NATIONAL CAPI1MJ 1B AFFAIRS H One-Da- y President Put It in Biography WASHINGTON.Is found "President in the a member of the L'nlted Stales senate who served in that body over 80 years ago. David R. Atchison, famous cltl-se- n of Missouri, and for whom the city of Atchison, Kan., Is named, was president pro tempore of the senate when Zachary Taylor was to have been I Inaugurate on the fourth of March, I 1840. The day coming on Sunday the old rough and ready Whig President re-fused to huve the ceremony on Sunday and neglected to take the oath of otHce prior to the noon hour 'of March 6 when President Taylor was sworn In through the regulur ceremony on the east front of the cnpltol. As Senator Atchlaon was president pro tempore of the senate, and consti-tutional provision had been In force After years of doubtful constitution-ality and dangers congress in 1886 re-pealed the old ucts of Kiecutlve va-cancies, and provided that In suca cases the succession of the Presidency should next pass to the secretary of state and on to the other members of the cabinet. President Taylor, It seems, did not give so much attention to the matter as did the Missouri senator, who was careful to have the fact that he was "President for a day" recorded in bis biography. Atchison wus a native of Kentucky and figured conspicuously In the Missou-ri- Kansas troubles Just prior to the Civil war. There have been other inauguration days that fell on Sunday, but the pre-caution has been tuken to administer the oath before tho actual lnaugura- - since 1703 for thut officer to assume the Presidency in case there was a vacancy for any reason In the office of President and vice president.

Under the constitutional authority congress in 1703 provided, In case of vacancy In the office of President and vice president for any reason, the pre-siding officer of the senate or the speaker of the house should succeed to the Presidency. tlon ceremony, so that March 8 would be the public swearing in and but a formality, repeated for the benefit of the thousands who come to Washing-ton at our quadrennial occasion of Ex-ecutive chunge or succession at the head of the government. On account of the rumors that Sam-uel J. Tilden would take the oath for the Presidency ou the 3d of March, 1877 (the 4th being on Sunday), Presi-dent Hayes, It Is said, took the oath of office on Saturday, the 3d, and re-peated the same on the 5th, at the east front of the cspitol. The 4th of March came on Sunday at the beginning of President Wil-son's second term. He took the oath of office on Sunday the 4th, and again in front of the cnpltol on the 5th.
