CT, think it was the bough of the tree tapping against the window-pane, said the little girl. DO please go on with our story" Again the little wanderer tapped upon the door My child, my child" exclaimed the moth CT. rising. that certainly was a rap on the door. Run quickly and open it. No one must be left out in the cold on our beautiful Christmas Eve"
 The child ran to the door and threw it wide open. The mother saw the ragged stranger standing without, cold and shivering, with bare head and al- most bare feet She held out both hands and drew him into the warm, bright room. "Oh, you poor, dear child, come in as quickly as you can and get warm! Where did you come from and where are you going? Have you no homeP Have you no mamma? Have you no Christmas to celebrate?" "' .a
 The mother put her arms around the strange child, and drew him close to her breast. "He is very cold, my children" said she. We must warm him and feed him, and give him some clothes" And" added the little girl. i've must love him and give some of our Christi mas, too" "Yes," said the mother, but first let us warm him"

you here" He looked sorry as he spoke; possibly he remembered his own
 little ones at home and was glad that
 they were not out in this cold and bit
 ter night, Through the open door a bright light shone, and the warm air,
 filled with the fragrance of the Christ mas pine, rushed out through the door and seemed to greet the little wanderer with kiss As the child turned back into the cold and uarllness, he won dered why the footman had spoken so,
 for surely, thought he, those little chil- dren would love to have another com panion join them in their joyous Christmas festival. But the little chill dren inside did not even know that he had knocked at the door. .,..s .,r
 The street seemed colder and darker to the child than before, and he went sadly forward, say ing to himself: "Is there no one in all this great city who will share this Christmas with mey' Farther and farther down the street he went, to where the homes were not so large and beautiful. There seemed to be little children inside of nearly all the houses. They were dancing and frolick- ing about There were Christmas trees in nearly every window, with beautiful dolls and trumpets and picture books,

A FORTUNE FOR TWO.
Valuable Property Given to Two Leaven- worth Men by the Interior Depart

Valuable Property Given to Two Leaven-
 worth Men by the Interior Depart
 ment
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 13 By decision of the interior department the island of 1,400 acres formed in the Missouri river opposite LeaveLworth becomes the property of Stillings x Diefendorf, citizens of Leavenworth, who hold the original government patent. The land is considered very valuable property, as the best coal beds operated by the Leavenworth penitentiary extend un- der it. In 1865 when the government made its first survey there were only 400 acres in the island and in 1890 Stillings & Diefendorf took out a government patent. Since that time 900 acres have been added to the island by accretion and squatters took possession of the new land At the time the original patent was granted the island lay on the Missouri side, but is now on the Kansas side. The origi- nal holders of title made application for new government survey and had Representative Frederick. of Kansas, present their case to the department. By yesterdays decision twill be neces- sary for Stillings and Diffendorf to in- stitute legal proceedings for the eject. ment of the trespassers

TRADE WITH CHINA.
Possibly a New Treaty for the Extension of
 Our Trade with the Celestial Empire.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13 It is probable that before long the state department will enter upon negotiation looking to the strengthening out of our rela- tions with China. The enactment of the Geary law will be looked upon as an infraction of our present treaty with China. and so, in effect. putting an end to it. That treaty grants to the United States privileges which are highly valued and which, it will be sought to perpetuate to us. But it will have to be done by new treaty.
 There is good authority for saying Secretary Gresham aspires to make the extension of trade relations and privi- leges with China central feature of his administration of the state depart ment. It would supersede the Pan American policy of his predecessor in the department and would be contrast ed with it.
 It is known Secretary Gresham has little faith in the future of our trade relations with the Spanish-American repub plies as an adequate field for the extension of our commerce. He is said to regard that field as not we'll worth the expense and labor of cultivating it.
 China is believed to be contemplating large extension of the privil ges of her market to foreigners and to be anxious to avail herself of the advan- tages of western ingenuity and the products of our civilization. At the same time she fears aggressions from European nations and is not willing to risk their policy of self-aggrandizement by entering in- to closer relations. Her states men are believed, however, to regard closer trade relation with the United States with favorable feelings both on account of the greater propinquity of the two countries and the less aggres- sive character of our foreign policy It is said by those in position to know that definite results may come of the negotiations within comparatively short time

A POSTAL REFORM.
Substance of a Bill Introduced by Con-
 gresIman DOckery.


 WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Congfessman Cookery, chairman of the joint comis- sion to investigate departmental work ings, has introduced bill for reference to the commission which is the result of the investigations which have been made by the commission. Tie bill is approved by the Spostmaster-general, and should it be favorably considered by the joint commission will doubtless become law at very early date.
 The bill abolishes the postal note and in lieu thereof authorizes the post master-general to designate certain post offices to issue money orders for a sum less than 8. The bill also changes the present schedule vf fees for the is- sue of money orders very materially, reducing them to the rates now charged by the express companies. Under the present schedule the express companies have been doing a profitable business, which arises from the sale of larger or ders, and have been generously permit ting the government to do the busi- ness of issuing small notes which is done at loss The new schedule is a harmonious and consistent one and will result in a large increase of profitab ble business to the government
 The bill also provides for a speedy accounting of all outstanding unpaid money orders and postal notes more than 12 months old. The result of this provision will be to turn into the treas ury for the use of the post office de- partment about 8, 900, 900 of money ly- ing idle and inactive in the subtreasury in New York. The bill also repeals that action of the statute which re- quires applicants for money orders to fill out printed blank, and in several of it's sections provides for a reorgan- ization of the business methods of the post office department so as to secure a speedy adjustment of the accounts of all postmasters, both presidential and fourth-class.
 This bill, in connection with other recommendations which will probably be made very soon by the commission, will result in a very large annual re- duction of expenditures in the post of flee department while at the same time increasing its efficiency.

FEDERATION OF LABOR.
Outline of the Platform Adopted-Mor-
 gan's Programme.


 gan's Programme.
 CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-In the Federation of Labor convention Chairman Morgan, of the committee on resolutions, sub mitted a programme for the national ization of railroads, mines, telegraphs, etc, as proposed by English economists as basis for the political labor move ment. A motion to have the matter presented to the organizations of the federation for the purpose of having their delegates instructed to vote upon it at the next convention of the federa- tion received the support of number of delegates and the disapproval of others.
 The platform has twelve blanks in it, as follows: Compulsory education; direct legislation; a legal eight hour work day: sanitary inspection of work shops, mine and home; liability of em- ployers for physical disability; aboli- tion of contract labor in all public works: abolition of the sweating system; municipal ownership of street cars, electric light and gas plants; national possession of telegraph, telephone, railroads and mines; collective owner ship by the people of all means of pro- duction and distribution; the principle of referendum in all legislation.

So she sat down beside the fire with the child on her lap, and her own two little ones warmed his half,frozen hands in their own, and the mother smoethed his tangled curls, and bend ing low over his head kissed the.childs face. She gathered the three little ones together in her arms and the can dle and the irelight shone over them. and for few moments the room was very still. Then the mother whispered to the little girl, and the child ran quickly into the next room and soon re- turned with a roll of bread and a bowl of milk which had been set aside for her own breakfast the next morning.
 The little two-year-old, who had slipped away from his mothers side, was happy that he, too, could help the little stranger by bringing the wooden spoon from the table. By and by the little girl said softly to her mother: May we not light the Christmas tree, and let this little child see how beauti- full it will look?" Yes" said the mother. With that she seated the child on a low stool beside the fire and went herself to fetch the few simple ornaments which from year to year she had saved for her children's Christmas tree. They were soon busy preparing the tree and lighting the candles. So busy were they that they did not notice that the room had filled with a strange and beautiful light. They turned and looked at the spot where the little wan derer sat His ragged clothes had changed to garments white aud beauti- full. His tangled curls seemed like halo of golden light about his head, but most beautiful of all was his face, which shone with light so dazzling that they could scarcely look upon it.
 In silent wonder they gazed at the child Their little room seemed to grow larger, the roof of their low house seemed to expand and rise, until it reached the sky. With a sweet and gentle smile the beautiful child looked upon them for moment and then slowly rose and floated through the air, above the tree-tops, beyond the church-spire, higher even than the clouds themselves, until he appeared to them to bo shining star in the sky above, and at last disappeared from sight. The wondering children turned in hushed awe to their mother and then said in a whisper: 'Oh, mother, it was the Christ Child, was it not?" And the mother said in low tone: "Yes." ,s...a ..t ..r.-, lam,
 And so, they say, each Christmas Eve the little Christ Child wanders through some town or village, and those who receive Him and take Him into their homes and hearts have given to them this marvellous vision which is denied to others Adapted from the German by Elizabeth Harmon for Chicago Stan- dard. .rr.. l..t. ,. ..,-.,

