The mem bers of the Railway Commission have all gone to their respective homes.

He said there were fewer mortgages, but added that it was be cause the farmers could not get credit. It is confessedly difficult to get money on iarm mortgages, country property being in com paratively sludit demand. People who oppose the homestead sys em claim that the lioinesteatt law is in large measure responsi ble for this. . : The number of mortgages canceled this year has been fully up to the average, this being quite a surprise to those who montns ago made calculations of very pinching timps and exnected very few cancellations. ft was said to dav on the street' that the next grand jury would return a bill against iitim Wilson in connection with the '"Gid- in's Band" business.

Toys of all Kind Pouring Into tba Cleve land Minsiaa From all Fart of tho Country. Nkw York, Dec. 34. Presidentelect Cleveland's residence in West Fifty-first ttreet is being decorated with Christmas greens. W reaths have been placed at each Window and the dainty little drawing room is trimmed with mistletoe, pine boughs and evergreen. It is intended by Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland to observe Sunday as Christma8 day. They will partake of a splendid tur key sent by an admiring Longlsland farmer." Already enough toys and other gifts to stock a store have poured in for Baby Ruth. Therej are enough dolls alone for a dozen children,! wniie ot jumping jacks, jucKS-in-tne-Dox and other play things, there are almost too many to count. The reception of presents for Kuth keeps the butler and maid busy nearly all the dav. It has been suggested that the gifts be placed upon-a little Christ mas tree and that Baby ltuth's boy and girl friends be invited k witness the display. The tree had not arrived this morning. LJnles the plans are changed, Mrs. Cleve land will leave for her visit to her mother in Buffalo Wednesday or Thursday next. Her daughter is to accompany her. During her abseuce the President-elect will . make preparations for removing to Lakewood for the winter. It was said to-day by an inti mate friend of Mr. Cleveland that he would probably go to his Lakewood cottage before -January lOtn. Mrs. Cleveland will join mm there on or about that date. The cottage is almost ready for their reception. Mr. Cleve land will remain at the ''little white house' until they go to Washington in March. THE CRISIS IN FRANCE. EVIDENCE OF A CONSFRACY AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT. 1' Ian Wavkt VavU ... If ft ft llr cf Xkw Yobk, Dec. 24. Trading at the Stock Exchange was limited this morning, only 72,000 shares changing hands, of which 6,000 were unlisted. In the first transactions prices wre generally a fraction below those ruling at the close yesterday, but subse quently a firmer tone prevailed, due to the disposition on the part of some of the smaller bears to even up their trades. They did not care to sro home with contracts on their books over a double holiday. Man hattan was the only feature of note. This stock opened at 1304, receded to 130. and ad vanced steadily to 1-wi, closing at tne top fiarure. The enhancement is the result of a belief that that company has but little to fear from the proposed underground route. Another reason for the rise. is that the Pierrepout-Morgan committee will soon report a plan whereby the com pany's lines will be extended and its rev enues largely increased. Judge Ingraham to-day decided to continue the injunction restraining the Panama road from entering into contracts with transportation com panies outside of the Pacilic Mail Steamship company, and the stock of the latter rose from 27 to 28. In the general railway list Grangers were particularly strong, near the close advancing to i per cent, lhe kcck Island regular quarterly dividend of 1 per cent, was officially announced and the amountis just what had been looked for.The strength of speculation in final transactions was partly due to tne unexpectedly goon. bank statement. -ag Gil an' commits suiciue. iuc u- Refinery company's warehouses ivere burncll yesterday' evening.

The authorities have in stituted a prosecution against Dr. Robert Graham, whose disregard of law in giving a certificate of death in the case of Matilda Clover, for whow murder Thomas Xeill Cream was recently executed, was largely resDonsiDle for the real cause ot death being unsusoecteu until suspicion was ttrouoeu uv the personal admissions of Cream. At the inquest concerning the death of Matilda clover and subseauentlv at the trial of Cream in the Old Bailey Dr. Graham testified that he gave the death certihcate without having seen the woman during her last iilness, although 011 prior occasions- he had Dresuribed tor her to counteract effe..tsof strong driukin..

