CHICAGO, Dec. 25.—Chicago en-
joyed its most successful Christmas
Day today, due to the thorough man-
ner In which the charitable organiza-
tions did their work. More than 100,-
000 basket dinners were distributed.
The downtown missions and several
churches kept open house and fed hun-
dreds of residents of cheap lodging
houses.
Santa Claus, in the person of "Good
Fellows," visited about 20,000 homes
where Christmas would otherwise have
been no different from other days. The
"Good Fellows" -esponded to every
letter addressed to Santa Claus re-
ceived by the postoffice, to every ap-
peal sent to their organization. They
distributed food, clothing, toys and in
many cases money, leaving cheer, hap-
piness and encouragement in their
wake. Inmates of prisons and hospi-
tals were not overlooked.

NKW YOKK, Dec. 25.—Well-attended
■ liurch services aud the distribution of
Christmas dinners to nearly 100,000 of the
city dependents were the features of New
York's observance of the day of Nativity.
The day broke with the gentleness asso
elated with "Indian summer," clouded up
threateningly about noon, and ended in
showers and drlssles. One result of this
was that the celebration planned in con*
unction with the People's Out of-Door
Christmas tree iu Madison Square had to
be postponed until tomorrow night.
The Salvation Army led in the distribu-
tion of Christmas cheer. Outside of is-
Mlnp 5,000 dinner baskets, each of which
itotained food enough for six. the organi
cation entertained 3,500 children with a
Christina! trfte party.
One thousand baskets were given by
the Volunteers of America and 5,000 dinners
were served by the heirs of "Big Tim"
Sullivan.
Turkey dinners were served in all of
the public and charitable Institutions and
afternoon entertainments were given. In-
mates of New York's prisons were not
overlooked, though In some cases the usual
entertainments were omitted.
One of the notable events of the day
was the celebration organized hv the
"Spugs," or Society for the Prevention of
l seless Giving. More than 1,000 adults
and children, rich and poor, attended Its
Christmas tree party, at which presents,
coffee, cake, sandwiches and candy were
distributed.

BROWNSVILLE, Tex., Dec. 25.—During
yesterday and today there has been a
considerable troop movement of Constitu-
tionalists out of Matamoros towards Mon-
terey, six special trains carrying 3,000 sol-
diers having been sent out. General Pablo
Gonaales, who is military commander for
tho State of Tauiaullpas, left Matamoros
this morning to personally conduct the
campaign against Monterey.
Constitutionalist officers today an-
nounced that they expected Monterey to be
General Gou
by keeping loiterers and Idlers from the
vicinity of his house.
The cottage is only ope of a number that
dot the shore of the Mississippi Sound,
the entrance to which, named Puss Ji|lirls-
tlan, after its Spanish dUcyvtm-*. Chri*-
Hana, lies a few mile* due south fa# in
the President's house. The original vet
tiers were Spanish and French, the lan-
guage of the latter still being spoken by
many of the Inhabitants. Some of the
iiualnt old dwelllugs remain, but for the
rmost part the shore Is dotted by big bun-
galows and cottages.
The President's home is a square raised
cottage with Colonial columns and two
balustrades that reach to the tipper story
from a well-kept lawn. The lower floor,
the residence or the proprietress, who or-
dinarily converts the house into a board-
ing establishment, is painted bright yel-
low, a contrast to the lead white color
above.
The house is (n humble contrast to the
many handsome homes which border the
gulf coast, but is picturesquely set, over-
looking the still waters of the Mississippi
Sound, and somewhat hidden by a cluster
of live oaks, ferns, palms and pines.
Low mud flats stretch away for some
distance from the beach road, from which
at every hundred yards long runways
supported by saplings extend to little bath-
ing houses far out In the sound.
The President's plans for his vacation
were much the same ns on his trips to
Cornish, N. I!., the summer capital—golf
In the morning, a motor ride In the aft-
ernoon and quiet evenings at home, with
absolutely no social diversions or political
cullers.
The golf course is thirteen miles away,
a distance in keeping with the President's
fondness for the number thirteen. The
Presbyterian Church is not quite half a
mile away.
The President expects to have a rest-
ful vacation, and the town authorities are
unxtous that lie shall have It. The crack
lng of torpedoes and the shooting of
fireworks, by which Christmas Ik cele-
brated in some parts* of the South, was
the only noise that the village authorltes
could not well suppress, but the Presi-
dent said he enjoyed it all.

CALUMET, Mich., Dec. 25.—On the day Christendom sets aside as ona
of rejoicing over the birth of the'Savior, Calumet, stricken to the hoart by
an almost unbelievable catastrophe, stands mourning by the side of it? deaii,
the seventy-two victims, most of them children, of the frightful panic oit
Christmas Eve in Italian Hall. This panic followed a false alarm cry of tire
during the progress of a Christinas tree entertainment arranged for fa'rtil.es
of the copper mine strikers. All bitterness that has existed in this strike
ridden community during the past months Is wiped away by the one greal
common affliction. Today the people of Calumet can only see their r.tigh'
bors, their brothers, their sisters and their little children staggering utide
an almost unbearable burden of distress and grief.
A mass meeting of Calumet citizens was held this afternoon to cx4
press sympathy and devise ways and means to ameliorate the suffering anif
sorrow of those families on which the hand' of death had fallen. A com<|
mittee of twelve was appointed to visit each home and ascertain what fman*
cial aid was needed. Funds are assured and no outside aid will be sought,

WASHINGTON, D. C„ Dee. 25.—A^nsr-
ent quiet In the Mexican situation was in-
terpreted here today by officials as merely
a "holiday armistice" and temporary.
Strategists believe that General Villa, the
Constitutionalist leader whose victories
already have placed him in the forefront
of the Constitutionalist movement, will
press his campaign southward with a view
to carrying the warfare into the Federal
district to compete with General Huerta
for the mastery of the Mexican capital.
Official dispatches received today were
meager. Rear Admiral Fletcher, command-
ing the American squadron in Mexican
gulf waters, reported his departure on
the flagship Ithode Island from Tampleo
Oscar , for Vera Cruz. As his recent laconic dis-
patches from Tampleo have told repeatedly
of the restoration of order in that lately
disturbed flection, it i> believed he his
gone to Vera Cruz to assign to their proper
stations the battleships just arrived there
to relieve the vessels about to return to
home waters. As Admiral Fletcher is
directing the battleship maneuvers at his
own discretion, officials thought they
might return without notice to Tampleo,
where further hostilities may ensue as
a result of Constitutionalist determination
to gain control of a p*rt of entry on the
gulr coast.
While reports of Francisco do In Bajra's

were received with Interest here, officials
wore Inclined to believe that Emperor
