War Measures Not Checked.

WASHINGTON, Dec. H.-Semi-official adj
vices received here indicate that active
hostilities are about to begin between Co.
lombia and Venezuela. The delay in pro-
ceeding to extremes has been largely
caused by the lack of a suitable stock Of
arms and ammunition by the Colombian
government. This is about to be remedied.
The news that comes to-day is to the effect
that the British steamer Ia Righ, which
recently occasioned suspicion by loading a
large cargo of arms in European waters
supposedly intended for the Beers in South
Africa, really was chartered by the COlom-
bian government. She is now very near
Colon, and adviceS are TO the effect that
when her cargo is distributed among the
Colombian troops hOstilities will begin be-
tween Colombia and Venezuela.

and State Policy.

PARIS, Dec. lin the Chamber Of
Deputies this afternoon the premier. NJ.
Waldeck-Rousseau, urged the House to
re-establish the public worship estimates
which were suppressed by the budget COM
mittee. He pointed out the advantages of
the maintenance of the cOncordat which
gave the state authority over the clergy,
and said a denunciation of the cOncordat
would lead TO the creation Of a hierarchy,
of which the head would be at Rome. u
tramontaism would be no longer a doctrine.
but a fact, and a spiritual chief would be
created in France in addition TO the tenn
poral chief. Moreover, the proposition Of
the denunciation of the concordat had
never once found a majority in the Cham
Der. and he (the premier) did not believe il
existed now. The premier's remarks were
greeted with cheers.
BY a vote OF $50 to Isl the Chamber sub
seduently decided 10 discuss the details Of
the public worship bill. This is a victory
for the government. since Ii rejects the
commissions plan to abolish the public
worship estimates from the budget.

Does Not Believe Her Dead.

NEW YORK, Dec. ia dispatch sent by
the Rev. Robert Thompson, director of the
American Institute, to the Journal and
Advertiser, dated at Samakov, Bulgaria,
says:
Every missionary, male and female, in
Bulgaria and Turkey is working ~strenuou
ly for the release of Miss Stone. We want
Miss Stone saved and our missions unsac-
rificed. l refuse 10 accept the death theory.
There is not a shred of evidence favoring
it. 1t is quite likely that Miss Stone and
her captors have gone into comfortable
winter quarters. Miss Stone is energetic,
versatile and resourceful, and she has
doubtless succeeded in making friends of
the brigands."

AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVES.
why They Were Ordered for the Bur-
mese Railway Service.

LONDON, Dec. 17.-Presiding this after
moor at a meeting of the Burmah Rail-
way Company, Sir Auckland Colvin, the
chairman, referred to the purchase OF
twenty American locomotives by the com
pany. He said the board had been guided
by the fact that the Americans were able
to promise delivery within two or three
months of the date of the order, while the
English manufacturers could not do better
than twelve to seventeen months. The
price of the American locomotives was Y
per cent. lower than that of the English
engines.
1t was premature to express a decided
opinion in the respective merits of English
and American engines. The consulting en-
gineers had recommended American en-
gines as suitable, and thus far the loco
motive superintendent said they Were, gen
orally speaking, up to the required stand
