WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.--Christmas day
opened bright and sunny; the tempera-
ture was unusually mild. 1t was an
ideal day to be out doors. The streets
and parks were filed with people. Early
in the morning express wagons began
arriving at the White House to add to
the great stock of presents which had
previously arrived. One huge dry goods
box from New York. labeled For Ruth ;
handle with care" told of its delicate
contents. The bundles and boxes were
taken to the large front room in the Sec
ond story. where white-aproned nurses
superintended the unpacking.
The president and family enjoyed q
genuine home Christmas. The stock
ings of the little ones had been hung up
and were filled to overfowing
this morning. There were presents
great and small; some of them rare and
costly. They came from every part of
the country; not only personal friends,
but people in remote localities were
among the givers. OF course, President
and Mrs. Cleveland came in for full
share OF presents, but the president did
not wish individual gifts mentioned, as
he regarded them as personal and family
affairs.
At 10 o'clock the president went to his
desk for an hour to attend to such mat
ters as required immediate attention. The
house was closed except to specially in
vited friends.
As the Presbyterian churches did not
have Christmas services. none of the
white house family went to church.
President and Mrs. Cleveland took ad-
vantage of the bright weather about
noon and drove about the city. This
afternoon little Margaret Bissell, daugh-
ter of the postmaster general, had a
Christmas tree ath wich Mrs. Cleveland,
with Ruth and Esther, Mrs. Carlisle
and the youthful members of her fam
lily, Mrs. Thurrer and various cabinet
women aad children were present.

Vacancy.
CHICAGO, Oct. 3l.--For nearly ten
hours yesterday Corporation Counsel
Krpus and his assistant attorneys, Pal
mer and Dciner, searched the statutes
of the state for some law, clause or
section that would have some bear
ing on the present emergency. They
were on the point, at late hour
last night, of abandoning the effort
when, by the mercst accident, they
resurrected a section of the old city
charter that provides for just such an
emergency as has now arisen. The
new city charter, adopted in 1872, un-
| der which the city government is now
being run, provides that such sections
or provisions of the old charter as are
not inconsistent or in conflict with the
new city charter shall he considered
operative. The corporation counsel
feels certain that the courts will take
such n view of this case.
This section of the old city charter
provides for the election of a tempo
rary mayor. who shall be vested with
the full powers of the regular mayor.
by the city council. and who shall
serve until new mayor is regularly
lected. 1t provides further that the
city council shall call a special election
for the selection of a mayor within
ten days after n vacancy has oc-

sion being that the names of the candi-
dates must be certified to the board of
commissioners fifteen days prior to
the election.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Pal
mer agrees that the city council must
call special election for mayor not
later than next Monday: that such an
election must be held within reason

and that in the interim the council.
