WAsHINoToS, Dec. N.-Two years Aso
Senator Frye prophesied that time w.nld
show that the Panama canal scheme 9as
corrupt and that within . year os two
light would be thrown upon Il and the fate
Of the republic would trembls under Ne
shock. That condition exists to-day.
There has been some talk to the effect
that the Panama and Nicaragua canal
schemes arc parallel, and that the disas-
ter that has overtakeu the French people
will cause public men In this country 10
hesitate In giving their votes to sanction
the guarantee of the Nicaragua bonds,
fearing that scandal might result. Mr..
Frye sees nothing OF the kind, and is en-
phatic In his declaration to that effect.
Said he: "There are very good reasons 10
advance why this government should ex-
ercise supervision over the Nicaraeua
canal, and control all that thers 10 done
there. and there 10 no reason why any
legislator should he afraid to cast bis
ballot for bill which has this end in view.
belicvc this measure will pass the senate,
but Of course such prediction cannot b
made as to the house. II can hardly b
supposed that the bill will meet with favor
there, inasmuch as II contemplates an ex.
penditure Of public money, and such ex-
penditurcs arc opposed on that side Of the
capitol"

The line and plat of definite location from the

This completes the line so far as contracts have
been let, none having been taken farther west

ginning at the eastern end of Gritiins. and viii

Trying to Down Westinghouse.

PITrsBURG, Feb 26.-There will be another
fight to secure control OF the Union Switch aud
Signal Company at the coming annual meeting
OF the stockholders in March. A year ago Bos-
ton interests succeeded in overthrowing the
Westinghouse regime, and this year the latter
will make an effort to regain their lost power.
Circulars asking for proxies have been issued
by the Boston stockholders, in which sum-
mary is given OF the management during the
past twelve months. 1t claims that since the
new administration took hold the floating inter-
est-besring Indebtedness has been reduced
from $4,000 to slSi,700; the annual
fixed salary charges reduced to $4,000
and the open accounts payable to $4,000;
that the common stock has been in
creased nearly 800 per cent and the preferred
stock 200 per cent. Contracts for the first six
weeks of 1892 aggregate within 100000 of the
total business OF 1891 Westinghouse is in New
York, but his private secretary, in commenting
upon the circular, said it was on par with all
the efforts of the management TO belittle West
inghouse and his connection with the company.
The notes of the company bear his Endorsement
ald are carried with his collateral. The con-
tracts were secured through Messrs. Westing-
house and Pitcairn, and while the circular gives
the impression that the net earnings are about
sSl2,010, matter of fact they about $685. 600.
lie said that Westinghouse already had proxies
for more than half OF the entire capital stock
and was not worrying.

Tacoma Railroad News.

TACOMA, Feb. Especial IAN official OF the
Northern Pacific says the thing to do at Seattle
is TO build a nnion depot and allow all the rail
roads TO enter the city on an equal footing. He
was surprised, however, that the board of alder
men of Seattle should pass an ordinance which
would cut down the prospective rights OF the
Great Northern.
MI Lewis. who was assaulted last night by a
waiter, is not now connected with the Tacoma
Railway and Motor Company.
1.-The only way that the Great Northern can get
its right-of-way through the property of the
Northern Pacific and Union Pacific at Spokane
without ruinous cost" remarked a railroad man
today, sis by granting 10 the companies already
represented there trackage facilities. The Great
Northern will control the entire business dis
trict on the river front sixty feet wide, and the
other roads will not allow it to get in on such
basis without mutual traekage facilities. OF
course, the Great Northern would win in the
long run, bat it wants its route completed in a
hurry aud cannot suffer delay which legal
spsFring would occasion"

THE FRANKLIN FIND.
Remains Believed to Belong to
a Murdered Negro.
MAY HAVE BEEN KILLED IN RIOT.
Evidence That Remains Are Those of
Tall Negro and That He Was
Killed Last Summer.

It has been pretty clearly established that the
fragment of human body found at franklin
were those OF n negro. and the belief prevails at
Franklin that the man Of whose body they form
a part killed in the fight between the
negroes and the strikers on June Is, 1891, and
that the body was then cut to pieces and con-
ceaied in the woods in the neighborhood.
The remains were found by boy named
Llewellyn, guided by the instinct of his dog,
and he left them by the roadside while he in
formed Justice of the Peace Todd. When the
latter reached the spot, the hand, which had
been cut of at the wrist, had disappeared Mr.
Todd made further search in the
brush around the spot, aud found
pice OF newspaper about O foot square,
on which was printed an account OF the fight
between Slavin and kilrain, which took place
on June l6, 1891. This paper was stained with
matter which resemblei the decomposed flesh
OF the human remains, and from this fact 1t is
inferred that the hand had been wrapped in it.
The date of the paper would indicate that the
hand was wrapped in it during the latter part of
June, and this point is quoted in support of the
theory that the man was killed in the fight of
June IS
The hand which has an arm to it has a piece
of skin on the back and one nail still remains
Decomposition has gone too far to make the
skin any safe guide as to the race of the dead
man, but the appearance of the nail is the basis
of the belief that he was negro. 1t has been
observed that negroes and persons with negro
blood in their veins have no white
crescent at the root of the nail, while all white
people have. Unlike the flesh, the nail OF the
dead hand is in a comparatively good state of
preservation, and it has no white crescent in it.
The remains are evidently those of man over
feet in height.
1t would have been quite easy for a negro to
have been killed at franklin and his body
concealed without his being missed. During
several months after the negro miners arrived
from the East the camp was the Mecca toward
which all the floating negro population of
Washington travelled Strangers were con-
stantly coming and going, and the disappear
ance of one of these foaters from lodging
house caused no excitement, for it was daily
occurrence.
While this is the only plausible theory, it
rests on many slender threads of evidence
that further investigation may entirely destroy
it. Justice Todd, who has had considerable ex-
perience as detective, is prosecuting vigorous
search for the other parts OF the body, and is
following up every possible clue which may es-
tablish their identity and reveal the secret of
the mans death. Assistant Prosecuting Attor-
ney Mcbride has examined the remains, and
unless the rest OF the body should be found in
day or two Coroner Horton will hold an inquest
on the parts found.
