitol.
At the western entrance to the Cap:—
tol the governor and“ his aides left
their carriages and went at once to
the executive chamber, where they
were met by ex-Governor Black and
his staff. ‘
The incoming and outgoing state of-
ficers had also gathered in the room,
and almost immediately after the ar-
rival of Governor Roosevelt the party
was formed into line by former Secre-
tary of State Palmer, and the march
to the assembly chamber was begun.
The route of the march, which lay
along the southern corridor of the sec-
ond floor to the grand western stair-
case, was patrolled by members of the
110th battalion.
The assembly chamber resembled
anything but a legislative room when
the state officials entered it. All the
desks and railings had been removed
and the entire auditorium had been
used for the seating of visitors.
Over the speaker’s desk at a. height
of about ten feet from the floor, a
large platform had been built on which
the ceremony of administering the oath
took place.
The chamber was decorated elabo—
rately in red, white and blue and gold.
In the middle of the hall, directly over
the platform, a large .fiag bearing the
seal of the United States had been
placed. In front and beneath the plat— ,
form was a similar flag with the seal
of the state of New York.
Behind the platform there were tap—
estry of crimson velvet lined with gold
bouillon, on which at intervals were
placed groups of flags arranged in the
form of shields and fastened to the.
tapestry with brass eagles.
Each column was festooned with
red, white and blue hunting, and the
windows were draped with the Stars
and Stripes.
A military band had been stationed
in one of the balconies, and before and
during the ceremonies it enlivened the
proceedings with music. On the plat.-
form were the wives and friends of the
state officials.
The two front rows of chairs had
been reserved for the inaugural par—
ty. '
The procession entered through a
doorway at the back of the platform,
and the members took their places.
The, secretary of state, Mr. McDon-
ough, opened the proceedings. The
Right Rev. W’illiam Croswell Doane,
bishop of Albany, officiated at prayer,
and then the new secretary of state
administered the oath which made
Theodore Roosevelt governor of the
state of New York.
Ex-Governor Black, as he yielded
the reins of government to Governor
Roosevelt, made a little speech wel—
coming his successor.
After he had been sworn in the new
governor advanced to the front of the
platform and read his inaugural ad—
dress. He said:
"I appreciate very deeply all you
say, and the spirit that prompts you
to say it. \Ve have the some ends in
view; we are striving to accomplish
the same results; each of us, according
to the light that is in him, seeking to
advance the welfare of the people.
“A very heavy responsibility rests
upon the governor of New York state.
a state of seven million inhabitants, of
great wealth, of widely varied indus-
tries, and with a population singularly
diversified, not merely in occupation,
but in race origin, in habits of life,
and in ways of thought. It is not an
easy task so to frame our laws that
justice may be done to all alike in
such a population, so many of whom
have interests that Seem entirely an.
tagonistic. ,
“But upon the great and fundamen-
tal issues of good government there
must always be a unity of interest
among all persons who wish well to
the commonwealth.
“There is much less need of genius
or of any special brilliancy in the ad-
ministration of our government than
there is need of such homely virtues
and qualities as common sense, hon-
esty and courage.
“There are very many difficult pro-
blems to face, some of which are as
old as government itself, while others
have sprung into being in consequence
of the growing complexity and stead-
ily increasing tension of our social life
for the last two generations. It is not
given to any man or to any set of
men, to see with absolutely clear vis-
ion into the future. All that can be
done is to face the facts as we find
them, to meet- each difficult)! in prac-
tical fashion and to strive steadily for
the betterment both of our civic and
our social conditions.
“We must realize on the one hand
that we can do little if we do not set
ourselves a high ideal, and, on the oth-
pr, mat we will fail in accomplishing
.i
I
even this little if we do not work
through practical methods and with a
readiness to face life as it is, and not
as we think it ought to be.
“Under no form of government is it
so necessary thus to combine efficien-
cy and morality, high principle and
rough common sense, justice and the
sturdlcst physical and moral courage.
as in a republic. It is absolutely im-
possible for a. republic long to endure
if it becomes either corrupt or cow-
ardIY: if its public men, no less than
its private men, lose the indispensable
virtue of honesty; if its leaders of
thought become visionary doctrinaires,
or if it shows a. lack of courage in
dealing with the many grave prob—
lems which it must surely face both
at home and abroad, as it strives to
work out the destiny meet for a migh-
ty nation.
“It is only through the {Dirty system
that free governments are now suc-
cessfully carried on, and yet we must.
keep ever vividly before us that the
usefulness of a party is strictly lim-
ited by its usefulness to the state, and
that in the long run he serves his
party best who most helps to make
it instantly responsive to every need
of the people and to the highest de-
mands of that spirit which tends to
drive us onward and upward.
“It shall be my purpose, so far as I
am given strength, to administer my
office with an eye single to the wel-
fare of all the people of this great
commonwealth.”
The ceremony was closed with the
benediction pronounced by Bishop
Do'ane. . .
As the procession again formed and
_ started for the executive chamber, the
2 band played “America.”
In the executive chamber Governor
Roosevelt presented the members of
his staff with their commissions.

