THE WHITE HOUSE CHRISTMAS
How the President and His Family
Spent the Holiday.

K1O" the IFCSfNcnt and His Family
Spent the Holiday.
The custom of distributing turkeys
among the clerical force of the White
House, which was inaugurated by the
Mckinleys, has been followed by the
Roosevelts. Eighty fine, fat birds
were this year required to go around,
each one bearing card on which is in
scribed the words, GA Merry Christmas
from the President" Though, as a rule,
they do not have tree, the Roosevelts
inherit from their Dutch ancestors a
generation for the spirit and sentiment
of Christmas and the day is given up
entirely to festivities. The four younger
children hang up their stockings, as a
matter of course. On the morning of
Christmas day, after breakfast, Mr..
Roosevelt leads the way to the library,
which he calls the study" where the
gifts are laid out on tables. He and
his wife distribute them and a general
romp usually follows. In the afternoon
the children go to two or three tree par
ties, one Of which Is at the house of
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, the Presi-
dents lifelong chum, while another is at
the residence of Mr.. Roosevelt's elder
sister, Mrs. Cowles.
Every Christmas thousands of gifts
from total strangers reach the White
House. They are not wanted and people
would do much better not to send them.
When of considerable value they are re-
turned to the donors, otherwise they
are accepted politely, with a note Of
acknowledgment. Not one out Of a hun
dred of them is seen by the President
and in former administrations they were
commonly consigned to the attic, where
at the time of the recent reconstruction
of the mansion, an immense quantity Of
old junk thus accumulated was found.

PANIC RULES RUSSIA,
GENERAL STRIKE LAUNCHED
AND WORST is EXPECTED.
Traffic Is Paralyzed and Armed Re-
volt Spreads-Burning Palaces
Light Shores of Baltic for Forty
MiIes-Mutineers Burned.

The gloom which has settled over
Russia is the deepest the country has
ever known, and the outlook the most
desperate. The palaces of the nobility
are blazing from st. Petersburg to
Odessa, and the mutilated bodies of
the partisans Of the Emperor fill the
bitches of country roads and the gut
tiers of the streets Of the rebelliOuS
cities. Mobiles who have been able to
escape the vengeance of the peasants
in the country and the proletariat in
the town are fleeing to the frontiers,
leaving memorial halls and wide es-
tates as loot for the now fully aroused
people.
The memory Of centuries OF oppres-
sion seems to stir the masses to mas
sacres of the most revolving cruelty.
Believing that each blow struck the
nobility reaches the despotic govern
ment, the peasants are striking deep
and sure. On all the snowy reaches
around Riga mobiles have been slain
by scores, their bodies thrown to the
vultures. and their ancient castles
made scenes of orgies of drunken
peasants. The lands Of the richest es-
tates are divided among the men who
drive away or kill the former owner.
Sailors on the Baltic Sea declare
that the coast Of Livonia for forty
miles north of Riga is lit with the
flames of burning estates. In Riga
hotels down to the meanest lodging
houses are crowded with persons who
bear the highest names in Russia,
who have been glad to escape from
the Infatuated mobs with their lives,
leaving all their property in the hands
Of the revolutionists.
From all other portions Of the I'M
happy empire come reports as awful.
Wherever the flag Of revolution is
reared even the soldiers sworn to
serve the Gar flock around it. In
Vladivostok the most terrible cruelties
are being perpetrated alternately by
| the loyalists and the mutineerS, which
| ever has the upper hand at the time
Three times has the city of Takum,

CHRISTMAS MAIL.
Records Broken This Year by an
Avalanche of Gifts.


An avalanche of parceled happiness
tumbling down upon Uncle Sans mail
distributors during the week preceding
Christmas nearly buried the service past
all recovery. In New York City several
clerks were made seriously i'll by over
work during long hours, and no doubt
like conditions prevailed elsewhere.
In the field of foreign mail alone the
pressure has been so great as to break
all former records. The Etruria brought
into New York the heaviest Christmas
mail ever landed at that port. She had
1850 bags and "A packages of parcels
post. The mail steamer was obliged to
make two trips down the bay to remove
sacks of Christmas mails.
The American liner Philadelphia car
ried out 1926 bags of Christmas mail.
1t was the largest dispatch of mail in
the history of the port. In fourteen
| days outgoing steamers have carried
away $4,142 500. The Philadelphia took
the great bulk of Christmas money sent
by emigrants to the cold folk" 1t had
6O,331 international money orders,
amounting to S7S5, 400.
Great Britain got 5000, 1903, the great
er part being billed to Ireland. More
than sol 900 went to Italy, and nearly
$4,000 to Germany. Sweden got near
ly as much, while 100000 went to Rus
STA. Hungary and Austria got $4,000,
$4,000 going to Austria Denmark got
$4,000, Greece $3.50, Belgium $2,3S1,
the Netherlands 81 ,G65, Switzerland &c.
| 900 and Iunenhurr SS13
/ All this is but a brief mention of a
little bit that has been going on in one
| locality. All around us similar work
has been carried forward in varying de-
grees. 1t is safe to predict that if one
could see the grand total the figures
would produce the greatest amazement.

