THE PLAN OF The Inaugural Address Was a Dignified, Conservative and Plain Exposition ol Republican Principle, With No TIiikb of Crlttrism for Pant Administrations, or for llrynn, or Free Silver.

Citizen McKlnley waa installed as chief executive of these United States to-day, Retiring President Cleveland did as much for the succc33 of the occasion as he could, but his huge frame was racked with rheumatic pains which on Tuesday had kept him to his bed, and It was under the strain of great physical suffering that he performed his part. General Horace Porter, as marshal of the untrained host, seemed omnipres ent, while Mark Hanna was quite as conspicuous among the statesmen and politicians. Many forms of civilization crush one upon the other here. The farmer from Levinsville, Va., fvlth his farm truck crowd upon the carriage of an Ambas sador.

The first thing President McKinley did when he awoke this morning waa to look out of his window and see what kind of a day had dawned. Major McKinley arose early, and, fol lowing the example set him by James Madlaon and John Quincy Adams, he donned a suit of clothes made entirely of American wool and American manufacture. Both of hia predecessors named wore Amorlcan made clothes, and a special mention of this is made in their biographies. SECRETARY OP STATE SHERMAN. Breakfast was served to the President-elect and Mrs. McKinley in their private dining room, and the occasion was made a joyous one by the pres ence of a number of the party which ac. companies Major McKinley to Washing ton. Following the breakfast, the President-elect received a few of his friends. , The carriages of the committee were drawn up on F street, at the ladles' en trance to the hotel, and the President elect and the Senate Committee de scended from their rooms on the third floor by the elevator and walked through the corridor to the carriages. The military escort lined up on F street, and, as the President-elect en tered the carriage, accompanied by the two members of the Seuate Committee, Senators Sherman and Mitchell (of Wisconsin), they saluted. From White Bouse to Capitol. The President-elect and Senator Sher man occupied the back seat, with Senator Mitchell facing them. The carriage proceeded on F street to Fifteenth, and to Pennsylvania avo nue, and thence to the White House, followed by the military escort.

After a low minutes of groetlng Presi dent CleveUud and Presldont-elect Mc Kinley, accompanied by Senators Sher man and Mitchell, left the White House ant! entor the President's private carriage This was drawn by four horses. The procession under the mili tary escort and nhe President-elect's Ouard-of-Honor then proceeded down tho avenue to the Capitol. The procession halted at the east entrance of the Senate wing of the Capi tol, a passageway having been kept by the soldiers and police for the carri ages. The groat plaza in front of the biff White building on Capitol Hill was packed with the citizens from all over the United States who had gath wed to see the oath administered. The crowds had an excellent oppor tunlty to see both the President and t'resldent-elect, for after leaving their carriages they climbed the broad steps leading to the Senate entrance. Meanwhile the President and President-elect held a reception in the President's room. The scene in che Marble Room and in the rooms where the President and President sleet remain is always one of great in terest as well as of brilliant display. The Diplomatic Corps, in their court costumes, assemble in the beautiful Marble Room to await their entrance to the Senate chamber. Ceremonies In tha Senate. No one is admitted to the Senate wing of the Capitol except those hold ing tickets, the galleries being divided off for different classes of invited guesta. The diplomatic gallery is re served for the families of the Diplo matic Corps, and the executive gallery Is reserved for the families of the Pres ident, Vice-President, President-elect, and the Presidential party. The Sen ators' families and friends have their own gallery, and the public gallery is given over to the families and friends of the members of the House; if there are any seats remaining those who have general tickets may. take them. TAKIXa THE OATH. In the meantime, the procession of those who had seats on the floor was being formed, and as each body of distin guished men entered the south door, they were announced by Doorkeeper Alonzo Stewart. The Diplomatic Corps were introduced first and took their seats. Then came the Supreme Court, followed by the Cabi net, the officers of the army and navy, the Governors of States, and last the members of the House of Representatives, followed by the members-elect of the next Con gress. When they were all seated, the Vice-President-elect was escorted to the seat on the right of Vice-President Stevenson, but not on the dais with him, for he occupied the seat two or three seats lower, the one which Is us ually occupied by the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate. When he took his seat, President Cleveland and PrMi dent-eleot McKinley entered from the south door leading from the grand cor- INTERIOR 07 PENSION BUILDING. ridor, and were escorted by the Com mittee of Arrangements to the two large leather chairs in front of the Vice-President's desk. Vice-President Hobart Takes tha Oath. By the time all were seated the hour of noon had arrived, and Vice President Stevenson rapped the Sen ate to order and administered the sath of office to Vice-President-elect Hobart. The retiring Vice-President then made his valedictory address, and after he had finished he rapped the body to order and declare the Sen na adjourned sine die. Immediately Secretary of the Senate William R. Cox read the President's proclama tion convening the Senate in Senate in executive session called executive be cause only one branch of Congress is in session.

This was due, per haps, to his unexpected arrival, which did not allow of any official prepara tions Deing made to welcome him. No reason is given for General Weyler's return to Havana. It is gen erally well known that his campaign in Matanzas and Santa Clara has been an ignominious failure and while he was claiming to have compelled the insurgents to retreat eastward to Puerto Principe they had, in fact, dodged past his columns and pursued their way westward. It is thought that the change in administration in tvasmngton may have much, if not all, to do with his return, as he has been led to believe that President McKinley will not sanction the illegal arrest and detention of American citi zens.

Dynamiters at Work. Attempt to Blow a Mount Carmel Family Into Eternity. A nearly successful attempt was made Thursday night at Mount Carmel to blow Andrew Serkin and his family into eternity by exploding dynamite beneath his house. Some persons, at present unknown, exploded the charge of dynamite underneath Serkin's house, directly under his sleeping rooms. One end of the house was blown into splinters and Serkin and his family were hurled from their beds by the shock, but, beyond a few bruises re ceived by two of his children in their fall from bed, the family escaped un injured. Four men were seen run ning away from the house after the explosion and were chased, but escaped.

He was making a pencil drawing of an old house in the town, as he saw it through the leafless trees, when a lady came along the walk ana paused behind him. "Ah! you are sketching the Phelps house," she said. "I never knew any one to try that before." . He inquired eagerly whether she were sure that it was the Phelps homestead. "I was not quite satisfied with my informa tion, he added, "but that is why I am doing it." "lean satisfy you on that point," was the reply. "Why do you ask ?" Whereupon he broke into boyishly expressed praise of Miss Phelps, all of whose books he said he had read with his mother at home, lhe lady smiled and made him a little bow.