The statement in these dispatches that the Ministry have evidence that the present attack on the Government is part of an organized plan for the over throw of the Republic and that each step taken is carefully discussed in advance y the plotters against the constitution is fully confirmed and the evidence has arrived at that stage that the Government is prepared to arrest certain of the conspirators against whom there is sufficient evidence. Andrieux is regarded as the manager of the plot aganst the republic, and the first blow is to be struck at him. When warned that he would be arrested to-day, Andrieux replied "I have nothing to fear. If I am arrested it will be to save Floquet from disgrace and punishment. -The Government is seeking for clues to prove the existence of a Boulan gist and Royalist "plot and desires to make out that I amimplicated in it. It seems to me that the real plot is 01 anotner character. I have'taken precautions so that if I go to the Government aubliette dungeon, the pub lic will know the real motives for my arrest."

The Sieele states to-day that the Government holds proof of a Boulan- trist nonsDirjcv to eitect a revolution involv ing the same plotters as conspired for the destruction oi the republic in 1888: - From other sources it is learned tnat even more vigorous measures will, be taken now than in 18S8, and that President Caruot and his Ministers will show some energy in putting down the treason ot ' the Imperialist and Kovahst Blotters, as was shown in putting do wn Anarchist outrages in the early part of the year. ; - , lhe victory of the Government in the Chamber of Deputies has spread gloom and consternation among the enemies of the republic, and they are much less aggressive in their utterances to-day than yesterday.

Losdox,' Dec. 24 The appeals of Madame Ferdinand DeLesseps to popular sentiment in the last week have proved a failure. Her description of Castle LaCbenaye as a bare barn, insufficiently heated and furnished, is contradicted by hundreds of Parisians, who have visited DeLesseps' family seat in the last two year?. In fact, as everybody in l'aris'in high life knows,, the president of the Panapia Canal'company has surrounded himself with all the luxury that his social station required and has" prided himself especially upon the richness of the comfort which he has been able to aff ord all visitors at his present residence. Madame De-Laps has been especially anxious to shine as an pntertalner, and has S-ent, as she still spends, the oid man's money hh lapb band- She is, therefore, hated cordially by the poor people pf France, who have lost heavily by investment in the Panama Canal enterprise.

In fact in re cent years everybody in Paris society has understood that it was a perilous matter to mentiomthename'of Mrs. Ferdinand De Lesseps in her stepson's presence. That her husband was tormented day and night by her conduct was generally known and it was equally apparent that he failed mentally and physically under his domestic burden. Several times he was driven almost to the point of suing for a'divoree, but every time desisted in the interest of the canal com pany, which he believed would suffer from the stigma placed by scandal upon his name. Before his arrest Charles DeLesseps said significantly thai his father had been too much occupied with private matters to observe the methods of the company. He referred undoubtedly to the painful dis traction afforded by fhp necessity of guard ing Madame DeLesseps. - At present Madame de Lessens noses as a heroine at her disgraced husbands bedside for several reasons. She is anxious to get br much as possible of his money when he dies, and she wishes to conciliate Charles and Victor de" Lesseps so that they will leave her in peaceful possession.

