A Tree a. the White House-On1y the
Family at Dinner.

WASHINGTON City. Dec. 25.-The presi-
dent and members OF the cabinet cele-
hrated Christmas in an old-fashioned
way. making it essentially a family ar
fair. At the White house a Christmas
tree was set IN the library, the first the
Cleveland children have called their own.
Mrs. Cleveland herself added the finish
ing touches To the tree. which, while
not of great proportions, was beautifully
trimmed and decorated with tiny raru-
eolorcd electric lamps IN place of the old
time wax candles Until noon express wa
CONS and messengers came laden to the
White house. As usual. the president
remembered ali the employees OF the
houseH Every one got u fat turkey. and
To HIS personal servants the president
made substantial gifts of money. Mrs.
Cleveland also had a pretty little pres
emt fer each Of the employees. She her
self received many Christmas presents,
the presidents tekens being very beauti-
full. The only guest at the White house
was President Cleyeland's mother, Mrs.
Perrine and the dinner was strictly linz
Itei Ia the family. Preceding il, how
ever. there was a pretty little luncheon
set out for the children OF the cabinet
members. who came tn the White house
to see the Christmas tree.

Col. Lewis in Candy.

Piper, the candy man caused a great
deal of mirth by exhibiting in his Second
street store window AN equestrian statue
of James Hamilton Lewis as he is wont
TO appear as he forges UP and down the
streets on his chestnut colored horse.
Lewis was SO well pleased with the candy
imitation of himself at his best that he
has secured IL as a. keepsake, and it will
hereafter grace his bachelor quarters.
The statue is about Il inches high and
is a very correct likeness of both man
and beast. Lewis is wearing a Bismarck
brown SLOUGH hat, tightly-fitting frock
coat and trousers of the same color,
bucksliin gloves. riding boots, and car
ries his riding whip high in the air. The
colonel apparently has just bowed 10
some lady friends on the corner and is
moving off up Second street with a bear
ing ana mein so life-like and real that
one can almost imagine he sees the
muscles of his horse working The I'M

beard, none are left out, but all are
there in perfect imitation. James HaniI-

needs gold and silver money with which

DUTY OF DEMOCRATS.

The stand OF Congressman Pendleton Of
West Virginia on the tariff dill has the
right ring TO it. This is what he says:
"I snail vote for the tariff bill as 1t
passes the Senate regardless OF changes
that may be made. In this assertion as.
sumo that my party will maintain control
OF the bill in he Senate ard will pass
measure in accord with Democratic prin-
ciples and deci lrations.
81 shall vote for the bill regardless Of
the manner in which present controversies
may be settled. II it provides for tree
coal, all right; 1t for duty on coal,
shall support it with the same readiness.
Whether sugar be free or protected Will
make no sort OF difference in my vote. I
regard it as the duty of Democrats 10
support the tariff bill as II comes from
the committee whose duty 1t is 10 con
duct it.
1--WE can not stop to have our personal
wishes OF interests considered. There are
interests which l would be glad to have
cared for, but that Is the case with every
Democrat The fate ot the Democracy
Is involved in this tarff legislation. II j,
the issue upon which we carried the
country, aud we must fulfil our pledges.
"I am aware that TINS has been said be-
fore many times, hut all ! have TO say on
the subject is that regard it az my duty
to vote for the tariff bill without seeking
TO have certain interests coddled or sulk.

BRITISH ENTRAPPED.
Nine Men Were Killed and Much Ammunition
Was Lost

LONDON, Feb. 26.-Further details OF
the disaster to the British force in the en-
counter with the slave dealers on the
West Coast OF Africa show that the
British troops numbered s2o men. They
had destroyed Kembujh and Mandina,
and were returning to Kembujh creek 70
re-embark when they were am bush
near the mouth Of the creek.
There had been no sign Of an enemy
and the attack was unexpected. A fusi-
lads poured upon them from all direo-
tions The sailors tried TO make a stand.
The attempt was useless, as the enemy
maintained their wsll-directed volleys.
Amidst hailstorm Of bullets, and with
comrades falling all about them, they
were compelled to retreat.
So great was their danger and 80 fer
ocious the attack that the British were
unable to rescue the bodies of nine men
who had been killed. II was only with
the greatest difficulty that they were able
to save the wounded. In their retreat
they were forced to abandon their field
piece and 5000 cartridges.
On receipt Of the news at Bathurst the
war vessels Aviso and Alecto were dis
patched to the scene OF the disaster and
attempted TO land party at Coujor. The
enemy were prepared for their arrival,
and opened up heavy fire, which COM
PEELED the party TO retire. The Alecto
thereupon returned to Bathurst for re-
endorsements

