those congressman. Congressman SIO-
lev, DO Is stated, had
not been so fortunate in an

London, Dec. 26.--In a leader on the
lynching of negroes in the southern
states, the Post this morning says:
1t: is hardly open to question that in
many parts of the slave holding states
of the American Union. the negro
question is rapidly approaching a. crit
zeal stage. In the north the gravity
CT the situation is hardly recognized,
although the whites refuse in practice
to accord the negro that political and
social equality in which he is in the
DRY entitled. In the south no hailucin-
ations exist. In parts of the south
where white families are often COM
pletely isolated, each white man knows
he and his family are in position Of
perpetual peril. That a critical point
has been reached, however, is shown
by the fact that the negroes display
a tendency to stand by men IF their
race and aid them IL need be 1t will
be necessary to face a race war some
day. The result, of. course, would not
be doubtful. The power of organiza-
ton Of the white man is far superior
to that of the negro, and in the case of
exclusive command of the situation.
Such a struggle, however. would be far
from ending the negro question The
loot of the trouble lies principally in
the fact that negroes multiply more
rapidly than whites, who insist on rul-
ing, no matter at what cost. Against
such universal conviction there is no
appeal; nor is it possible to say that
this position is devoid of justification.
Hayti does not furnish favorable evil
dence Of the capacity of the negro to
govern, and the negro press of the
southern states does not afford any
indication that the black population
of that territory possesses either dis
tnct1on or enlightenment. The idea
OF settling the negro question by the
ultimate fusion of the races is unten-
able. In many states of the Union
mixed marriages are Illegal and white
women who are willing to accept black
husbands belong to the class which
has nothing to lose. The progress of
time increases the peril of the situa-
ton and does nothing to bring about
solution of the problem. The gov
eminent Of the United States has be-
fore it the problem of successful treat
ment of a question which concerns not
only the republic, but the whole civil
lied world.
The Chronicle says: The radical
troubles in Georgia appear to be prac-
tlcally on the verge of civil war. How
would general disarmament answer
the purposes of peace, a fine, say of $50
for carrying a revolver and imprison-
ment for the second offense?

Washington, Dec. 25.--flo concern or
alarm is felt at the Hawaiian legation
here over the new rebellion to over
throw the present government and to
res tore the queen. Mr. Hastings, the
charge d,affaires OF the legation, re-
ceived te]egrapf ic reports from hif
goyernmHse via San Francisco af-
ter the Wal Of the Australia about
ten days 4Eo and the Ara;wa q week
later VIII say that every thing is
quiet He says the natives are peace
ful and willing to accept the new SOW
eminent as it is and have never been
inflamed or stirred up since its forma-
ton. He fears no danger from The
band Of men who are now. reported as
having designs against the govern
uent and says there is but one full
ma tfve-born on the list and ASSERTS
that there is no lighting mood among
them. The result of the revolution
would cause needless bloodshed and
defeat.
The report gives little credence to the
rumors 1t is pointed out that the ar
rests of the conspira tors were made six
days before the steamer sailed that
brought the news. A week or two
after the conspiracy had been discover
ed and the leading conspirators had
been arrested is thought to be a poor
time to begin a revolution, because the
au thorities would be on the alert and
ready to nip anything of the kind in
the bud. 1t is further said the leaders
of the republic are resolute men and
they would never give up without a
desperate fight, which the natives would
be very unwilling to meet. The idea Of
British interference is secuted.
Secretary Gresham said tonight he
had not read the story of the conspir-
acy. I'VE have no advices OF such a
conspiracy" he said. "and none that
wou1d tend to show the possibility OF
such thing. 1 should be much sur
prised to hear Of any successful con-
spiracy there
The secretary's manner left the i'm
preston that he put absolutely no
credence in the alleged dispatch

PEACH AMBASSADORS.
No Information Regarding Their APP
pointment By Japan.

washington, Dec. 25.-No inforrna ton
has yet reached the japanese legation
in regard to the appointment OF peace
commissioners to treat with the two
Chinese ambassadors recently appoint
ed. The suggestion is made that the
japanese government is probably aw it
ing the arrival of the Chinese ambas-
sador before making the appointment.
The japanese commissioners need not.
in fact. be appointed until some formal
proposition is made 10y the Chinese en-
yoys. Owing to the fact that COMMUNE
cation from Pekin to Chinese ports is
somewhat delayed on account of frozen
rivers and canals, the arrival OF the
Chinese in Japan may be delayed for
some time. Nothing concerning the re-
port that Chao, one of the Chinese am
baSsadors, will be a persona Erata to

day at Toxic.

