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.

tion, ranging in scope from the county
fair to the inauguration of a president.
Tuesday morning Major McKinley,
with his wife and mother and a large
party of friends, arrived Iroin Canton.
In the evening the incoming President
was entertained at dinner by Mr. and
Mrs. .Cleveland. Mrs. McKinley was
unable to attend owing to the fatigue
of her journey.

Inaugural Ion Day.
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. On
entering the house Major McKinley

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.

costumes, assemble in the beautiful

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

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

then made his valedictory address,

Weyler Returns to Havana-
No Cheers Greet the Captain General His
Campaign a Failure
Captain General Wevler returned
to Havana on March a. The

characterized his return from the
"pacification" of the province of Pinar
del Rio. Instead of ridino- ihrnncrh
crowds of cheering admirers he walk-

where he soon retired to his apart
ments, without having received any
popular welcome. 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. The Shakers have mad a Hi

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. Serkin knows of no enemies
that he has or any reason for the at
tempt upon the lives of himself and
family.
A Student's Adventure.
A young student at Andover relates
a pleasant adventure. 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. "I ara much obliged to your
mother," she said amusedly. "VVi'l
