BROOKLYN*, March 10.—Though not un
expected, the announcement of tho death
i>f Mrs. Henry Ward Beochut at the homo
nf her daughtor, Mrs. Samuel Scovllle, at
Stamford. Conn., occasioned koeuand gen
eral regret in this citjußnd especial sor

tomorrow and will lie in state from 10 a. in.
until 2 p. in., when public funeral serv
ices will bo hold under the direction of
Rev. Lyman Abbott, who succeeded the
lute Henry Ward Beeehcr as of his
toric Plymouth church. A remarkable co
incidence is that Mrs. Beochcr died on tho
tenth anniversary of hor husband's death.
Eunice White Bceoher, wife of tlio ro
uowned pulpit orator, was born at West
Sutton, Worcester county, Mass., 84 years
ago. She was the daughter of a physician,
Dr. Artemas Bui lard, whose son was a
student at Amherst college at the same
ti 1110 as Mr. Boucher.
It was in this way that she came to
meet her future husband. Tho latter was
Invited by young Billiard to spend a vaca
tion at West Sutton.
After they had known one another but a
very short while they became betrothed,
though she was not 18 years of age and
he was about the same age. It was not. un
til seven years later, however, when Beech
er had already been ordained and called to
bis first charge at Lawronoeburg, Ind., |
that they were married. For two years
Mr. and Mrs. Beochcr remained at Law
rencohurg, whore they lived very frugally,
for Mr. Boucher's income was none of the
larg ■!".
Mrs. Beecher hi s tt.ld of their early ex- '
perlencus in housekeeping. They liad lit
tle money. Boarding was not to be
thought of, for it would have swallowed
up her husband's income. At last they
found two rooms, dirty beyond description,
which had formerly been occupied by a
laborer and his wife. Having cleaned the !
rooms thoroughly, they next fell to seek
ing furniture.
Star!lug Housekeeping.
Mrs. Beecher has given a vivid descrip
tion of how they picked up a study table j
and chair here, a scrap of old carpet there
and all the other little things that woro 1
necessary to furnish their new apartments, j
Sometimes it was tho remains of an old 1
bookshelf found among the rubbish that !
had been thrown into the back yard as
kindling wood, which was carefully clean- '
ed and varnished and placed against the '
wall of Mr. Beechor's study, sometimes
the remains of an old coat, good for noth
ing else, which was carefully cleaned and
converted into a table cover. So by de
grees they succeeded in making themselves ;
a home.
Afterward they moved to Indianapolis, !
where they remained until 1847, when Mr.
Beecher was called to Plymouth church in
Brooklyn. Mrs. Beochcr had ten children,
of whom only four—three sons and a
daughter—are now living. During most j
of the latter part of her life she dwelt in a 1
little houso on tho comer of Hicks and
; Orange streets, Brooklyn.
It was at the Boucher home in Indian- !
Apolis, it is said, that Harriet Beecher j
Stowe, the preacher's celebrated sister, re
ceived the inspiration which resulted in
the production of "Uncle Tom's Cabin."
1 Mrs. Beecher went to Port Town ah end,
Wash., in August, 1895, unattended, to
celebrate her eighty-third birthday and to
visit her youngest son, Herbert. She stood
the journey well and returned in good
health and spirits. A few months ago she
went to visit her daughter, Mrs. Samuel
Scovillo, in Stamford, and while there foil
and fractured hor hip. This accident
proved too much for her vitality. She was
never afterward able to leave the house
ami sank slowly but surely until her death.
Mrs. Beechor's living children are Mrs.
Samuel Scovllle of Stamford, Colonel j
Henry Barton Beecher of Brooklyn, Wil
liam, a lawyer, with an office in tho Broad
way bank building, New York, and Hor
bort, captain of a steamship on the Pacific
| coast.

INAUGURATION SPEECH.
President McK in ley's Outlines of the
Policy of tlio Admiuistratioo.
