FROM WASHINGTON CITY.

Two years ago Senator Frye prophesied
that time would show that the Panama
canal scheme was corrupt, and that
within year or two light would be
thrown upon 1t and the Republic would
tremble under the shock. That condi.
ton exists to-day. There has been some
talk to the effect that the Panama and
Nicaragua canal schemes are parallel
and that the disaster that has overtaker
the French people will cause public men
In this country to hesitate In giving theii
votes TO sanction guarantee OF Nicar.

result. Mr.. Frye sees nothing of the
kind, and is emphatic in his declaration
to that effect. Said he: "There IL O

supervision over the Nicaragua cansl
and control all that is done there. There

In all the recently written matter

cratic platform go hand in hand.
The financial declarations supple
ment and strengthen the repeal Of
the ten por cent tax. The two
can be separated but they cannot
be substituted for each other. In
short, the consideration Of these
propositions shows anew the unity
and harmony Of the democratic
platform and the necessity for car
rying out all its pledges. There is
an interior and inherent harmony
in the document that is rarely seen
in aseries u party declarations.
The reform of the tariff viii prove
ineffective without financial legisla-
ton on the line of the platform.
Financial legislation will prove to
be a limping remedy unless the
tariff is readjusted in the interests
of the people. State banks Of
issue depend for their success on
bimetallism. The platform is
broad, but it has its limits. There
is no room on it for John Sher-

Water from the side hills ant
the Black Range collected in tn,

mighty torrents, uplifting power

But where the Iwater struck the
narrow walls of the lofty Box Can

pressed to a narrow span, is where
the scene Of awe-inspiring grand
enr presented itself. Far over the
poles Of electric wire the water
forced its way and fowls and small
animals, impelled by one consent,
seemed to have business away up
toward the top of the nearest
peak,
Passing through the box, the
narrow valley leads directly to
Hillsborough, two miles down.
The thunder of the water was
heard and women and children
were hastily conveyed to places of
safety on the upper side Of the
street. Neither man nor animals
were lost, and NO damage done
further than sweeping away loose
articles from about the yards and
streets and filling a few houses on
the lower side with mud and wa
ter.

eide whether they will ever appro-
pirate any more money for repair

A Sw ndler Pulled

About IL O'Clock last night, Mount
ed Officers Brown and Beck were
called out to q house on Laredo street,
kept by q notorious negro woman
named Agnes Thomas, who is seen
quite frequently in police court. AS
soon as they arrived, Agnes informed
the officers that a man named John
Mcqueen had visited her house and
had handed her q one cent piece,
telling her it was S. gold piece and
asking for change. AS soon as the
coin was handed over, Mcqueen ran
to the door, so she said, and made
known the fact that he had given her
cent. The officers searched for Nc
Queen and soon he was lodged In the
city prison, on the charge of swind-
ling. This morning the recorder
transferred the case to the justice
court and the justice refused To take
the affidavit, consequently Mcqueen
was released.