BEHIND IN WORK.
Effort 10 Be Made to Clear
the Senate Calendar.
THE HUUSE STILL BLOCKED.
Committee on Rules Likely to Take a
Hand in a Few Days.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 26-The senate has
made but little progress during the past
two weeks in It's efforts TO clean up the
calendar In advance Of the forthcoming
discussion OF the tariff bill In the senate.
II the opportunity Is afforded IL will con-
tinue Its work on the calendar during the
present week
There are 80 many special orders, how
ever, some OF which have been brought
over from previous weeks, that 1t Is prob
able comparatively little progress will be
made this week.
1t In probable that at least two days
will be necessary to dispose Of the bill to
provide new government printing office
building, and another day to the bill for
the Encouragement Of the Florida judicial
districts. The Hawaiian resolution in
troduced by Senator Turpie and the
Stewart bond resolution are also undis-
posed OF. the pending motion on the latter
being TO refer to the committee on finance,
which will probably be done with little,
II any more, speechmaking. The speech
on Hawaiian affairs, of which Senator
Turpie has given notice, Ii as yet unde-
livered, but IL In understood that he will
make an effort TO get the floor during the
present week.
1t Is also probable that the report OF the
committee on foreign relations concern
ing the diplomatic relations between the
United States and Hawaii, under Senator
Morgan's resolution, will cause more or
less debate, and even though the tariff
bill should not get into the senate during
the week, there need be no surprise IL
there should be more or less reference in
the senate to that subject. IL bids fair to
be busy week and one Of varied interest.
The Irrepressible Bland.
The battle over the Bland seigniorage
bill will go merrily on in the house this
week. Despite the many reverses Mr..
Bland has met In his attempts 10 procure
a quorum, he Is IA determined ss ever To
fight 1t out on this line, IL it takes all
winter.
II he does not succeed. however, in the
course OF few days. 1t is not probable
that the speaker and his associates on the
rules committee will permit his bill to
longer block the path Of business. As the
opponents Of the measure have now
adopted an open fllibustering policy, a
rule will be formulated by the committee
on rules to prevent this and bring the vote
down directly to Mr.. BANDS motion.

structure. There was a high wind and
a scarcity OF water, and before help could
be summoned the entire building was
filled with smoke and flame. sixteen
helpless children slept on the lower floors
The little ones slept the sleep OF the limo

smoke crept nearer and nearer TO them.
In the upper floors were about the same

Just at the critical moment help came,
and dozen brave men, headed by Angus

doors and rushed into the burning build

nent risk OF their own lives and carrying
them to place Of safety through the bit
ter cold winds. The women who had slept
In the upper floors also escaped.
1t was thought that all had been saved,
when the white and terror stricken faces
OF Sage and his wife appeared ata win
dow in the third floor and their voices
were heard crying piteously for help.
Just as ladder was being raised, both
disappeared from the window and were
seen no more. The flames swept on, com

PREACHING SOCIALISM.

The Rev. DR.. McLane OF the College
Street Congregational Church, New
Haven, is one OF those dabblers In anna.
teur socialism who fall into the further
error of having peculiar views on patriot
ism. He could hardly have selected Il
worse day for the airing OF his opinions
than Wsshington's birthday. Happily,
and as he might have expected, a goodly
number Of those VINO listened TO his non
sense appreciated the fact, and replied
with vigorous Kisses In his address ne said
that the time would come under a Demo-
cratic form ~ govern ment when the wealth
Of the country would not be in the hands
OF the few, and when every man would
have an honest portion OF the goods he
produces. How this cleric wouit define
the word "honest" II is easy TO see. He
evidently looks forward to happy period
when those who have not will forcibly
arise and DIVIDE up the goods aud cbattels
OF those who have. Then when evo.y
man has an equal portion with every
other, the desired "honest" spportion.
ment VIII ne reached. OF course, a. the
idle and improvident will soon lose
their equality with the Woodworking
and provident, another read!ustment Will
will be necessary in few years,
and so on for ever. DIR. MoLane with all
the assurance OF millinium prophet, said
this would come, not by revolution, but
come 1t wouid-in some manner-because
come II must. There is one answer to all
this rubbish, that 1t wont come, because II
wont, because there is no necessity for its
coming, and because there IS in the com
munity big enough body OF sensible men
who realize that the first duty OF the State
is elf-prcservation. A clergyman who
proclaims anarchy as Goods truth Is
fortunately rare In this country. lie