The following is President McKinloyT
address outlining the policy of his admin
istration:
FELLOW CITIZENS—In obedience to the will
of thu people and in their presence, bytheau
thority vested in me by this oath, I assume
the urdnouH and responsible duties of presi
dent of the United States, relying on the sup
port of my countrymen and invoking the guid
anoe of Almighty God. Our faith teaches that
there is no safer reliance than upon the God
of our fathers, who has so singularly favored
the American people in every national trial,
and who will not forsake us so long us we obey
his commandments and walk humbly in hit
footsteps.
The responsibilities of the high trust tc
which I have boon called—always of grave im
portance—are augmented by the prevailing
business conditions, entailing idleness upon
willing labor and loss to useful enterprises.
The country is suffering from industrial dis
turbances from which speedy relief must be
had. Our financial system ueedssome revision.
Our money is all good now, but its value must
not further bo threatened. It should all ho
put upon an enduring basis, not subject to
easy attack, nor its stability to doubt or dis
pute. Our currency should continue under
the supervision of the government. The sev
eral forms of our paper money offer, in my
judgment* a constant embarrassment to the
government and a safe balance in the treasury.
Therefore I believe it necessary to devise a
system which, without diminishing the circu
lating medium or offering a premium for its
contraction, will present a remedy for those
arrangements which, temporary in their na
ture, might well in the years of our prosper
ity have been displaced by wiser provisions.
With adequate revenue secured—but not until
then—we can enter upon such changes in our
flnanco laws as will, while insuring safety and
volume to our money, no longer impose upon
the government thu necessity of maintaining
so large a gold reserve, with its attendant and
inevitable temptations to speculation. Most
of our financial laws are the outgrowth of ex
perience and trial and should not be amended
without investigation and demonstration of
the wisdom of the proposed changes. We must
bo both "sure we are right" and "make haste
slowly." If, therefore, congress in its wisdom
shall deem it expedient to create a commission
to take under eurly consideration the ruvision
of our coinage, banking and currency laws and
give them that exhaustive, careful and dispas
sionate examination that their importance de
mands, I shall cordially concur in such action.
If such power is vested in the president, it is
my purpose to appoint a commission of prom
inent, well informed citizens of different par
ties, who will command public confidence both
on account of their ability and special fitness
for the work. Business experience and public
training may thus be combined, and the patri
otic zeaP of the friends of the country bo so di
rected that such a report will be made as to
receive tlio suppbrt of all parties and our
finances cense to be the subject of mere parti
san contention. The experiment is, at all
events, worth a trial, and, in my opinion, it
can hut prove beneficial to the entire country.
I nternat ioual 111 in otall Ism.
The question of international bimetallism
will have curly and earnest attention. It will
be my constant endeavor to secure it by co
operation with the other great commercial
powers of the world. Until that condition is
realized when the parity between our gold and
silver money springs from and is supported by
the relative value of the two metals, the value
of the silvor already coined and of that which
may hereafter bo coined must be kept con
stantly at par with gold by e\Twy resource at
our command. The credit of the government,
the integrity of its currency and the inviola
bility of its obligations must bo preserved.
This was the commanding verdict of the peo
pie, and it will not be unheeded.
Economy is demanded in every branch of the
government at all times, but especially in pe
riods like the present of depression in business
and distress among the people. The severest
economy i#ust be observed in all public ex
penditures and extravagance stopped wher
ever it is found and prevented wherever in
the future it may he developed. If the reve
nues are to remain as now, the only relief that
can come must be from decreatMd expendi
tures. But the present must not Deeome the
permanent condition of the government. Ic
lias been our uniform practice to retire, not
increase, our outstanding obligations, and this
policy must again be resumed and vigorously
enforced. Our revenues should always be
large enough to meet with ease and promptness
not only our current needs and the principal
and interest of the public debt, but to make
proper and liberal provision for that most do
serving body of public creditors, the soldiers
and the sailors and the widows and orphans
who are the pensioners of the United States.
The government should not be permitted to
run behind or increase its debt in times like
the present.
Suitably to provide against this is the man
date of duty, the certain and easy remedy for
most of our financial difficulties. A deficiency
is inevitable so long as the expenditures of the
government exceed its receipts. It can only
be met by loans or an increased revenue.
AH to Revenue.