reported. __
Investigation proved that the flags
were given to members of the company
by Cubans in the crowd and that the
flags were thoughtlessly waved by the
cheering volunteers.
Twenty-rive Cubans, well mounted
and armed, joined the column at the
Prado and rode to Central Park turn-
ing into a side street. They aroused
much enthusiasm.
The seamen of the battleship Texas,
at 12.30 Sunday afternoon rowed to the

A Railroad mu Passed by Kansas Legisla-
ture Valueless.
Topeka, Kan, Jan. a—The PODUIiSi
leaders of Kansas areecrfronted by a
serious problem. Both branches of the
legislature have passed a railroad bill
which railroad attorneys assert is not
worth the paper it is written on.
It was announced yesterday that
Governor Leedy had signed the bill.
but as a matter of fact, he went to his
home at Lawrence without doing so,
and his failure to approve the meas—
ure, is prompted by a. desire to confer
with the steering committee with a
View to changing it and having it re-
enacted under a suspension of the
rules.
The constitution gives the governor
power to assemble the legislature in
extraordinary session when a grave
emergency demands it. The “emer-
gency" set forth in Governor Ledy’s
call was the necessity of railroad leg-
islation. Now, the legislature has
passd a bill which does not meet that
“emergency” until'the first Monday in
April next, and one month after a
regular session of the legislature shall
have adjourned.
The railroads intend to contest the
new law on that ground, and have
announced that they will carry the
matter to the supreme court of the
United States.
They will assert that no emergency
exists, and that if it did exist the new
law should have been made operative
at once.
HELPLESS ON THE OCEAN
! Efforts of the Newby to Aid the Stemship

Queenstown,_ Jan. 3.-—The British
steamship Newby, Captain Clark, from
Philadelphia on December 1 for this
port, has arrived here, and reports
having passed the British steamship
Dart, a vessel of 2,056 tons register, on
December 2, in latitude 49 north and
.longitude 18 west, with her propeller

carried away.
The Newby towed the Dart for an
hour, when the 'hawser parted. She
then stood by the Dart for twenty-
seven hours, but was unable to ‘get
another hawser aboard the disabled
ship owing to the heavy sea.
Her own safety demanded that she
proceed, leaving the Dart in a helpless
condition.
The cabin of the Newby was flooded
and much interior damage was done.
Her lifeboats were stove in and her
deckwork was badly injured while at-
tempting to aid the Dart.
The second mate and a. seaman of
the Newby were injured, all the pro-
visions on board were destroyed and
the crew lost part of their clothing.
Mr Aldridge’s Sucessor,
Albany. N. Y., Jan. 3,—Many guesses
are being made in connection with the
appointment of the superintendent of
public works.
It is said that this, that and the oth-
er man are strong favorites and that
each is sure of the appointment. As
a matter of fact, the question is not
likely to be settled for a. day or two
at least.
Governor Roosevelt has been devot-
ing his attention to other matters since
his arrival here. He did not approach
Henry H. Lyman and offer him the
position, as has been reported, nor is
Colonel John N. Partridge the leading
candidate, as a morning newspaper
said.
A high official saw the governor Sun-
day night and advocated Colonel Par-
tnidge’s cause with him,‘ but he receiv-
ed no answer.
As the case stands, the next super-
intendent of public works may be
Gardiner, Lyman or some one else, per-
haps Charles Sooysmith. Each has an
equal chance.

