AT THE WHITE HOUSE,
A Merry Christmas Celebrated by tn,
 Presidents Family.

Presidents Family.
 WAsTINGToN, Dec. 26.-The nursery saved Christmas Day at the White House from being one of quiet and sadness. Tho family gathered at the Christmas dinner were the President and his wife, their daughter, Mrs. Mckee, Dr. Scott, Lieut. and Mrs. Parker, and Mrs. Dim mock. the two nieceS of Mrs. Harrison.
 The real Christmas was, however, up in the nursery, the once beautiful and somewhat noted room of President Arthur, noted for the exquisite taste that made it more like the room of some fair woman. Here in this White House corner Benny and Mary Kckee, the Presidents grandchildren. made merry over Christmas tree, bending with it's load of gifts. It had been many year since a Christmas tree lifted its green branches in the White House. and many day since the racket and shout of baby fun rang through the solemn stately old rooms.
 The tree was not all. There was a row of little stockings hung from the mantel, the same mantel graced for four years by the picture of President Arthur's wife, and then by Frances Fol som before she became mistress there. row of little stockings were there yesterday stuffed to their very tops by the Presidents own hands, and the great grandfather, erect under his 90 years, had put in some of the things too. And so it was that with the beginning of the day, the sunshine of baby happiness shone above the recent sorrow of the White House family. and made it all around a ''Merry Christmas" There was no church going by the President and his wife, and of the Cabinet. those only who are of the Episcopal faith went to church. The Vice Presidents family attended services at St. Marks Church and made a merry Christmas without the tree.

 NEW YORK, Dec. sG.-Fear has been expressed in many quarters that the elght-hour movement may lead to scenes Of violence, such as disturbed sEhicago Tn May, 1SS6. This has served to make some trade unionists timid when the subject is broached. There is an inn pression that radicals or Anarchists may take advantage of any excitement that might be aroused and provoke conflict with the authorities
 Socialistic paper is the authority for the report that troub ble is anticipated in Cleveland, It says, LOO, that mili- tia company has appealed to the busi- ness mon of that city for money enough to purchase repeating rifles. The mem- bers of the company, it is claimed have been informed of the existence of two companies of Cleveland Anarchists who are said to be armed with the most im- proved implements of destruction in the way of rifles.
 There is fear. too, that what now is peaceful agitation may be changed into revolutionary movement. Tlp, Federation has decided to continue tho agitation. It has power to order any special trade out on strike, and author lzed its officers to support that trade financially.
 The Executive Council has not yet decided what trade it shall put for ward to demand the eight-hour work day, yet it has been hinted that the building trades may be selected, for the reason that they are the most thor oughly organized.
