WASHINGTON , Duo , 2l.-SpoclM.-H ( )
will be a typical Christmas at the white
IIOUBC. Until , leather and Marlon will have
thctr llltlu stockings banning from the big
oak mantelpiece In the nursery ami as fast
us Mrs. Cleveland assorts the present * ) In
their llttlo plies Mr. Cleveland will nil each
stocking to overflowing All that cannot ho
got In the Blockings of the llttlo tots will ho
liung on a Christmas trco In the rcil room.
Jlrs. Cleveland tried to persuade the presi
dent that It was not ncccHflary to hnvo the
( dockings If there was to ho a Christmas
trco. Hilt that was not his Idea of the llilng
nt nil. Hist earliest recollection of Chrlst-
nnfl was connected with hanging utockliiRs
and ho wanted his children to enjoy ihls old-
fnehtonr-d ctisiom. Moreover , ho fills the
nlocMtiRS himself. Ho will not let any ono
clso < ! o It ,
"
Kstollc lluth's French maid , nnd "Mnm-
nilo" Lucy , Iho old colored nurse , who still
wears htr head handkerchief , will bo per
mitted to Ho Iho presents on the trco under
Mrs. Cleveland's direction ; but the right to
drop bonbons way down In the toes nnd
to nil the heels of the stockings with dried
figs nnd stuff the little legs fullxof toys be
longs solely to the president. H Is ns much
n special privilege for him to do this ns It
Is lo recognize a belligerency , and ho Is ns
porslslont In ono ns ho will be In the other.
Last year ho hung up a llttlo bnbv's socli
for Marlon , but this year ( hero will be a
llttlo stocking. President and Mrs. Cleve
land nro simple In their way of cclebrnl'lna
Christmas. Uach recurrlnc Chrlslmastldo
has been enjoyed In the same way trom their
first Christmas together , when thcro were
no lltllo children to challenge their atten
tion , until now when there nro three llttlo
girls' stockings to ho liung up and three
Illllo < lnughtors to show thflr happiness.
AS TO ACCKITING PRESKNTS.
Mrs. Cleveland hns never permitted either
Ruth or Ksther to accept presents save from
the llttlo children of the vnrlous cabinet
households. Many gifts to the litllc ones
have bten returned , nnd when Ihey have
been sent anonymously Ihey have boon laid
nsldo until the children shall grow older.
This rule Is adopted In order that the presi
dent's children might not be eurft'lted with
childish enjoyments. Mrs. Cleveland wants
them to hnvo no more than the children In
families. I-rom
the grent mass of American
the llrsl U hns been her aim to keep them
In touch with the slmplo Joys ot child-
To further carry out his Idea ot an Ameri
can Christmas the rooms of the whllo house
are always cloned on this day nnd only n
few ot the most Intlmalo friends are ad-
milled , and then not until evening , when
the little ones , tired of romping , are sleep
ing under the watchful cyo of the old black
nurse. "Mnmmle" Lucy , by the way , Is Iho
only tyrant of the white house. She Is the
only member of the household who ever dif
fers with the president as to what constl-
tutcs the law nnd his wishes have no weight
In that big nursery unless they agree with
those ot old Lucy.
The Cleveland Christmas practically be
gins on Christmas eve. Mrs. Cleveland al
ways atlcnds service nt St. John's church
on Christmas eve. With few exceptions , up
to the lime of Lincoln , all Iho prcsldcnta
attended the Episcopal service In this quaint
old fltrucluro. It Is sltualed directly across
Lafayette park trom the white house. It
Is the only church which always kept n pew
reserved for the president and his family
frco of charge.
ALWAYS KRPT HEADY.
In nplto of the fact that Arthur Is the only
president elnco the war who has occupied
It regularly. It Is still kept Ihero , no ono
being allowed In It unless ho bo nn In-
linbltnnt ot Iho whllo house. Once a year
Mrs. Cleveland occupies It , nnd always on
Christmas eve. As soon as the do profundus
Is sung Mrs. Cleveland returns to the white
house , where oho finds her husband Im-
patlont to get nt the Christmas toys.
The children nre allowed lo find Ihelr
Blockings nnd hunt for the goodies in them
liy themselves. In the midst of their de
light "Mnmmlo" Lucy summons the presi
dent , who nppenrs In pnjamas nnd dressing
gown In the doorway of Iho nursery. The
Christmas morning breakfast la most simple
nnd most wholesome , for Mrs. Cleveland Is
a stickler for slmpllclly In so far ns her
children nre concerned. A procession Is
Vmned. headed by Iho president and Mrs.
