the president's private carriage, seated on
the rear seat the pre i lent on the right.
McKlnley raised his hat only occasionally,
leaving to the admiral to acknowle go
the plaudits of the multitud - by lifting hi

From end to end the avenue rang with
deafening cheers and the banks of hu-
manity took op life and motion, as nag
and handkerchiefs were waved madly.
Following the admiral came the officers
and men of his flagship, the Oivnipla, in
double ranks, stretch.ed aero* 4

navy and army. The members of the ■
Inet rode in carriages. With them

Glittering in the brilliant autumn sun-
shine the parade filled the mile broad av-
enue from treasury to capltol, with a
swaying mass of color. Passing the Peace
monument it wound up the hill to the