While a large annual surplus of revenue may
invite waste and extravagance, inadequate
revenue creates distrust and undermines pub
lie and private credit.
Neither should he encouraged. Between
more loans and more revenue there ought to
bo but one opinion. We should have more rev
enuc, and that without delay, hindrance or
postponement. A surplus in the treasury cre
ated by loans is not a permanent or safe reli
ance. It will suffice while it lasts, but it can
not last long while the outlays of the govern
ment are greater than its receipts, us has been
the case during the past two years. Nor must
it be forgotten that, however much such loans
may temporarily relieve the situation, the gov
ernment is still indebted for the amount of tlie
surplus thus accrued, which it must ultimate
ly pay, while its ability to pay iH not strength
ened, but weakened, by a continued deficit.
Loans are imperative in great emergencies to
preserve the government or its credit, but a
failure to supply needed revenue in time of
ponce for the maintenance of either has no
justification.
Tim host way for the government to main
tain its credit iH to pay as it goes, not by re
sorting to loans, hut by keeping out of debt
through an adequate income secured by a sys
tem of taxation, external or internal, or both.
It is the settled policy of the government, pur
sued from the beginning and practiced by all
parties and administrations, to raise the bulk
of our revenue from taxes upon foreign pro
ductions entering the United States for sale
and consumption, and avoiding for the most
part every form of direct taxation, except in
; time of war.
Tarlfl* Taxation.
i The country is clearly opposed to any neod
luss additions to tin- subject of internal taxa
tion and is committed by its latest popular ut
terance to the system of tariff taxation. There
can bo no misunderstanding, either, about
the principle upon which this tariff taxation
shall be levied. Nothing has ever beon made
plainer at a general election than that the con
trolling principle in the raising of revenue
from duties on imports is zealous care for
American interests and American labor. The
people have declared that such legislation
should be had as will give ample protection
and encouragement to the industries and the
j development of our country. It is therefore
I earnestly hoped and expected that congress
will at the earliest practicable) moment enact
| revenue legislation that shall be fair, reason
able, conservative and just, and which, while
i supplying sufficie nt revenue for public pur
j poses, will still be generally beneficial and
| helpful to every section and every enterprise
of the people. To this policy wo are till, of
whatever party, firmly bound by the voice of
the people—a power vastly more potential than
the expression of any politicul platform. The
paramount duty of congress is to stop defi
ciencies by the restoration of that protective
legislation which has always been the firmest
prop of the treasury. The passage of such a
law or luws would strengthen the credit of the
government, both at home and abroad, and go
far toward stopping the drain upon the gold
reserve held for the redemption of our cur
renoy, which has been heavy and well nigh
constant for several years.
Reciprocity.
In the revision of that tariff especinl atten
tion should be given to the re-enactment and
extension of the reciprocity principle of the
law of 1890, under which so groat a stimulus
was given to our foreign trade in new and nd
, vantageous markets for our surplus agricul
tural and manufactured products. The brief
! trial givon this legislation amply justifies a
further experiment and additional discretion
: ary power in the making of commercial trea
ties, the end in view always to be the opening
I up of now markets for the products of our
country, by granting concessions to the prod-
I uets of other lands that wo need and cannot
produce ourselves and which do not involye
any loss of labor to our own people, but tend
to increase their employment,
i The depression of the past four years hat
fallen with especial severity upon the great
body of toilers of the country, and upon none
more than the holders of small farms. Agri
< culture has languished and labor suffered.
The revival of manufacturing will be u relief
to both. No portion of our population is more
devoted, to the institutions of free government
or more loyal in their support, while none
bears more cheerfully or fully itH proper share
in the maintenance of the government or is
better entitled to its wise and liberal cure and
protection. Legislation helpful to producers
is beneficial to all. Tho depressed condition
of industry on the farm and in the mine and
factory has lessened the ability of the people
to meet the demands upon them, and they
j rightfully expect that not only a system of
revenue shall be established that will securo
tho largest income with the least burden, but
that every means will bo taken to decrease
rather than increase our public expenditures.