Olovelnnd , nnd the entlro household marches
lo thu red room. Then thcro Is ncnmpcrlng
nnd laughter as each tricycle , hobby horse
and train ot cars comes Into view. For the
rc t of the- day 'ho east room , the red room
and Ihe slnlo dining room nre all given over
to the children and Ihelr playmalcs , who
may drop In. but the whlto house U barri
caded to" grown up men nnd women.
' In the evening there Is an old-fashioned
dinner , n turkey and a rest pig. with a red
apple In Its mouth , being conspicuous dlahca
on the table. Cleveland hns a fondness for
roast pig , a taste , ho says , which was sud
denly developed In him by reading Charles
Lamb's ei&say on the subject. They attend
their own church Christmas morning and
the afternoon Is given over to sending pres
ents to friends In the city.
MHS. CLFVELANIVS GENEROSITY.
Mrs , Cleveland receives a few presents
herself , but she gives a great many more.
She Is especially generous In her gifts to
the poor. She has absolutely made It fK8h-
Innnhlo lojie generous at Christmas time.
Through her Individual efforts the society
women have formed n Christmas club and
wherever poor nnd motherless children can
bo found their llttlo llvw are brightened fern
n brief period at least by the first lady In
the land.
This day of all daj-s , Mrs , Cleveland gives
over to her children , her own and othciu na
well , but this period , of simplicity soon goes
nnd gives place to pagcanlry nnd diplomatic
functions , for with the beginning of the now
year Iho president and hia wlfo once more
nmuiiui the lending roles In the social world
of Washington , and stnndlng In the great
blue- room , Just where they were married ,
they will shortly after January 1 receive the
nmbaraadorH and diplomatic olllccrs from
every country in the world for the last time ,
for March brings n change of admlnUlra-
tlon and another , although Just ns slmplo In

ngnlnst Interference by the United Stales
lu Cubfi pending1 the present BCHHOII for mil *
Itnry oprrnllon Is mails by General William
F. Draper ot Ma .ichuactts , who U ono ot
the subcommittee of the house charged with
the recommending of resolutions relating to
Cuba. Ho said tonight :
"My standpoint with regard to Cuba has
not changed xlnco the last f-esslon of con
gress , It Is my feeling that It Is tlmo to
recognize. Independence when. In ths firs !
place , there Is a government , and when ,
In the second place , that government has
shown IU right to be considered as an In
dependent sovereignty. It seems lo mo Ihcro
Is noth-lnc In the Island ot Cuba In opposi
tion to the- Spanish forces except certain
armed bodies of men , cnch under Its own
leadership , nnd with nothing approaching a
civil government. It wo arc to take the
message ot President Cleveland ns our au
thority and that Is the- only trustworthy
authority that I know of It must be nd-
inlttcd lhat there Is not anywhere Cuba
outside Ihe Spanish lines a civil government
which Is seriously undertaking to exercise
Its functions. The claims put forth by the
Insurgents cannot b ? accepted as In any
degree conclusive In thcsa matters. I tMnk
the Incoming administration should have the
privilege of deciding what course It desires
to take In regard lo Its foreign policy , nnd
that the now president should not bo Inau
gurated with a war upon his hands with nn
Important foreign power , caused by the ac
tion of the outgoing congress. "
"Do you think that Cuba will benefit by
becoming nn Independent government ? " was
asked.