Washington, D. c.. Dec. 25.-[Spec-
.alJ Regarding the telegraphed story
in Fridays Tribune. Senator Dubois
said tonight: I'm this matter the Tri-
buna's correspondent gems to have
drawn on his imagination, as there is
absolutely no truth in the statement
that White and Pettigrew were with
the Idaho delegation in the Senate
restaurant when Sweet declared that
he would withdraw from the senator
ial race unless nominated by the state
&onvention. The Tribune correspor-
dent came to US when my secretary
brought down the telegram, but there
or about the telegram. Sweet, Shoup
and I had fully decided on the advis-
ability of sending a, telegram in the
Senate chamber and there Sweet and
had gained Shoup's consent that his
name should be affixed. The subject
was not one that we cared to discuss
again and that is why we said nothing
about it in the Senate restaurant.
am confident that even Senator Shoup
will uphold me in this statement"
Another man has disputed shoup's
word. This time it is Mr.. Kelly,
Sweets room mate, whom Shoup quo
ted in his letter. Kelly said to The
Herald correspondent tonight: II am
sorry Shoup has brought me into this
controversy, because 1 am Sweets
room mate and therefore am supposed
to be in his confidence. Having no res
.peence in Idaho, I am not especially
&concerned in its politics, although
claiming it as q, privilege TO be nicely
acquainted with the Idaho delegation
Sweet never told me he would not
be candidate for the Senate and at
no time did l ever remotely intimate
a. Senator Shoup or any one else that
he had. Sweet was disappointed be-
Ssuse Shoup and his friends did not
support the senatorial resolution at the
convention. He thought Shoup's OPP
position to the resolution ard support
of Mcconnell, acts OF bad faith and
that they made his senatorial fight
harder. 1 always understood Sweet
was q. candidate and that he counted
On Shoup's active support. Shoup re-
peaJedly told me that it was his chief
desire that Sweet should succeed him
Shoup never repeated to me any in
terview regarding the senatorial sit
uation supposed to be had between
himself and Sweet. Regarding Shoup's
charge that Sweet and contemplated
going to New York to practice law, I
am not a lawyer and never anticipated
practicing. 1 might have made some
aoy-play about Jaw practicing in New
York being more profitable than hold
ing congressional seat. But Sweet
always told me that If defeated for
the Senate he would settle down in
Idaho and again practice law. The
statement as made is utterly without
foundation, in fact"

At THE WHITE HOUSE.
Christmas Celebrated in an Old Fash
toned Family Style.

Washington. Dec. 25.-The president
and members Of the cabinet celebrated
Christmas in an old-fashioned way, max
ing 1t essentially a family affair. At the
White House {, Christmas tree was set
On the library, the first the Cleveland
children have called their own. Mrs.
Cleveland herself put the finishing
ToucheS 70 the tree which, while not of
great proportions was beautifully
trimmed and decorated with TINY parti-
oolored electric lamp in place Of the old
time wax candles. Until noon express
wagons and messengers came laden to
rhe White House. AS usual the president
remembered all the employees of the
rouse. Every one got a, fat turkey and
70 his personal servants the president
gave substantial gifts of money. Mrs.
Cleveland also had pretty little presents
for each OF the employees. She herself
received many Christmas presents, the
presidents tokens being very beautiful.
The only guests at the White House was
Mrs. Cleveland's mother, Mrs. PerTine.
and the dinner was strictly limited to
the family. Preceding it, however, there
was a pretty little luncheon set out for
the children of the cabinet. who came to
the White House to see the Christmas
