A Quiet Christmas at the White House

Washington. December 25.-Christmas
day A. d., 1897 was the most quiet and
peaceful on record at the White house.
Owing to the recent bereavement Of the
president, all official functions were
suspended and throughout the day the
front doors OF the executive mansion
rarely swung on their hinges. Presi-
ident and Mrs. Mckinley early in the
day went for short drive about the
city. The weather was perfec., clear
cloudless and crisp. Early in the
morning a messenger arrived with a
great basket of pink roses, orchids and
lilies Of the valley, marked simply For
the President" A little later the pres
ident's carriage pulled UP at the door
and Mrs. Mckinley came down stairs
leaning on the presidents arm. Mrs.
Mckinley seemed we'll as at any
time since her arrival at the White
house while the president was the pic
ture of health. The only guests in the
house were Mrs. Duncan and Miss Bar
Der who remained at home during the
morning. The Christmas dinner was
purely a family affair.
Vice president and Mrs. Hobart spent
the day at their Paterson, n. J., home.
All the members of the cabinet with
the exception of Secretary Bliss, who is
in New York, and Postmaster Gary,
who is in Baltimore, spent the day
with their families here.

Strict Inspect on of Contract Wheat ii
Chicago

Chicago, December 25.-A question as
to the quality of about 5000 bushels of
wheat in the hold OF the steamer Iron
King, belonging to the Seaverns Com
pany and which they rendered to the
Letter Clique as contract grade has de-
veloped the fact that the bull crowd is
insisting on the strictest inspection of
all wheat rendered for December de-
liveries. When this wheat was first
rendered it was refused by Letter, vino
claimed it was not of the contract
quality. In this he was backed up by
the board OF appeals. Later, however,
the board reversed its decision. The
Letter people refused fatty to bow to
the new decision, of the, appeals board,
and now it is said the case will be taken
to the board of trade directory or to the
courts.

OF The Board Of Agriculture at their cau-
cuses (nnd they held two agreed TO
carry out the new law by separating the
FERTILIZER control station from the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical college, and
either pay the latter for the outfit or else
buy q new one. Members say that the
first proposition was made to turn out
all the officers of the station. Ray, a
Republican from Wfltauga, made q
talk and said that This could not be
consistently done, rs there was no poll
ties In The station; that men were put
In for merit. and that alone. Mr. Ray
declared 1T would be the mcanest sort
OF craftsmanship to remove them. But.
as Mr.. Ray said, he was merely wasting
his breath.

1t Is true that Russell said at first Moth
Ing would please him SO much as the

now says lie does not want It. But it
IS asserted by some that this latter dec

The tone of the buying at the opening TINS
morning was good, and everything went TO
show that there had been a restoration or
confidence. London was steady today and all
the active issues were firmly held, while con
sbls were strong at Ill l-s. which Indicated
that the present political situation In Crete
was more settled than 10 had been for some
days. The London selling this week Is esti'
mated as high as 900 shares, and IL Is having
some effect on the loan market. The nrbitrage
houses attach rather more importance to war
rumors than thsy did, although most OF them
believe that tho present difficulties VIII be
adjusted by diplomacy, and they look upon
the market n buy. II the stocks arc pur'
chased continuously ON all reactions.
The private dispatches from Washington
have relieved tho apprehension I'm regard to
the Industrial stocks, we'll informed people
have wired that the purpose of the administra-
tion is not to.oppress capital, but to distinguish
between the combinations OF wealth that do
right and those that do wrong
Joseph today is particularly emphatic in his
apps ovalc OF National Lead. He says that not
only will the preferred have material ad-
vance. but that the common Is good for o.
point gain. In 1885, under less favorable aus
pices, the Lead company paid dividends on
the common. which then sold at 10, and as II
Is believed that the new tariff will give the
company all the protection 1t needs, there Is
no reason to doubt but that it will make and
pay big dividends within n comparatively
short time.
Just before the close, however, the war
scare was started again, and although the
selling was not of good character, there was
considerable hammering done, which had its
effect on the general list
The bank statement for the week is: Re-

Fire Extinguisher Exhibition,

There was an exhibition of Tyler's fire ex.
tingusher near the Gaspee street bridge at
230 o'clock this afternoon that attracted con.
siderable attention. The experiments were
remarkably successful and those who saw
them are OF the opinion that fire would
have poor show in competition. The ex.
tinguishpr is a powder, and il can be thrown
on fire with the greatest of ease. Its avail
ability was clearly demonstrated. The ex.
periments were conducted by Il. ID. Tuttle.
who is the local and state agent. with head
quar- ters at l07 Westminster street The group
of spectators saw two piles of pine wood in
blaze making scorching five OF considerable
proportions, and while they saw the fire blaz.
ing rercely il suddenly went out. Mr.. Tuttle
had simply sprinklcd the powder from n box
ON the blaze and the fire was out. The adj.
vantage of this extinguishor was apparent. IL
can We used by any one without the slightest
danger, and il can be kept in any place to
meet emergencies. II can be put on fires