Business conditions are not the most promis
ing. It will take time to restore the prosper
ity of former years. If we cannot promptly
attain it, we can resolutely turn our faces in
that direction and uid its return by friendly
legislation. However troublesome the situa
tion may appear, congress will not, I am sure,
bo found lacking in disposition or ability to
relieve it as far as legislation can do so. The
restoration of conQdonco and the revival of
business, which men of ull parties so much de
sire, depend more largely upon the prompt,
energetic and intelligent action of congress
than upon any other single agency affecting
the situation.
President McKinloy refers briefly to tho
lesson taught by tho into election, which,
lie says, is "that the citizens of tho United
States are both law respecting and law
abiding people, not easily swerved from
the path of patriotism and honor."
"Our naturalization and immigration
laws," ho says, "should bo further im
proved, to the constant promotion of a
safer, a better and a higher citizenship."
in referring to international commerce
the president says, "gongross should give
prompt attention to tno induration of oar
American merchant marine, once tho pride
of the seas in all tho greut ocean highways
of commerce."
Referring to our foreign relations, which
by inference covers tho Cuban question,
President MoKinley says:
It has been the policy of tho United States
since tno foundation of the govonrmont to cul
tivate relations of peace and utility with all
the nations of the world, and this accords with
my conception of our duty now. Wo have
cherished the policy of noninterfuroiico with
the affairs of foreign governments, wisely in
augurated by Washington, keeping ourselves
free from entanglement either us allies or foes,
content to leave undisturbod with them tho
settlement of their own domostio concerns. It
will bo our aim to pursue a firm rfhil dignified
foreign policy, which shall he just, impartial,
ever watchful of our national honor and al
ways insisting upon the enforcement of tho
lawful rights of American citizens every
where.
Referring to arbitration, the president
says: "Peuco is preferable to war in al
most every contingency. Arbitration is
the true method of settlement of interna
tional as well as local or individual differ
ences."
He urges the early uotion of the senate
on the pending Anglo American arbitra
tion treaty, not meroly as a matter of pol
icy, but as a duty to mankind.
Extra Session of Congress.
It has been tlio uniform practice of each
president to avoid as far as possible the con
vening of congress in extraordinary session. It
is an example which, under ordinary dream*
stances and in the absence of a public neces
sity, is to bo commended, but a failure to con
vene the representatives of the people in con
gress in extra session when it involves neglect
of a public duty places the responsibility of
such neglect upon the executive himself. The
condition of the public treasury, as has been
indicated, demands the immediate considera
tion of congress. It alone haH the power to
provide revenues for the government. Not to
convene it under such circumstances I can
view in no other sense than the neglect of a
plain duty. Ido not sympathize with the son
tiinont that congress in session is dangerous to
our business interests. Its members are the
agents of the people, and their presence at the
sent of government in the execution of sov
ereign will should not oporuto as an injury,
but as a benelit.
There could be no better time to put the gov
ernment upon a sound financial and economic
basis than now. The people have only recent
ly voted that this should be done, and nothing
is more binding upon the agents of their will
than the obligation of immediate action. It
has always Heeined to mo that, the postpone
ment of the meetings of congress until more
than a year after it has boon chosen deprived
congress too often of the inspiration of the
popular will, and the country of the cbrre
spending benefits. It is evident, therefore, that
to postpone action in the presence of so great
a necessity would bo unwise on the part of the
executive because unjust to the interests of
the people. Our actions now will be freer from
mere partisan consideration than if the ques
tion of turiff revision was postponed until the
regular session of congress. We are nearly two
years from a congressional election, and poli
tics cannot so greatly distract us as if such
1 contest was immediately ponding. We can ap
proach the problem calmly and patriotically,
without fearing its effect upon an early elec
tion. Our fellow citizens who may disagree
with us upon the character of this legislation
prefer to have the question settled now, even
: against their preconceived views, and perhaps
settled so reasonably, as I trust and believe it
will be, us to insure great permanence—than
to have further uncertainty menacing the va
ried business interests of the United States.
Again, whatever autinn congress may take
will be given a fair opportunity for trial be
fore the people are called to pass judgment on
it, and this I consider a great essential to the
I rightful and lasting settlement of the question.