Six Regiments Ordered to Leave
For the Philippines.
GEN. MILLER STILL FIRM
Critical Stuation at Iloilo and Manila
Leads to Prompt Action by War and
Navy Departments. The Gunboat Helena
Ordered to Join Dewey's Fleet.
Washington, D. 0., Jan. 3.—Advices
to the war department from Major
General Otis do not report the situa-
tion at Iloilo to be so critical as is
indicated in the press dispatches, but
the conditions there are serious enough
to cause the greatest concern.
According to a long dispatch receiv—
ed from General Otis, Brigadier Gen-
eral Miller was not landed at Iloilo,
but is endeavoring, pending the receipt
of instructions from General Otis, to
conciliate the insurgents in every way
possible. . -
When General Miller’s expedition ar-
rived at Iloilo, General Otis telegraphs.
he found that the Spaniards had re-
cently vacated the forts defending the
town and the insurgents had taken
possession.
It ws indicated by the telegram that
the’ Spaniards had evacuated Iloilo
treacherousl ', in order to cause em-
barrassment to the Americans. The
Insurgent garrisons in the forts were
in a very excited condition when Gen~~
erai Miller arrived, and it was appar-
i,nt to him that they had heard false
reports about the Americans.
The belief of the war department,
based upon something in General Otls'
message is that the Spaniards before
departing from Iioilo persuaded the
Filipino troops that the American
forces were not friendly to them, and
that the Americans would massacre
ih._m or do something equally as
Lad.
W'hen the vessel which brought the
news from- General Miller left Iloilo,
the insurgents were parleying with
General Miller over the latter's request
or demand for their withdrawal from
the defences.
General Otis, either in the dispatch
Whose substance is given above, or in
a. later one, said that he had sent an
emissary to Iloilo to say in the name
bf the United States that this govern-
ment had no desire to injure the Fili-
pinos, but, on the contrary, was very
iriendly toward them, and desired to
help them and show them every possi-
ble aid and comfort. This emissary
was to explain that the United States
had only the good of the Filipino peo—
ple at heart, and that the desire to oc-
cupy Iloilo did not mean an act of
unfriendliness. This message from
General Otis is approved by the presi-
dent and the secretary of war and in-
btructions on the line of those sent to
“floral, Miller by the special emissary
’wor'e telegraphed on to the war depart-
inent.
.' While the military authorities will
not admit that there is imminent dan-
‘ r of a. conflict with the Filipinos,
t ey are evidently of the belief that
bloodshed is likely to occur unless
Aguinaldo can be brought to terms.
The disappearance of the troublesome
Filipino Chieftain is very embarrassing
at this juncture.
. He is wanted not only for the pur-
pose of consultation, but because the
government has reached the conclusion
'that it is about time to watch the
wily agitator. Nobody knows where
he has gone, but it is suspected here
that he is preparing his followers in
the interior of Luzon for resisting any
attempt by the Americans to make
them lay down their arms and dis-
band.
. The situation at Manila is as seri-
Ous as that at Iloilo, for it is realized
by General Otis that a conflict between
General Miller's detachment and the
insurgents at Iloilo would _ probably
cause Aguinaldo to throw off his dis-
Ituise and appear as an enemy of the
United States. ‘
‘ In anticipation of just such an emer-
gency, the war department.has taken
Ineasures to reinforce General Otis as
nuickly as possible. To that end the
bix 'regiments of regular infantry re-
neatly ordered to prepare for service
In the Philippines have been directed
to get ready to move at once, and the
quartermaster general’s department is
making a strenuous effort to obtain
enough transports.
A dispatch was sent to General Otis
yesterday afternoon announcing that
the Twentieth infantry would leave
San Francisco not later than January
7, and'that the Fourth, Twelfth and
Seventeenth regiments, that are to go
by way of the Suez canal, would de-
part from New York not later than
January 12, while two other regiments
would be under way from San Fran-
cisco by January 15.
The necessity of increasing the Uni-
ted States military force in the Phi!-
ippines has been apparent to the ad-
ministration ever since Aguinaldo be-
gun to show his teeth. The insurg-
ents in the island of Luzon alone are
said to number- thirty thousand, while
General Otis has about twenty-two
thousand men, regulars and volun-
tears.
About two thousand Of these are .

Evacuation Ceremonies Marked by Good

Havana, Jan. 3.--The first real Yan
kee sunrise that ever painted the side
of the West Indian archipelago camefl
yesterday morning and kissed the'
Stars and Stripes above the palace of

Evacuation ceremonies have created
a. great revulsion of feeling in the
city. The Cubans are in a. happier
mood than they have been since the
Americans landed here.
They had feared a. snub. General
Brooke’s conduct toward them they
thought a little arbitrary and spark}
of discontent were smouldering and
threatening to break into flames of
disorder. -
But at the last
Brooks had a happy thought. He in-
vited the Cuban generals Mayia Rot~
riguez, Mario Menocal and Rafael do ,
Cardenas to the feast and turned the.
tide of resentment into joy.
General Lee is the hero of the day.
Where missiles and epithets had been
hurled at him by a frenzied and mis- .
understanding populace, yesterday the _
missiles were flowers and kisses.
Wherever the new military govern~
or goes he is pelted with blossoms,
