THE BOTTOM FELL OUT.
A Texas Railroad Blocked by the Sinking
of the Earth's Crust

CHICAGO, January 20th-A dispatch from
Midlothian, Tex, says: Great excitement
has been caused here by the sinking near
the Union depot, without apparent cause,
OF strip of territory 200 yards long, over
which runs the Fort Worth and New Or
leans Railway. On Thursday afternoon
rumoling sounds were heard and shortly
afterward the strip of ground commenced
sinking gradually, and within a few hours
seemed to be getting out of sight. The
railroad called construction train into
service and had forty carloads of gravel
placed, in az effort to raise the grade but
by night the gravel had sunk three feet
bslow the original level OF the road and
trains could not leave the depot. Some
think the sink has been caused by SUBJ
terranean river. The railroad people are
investigating this theory.

Public Sentiment Regarding the Atmis
sion Bills Before Congress

TACOMA, January 2Oth.-Regarding the
sentiment concerning the omnibus bill
hereaboufs it may be stated as anything TO
get Washington Territory admitted at the
earliest possible moment The Springer
bill is generally regarded as the quickest
means TO this end. 1t is bill that, with
the amendments thereto. will but trammel
progress and defer admission 1t makes
little difference whether the Platt or the
Dawes bill passes, though the second
named is thoaght the most equitable by
prominent persons talked with. Never
theless, it is believed that Spripger's bill is
most likely of an early passage. Ifthe ad-
mission of Utah could be eliminated Il
would be more satisfactory, but the people
prefer to take the bitter with the sweet,
rather than delay statehood.

THE RAILROAD DEBTS.
@. p. HuDtington's Argument Before the
House Railroad Committee.

WASHINGTON, January Gothic. P. Hunt
ington made an argument before the
Pacific Railroad Funding Committee yes-
terday. He spoke in favor of the bill in
troduced recently by Senator Mitchell,
which provides for settlement of the
debts of all the Pacific roads, instead of the
Union Pacific and its central branches
alone. Mr. Huntington says he believed
that the bill would be acceptable to himself
and associates, and that after an ascertain
ment of the debt is made its other provi.
sions could be successfully carried out. II
is not probable, however, in the opinion OF
the members OF the committee, that anv
legislation will be accomplished at this
session of Congress.