In view of these considerations, I shall deem it
my duty as president to convene congress in
extraordinary session on Monday, the 15th day
, of March, 1897.
Aftor a few congratulatory words the
prosidont said In conclusion:
Let mo again repeat the words of the oath
administered by the chief justice, which, in
[ their respective spheres, so far as applicable,
1 would have nil my countrymen observe:
"I will faithfully execute the office of prcsi
dent of the United StnteH and will, to the best
of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the
constitution of the United States." This is the
obligation I have reverently taken before the
Lord most high. To keep it will be my single
I purpose, my constant prayer, and I shall con
| fldently rely upen the forbearance and assist
ance of all the people in the discharge of my
| solemn responsibilities.

GREECE TO POWERS.
TELLS THEM THAT SHE WILL RECALL
HER FLEET.
The Flacky I.lttle Nation Will Not With
draw Her Troops From Crete—Will Not
Permit Further Massacre of Christian
by the Fanatical Mussulmans*
ATHENS, March 9. —The Grecian cabinot
lias sent its reply to the demand of the
I owers. It if. conciliatory in tone but reso
lute, and, while expressing a willingness
lo withdraw tho Greek fleet from Cretan
waters, insists that the lund force shall re
main on tho island to protect the Chris
tians from pillage and gnassaore by the
Mussulmans. Reference is made to six pre
vious insurrections in Crete and It argues
the unlikelihood tbutthe present proposals
of the powers will terminate a stato of
revolution.
Regarding the proposition for autonomy
under Turkish suzerainty, the reply says:
"As autonomy would not fulfill tho no
hie aim of the powers it is obvious what
! must i>e the situation of tho unhappy is
-1 land from today until the establishment of
| autonomy. If tho powers persevere in their
decisions in tlie face of the foregoing views,
\ then, in the name of humanity as well as
in the interests of Crete, tho pacifying of
which is the uniquo object of tho solici
; tude of the powers, we do not hesitate to
' appeal to them on tho subject of another
measure proposed by them—namely, the
j recall of our troops.
Keady to Withdraw Fleet.
"Indeed, if tho presence of the foreign
1 squadrons and the conviction that they
prevent the landing of Turkish troops aro
deemed to render unnecessary the presence
of tho Greek ficot in Cretan waters, tho
presence of tho Greek army In Crete is nev
artheless shown to bo desirable alike from
sentiments of. humanity and in the inter
est of a definitive restoration of order.
! "Duty forbids us to abandon tho Cre
tans to the mercy of Mussulman fanati
cism and to tho Turkish army, which al
ways deliberately and intentionally has
shared in the aggressive acts of the popu
i lace against tho Christians. Moreover, if
our own troops, which are worthy%he full
est confidence of the powers, had received
a mandate to pacify the island, their do
| sires and intentions would have been
promptly received with tho most perfect
satisfaction. Then, order being restored,
it would be possible to ascertain tho freely
sxpressod desires of the Cretans for a de
cision as to their fate. The sorrows which
have regularly occurred in Crete for many
decados not only profoundly agitato the
Hellenic people, but interrupt also all so
, cial activity and gravely disturb our do
mostio economy and the finances of tho
state. Even if wo admit tho possibility of
forgetting for a single instant our commu
nity with tho Crotans in religion, race and
blood, wo oould not in silence allow the
groat powers to assumo that the Greek
state iH able longer to rosist such shocks.
I "Therefore we appeal to tho generous
sontiments animating tho powers, and wo
beg them to permit the Crofcan people them
selves to declare how they desiro to bo gov
erned."
To. Give Greece More Time.
I LONDON, March 10. —Tho communiea
' tions which Lord Salisbury wired to the
powers concerning the reply of Greece to
tho collective note of tho powers have re
sulted in tho concurrence of France and
Italy with Great Rritain that coercive
measures toward Greece should bo delayed
1 and negotiations continued at Athens. A
telegram received at the foreign office from
Homo states that tho Italian government
considers the Greek note of too negative
a character to justify the powers in taking
immediate action.

This is the first triumph of tho new di
