COMMERCE BADLY CRIPPLED.
The Venezuelan Troubles Seriously
Affect Mnrncaibo Trade.

The United States Consul at Maracaipo,
Venezuela. has informed the Department
of State that no disquieting news has
been received by him from the State of
Fachira, but that the situation on the
frontier of the Indian territory of La Goa
gira is very grave, and 1t is known that
large bodies of Colombian troops are
massing there.
Several small fights between them and
the Venezuelan troops have taken place,
and many of the wounded, the Consul
adds. have been taken to Sinamaica and
Maracaibo. Recruiting is going on daily.
Every horse and mule in the city of Mara
caibo has been taken for Government SER
vice.
The commerce of the region the Consul
adds, is crippled, the large mail steamers
have been retarded for days by not being
able to discharge or load cargoes, owing
to the fact that the laborers at the
wharves known as ''Gremio de Caieta''
have been made soldiers and sent to the
frontier.
The American steamer Julia, instead of
taking full load of coffee left in ballast.
the Consul declares, as 1t was not known
when she could be loaded. The Consul
further states that the street car lines in
Maracaibo have scarcely enough animals
left to run car once in two hours.

NJ Street northwest, yesterday morning at
7:30 o'clock will take place from st. Ste
phen's Church. Twenty NTH Street and
Pennsylvania Avenue next Monday morn

decided upon, as Father Caughy, of st.
Stephens Church, who, in connection with
Mother Katherine Drexel. has the funeral
arrangements in charge. has not yet re-
turned from Baltimore, where he went to
consult with the Cardinal regarding the
matter. 1t is expected that Cardinal Glib
bons Archbishop Ryan, of Philadelphia,
Archbishop Corrigan, of New York, and
other prelates of the Roman Catholic
Church, will be present at the solemn re-
QUEEN mass, at which probably Father
Caughy will be the celebrant. The inter-
ment will take place in the cemetery of

MonsiSnor Stephan only n short time
ago returned from a trip to Europe
; where ne went In search of health. On
his return he contracted a cold. which
turned into pneumonia, resulting in his
death. He had been sick for only a little
over week
Monsignor Stephan was appointed direc-
tor of the Indian mission by Cardinal
Gibbons IN 1884 and devoted all his time
and energy In building 1t up. He was emf
nently successful in the work, as is at
tested by the fact that during this brief
period he secured for the maintenance and
support of the mission between $1,000. 900
and Sj.0G0.000 from Government and pri-
vate sources. He was greatly beloved by
the Indians. and his death will be mourn
ed by them.
Monsignor Stephan was born in Baden,
Germany, seVenty-nine years ago. He was
educated at Karlsruhe and Frieburg. In
lSi7 he was summoned to this country by
the illness of his father but did not arrive
until after the latter's burial He re-
mained here. and completed his theolog-
ical studies in Cincinnati MonSignor Ste
phan served throughout the civil war as
chaplain in the forces of General Sheri-
dan. He was one of the promoters of the
Catholic missionary work among the In
dams, and at the time when he frst be-
came connected with that work there
were but eleven schools. He has lived
in this city for the past seventeen years.
