WASHINGTON Dec. 26-Christmas was
celebrated in u joyous homelike fashion
at the White House The children, not
only of the president, but of the entire
cabinet circle, held high carnival in the
stood in the center of the big semi-ciroular
room, so tall that it touched tho lofty
ceiling and so thick and broad that 1t al
most filed the large room Until late in
the night many willing hands had worked
under Mrs Cleveland direction in beauti-
flying this Christmas tree, and it was a
tree worthy Of the White House The
children were early awake, and were soon
gloating over the presents that lay piled
up around the foot of the tree and over
the contents of their stockings, which
were generously filed by Santa Claus.

Armed Men WIN Resent Alleged En-
croachments by Sheep Herders.
DENVER, Dec 26-Advices from Routt
county indicate that war between the cat
tlcmen and the sheep men may break out
any day. For the past few days cattlemen,
ranchmen and others interested in main
tanning the range of Routt county for the
benefit of cattle have been congregating
in the northwestern portion of the county
Mt point on lower Snake river. The men
came in twos and threes, and in companies
numbering as many as thirty-hye. Every
man is well armed and thoroughly
mounted. Mess wagons accompanied
many Of the largest outfits, and every
preparation appears to have been made
for II lengthy campaign. There are fully
25O men in two camps on Snake river.
Military rule has been adopted and the
men are divided into companies, each COM
pany having n captain with a commander
in-chief in charge Of the entire force. No
oneis allowed to come or go without be-
ing satisfactorily accounted for. This pre-
caution is due to a report which was re-
ceived to the effect that Gritf and Jack
Edwards, the principal sheep owners, have
secured the services of II large force of men
to meet the stockmen.
The present trouble has boen brewing
for some months and the feeling has been
running high, especially in the Browns
Park country, where the greater portion
of the sheep are now ranging. The Browns
Park men say thoir cattle range is being
utterly devastated by the sheep. The
stocllmen will request the sheepmen to
remove the sheep across the boundary line,
and if they refuse, will assume the task
themselves and maintain u guard to en-
force the boundary.

but Of unity, He urged his hearers to

Regarding the Railway to be Constructed
In the Elowery Kingdom.
LONDON, Dec, ga Times despatch
from st. Petersburg says: 1T is alleged
that the Russo Chinese treaty, which ro-
Gently caused so much comment, is not
been tho two governments but between
the Chinese government and the Russo
Chinese bank, which was founded year
ago by the directors of the Russian Inter-
national bank. The treaty is dated Sept. s.
the Russo Chinese bank forms the rail
way company which an imperial ordin-
ance recently sanctioned under the name
of the Eastern Railway company, with n
capital of 100000 roubles, to construct
and work a railway from the western
frontier of Hei-Lung- Chang to the east
ern frontier of Kirin, in Manchurin to
connect with branches of the Siberian
railway, it being also provided that the
holders Of the shares must be either Rus
slams or Chinese.
THE Russian government will fully
guarantee the capital interest of further
obligations to be issued as required, re-
serving to themselves the right of taking
them up on payment to the company of q
price to be mutually agreed upon. Thus
the Russian minister of finance will be
complete master of the enterprise China
obtains nominal control by appointing
the president, but the real chief will be
the vice president appointed fly Russia.
China may purchase the railway after
thirty-sx years, or take possession with
out payment at the end of eighty years"