"I do not. General Draper replied. I am
not confident that the new government
would maintain civil order and the securltj
of person and property under cn.ua ! laws
for all citizens of the Island and for foreign
visitors and residents any moro effectively
than the Spanish government. I believe If 1
were to take my wtfo and family lo the
Island of Cuba they would be safer undei
Spanish rule , bad as It Is said to bo. than
under such rule as would bo Instituted 11
the Insurgents should succeed and our gov
ernment should take possession ot the Is
land. "
"The alternative for securing orderly gov
ernment , then , you think , is between Span
ish rule and American ? "
"Exactly , " was the reply. "Tho United
States ought to deliberate moro carefully ,
moreover , before themselves taking posses
sion of the Island. American control wotihl
Involve n great many obligations under n
variety of beads. One of the objections ol
the Insurgents to Spanish rule lies In the
fact that the suffrage Is limited to onu
03,000 voters out of perhaps 350,000 adull
males. They apparently desire universal
suffrage. Presumably they would not re
nounce this dcslro If the Island be-ramo e
part ot the United States. They would then
bring a now clement of corruption Inlo Ihe
union , If Cuba became.n state , and they
would ho In a constant state of Irritation
if the Island were kept * In a territorial condi
tion. There may be conditions which will
force us to take possession ot the 'Island ,
but It ought not to bo done without duo con
sideration ot the strlous problems which
such a population and such territory would
force upon Iho attention ot a representative
republic. "
"Do you not fear the disturbance ! of busi
ness confidence If the Cameron resolutions
are passed by congress ? "
"Oh , yes , " said General Draper. "It Is
evident that this shock to confidence has
been felt , even by the passage of Iho resolu
tion through Iho committee. . It seems tome
mo that our businessmen have already suf
fered enough from Internal troubles without
adding this external ono. In case of war
wo Bliould expose- our gold standard to haz
ard and thereby endanger many of the re
sults of the recent election. Wo should
compel Increased Issues of bonds for war
? ur : > osps as well as for the maintenance
of the gold reserve , nnd wo should open
the door to a big Increase of the pension
roll nnd to the disturbance ot our entire
Industrial system , which has been BO se
verely wrenched during the past four
years. "

WASHINGTON , Dec. 24. A constant de
mand for the past two years for Information
regarding the beat practices for the suc
cessful growth of hemp and Jute has led to
the issuance by the Agricultural depart
ment of a report on their culture In this
country. It phnwa that formerly the hemp
growing Industry of the United States wa ?
of considerable Importance. Largo areas
were devoted to the cultivation of the plant ,
anil as much aa 75,000 tons of the fibre were
produced lu ono year , but last year hardly
moro than C.OOO tons were reported for the
whole country.
The extension of the already established
culture of hemp , It Is staled , might supply
a substitute for the Jute In many of the
coarse jute manufactures now produced In
Ihls country , and thus re-establish one of the
decreasing products of American farmers.
The present largo demand for Indian Jute
encourages thu atlempt to produce "that
flbro In this country. For the fiscal year
1S91-95 at least 15,000 tons of the fibre and
Jute wore Imported Into this country for
manufacture , yet It Is staled lo bo perfectly
adaptable to culture In the southern portion
tion ot the United States and the samples
produced from American brown Jute have
been proved at least equal to HID Indian
producl.
Another agricultural report Is a bulletin
on Insects Injurious to grain. This rccom-
n ends early harvesting and threshing , and
give's the .bisulphide of carbon treatment
as the best remedy for thu cereal destroyed
and ot stored grain.

WASHINGTON , Dec. 21. An Interesting
review of salmon fish conditions In this
country Is made In a report of the United
States fish commission on artificial propa
gation of salmon on the I'aclllc coast. The
conclusion reached Is that , although nature
evidently has designed that the qulnault
salmon thai I not take up Its abode on the
American shores of the Atlantic. Us breed
ing serves a legitimate and very valuable
purposeIn maintaining the supply of Its
species In Us native waters of the Pacific
slope. This Is made especially apparent by
the enormous drafU made upon there fish
by the canneries and by the yearly Increas
ing consumption of fresh and salted salmon.
The report says the Rattle. Creek station of
the California station , located about seven
mile ? from Anderson , may soon pass to
the charge of the United States. This Is the
most extraordinary and prolific place for
collecting qulnault salmon eggs yet known.
though the eggs arc limited to the fall run ,
none of the summer run being found there.
It Is asserted that 3.000,000 salmon eggs
can bo taken on llattlc Creek In six weeks
of a favorable year. When the government
first operated the Clackamas station In Oregon
gen , It yielded 5,000.000 salmon eggs a
year ; but It la too neaii civilization to prosper - -
per long as a salmon breeding station , and
has been given up as a collecting point.
