How Christmas Was Spent
in 7 Washingtbn.
President and Mrs. Cleveland Pass
the Day in Seclusiou at the White
House—Members of ‘ the Cabinet
Entertain a. Few Friends.
,WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.—The president
celebrated Christ-mas at the white house
with his family. Private Secretary Thur-
ber'held forth in the public part of the
mansion under the protection of a. new
feature in white house matters—the ex—
clusion of all comers from the executive
offices. It was understood that this new
order of things was adopted to shield Mr.
Thurber from answering embarrassing
questions concerning the probability that
the president and his family would leave
Washington to—day to spend the balance
of the holidays at Lakewood.
There was no Christmas service at the
president’s church, the First Presbyterian.
Vice-president and Mrs. Stephenson, in-
stead .of spending Christmas day in this
city and taking dinner at the Hotel Nor:
mandia, as it was generally suppos'é‘d they
would, took the 3 o’clock train in the af~
ternoon for Baltimore, accompanied by
their two daughters, together with Mrs.
and Miss Scott, to be present at the mar-
riage of Miss Ewing, daughter of the min-
ister to Belgium. The vice—president gave
the bride’s hand in marriage.
The secretary of state and Mrs. Gresham
spent their first Christmas for many years
in this city in a very quiet fashion at the
Arlington, were they took late dinner
with their neice, Mrs. Fuller, as their only
guest.
The secretary of war and Mrs. Lamont
spent the day at their residence on Lafay-
ette square. Mrs. Lamont and the chil-
dren having returned Saturday from a
two—day’s visit in New York. Miss Grace
Sounders accompanied the party on their
return, and will spend the season here as
Mrs. Lamont’s guest. A fine Christmas
tree was prepared for the especial benefit
Of Frances, who, born in IVashingt-on
during the former residence of her parents
in this city, ’is now 5 years old. The score
tary, Mrs. Lamont and Miss Saunders at»
tended service at the New York Avenue
Presbyterian church, where the former
were among the regular attendants dur-
ing their stay in this city.
Secretary Herbert had with him as
guests his son—in-law and daughter, chief
clerk of the Navy department and Mrs.
Micou.-
The secretary and Mrs. Carlisle will
have as guests during the coming fort-
night their son, \Viliiam K. Carlisl'e, who,
with his wife and three children, arrived
from Chicago Saturday for the purpose of
spending the holidays with his parents.
N o formal invitations were issued for the
7 o’clock dinner last evening, but several
friends Of the secretary were asked to join
the family party.
Secretary and Mrs. Smith had especial
cause for thankfulness, as their two chil-
dren, who have been ill for weeks past
with scarletfever, have now been pro~
pounced entirely well by their physician.
As it was not considered prudent for the
little folks to go out a Christmas tree was,
prepared for them.
The secretary of. agriculture and his sis-
ter, Miss Morton, were separated this
season from the distant members of the
family for the first time in years. Early
in the week they expect to have as their
guests until after the New Year Mr. and
Mrs. Paul Morton, who, with their little
girls, aged 6 and 11 years, will come from
Chicago on a short visit.
The postmaster general and Mrs. Bissell
had as their guest the latter’s brother, Mr.
Phil Sturgis, of Geneva, N. Y. First As-
sistant Postmaster General Frank Jones
joined the family at dinner last evening.
Attorney General Olney has established
a pleasant precedent in the department of
justice. He not Only excused all the cm-
ployes at noon on Saturday, but in addi-
tion specially gladdened the hearts of the
messengers, firemen, elevator conductors
and chamomen by giving each of them
an order for a turkey for his or her Christ-
mas dinner. This recalls similar gener-
osity on the part of cit—Secretary IVhit—
ney, who made a practice 90‘ give a turkey
to everybody in the Navy department,
high and low in station, on the four
. Thanksgiving days in his term, and to en-
tertain them at his country home at Grass:
lands on the Fourths of July falling
within the same period.
The attorney general and Mrs. Olney
past Christmas in Boston with their
youngest married daughter, Mrs. Minot,
towhom they made the promise in this
respect some time since.

Sunk to; Keep the Flames
From Consuming Her.
”An Exciting Run of Seventy Miles
Back to Port—sailors Tried Twice
to -Desert Her—Reached Cuban
Waters With the Rigging on Fire.
NEW YORK, Dec. 26.—The steamship
Seneca, which returned to Havana Sun-
‘ day morning with fire in her forehold, was
sunk in the harbor at that port yesterday
in order to save her. . Manager Hughes, of
James E. Ward and Company, NO. 113
Wall streets, agents of the line, said that
the firm had received a cable despatch
which conveyed the information that the
Seneca had caught fire in the lower hold
just after leaving Havana. She was about
seventy miles from port, and the crew
were startled by an explosion. When they
reached the deck the vessel was in flames,
and the cry went up that a dynamite
bomb had exploded.
The Wheel was immediately put to star-
board and the Seneca was headed back to
Havana. The crew worked against the
worst enemy of the sailor, the fire fiend,
.until daylight. Then, having become ex-
hausted, they appealed to Captain Stevens
and asked him to abandon the ship. _
According to the dispatch, the captain
stood on the bridge and commanded them
to return to their duty. Twice the action
of the crew was repeated before the
steamer made the 70 miles which brought
her back to the island. The rigging was
then ablaze, and the efiorts of the crew
having been unsuccessful in subduing the
flames the order was given by Captain
Stevens to sink her. The seacocks were
opened and the vessel filled in a short
time, and lies today, so far as the infor-
mation of the W'ard line agents goes, at
the bottom of the bay near Havana.
, The cable says crew and passengers are
safe on shore. .
Commodore Hughes says that he be
lieves the vessel to be in a position so that
she can be raised without much trouble
or expense. The Ward line people are
much exercised over the numerous dis-
asters of the past year, and Commodore
Hughes remarked that he “wished ’93
would close and ’94 begin.”
“Nothing but trouble this year,” said
the commander.
The company’s steamship City of Alex-
andria was burned on the way from Mat-
anzas to Havana, N 0v. 1. A few weeks
ago a dynamite cartridge was found in
a sack of coffee shipped in the freight of
the City of Washington. As the ship 11 ad
just arrived from Mexican ports the in-
ference was that the explosive was placed
on board before she reached Havana.
In the case of the City of Alexandria,
the fire was preceded be an .explosion
among the freight. In the present in-
stance the flames were discovered among
the freight in the fore-hold. Had it not
been discovered in time to put back the
indications are that the loss of life would
have been greater than on the City of
Alexandria, when 11 of the crew were
lost.
Vailiaut to be Removed to Prison.
PARIS,»Dec. 26.~—The physicians attend-
ing Auguste Vaillant, who threw the
bomb in the chamber of deputies, reported
to-day that the wound in his thigh had
cicatrized. Vaillant will be transferred
from the inflrmary to the prison do in
Saute, probably on Thursday. His reit—
ccncc has increased daily until he now re-
fuses to talk of his crime, although he
reads all the newspapers print concerning
him and his former associates.‘
A New Bicycle Records.
NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-The loo-mile bi-
cycle record, which was 6 hours and 20