Stagnation in business here md the wet and sloppy weaher that has prevailed have tended to make the week preceding Christmas, usually characterized by briskness in business affairs, about the dullest within the memory of the oldest residents. To-day was the brightest day of the week and there was a slight frost. The sun shine and bracing atmosphere brought out . crowds 5 of sight, seers, - who thronged the streets, gazing at the display in -the shop windows, but business was small. The people of the middle classes, who are usually the best of customers during this generally festive period, have bought only cheap trifles and workingmen with little or no money are obliged to limit their indul gence in Christmas cheer. It is often sus pected that the complaints of shop keepers about the bad condition of trade are not genuine, but this year such complaints are known to be sadly true. The outlook for improvement in any branch of trade is ex ceedingly gloomy. Commercial and finan cirl circles alike take a pessimistic view of the situation and croakers, who at one time would have received scant attention, are now listened to as though they were oracles. Operators on the Bourse nave lost their usual daring and now enter into specula tions with a timidity that is foreign to their natures. Bourse transactions are overshad owed by fears of a political convulsion in France, and disturbed by the condition of home affairs arising from the Army bill, and the projects ot taxation especially re garding bank and stock transactions form another element of suspense. Some finan ciers hold that the effects of these projects will be ruinous, while others form a milder estimate of the result. - There is nobody, however, but who calculates that these pro jects will have an influence to prevent im provement in business. The newspapers seized upon the occasion to comment on the misery that is prevailing among the wonting classes, v erwarts pud lishes a Christmas article in which it expa tiates upon tne inghttui suaerings ot the poor throughout uermany. The paptr says that while therj is plen ty of carefully nourished game in the torests the worEingmen are allowed to die of hunger. Though the article is written in the customary style of Socialest exaggeration, it has a large basis of fact. While charity is abundant it is badly organ ized and really does not reach the mass of sufferers. Prominent among those who are working to alleviate the misery of the poor is Empress Frederick, mother of Emperor William. Every day throughout the week she has been engaged in some work of kind ness. -Yesterday she spent several hours at Frederichs Half hospital. She presided at the distribution of Christmas presents, of which she was a large contributor. In the children's ward" she went to every cot and gave to earn occupant some plaything aud a lied Ridingliood cloak, most of which were sent through the legation to the children by American ladies here.

Emma Goldman, of New York, is said to be at the head of a movement to secure a commutation of sen tence for Berkman, the anarchist, who shot Mr. Frick, It is intended (o inae W ap peal to the Supreme court on the ground that uericman was illegally convicteu uii the sewn indiotments, when he should have been tried only on two viz.. the felonious assault on Mr. Frick and the incidental as sault on Mr. Leishman. Attorney Joseph Friedman, who defended Berkman, says: "This will be a novel plea, the first of iij kind ever presented, hut it may stand. There U no cfoUbt tfiat the other charges, felonious entry and carrying concealed wefliPons are merely supplementary to the higher crime, and should naive t?e?u drappefj whan the man was m'pd for the shooting.

Washington, Dec. 24. The improvement in Mr. Blaine's condition continues. What was practically a "death watch" established upon him ten days ago, has been relaxed, and an air of greater cheerfulness prevails around the Blaine mansion. ' - All the Executive Departments closed to day at noon, and will not be opened for business qjtU Tuesday. " .: Archbishop Corrigan this morning gave out the, following written statement re specting the Dr. McGlynn ' case : "The Archbishop has learned with great pleasure the good news published in this morning's papers of the return of Dr. McGlynn to the communion of the Church. At the .' proper time, I will not say when, I wil express to the Most Reverend Delegate Apostolic my thankfulness for the good offices his Excel lency has taken in the premises." A re porter afterward had a personal interview with the Archbishop, and asked him if Dr. McGlynn would be assigned to his old parish of St. Stephen. The Archbishop said: "I must decline to say anything further than is contained in the written statement given to the press."' It seems as though President Harrison's troubles will never end. Two months ago to-morrow he lost his wife. About a month later his father-in-law died and yesterday his grandchild, Martena Harrison was stricken with scarlatina. The event has cast an additional gloom over the heavily sorrow-laden household, and , the White House is therefore closed to the public to-day, and the President excused himself to all callers except the Attorney General. It will be a sad Christmas at the White House for the adults with the loving faces absent from the family circle. The Presi dent has abandoned his proposed ducking trip next week. Secretary Elkins had a conference with Gen. Schbfield at the- War Department to-day with regard to the best method of effectually suppvr"ing the apparently in creasing lawles.snccfl along the Rio Grande. Capt. J. G.

