NICAKAGuA CANAL.
Representative Bryan Devises Now
Plan for Building.

Representative Bryan Devises New
Plan for Building.
WASHINGTON. May l6.-A plan for the
completion of the Nicaragua canal by
this government, by a new system Of
financiering. WAS introduced in the
house today by the author, Representa-
tive Bryan of Nebraska. While some
features OF Senator Morgan's product are
repeated, great innovation is brought
forward by provisions intended to in
crease the circulation medium OF the
country by paying for the stock of the
canal company by an issue of legal
tender notes modelled after the green
backs of 1862.
The plan is designed so as to meet
favor from the anti-b0nd men. Accord
ing to the bill, the stock of the canal
company is to consist OF 1000, 900 shares
of 500 each, for which legal United
States notes, identical in character to
those issued under the act of February,
1862, are to be issued, redeemable to the
same extent and ia the same manner as
those of 1862.
The secretary of the treasury is to
purchase 10000, 900 of the stock of the
company, and pay for it at par by the
issue of the notes described, which are
to be kept in circulation as a part OF the
currency OF the country. Six million
dollars of the capital stock is to be is
sued to the government of Nicaragua,
$500, 900 to Costa Rics, and the remain
ing 1900, 900 ia to be held in the treas
ury until the government decides
whether to purchase it or permit it to be
sold by subscription, except an amount
not to exceed s7,000,00 to be used by
the company in taxing up it's outstand-
ing stock. Provision is made for an i'm
mediate issue of $4,000, 900 as a working
capital, and the issue OF the remainder
in quarterly installments as may be
necessary to carry on the work of con-
structicn.

bill. has asked full investigation at the
hands OF the senate on the charges made
against him. Major Buttz called on
Senator Hsnsbrough OF North Dakota
late this evening and asked for advice as
to what he would better do. He made
a general denial OF the charges made
against him, and said he wanted
a rigid investigation of them. He
was not willing TO rest on
thu possibility of the passage OF the
Lodge resolution calling for an investi-
CATION OF the bribery alleged and OF the
influence of the sugar trust upon the
makeup of the tariff, but told the sen-
ator he wanted personal investigation
as speedily as possible. He said he had
both reputation and interests which
were suffering, and he wished to have q
chance to clear himself. In his inter-
yiewsYith the senator the details OF the
bribery charges were not gone over, but
Major Buttz's denial was emphatic and
absolute. Mr.. Hansbrough finally adj
yieed the ex-eongressman to write him
letter asking for a personal investiga-
ton, and agreed to place it before the
senate. This Major Buttz agreed to do.
Senator Hansbrough expects to receive
the letter and presen. it in the senate
tomorrow,

WRITTEN In CIPHER.
A LETTER FOR MURDERER FRED
BRICKS.
IL Tells tho Desperate How to Regain
Hi1 Liberty Some Friend to
Furnish Dynamite
Cap.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 16.-On Monday
last a postal card, strangely written in
cipher and addressed to William Freder-
ricks, the assassin of Bank Cashier Her
rick, now under sentence of death, was
received at the county Jail. The name
signed was Jack Rose, who is esid to be
a desperate character of Butte, Mont,
whence the postal came.
A ready solution of the hieroglyphics
has been pr offered by Frank Sherwood,
o stenographer in the employ of the
Travellers Insurance company. He
shows that the firstwritten line on the
postal card is the key to the whole, as
the character Immediately below
each letter of the written phrase
represents that particular letter in
the cipher. Not only this, but "Jack
Rose" has taken care to indicate each
separate word by curved line, like
phrase or slur mark in music. Mr..
Sherwood's translation of the card is as
follows:
DEAR FRIEND Get dynamite cap
and have some friend supply powder or
cap and match. Offer bride of $4,000
to sheriff. Will be shot if he proves no
good"
1t is not unlikely that some one is
amusing himself by sending the postal
card, expecting that it would be made
public and that these people might do
as Mr.. Sherwood has done-exercise
their skill in solving its meaning.

MOVE FOR 10 O'CLOCK SESSIONS,
Tariff Debate Proceeding Too
Slowly.
Democrats VIII Endeayor to Extend
the Hours.
Another Fruttiess Conference Of tho Re
publican Senators - Western
Members Refuse to
Filibustsr.

By the Associated Prass.
WASHINGTON, May 16.-The Demo-
cratic leaders in the senate decided to.
day to call up Senator Hsrris's resolu-
ton for 10 O'Clock sessions after tomor-
row. They have reached the conclusion
that the tariff bill is not making salts
factory progress. and think the time has
come when they should extend the
hours. The resolution is likely to lead
to a spirited debate when called up.
Senator Allison presided over con-
ference of Republican senators at the
capitol today, about two-thirds OF the
membership being present. 1t was
continuation of the discussion which
occurred at Senator Shermsn's hous Q
on Mon day night.
Sen ator Dubois announced his inten-
ton OF publicly declaring in favor OF
speedy action. and when several sem
ators took issue with him be said his
judgment relative to the effect OF the
silver repeal was as good as theirs last
fRli and he intended to follow it.
The conference broke up without any
action being agreed upon, but those sen.
atore who believe in early action seemed
to be in such large majority that they
felt the policy would now be to consider
the bill with view OF engaging only
legitimate discussions OF the various
schedules.
Senator Chandler advanced the sug-
gestion that the debate would consume
from 30 to go days on whatever lines it
might be conducted, and said that as
that was the case there was no necessity
for resolving upon any particular course
at present. He also urged that there
was no question of filibustering for the
Republican conference to consider, as
there were no senators who desired to
engage In flibustering.