Several unsuccessful attempts liavc.bcen
trade to establish salmon breeding points
In the haaln of the Columbia river and also
to secure qulnault salmon eggs from the
smaller California streams flowing Into the
Pacific. Salmon arc on the Increase In
the Sacramento and McCIoud rivers. In
answering the question of what Is the result
of all this great labor and expenditure , ex
tended over so many years , the report con
tends that the salmon outlook la encourag
ing , but makes this disheartening review of
an old schemeto restock depleted salmon
rivers on the Atlantic coast :
When the government work In salmon
breeding was begun on. the Pacific coast , It
was supposed that that coast had enough
salmon , and to spare. and It was the Inten
tion of the commission to Increase the eal-
mon on the Atlantic coast by restocking Its
depleted salmon rivers. The highest hopes
were entertained of doing this. After mil
lions of salmon eggs had been procured
on this coast and i'.ifcly transported to the
Atlantic rivers , no one doubted that salmon
were going to become abundant again In
the Atlantic rivers , and many believed that
several southern rivers that had never had
salmon In them before would now bccomo
prolific salmon streams when well stocked
with this new California salmon that
abounded In warm latitudes on the Pacific
coast. The result was a stupendous surprise
and disappointment. The eggs hatched out
beautifully. The young fry grew rapidly
and were observed to go down In vast num
bers to the sea. What afterward became
of them will probably remain forever nn
unfathomable mystery. Somu have thought
that they wandered off to the far north and
so became lost to the civilized world.
Others thought that they had strayed Into
the ocean and were devoured by marine
animals and larger fish.
The report lays It down as no longer open
to question that qulnault salmon , at least
those that spawn a long distance from the
ocean , never return to It again alive. They
all die on their spawning grounds.

oMsintlal featured of the new plan ot home
rule. That giving the people the election ol
the entire congress la toll to carry out In
spirit , as well as In letter , the Idea ot home
rule.
rule.Thus far only the general nature of the
proposed changes have been made known tc
officials In Washington and the draft of the
revised plan of reforms has not been re
ceived , nor la It likely to bo completed until
after the completion of the Porto Hlco re-
fonii8 , which will bo signed by the queen
regent tomorrow as a suitable Christmas
act. Under the Spanish nyntom It will be
necessary to submit the changes to the
Cortes , which Is not In session and will not
meet until February. The Clirlslmss re
forms for Porto Illco are closely allied with
those for Cuba , being the second section ol
the saute law. They give- Porto Hlco a con
gress. the province of San Juan and Ponce
alternating two years In choosing tnombera
for a term of four years. The congress Is
given control of the whole Island public
works , telegraph , postofflce , railways and
navigation , agriculture , 'manufacture , trade ,
Immigration and colonization , public In
struction , charities , the health department ,
etc. The homo government will continue to
bo represented by a captain general , who
will exercise supervisory power and bo the
local delegate of the minister of the colonies.
The foregoing was Ihe plan approved by
the Cortes , but as in the case of Cuba , It la
believed the plans will be enlarged so as to
make the congress wholly representative of
the people of the Island. The definite action
of the queen In signing the Porto Hlco re
forms tomorrow la to lead off a similar
action In regatd to Cuba.

prosa car , two trainmen and the Pulliniu
car porter and comluclor were Ihe only onei
ot Hie crow Aboard , the others bavin ;
changed al Slater nnd Hood house. Tin
story as obtained from these men stamps tlu
robbery as one of the cleverest and bohloai
Pieces of work done by road agents durliif
the year. Mrrncnger Frier Is In a bad state
of mind. Ho feels terribly broken up ova
the robbery. The first thing he said when
the train crew asked him how he had farci1
was that the company had been hard hit
Ho now says he cannot tell how much was
taken. When seen by n representative ol
the Associated press Frier said : "I was
busy , and especially Ihls trip , and though !
the train had stopped on nreouiit of n break
down. I heard no voices outside. When
the knock came I supposed It was a brakeman -
man and opened the door. Then I was help-
less. The robbers threw my shotgun out ol
the car and broke It all to pieces. They
certainly knew their business and were very
polile , but It would not have been safe tc
have resisted them. " The polllenrss of the
robbers Impressed nil who saw them The
trainmen said they were well dressed The
leader was a little under the Influence ol
drink , lie was so Jovial lhat when he took
$1 from Conductor Nichols ho gave $2 ot It
back. The other ? 2 he presented to Frier
as a Christmas gift. Frier has been n mes
senger for the I'aclfic Uxprcss company for
twelve yours and has been connected with
express nnmpanlen for over twenty years.

