The foreign exchange market was flrner to-
day and more active than is ordinarily the case
on Saturday. Bankers were Of the opinion that
the gold export point would be reached next
week. an indication Of this being furnished by
the weekly statement OF imports Of merchandise
at this port published to-day. The record for
the week was extraordinary. despite the fact
that this is the season Of increasing imports and
that the movement has been stimulated by the
course Of tariff legislation in Washington. For
the week imports Of drygoods and general mer
chandse amounted in value to S1S.3S2. 010-
against S14 7S61S0 last week. So. 745,016 this
week last year and 50 O5e 16S in the same week
in 1S95-makng an excess Of imports over ex-
ports for the week in value OF $11, 3S6.S12. The
weeks increass raises the total value of imports
at this port from January l to $196,O1O,911.
against SIG 957 in the same time last year,
and S1S3, S77924 in the corresponding period OF
1895. In view Of this enormous increase in I'm
ports the strength in the foreign exchange mar
ket is not surprising. and II the movement con-
tinues at its present rate the exports OF gold
are likely to run very much in excess OF esti-
mates already made. Last weeks heavy gold
exports were reflected in this weeks statement
of the associated banks. the loss thus sustained

Attempt 10 Blow 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
ofdynamite underneath Serkin's house.
directly under his sleeping rooms.
One end of the house was blown into
spllnters and Serkin and his family
were hurled from their beds by the
shock, but, beyond a few bruises re-
celved by two of his children in their
fail from bed, the family escaped un-
injured. Four men were seen run
ming 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.

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
e-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
.hree seats lower, the one which is US
ually occupied by the Serseant-at-
Arms of the Senate. When he took
his seat, President Cleveland and Prasi

Few boys withstand an illness of so serious
n nature rs that with which Fred l.. Howse
was year ago afflicted. Fred is now Gtteen
years Of age, and attends the public schools.
His home fs No. 80 Plymouth Place, Cleve-
land, Ohio, and he is now picture Of puerile
health and vigor. Ih<he fall of 1895, however,
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Howse,
the former, well-known business man,
whose Office is in the Arcade, had almost de-
SPARED of saving his life. The lad became
afflicted with infammatory rheumatism
which affected his entire body, and accom-
panying that painful ailment were several
other very serious disorders When she was
requested to describe her sons sickness and
his recovery, Mrs. Howse said
1t was in September 1895 that Fred
who was up to that time in delicate health,
was attacked by in1ammatory rheumatism,
1t was q very acute case for Nc was confined
to his bed, and was unable to move even his
arms or legs without bringing on ezcruciat-
ing pain.
~ aside from the rheumatism Fred's liver
was in serious disorder, and he used to vomit
frequently. He was also subject to fainting
spells, and altogether he had very serious
sickness.
"We knew, Of course, that though the
rheumatism was exceedingly painful, it was
not necessarily dangerous the faintng spells
and vomiting however alarmed us. Often
when Fred tainted he would lay like one
dead. His face would become ashen pale

WeYler Returns to Havana.
No Cheers Greet the Captain General
Campaign a Failure.

Captain General Weyler returned
to Havana on March a. The scene
was vastly different from that which
characterized his return from the
Specification" Of the province of Pinar
del Rio. Instead of riding through
crowds of cheering admirers he walk
ed from the waterside to the palace
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 being made to welcome him.
No reason is given for General
Weyler's return to Havana. 1t is gen.
orally we'll 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,
lodged past his columns and pursued
their way westward. 1t is thought
that the change in administration in
Washington 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.

strain Of great physical suffering that

Inauguration Day.
The first thing President Mckinley
did when he awoke this morning was
to look out of his window and see what
kind of day had dawned. Major
Mckinley arose early, and, fol-
lowing the example set him by
James Madison and John Quincy
Adams, he donned suit of clothes
made entirely of American wool and
American manufacture. Both of his
predecessors named wore American
made clothes, and special mention Of
this is made in their biographies.

BY the time all were seated the hour
of noon had arrived, and Vice

then made his valedictory address,

He then delivered his address to the
Senate and when he had finished he de-
clared the Senate ready for organiza-

1t was then that the new Senators
were brought forward and took the
oath of office. After they had all been

Breakfast was served to the Pres
ident-elect and Mrs. Mckinley in their
private dining room, and the occasion
was made joyous one by the pres
ence of 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 ladies' 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 Senate Committee,
Senators Sherman and Mitchell (of

The President-elect and Senator Sher-
man occupied the back seat, with
Senator Mitchell facing them. The
carriage proceeded on F street

followed by the military escort. On
entering the house Major Mckinley
