ROOSEVELT GOVERNOR
The Rough Rider Takes the Reins
at Albany.
——
'A. GREAT BESPONSIBILIT Y’
Thousands \Vitness the Ceremony. Oat-11
Administered for the Second Time. The
Scene in the Legislative Chamber. Gov.
Roosevelt’s Inaugural Address.
Albany, N. Y., Jan. 3. "Governor
Roosevelt lwals inaugu1ated 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 and thousands more
witnessed the ceremonies that attend-
ed the inauguration.
Tc'n 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 oclock 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 Capl-
rtol 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—
0nd 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 flag 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 bunting, 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. William 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 sw Girl in the 116v
gov Cll’lOl' ad'z'x .nced to the flout of the
platform and read his inaugmal ad~
dress. He said:
“I appreciate very deeply all you
jay, and the spirit that prompts you
to say it. we have the same 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 \a'cli‘are of the people.
"A very heavy responsibility rests
upon the governor of New York state.
a state of: seven million inhabitants, of
reat wealth, of widely varied indus—
t1 ies, 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 therv;
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 difficulty 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 it we do notset'
ourselves a.- high ideal, and, on the othu
or. that we will fall in accomplishing
'1 ill» 111
even this little 21‘. 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
sturdiest physical and moral courage.
as in a republic. It is absolutely im-
possible for a republic long to endure
if lit becomes either corrupt or cow
ardly; if its public men, no less than
its private men, lose the indispensable
virtue of honesty; if its leaders of
thought become visionary doctrina'ires,
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 flirty 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
Doane. .
As the procession again formed and
started for the executive chamber, the
band played “America.”
In the executive chamber Governor
Roosevelt presented the members of
his staff with their commissions.

GEN. MILLER STILL FIRM
Critical Situation at Ildilo and, llIanlia
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 110110 to be so critical as is
indicated in the press dispatches, but
theconditions 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 110110,
but its 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
possossion.
It ws indicated by the telegram that
the' Spaniards had evacuated Iloilo
treacherously, in order to cause em-
barrassment to the Americans. The
Insurgent xarrisons in the forts .were
in a. Very excited condition when Gen--
eral Miller arrived, and it was appar-
ent to him that they had heard false
reports about the Americans.
The belief' of the war department,
based upon something in General Otis’
lneSsage is that the Spaniards before
departing f1 om Iloilo persuaded the
Filipino troops that the American
forces were not friendly to them, and
that the Americans would massacre
them or do something equally as
bad.
When 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, 01' in
a later one, said that he had sent an
emissary to Iloilo to say in the name
0f the United States that this govern—
ment had no deshfi 'to injure the Fili-
pinos, but, on the contrary, was very
"I'1ien‘dly toward them, and desired to
help them and show them ev eiy possi-
ble aid and comfort. This emissary
was to explain that t‘he 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
unfriendlines s. This message from
General Otis is approved by the presi—
dent and the secretary of war and ill-—
structions on the line of those sent to
Gemiai Miller by the special emissary
’wer‘e telegraphed on to the war depart-
ment.
While the militaiy authorities will
not admit that there is imminent dan-
‘ger of a conflict with the Filipinos,
they 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 f01 the pur-
pos e of consultation, but because the
government has reached the conclusion
Ithat 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 110110, for it is realized
by General Otis that a conflict between
Cent-1:11 Mille1 s detachment and the
i. “agents at Iloilo would p10babl};
1'. e Aguh. aldo to thiow off his dis-
guise and appear as an enemy of the
(11‘1‘1'CC'CI States.
In anticipationpf just such an emer-
-'-'1cy, the war department has taken
usures to reinforce General Otlis as
as possible. To that end the
"calments of regular infantry re—
1211 L'y ordered to prepare for service
In the Philippines have been directed
to get leady to move at once, and the
quarter‘mastei geneial s (1qu1 tnunt is
making a strenuous effort to UJtfllH
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 1egiments, 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 Fian—
éisco by January 15.
The necessity of increasing the Uni-
ted States military force in the Phil--
ippines has been apparent to the ad-
ministration ever since Aguinaldo be-
gan to show his teeth. The insurgn
cuts in the island of Luzon alone are
paid to number thirty thousand whilc
General Otis has about twenty- two
thousand men, regulars .and volun—
teers.
About two thousand of these are at
110110. It is certain that no volunteers
will be withdraWn from the Philip-
pines when the regulars got there, as
Was inwtended unless a solution of the
present emergency is reached by that
time.
The situation has brought the naval
authorities to a realization that few
of the vessels in Admlml Dewey’s fleet
are suitable for service in rivers and
shallow harbors, where the insurgents
have fortifications.
About a month ago Admiral Dewey
suggested that some light draught ves-
sel be sent to him for use in the
streams leading to the interior of Lu-
zon and other islands.
'II‘:
The newly developed situation in the,
Philippines, however, has recalled to
official attention the suggestion of
Admiral Dewey, and steps were taken
yesterday to comply with his desire as
far as it lay in the power of the navy
department to do so.

A Procession of Old Women Moving
Towai (I Work and Something to Eat.
The number of old women who be;
on the streets seems larger this year
than ever before, says the New York
Sun. All the well known types are
out. But one role seems to be the
favorite. A wretched, poorly clad, fee-
ble old woman stops :1 'passerby. He
is proof against the pitiful tale of the
artful beg g'm; but this respectable old
soul doesn’t want to bog. Far from it.
She wants only information.
“Is it a long walk to 168th street,
sir?" she asks in a tremulous, weary
tone.
About a hundrcc and fifty blocks ”
The woman sighs and turns away
without another word. Then the vio-
tim does the expected thing.
"Why did you ask?” he says. ‘
“0211, I know a lady up there that
would help me, anal I’m going up to
ask her for work and something to
c:1t,11ut it‘s :1 long walk.”
She gets a c..1"211.1'e and goes on her
way rejoicing. If she isn’t on her way
to some charitable friend, she is bound
for a hospital and doesn’t quite see
how she 1-1111 walk so far. In the
course of one afternoon's shopping last
week a young woman met five respect-
able looking old women. all of whom
were toiling toward Harlem benefac-
tors. The story is being overworked.
but it is :1 good one.
A Grave Dissappointmcnt.
“The small son of the people.” says
the Philadelphia Record, “and his lit-
tle sister were inside the great West
Philadelphia church for the first time.
‘U111~—1n—n1y! but it’s a beaut place,‘
he whispered. ‘I bet people wot be-
long here comes every time day can.’
l-Ier breath came to her in little gasps.
Her soiled little finger pressed on his
with thrilled intensity. Her e) es fast
ed 011 the splendid chancel. ‘Heavcn
mus' be next door,’ she said. They
hardly moved throughout the service
and never once let go each other’s
hands, for it was :13 a strange land.
At, last the sweet-voiced procession of
choir boys came down the aisle. Al:
its head was :1 slim young seraph. with
