CHRISTMAS AT WASHINGTON.
The President and His Wife and Babies
Kindly Remembered "A Beautiful
Christmas pay.

The President and His Vile ana baDies
Kindly Remembered A Beautiful
Christmas pay.
WASHINGTON, d. c., December 25.-
Christmas day at the National Capital
opened bright and sunny. The temper
ature was unusually mild. 1t was an
ideal day to be out of doors, and the
streets and parks were filled with peo-
pie.
Early in the morning the express
wagons began arriving at the White
House 10 add TO the great stock OF
presents which had previously arrived.
One huge dry goods box from New York
was labelled for Miss Ruth Cleveland,
and the "handle with care" on it told
of its delicate contents. The bundles
and boxes were taken to the large frOht
room on the second story, where a
white-aproned nurse superntended the
unpacking.
The President and his family enjoyed
a genuine home Christmas. The stock
ings for the little ones had been hung
up and these were flied to overlooking
this morning. There were presents
great and small, and 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, the
President and Mrs. Cleveland came in
for a full share OF presents, but the
President did not want the individual
gifts mentioned, as he regarded them
as personal and family affairs.
At 20 o'clock the President went to
his desk for an hour TO attend TO such
matters as required immediate atten-
tion. The house was closed except 10
specially invited guests.
John p. Hopkins, the new mayor OF
Chicago, was one Of the few admitted
TO the President to extend Christmas
greetings and talk business, presuma-
bly, in connection with the unified Chi
cago federal offices. Assistant Secre-
tary of State Uh also had short con-
ference with the President.
As the Presbyterian churches did not
have Christmas services, none OF the
White House family went to church.
The President and Mrs. Cleveland took
advantage of the bright weather about
noon and drove about the city in the
White House landau. This afternoon
little Margaret Bissell, daughter of the
Postmaster General, had Christmas
tree at which Mrs Cleveland, with
Ruth and Esther, Mrs. Carlisle and
youthful members of her family, Mrs.
Thurber and the various Cabinet
women aud children were present.
All of the attaches of the executive
mansion were remembered by the Pres
ident, most of them receiving turkeys
and those OF longest service getting ar
ticles of more permanent use.
Secretary and Mrs. Gresham had their
Christmas dinner at the Arlington.
Secretary and Mrs. Lamont had
Christmas tree for their little ones.
Secretary Morton and daughter enter
tanned a number Of family guests who
came from d distance.

Further Details OF Saturday Nights Train
Robberies-But Little Secured in klther
Case
LITTLE Rock, ARK, December 25.-
The first entirely accurate details OF
the Kansas and Arkansas Valley hold
up al Seminole, 1. T., Saturday eve
ming, reached Little Rock at
s:5O this afternoon when
the robbed train arrived.
Seminole, the scene of the robbery, is
flag station, Aine miles south Of Coffey-
Vile, Kansas. There is no town there
and nothing 70 mark the spot save
side track and small platform. Train
No. .232 reached Seminole Sunday night
shortly after dark. The switch had been
turned, running the train on the side.
The switch is on a heavy grade aad the
train Immediately came 10 s,andstill.
There were 10 cars on the sidatrack as
has been stated. When the train
stopped two men mounted the
engine and began by robbing
Engineer Bush Harris, OF
his watch and $40 in cash. They then
proceeded TO the mail car and rifled the
mail pouches. Mail Clerk II. B. Pinck-
ney, who was ia charge, was forced to
deliver the registered packages.
After abstracting the cash the
letters were handed back TO the clerk.
Pipckney was relieved Of his watch
and s5 cents in change, % cents OF
which was returned 20 him to buy a
lunch. An entrance TO the express car
was gained without resistance on the
part OF the express messenger
as there was nothing or
great value on board. The robbers
commanded messenger Ford TO open up
the safe from which they took two
small packages, value unknown, and
500 in money. Finishing their work
in the express car the robbers turned
their attention 70 the coaches.
Two men went through the cars
while the other two maintained con-
slant firing on the outside. So much
time had been consumed In the mail
and express ears and the passengers
had ample opportunity TO secrete their
valuables. Very little Of value
was obtained in the coaches.
The robbers appropriated all
the overcoats aud watches in the cars,
but the sum total OF the cash they Sc
cured will approximate less than $500.
Several passengers syed large sums
by hiding their purses under the car
seats. The robbers did not
use abusive language to the passengers
and offered no violence. IL Is stated
positively that the railroad officials here
have the names Of the robbers and it is
believed their capture is only question
of a few dayS.

rumor to the effect that the suit OF
Miss Madeline v Pollard, against Rep
resentative Breckenridge, for $50, 600

In view Of the letters from Il. W..
Lang, Governor Mitchelrs private sec
rctary, to S. R. Tyson, Of this city, en-
phatically stating that the Governor
would use all means in his power TO
prevent the Corbett Mitchell contest,
the Associated Press correspondent to-
day interviewed J. E.T. Bowden, general
manager Of the Duval Athletic Club
regarding the Governors position and
the prospect for the contest. Mr..
Bowden is absolutely confident Of the
ability Of the club 20 bring the contest
20 a successful issue. He said;
az am more firmly convinced that the
match will take place than I have been
at any period since the contest was
talked Of. In this sentiment my assO-
ciates unite, and so strongly do we feel
that the match will take place, that we
are rushing the arena 20 rapid compile
tion and making the necessary aud
rUITABLE ARRANGEMENTS"
sBut Mr.. Bowden, recent kilograms
from this city have been published OF a
character likely 90 impair the attend
ance aud have caused some anxiety
among those who have heretofore felt
assured that the contest would take
place. What have you 70 say in regard
10 those teleQramS?'
''Just this: The entire talk and un-
easiness was OCCasiOned by the puo.lca-
tion OF letter written by III. w. Lang,
Governor Mitchel's private secretary,
on November 81. It's publication so
long after it was written induced peo-
pie 70 think that some new ut
terahce had been made by the Gov
ernOr or on his authority, when In
fact such was not the case. We do not
gov and have never said or thought
Governor Mitchell would not do every
thing that he conceived 10 was his duty
10 do under the law 20 stop the mateh.
We, at the same are assured by our
knowledge OF Governor MitchelPs
SINCERITY OF CHARACTER
that he will not interfere If il should
be demonstrated 10 an authOritive way
that the coutemDlatiye match is not
violativs of the law. We expect at a
very early date-nOt later than the
present week-tO get an adjudication
of the question. II our position is
sustained, we will continue our course.

City Council has passed an ordinance
legalizing contests OF the character of
the one contemplated, and the public

station this side of Burbank,
the engineer was shot at from a

stopped it. A lively fusilade followed
10 intimidate any Que who might desire
to interfere with the plans Of the rob
bars. The engineer and fireman were
made prisoners and the engineer COM
PEELED 20 light the fuse OF bomb placed
against the door Of the express car.
The express car door burst open and
the express messenger, Potts, was
thrown IRON the cot where he was
asleep. just what happened after that
is a mystery, for express messenger
Potts has been cautioned not to
speak about IL by the officers
OF the express company. After the
robbers left the express car they made
the engineer, fireman and express
messenger walk up the track aQuarter
of a mile, ired off a fusilade and then
let them walk TO the train. As soon as
the fact Of the robbery was learned
the Sheriff OF San BernardinO
county with posse and a
couple Of bloodhounds started on the
trail of the robbers. Detectives have