statement In regard to the robbery wan

and white lanterns Just weal of the Missouri
Pacific bridge , cast of Independence. Hob
hers took charge of the engine and made
the engineer get oft. The conductor nnd
brakcman canto ahead and the robbers look
charge of them. They made- the brakem.in
go back and get Ihe train wrench and cut
lift the express car. They made lots ol
noise and did much loud talking and poundIng -
Ing on couplings while doing the work In
order to glvo the express man a chance lo
hide away his stuff. When the Iraln was
cut off the robbers made the trainmen get
off whllo Ihey took the engine * and express
car away. They next stopped In the cul '
about half way between the top of the hll'l
and Glonroe and wrapped on the express car
door. The expressman opened the door and
realized for the first time that he was being
held up. All of his valuables' ' were exposed.
He claims not to have had time to put them
In the safe nlnee leaving Kansas City. It
was , therefore , not necessary for the rob
bers to open the safe , although they were
amply provided with dynamite for that pur
pose. The amount secured foots up about
$2,000 In cash nnd may reach $3.000. They
ran the engine to Ihe second bridge east of
niendttle , where It wns left without water ,
fire or air.

NK\V YOKK , Dee. 21. The draft of the
proposed charter of Greater New York , n's
submitted to the commission , will bo pub
lished tomorrow. The legislative power Is
to be vested In a municipal assembly to
eonstet of two houses a lower house of 104
members , elected from senatorial districts ,
and nn upper house of lhlrtycveii members ,
elected from council districts. All the mem
bers of both houses are to bo elected for
the term of two years nnd all are to retlro
at once. As to everything concerning the
rights , privileges nnd llbr-rlles of Ihe clil-
zeu , respecting munleipal rule , Iho leghln-
live department Is to submll to no rctUr.ilut.
Hut In reaped to public Improvements , the
action of the municipal assembly Is to bo
further subjected to Iho concurrenceof the
llo.ird of Kbtlmatc and Apportionment. The
mayor Is to have power to appoint all Hie
administrative and executive ulllccrs of the
city , exr-cpi comptroller , who Is rendered
elective by the people every four years , so
thai Iho treasury nnd finances will con
stantly be In the- hands of an Independent
department.
The mayor Is to hnvo supervisory control
over the various departments , and an en
larged veto power upon the acta of the
municipal somhly. Ills patronage and hlfl
power nro BO great Hint ho will In these par
ticulars be n dlgnltnry second only hi Im
portance to the governor of the state. The
mayor Is to bo given absolute power to re
move at will every administrative ofllrcr ,
Irrespective of the prescribed term of olllce.
during the first months ot his administra
tion. After thai ho can remove only on
charges , wllli Ihe approval of the governor.
Where the powers ot the administrative
departments nro largely discretionary. It IH
proimsed to have the departments presided
over by a board of two or more commis
sioners. Where they nro executive merely
but one commissioner has been provided
for. lly far the largest nnd most Important
board Is to be the board of public Improve
ments , consisting ot the heads of six newly
created departments the department ot
water supply , of highways , ot eewors , of
street cleaning , ot public buildings , lighting
and supplies and the department of bridges.
This Is the SI. Louis Hjwlent. The polled
department will have four commlsaloncrrf ,
as now , and Will include the bureau of olcc-
tloiit ! . The charities department nnd the
park department will bo presided over by
three commissioner ! ) each. The- law department -
ment , the lire department and the depart
ment of concction will have single heads ,
The building department may have four.
Greater New York Is to he- divided Into
five borough : , : Manhattan , the llrnnx , the
Brooklyn , the Queens and Richmond , nnd n
certain degree of homo rule Id to be granted
lo Iho boroughii. There ore to bo live com
missioners ot taxes and assessment , Instead
of three , as al present , nnd n system for the
equalization of the varying conditions in the
consolidated territory has been * devised.
In the mailer of education , n plan wan
adopted which ccnlrallzeo In a hoard ot
education representing the whole city , Ihe
physical conduct of the schools and which
devolves upon school boards appointed by
the mayor in every borough the. educational
conduct ot the ( schools.
The committee concluded not to deal with
municipal ownership , but says : "From nn
original nnd tdenl standpoint It Is easy to
see Hint the city would become Hie recipient
of vast revenues by the ownership nnd
operation of all franchises for lighting by
gas or electricity and for tramways nnd
oilier purposes necessary lo Iho life and
business of a metropolitan community and
exercised KO largely by a UFO of the streets
and avcnuca belonging to the people. Nor
could any one well deny the right nnd power
of HIP people to embark In such cnlorprijes.
In Creator New York , however , private capi
tal , upon the faith of Iho slate. Is embarked
largely In such franchises. It would take
a sum too vast to bo hastily computed to
acquire the properties thus vested In private
persons by fair compensation. "
