FEARS OF CHRISTMAS RIOTING BETWEEN THE
WHITE AND BLACK MINERS.
BEv1ER, Mo-, Dec. 26-Much apprehension
was felt among law abiding citizens yesterday
In regard to the white and black miners, but no
conflict occurred between them. On Christmas
eve the negroes had dance at the stockade,
and many of them were intoxicated and revolt
vers were frequently f1ourished. Several fights
occurred among them and all night long there
was shooting going on without fatal effect,
however. Citizens claim that all the shooting
was done by the negroes, and the negroes claim
that some of the white miners did the shooting.
Yesterday the negroes remained in the stock
ade drinking heavily. There was also great
deal of drinking among the white men, and
frequent fights occurred on both sides. A large
number of both black and white miners went
to Macon to-day, and the authorities there were
somewhat alarmed and took extraordinary pre-
cautious to prevent trouble by enlisting extra
police. Several alterations took place, but
prompt arrests prevented riot.

The White House Hand.Shak ing.

OVER HUNDRED VISITORS TO SEE THE PRESI-
DENT TO-DAY-wAYS OF THE LADY CALLERS
One hundred and twenty-five visitors shook
hands with the President to-day. Nearly every
other one wished him a "merry Christmas"
and but few were given a chance to say any
thing more. The President has the knack of
keeping the line moving. He reaches out his
tor gently along and lets go just in time to meet
the next one. Nearly all the lady visitors turn
after shaking hands with the President and
take a good look at him. A number generally
congregate just inside the corridor doors after
they have had their turn and intently watch
the Misunderstanding.

Striking for shorter Hours.

DUoUoIN, ILL.,, Dec. 26.-The drivers en-
plOyed at the st. Johns coal mines here are out
on strike for shorter hours. The men have
been working 11la hours for days work, and
and asked that the hours of labor be
lessensed. In consequence of the strike
the miners are idle, and as the company has
no coal OF any consequence on hand the strike
places them in a tight place. The strikers ac-
ton is not sanctioned by the local assembly of
the knights Of Labor, as there is but one Of the
number among the strikers that belongs to the
order. 1t Is generally supposed that the COM
pany will at once shorten the drivers hours, or
we'll afford to allow the mines to be idle.

Christmas" A boy driver of a delivery
wagon loaded with Christmas packages stands
on the curbstone with address card in his
hand looking wonderingly at the neighboring
houses, uncertain where to leave the Christmas
package which he holds under his arm. A
number of ladies and gentlemen are continu-
ally passing and it occurs to the boy that one Of
them will give him the desired information, as
they can doubtless read better than he can. He
does not know that they are all Treasury clerks
