No Danger that the Bill VIII Be Passed by

WASHINGTON, March 3.-There need be no fear
entertained that Captain Eads's Tehuantepec

There is fierce opposition to it on the part of
large majority in both branches of Congress.
Should this sentiment be changed it would at
once excite suspicion that would be disastrous
to the project
Nearly all members of both branches OF Con-
gress gave utterances of surprise when it was
announced that a majority of the House COM
mittee On commerce had recommended the bill.

projectors say there is no likelihood of def
cheney, but they ask for this much of a guaran-
tee in the event there has been miscalculation
as to the volume of business the railway will do.
This is not a canal, as many people believe.
but is a railroad that, it is proposed shall span
our southern sthmus, connecting the two oceans,
and which shall be strong enough to haul ships
weighing at least 1000 tons, taking them out OF
the ocean, putting them cars like circus,
and when hauled across the isthmus to the other
ocean dumping them into to water to continue
the journey, saving IL, 900 of is, 600 miles.

Interesting Gossip About His Application
for Office and His Betrayal.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March 3.--As soon as 1t was
announced here to-day that Joseph Frick the
wellknown Evansville architect had dropped
dead at his home, yesterday, there was started
some gossip about the efforts of the deceased to
obtain Office here and the probable cause of his
death, which is interesting. Frick was Swiss,
was educated in Europe, and, as an architect and
builder, was widely known. having designed
some of the finest buildings in Indiana Last
summer he came here, upon statements of cer-
tain men on the delegation to Congress from that
State. promising him position. Hewas assured
by the Democrats of the delegation that he
would be given good place, and he waited and
waited for months. Finally he was given
temporary position, running around inspecting
materials for government buildings in course
Of construction. 1t was far below what he an
-ticipated, yet he took it, with assurance from q
dozen ofsthe most prominent Hoosier Democrats
that he should have something very good very
soon. Although these assurances were profuse,
Mr.. Frick finally became discouraged and went
home Before leaving. however, he was re-
peatedly assured that he would soon be recalled
to take an appointment worthy of his abilities.
Not hearing anything from his supposed spon-
sors, Frick wrote letter to a friend here, q few
days ago, asking him to ascertain the truth
about his chances for appointments The letter
bristled with disappointment and showed intense
detection. The friend made inquiry and learned
that nothing had been done toward securing a
place for Frick; that in fact, he had not been
recommended for an appointment anywhere; he
had been betrayed and misled. The friend hesi-

Charged with "Doctoring" Barley.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, March 3-For some time
past detectives have been engaged in working up
case on Washington county parties for doc

the arrest of Anton Rosenheimer. Moritz Rosen-

vator at Kewaskum, in Washington~county to-

At the time the arrests were made it is stated

barley was in active operation. The defend
ants were bound over and their cases set for ex-
animation at West Bend, next Thursday. The
prosecution will be backed by syndicate of
Milwaukee brewers, masters and Board of
Trade members, who have in the past suffered
severely from this doctored barley. The PEN
atty for fumigating or selling fumigated barley
in this State is fine of $50 or one months i'm

stubbornly fought on both sides. So cleverly
was the doctoring done that it is said even ex-
perts could not discover any difference between
the doctored grain and the bona fide article 1t
was only when it was put in the malt-house that
the deception could be discovered. Then the
bleached grain showed up lifeless as so much
chaff, the germ having been killed by the Doctor

be incalcuable. 1t finally became so great as
to lead to concerted action being taken. with the

Mexico was found in port with only her passen-
gers, thirty in number, the captain and one of

had protested against her proceeding to sea with
the passengers asserting that they composed an
organized band under the direction of one of
their number Del Gardo, as chief. and that
they were in waiting to receive arms and ammu
milton from the American steamer Neptune
preparatory to landing on the island Of Rua-
tan; that the vessel, iustead of sailing
q peaceable voyage, for which they had enlisted
was under the control of the said Del Gardo. and
that the captain was implicated in tie irregu-
larities; that they demanded satisfactory
guaranty for their lives, which they claimed had
been threatened by the passengers, who were to
some extent armed. or that the passengers should
be removed from the ship Under their demands
the consular agent had removed the crew to the
authorities had owing to reports that the pas
sengers had been refused landing at the ports
of Belize, Honduras. Bluefelds and Coorn Island,
in Colombia, declined to permit their coming
on shore The consular agent had examined the
crew and captain under oath. Having read the
testimony and taken part in the proceedings,
Commander Chester was convinced that the
grave charges preferred by the consul were we'll
founded, and determined to seize the vessel
Before doing so he was assured by the prefect of
the port and the judge of the district that such
action was in accordance with international law
and treaty stipulations On board the steamer
were two steam launches.
