The American President
SWEARING IN CEREMONY,
(Press Association.—Copyright.)
WASHINGTON, March 5,
At the swearing in of President McKinley for his second term he received a great ovation. He addressed a gathering numbering 40,000. The key note of his speech was the duties and privileges of a greater America and the necessity for liberal and reciprocal trade relations with other countries. He justified America's policy of moderation and fairness in China, and their desire for close friendship with Cuba and assisting her into the position of a separate nation. He stated 1 his determination to give self goverment to the Philippines as soon as the inhabitants really desired the change. Thirty thousand troops marched to the White House, where President McKinley reviewed them. The feature of the military display was the presence of the native Porto Rican
regiment.
