While under such proceeding the chances
are that not more than One-half the SUN

century more in which to settle their ac-
count. in the meantime pa ying a low rate OF
interest upon the Indebtedness.
The tremendous opposition developed on
both sides OF the House at the last session,
however, seems to preclude the possibility
OF the passage of a funding bill OF any sort,
although many of its bitterest opponents
were showed under in the elections OF 1894.
1t will thus be seen that the chances for
securing the passage OF some kind OF funding
bill during this session are tolerably good.
But, on the other hand, there are some very
determined men In both the House and Sem
ate opposed to continuing the Pacific roads
any longer under their present manage
ment and unless some changes are made in
the Senate rules it viii be difficult to pass a
funding bill through that body in the face Of
determined opposition.

PACIFIC RAILROAD DEBTS
Old Question of Bond-Aided Roads
Before Congress.
ment TO Take Possession of the
Lines by Foreclosure.

Already in the present session the problem
of the settlement of the debts due the
United States by the boId-aided Pacific
railroad companies, which was such a con-
tinuous theme of discussion during the
Fifty-third Congress, has come to the front.
SO many plans were never proposed for
the solution of any question before Congress.
More than 100 bills have been introduced
with the avowed object Of either severing
the relations of the government with these
roads or else funding these debts and Civ
ing the roads 90 or 100 years more to set
tie up. None OF these bills, however, seem
to be practicable. They are too radical on
one side or the other.
Representatives from the Pacific coast
and many states west OF the Missouri along
the line of the Union and Central Pacifics
are In favor of the government taking pos
session OF the lines by foreclosure, paying
off the first mortgage and running it as a
government highway. They believe that it
would act as a great regulator OF freight
rates. and that In time the Cnlt.d States
would get out of the line almost the entire
sum put into it. Others do not believe in
government ownership, but think that the

TIDlNGS OF MABEL STUART
Missing Girls Sister Received a
Letter From Her.
''You Need Not Worry About Me;
Am All Right" Is What
She Wrote.

The family n Miss Mabel Stuart ,of Har-
per's Ferry, W. Va, who recently disap-
peared mystcriously from Camden station,
Baltimore, have heard from her in the past
few days, but they say they do not know
her present whereabouts.
Her sister, Miss Julia Stuart, who lives
at Bolivar, about mile from Harper's
Ferry. received letter from Mabel, which
said: You need not worry about me. lam
all right The letter was postmarked
Glcncovc, Queens County, N. Y.
Mr.. Stuart, Mabers father, said the letter
gave no particulars that indicated why
Mabel left her home, what She is doing or
where she is. He said, also, he thought IL
was mailed from Glencnye TO keep any OF
The family from knowing where she is, and
he'll sai isried that within a short time Mabel
will let him know where she has gone or else
return home.
Mrs. Stuart says she is satisfied that her
daughter was not abducted, as was at first
supposed, but that she went off Of her own
voliii ion. She found That Mabel had taken
nearly all the clothes she possessed, even in
Guiding her summer clothes.
The father, mother and other members
of the family are OF the opinion that Mabel
ls with some theatrical company, and that
her leaving home as she did was prear-
ranged. The fact that nearly all the theat-
rical companies which stop at Harpers
Ferry remain at the Potomac House. Mr..
Stuarts hotel, strengthens this belief.
Several days ago Mr.. Stuart got clip
ping from New York paper which said that
a mabel Stewart had been found uncon
scious on Centre street, in that city, and al
a police station had several epileptic fits.
She was charged with being a vngrant
and was committed to the workbouse. Mr..
George Stuart, brother OF Mabel, went a
once to New York, and wrote to bis father
that the Mabel Stewart referred to In the
clipping was a woman thirty years OF age
and was not his sister.
Mr.. Stuart then wrote to his son notify
ing him of the letter received from Mabel.
and telling him to go TO Giencove, but young
Stuart had already started horne. He had
not reached home yesterday.
The elder Mr.. Stuart said he Will wait
a few days to consult with his son, and un
less something more definite is heard from
Mabel he will go or send to GlencOve and
try to trace her.

WAR OUT OF THE QUESTION.
More ConciiiatOry Tone of the British
Press Regarding Venezuela.

London, Jan. 6.-Comn!ent!ng upon the
effect produced by its dispatches from
Washington ancnt the Venezuela dispute,
the Chronicle says: We are aware OF the
magnitude OF our commissioners task, and
the difficulties which beset him, but we lay
down two general propositions. both testi-
flying 10 the soundncss of his case. The first
is 10 accept a situation where it is impossible
for any self-respccting statesman to govern
the British Empire with honor.
War with America is to be ruled out OF
the category of things which cannot even
be considered. The second proposition is
TO avoid the danger Of either party shutting
the door. The government which makes
the first practicaladvancet e toward cOncilia-
ton will win, the earlies, honGrs in the con-
troversy.'
The Daily News says that there is nothing
offcnsiyc c to Great Britain in the ins tructions
given TO the Venezuelan high commission.
II adds that since serious difficulty may
arise when the commission reports Lord
Salisbury might reasonably suggest 10 the
American government some method of ar
irving at honorable settlement. Why, It
asks, should not Lord Salisbury, 4 4 friend
ly act, without prejudice, place the whole
evidence in the colonial office at The dis
posal OF the commission?
