WHAT DID IT MEAN ?
Was the Neglect to Provide Seats in the
 Senate for the Cabinet Inten-
 tional or Purely Acci- ls4, 1if dental? a.ilsi ...

Washington, D. G., March 5.-The cause of Secretary Olney's conspicuous non-participation in any of the inaugural ceremonies is explained as follows:
 The members of the cabinet in discuss ing at the cabinet meeting last Tuesday, the parts assigned to them in the inau- gural proceedings found no provision in the programme for their seats in senate chamber or on the stand in front of the capitol. Secretary Thurber at t.once com Inunicated with Senator Sherman,- chair man of the arrangements committee, who replied The heads of the departments had been provided for on the stand, but not in the senate. The programme was again consulted and this was found to be true, but they were in the rear of the members of the house of representatives, whereupon Secretary Olney declared he would not go to the capitol at all. All the members of the cabinet agreed upon this action, but when MT. Mckinley came to the White House yesterday and started with MT Cleveland he noticed that the cabinet officers were not going to ac- company the parade and on inquiry learned the reason Sena tor Sherman, who was present, immediately offered to give front seats to the secretaries on the floor of the senate and MT. Cleveland's advisers consented to attend the cere- monies. None of them, however went on the stand as "heads of departments to listen to the inaugural, but hurried off to Secretary Lamonts house to bid Mrs. Cleveland good bye.
 Secretary Olney did not get Mr. Me- Kinley's verbal invitation to go to the capitol. because he was not at the White House with his colleagues in the meeting, being detained at the state department all day on important matters. He went, however, to the ball in the evening, pre- pared to escort Mrs. Mckinley according to the adopted programme, but this was discouraged at the last moment by Mrs. McKinley's weak condition, compelling her to have other assistance.

Paris, March 5.-The Figaro publishes a report of an interview with M. de Lay

STRUCK BY A STORM.
Nashville and Nearby Towns Have an Uncomfortable Experience With the
 Wind-Hay Houses Unroofed

Nashville, Tenn, March 5.--A vigorous, brief. but terrifying cyclone struck Nash vile today about 9:30 o'clock, doing con- siderable damage. For the third time since its erection nearly half century ago the y-piercing spire which adorns the MoKendree church. possibly the larg- est and wealthiest southern Methodist congregation in the union, has suffered injury. This time it has been completely wrecked, lifted from it's base and scat tered over the tops of adjacent business houses and piled in the nearby allies.
 Rumors were at once circulated that the centennial buildings had been wreck ed, but, strange to say, they came through unscathed.
 Scores of the big downtown business houses were unroofed, and the Masonic temple slightly damaged. No fatalities have been reported as yet.
 News comes from Rives, small town in west Tennessee, that several houses were unroofed by a cyclone this morning. The Illinois Central railroad depot and Memphis and Charleston Railroad hotel were both badly damaged. The office and large barn at the race track were completely demolished. No loss of life or stock is reported.
 Manchester fifty miles southeast of Nashville, was struck by short but vigorous wind storm about noon, and several houses unroofed.