Last night was cold throughout the North. All the colleries in the Mabonay coal dis trict of Pennsylvania shut down, so much damage having been done by the bursting of water pipes. A negro was found frozen to death in the street in Milford. Del., this morning and a white man was also found dead from the same cause in a field near Schenectady, N. Y. " I The present session of the Fifty-second Congress is not.quite up to the anti-holiday record of the short session of the Fifty-first Congress. The House has so . far passed the Army bill, and reported the Fortifications bill. When the holiday recess of the Fifty first Congress was taken the Army and the Navy bills had been reported and passed, besides a small Deficiency bill carrying with it an appropriation of almost 8500,000.

(H'chaionl Dtspitoti ) Chicago, Dec. 23.Gen. C. E. Warren, of Montana, is at the Leland Hotel. In regard to the gold shipments he said: "This scare a.bout so much gold leaving the country does not frighten residents of Montana, who know the mineral possibilities of the State. Why. Montana can produce $150, 000.000 per year in gold if forced to it. There are no less than 5,000 gold properties in the State which are pay ing claims. From these mines Montana alone can produce gold enough to pay the national debt. While we believe in.free and unlimited coinage of silver, and that the country can consume the entire produ ct of silver, we admit that if silver should, BO to 60 cents an ounce it would close every silver- mine In Montana and force every miner to turn to gold mining." KISSING IN PUBLIC. Bis a Who Are Net Pioperly Broken, la Always Blothtodalt , They were certainly a very likely and res table looking young couple, and they were as loving and tender toward each other as though they were not yet married. The probabilities are that in the early part of July, or, at the greatest, not longer than the middle of Jane, they were made one and inseparable, and on this particular occasion they were to be parted for a few brief hours for the first time since their marriage day. At any rate, they were at the West Shore station very early in the morning, says the Utica (N. Y.) Observer, and the appearances indicate that the young wife was going home to spend the day. "You surely will not miss the train to-night?" he inquired for the fifth or sixth time. "Oh, no," she as sured him, solemly and impressively. "If you should, I would just about go wild." he declared. "So should I," she replied. "Well, then, you must be sure and not miss it," he repeated, with a scared look in his eyes. UNo, I certainly must not," she said with an earnestness that carried conviction with it. 6 - Then she continued: "You will find me a real nice seat, won't you, dear?" '"Yes. I will get you a seat alltiy yourself," he said, with -an assurance that meant that if he shouldn't happen to find a vacant seat in the car somebody would be thrown out of the window to make room for his birdJing. "And you will not be afraid to kiss me good-bye right in the coach; will you?" she inquired, looking tenderly into his eyes. "Oh,I guess I'd better-kiss you here before we get into the car. People always stare so," ne answered evasively. "But I like to have you kiss me the last thing.'f she pouted, "and I don't care how much people stare, do you?" "N-no." he replied. "But . I thought it might be unpleasant for you. ' I guess I'd better kiss you in the depot before we' go out." I "Well, if you are ashamed of me proba bly you had," she flashed. "I didn't think you would be ashamed of me so soon," and her lips trembled. "I am not ashamed of you. my dear." he began.i "only I thought that there might be some coarse persons in the car that would make fun of us if I should kiss you good bye there." "I'd like to know what that is but being ashamed of me," she exclaimed. "I just don't care a snap whether you kiss me at all or not. I think you have no business to treat me so, and I don't care if I do mil s the train to-night." "Settle it! Settle!" shouted a voice over in the other corner, where a drowsy drummer was stretched out with his head on his grip and his legs over the end of the seat. "Kiss her in both places or else let me ' And the young people walked out on the platform and around the other side of the building. w hen . the train came, nrteen minutes later, he walked right into the car and found her a seat, and then bent down and gave her a smacK that sounded use toe blowing out of a cylinder head. As the train moved away jthe drummer turned around and said : I "I congratulate you, young lady, you've got him well broke." A Catholic Conarreaa Called. Chicago.- Dec. 24.