was to make a test of its ability by
moving a train for Berlin. The depot

The authorities, however, were pre-

a locomotive manned by soldiers Of a

train, which was crowded with peo-
pie seeking to depart from the unhap-

an official with four soldiers entered
the carriages and thoroughly searched
them in order to ascertain If suspl-.
cious persons were on board.

Cities where
with Loyal Troops Resulted in Bloodshed

In the manufacturing districts be-
yond the Warsaw and Narva gates, in
the Schlusselburg district, and in the
sections on both sides of the Neva the
workmen generally obeyed the sum-
mons to strike and thousands of them
emerged to the streets.
Blow UP "a Train.
Twenty-four railway cars were de-
molished and all the soldiers in them
were killed or badly injured when
rebels blew up train with troops sent
to quell the rebellion in Livonia, near
Stockmannskof, a railway station. The
rebels also wrecked with dynamite
one or two trains sent to give assist
ance. General Andronikoff and many
soldiers were killed.
A rumor is in circulation that the
insurgents in CORTLAND have seized
Windau, Friedrichstadt, Pratzenburg,

After three days Of riot and slaugh-
ter in the streets of Moscow tine
spirit of revolution is blazing out in
other parts Of Russia. At ODESSA
Kieff and elsewhere the strike is on,
and a call for an armed rebellion has
gone out.
In Moscow the fighting continued
without Information. The strikers
were driven from their intrenchments
by the Cossacks and dragons, only to
fall back on new barbados, scattering
into new thoroughfares and extending
the zone of battle. Five thousand
persons were killed and $4,000 wound
ed in fights in Moscow between revolu-
tionists and Cossacks. Leaders of the
Russian revolutionists assert armed
forces are being assembled to fight
the soldiers and that civil war between
organized bodies Of troops will begin
soon.
Frightful execution was done with
the machine guns. They were trained
on the crowds, and innocent women
and. children who were fleeing for their
lives fell beneath the hail of bullets.
Thousands are reported killed or
wounded In one instance the machine
pieces stationed at the Monastery Of
Passion were trained on persons who
were seeking escape from the pursuing
Cossacks. Hundreds are reported to
have fallen, and the hospitals are filled
with the dying and injured.
The strikers in Moscow appear to
have become disorganized, and their
attacks were often turned into unruly
routs. Thousands were driven outside
the walls and the fighting caused ter
ror in the suburbs. Once a mob Of
revolutionaries swirling around
street corner surrounded small squad
of Cossacks. The soldiers used their
knouts and knives, but were dragged
from their horses and trampled under
foot. Twenty Cossacks were killed.
The revolutionary leaders are still
untamed although on the whole the
skirmishes went against them. The
constitutionalists assert that the strik-
ers have lost the day, while the gov
eminent officials point to the fact that
although the strikers have sought to
capture the railroads, trains are still
running between st. Petersburg, Mos
COW and Eydtkuhnen, and the tram
ways and electric lights are still in
operation.
In Moscow the military seems to
have triumphed, but out in the PROV
inces the danger is said to be grave
and outbreaks are looked for at Odessa
and other points that will be even
more sanguinary than the bloody street
conflicts in Moscow.

HOOTING BRITISH ROYALTY.
Case Which Has Not Had n Parallel
in Over zoe Years.

Case Which Has Not Had n Parallel
in Over 100 Years.
The recent hooting of a member of
the British royal family by crowd Of
unemployed in London prompts writer
to remark that it is necessary to 60
back more than 100 years to find pre-
cedent for it. The last instance Of a
member of the royal family being boot
ed by a London mob in the streets was
when old Queen Charlotte was not only
Kissed and insulted, but even pelted with
offal while on her way from st. James
Palace to what was then known as
Buckingham House (now Buckingham
Palace. The mob even went so far as
to stop her sedan chair, and there is no
knowing what might have happened had
not the homeliest of all of England's
long line of queens let down the glass
of the chair and apostrophised the mob
with the following words:
81 am 70 years of age; 1 have been
so years Queen of England, and 1 never
was insulted before"
Her anger, her absolute fearlessness.
and at the same time her wonderful
dignity, turned the temper of all those
of the mob within earshot The Kisses
were converted into cheers, and it was
amidst the plaudits of the crowd that
the sedan chair continued it's way un-
INSTRUCTED to Buckingham House.