The Hawaiian Provisional Government
 Ready to Fight the Whole world-It Can
 Raise an Army of Two Thousand Men.
 HONOLULU, Dec. 4.-Since the arrival of the steamer Warrimoo on the 24th political events have followed each other with startling rapidity. Dis patches forwarded to the Associated press by sailing vessels on November 19 and 22 have not fully anticipated the serious condition Hawaii is now passing through in the most deter mined and heroic way. When the War rimoo arrived with Cleveland's ulti- matum the royalists were jubilant, and the annexationists at once began to carry out the previous plan for forcible resistance in case the steamer China, which arrived three days later, brought instructions to Minister Willis for the restoration of the monarchy with the aid of the United States troops from the Adams and Philadelphia.
 Within twenty-four hours after the news brought by the Warrimoo was re- ceived, 1,600 determined annexation ists had assembled on short notice at the drill shed of the barracks behind the Executive building. The meeting was short but wildly enthusiastic. "The spirit of 1776" prevailed, and some who heard the ringing cheers which welcomed the speech of Presi. dent NJ. NJ. Hatch, of the Annexa- tion club and presentation of the resolutions, thought the monarchy, even though restored by superior force of the United States, might be short lived. Since this mass meeting the spirit of enthusiasm which at first prevailed among the royalists has been in state of fiuctuation, and some Of the clearest headed admit the success of the restoration: iE the present or future depends On the armed protec- tioE of the monarchy by the United States.
 After the undecided character of the news received by the steamer China the opinion prevailed until the arrival of the Australia that instructions would be received by the latter vessel for immediate restoration. Pending the Australia's coming, several impOr- tant cabinet and council meetings were held, and it was determined to meet the proposed restoration of the monarchy by the combined forces of the government the American league, the Annexation club and citizens re- serve guard, whose joint strength is about 2,O00 men on this island and with in Honolulu,

UGLY GROWS.
Their DcpredatIons Exhaust the Patience
 of Montana Lattlemen.

of Montana Gentlemen.
 BILLINGS, Mont, Dec 15.-The Crows are out again. Nearly all the young men of the tribe belonging to the Pryor mountain branch, the ones who made the trouble last spring on the newly ceded strip, are massed on the head of Saltwater creek off their res- ervation, and are killing cattle wanton- ly. Wyman has refused to make an effort to drive them in, and refers the sheriff to the governor for aid.
 Sheriff Ramsey has telegraphed Gov. Richards the status of affairs, but has reason to believe the settlers will take the matter into their own hands, if they have not already done SO The locality where the Crows are doing their chief work of destruction is nbout forty miles from the railroad, ani the settlement is sparsely settled, but the stockmen have detachment in the field and have declared their intention to take the law into their own hands and protect their stock, even if they are obliged to kill off half the Crow tribe
 The mood of the stockmen and set tiers is a dangerous one. Low markets aud losses from Indian slaughter have so irritated them that they will stand no more. Besides, the two white men that were killed last spring by Crows, in most suspicious manner, had friends and neighbors, particularly in that region, who will not let this chance to avenge them pass lightly.
