NlCARAGUAN CANAL.
Investigation of the Problem Began
nv the House COMMITTEES.


BY the House Committee.
WASHINGTON. March 27.-The in
vestigation of the Nicaragua canal
problem by the house committee on
commerce was begun today by the ap-
pearance of Hon. Warner Miller of
New York, the president of the canal
company There was full attendance
of the members of the committee and
other interested parties.
Mr.. Miller declared that he had not
come for the purpose of recommending
the Mahon bill, which had been adopted
by the subcommittee, nor he had not
even read the bill. He described at
some length the history of the work
on the canal, treating of the physical
conditions in Nicaragua and many
other details.
Mr. Millers idea was that the gov
eminent should guarantee bonds to
the amount of 100000, 900 at per cent,
which would necessitate an annual ex-
penditure of 100000 for interest
About 81 900. 900 a year would be needed
for maintenance and Improvement
above the cost of maintaining the ca
nal, the remainder of the receipts
would be put into a sinking fund for
paying off the bonded debt. The gov
eminent, he declared, could pay moth
ing for the canal under this arrange

the most efficient officers of the United
States secret service. He has been in
Salt Lake and was quite we'll known
there. Still it is quite certain he was
NOT in Salt Lake at the time of the
shipment of the body for he was in
Chicago during the Worlds fair
The man whose body was found
packed in the box was murdered. This
was settled definitely this afternoon
when the coroner's physicians held a
pest mortem examination on the body
at the county morgue. Two large holes
had been made in the skull and either
would have killed the man.
The post norton proved that the
body was that of a man five feet six
inches high, weighing about las pounds.
Judging from the bones the body was
that of young man about 80 or 80
years of age. There were two scalp
wounds on the back and left side of
the head. Under these scalp wounds
were two skull fractures, the one on
the back being round, one inch across;
the one on the left was one-fourth by
one inch The bones in these places
had been driven into the brain. The
teeth were all sound and all present.
The hair on the head was medium
lUng, straight and dark between. There
vas no beard or moustache. The in
ternal organs were all in a healthy
condition. Around the body was a truss
made as if in use for rupture. The
only cause for death found were the
skull fractures.
The police are now endeaVor1ng to
find the expressman who called at 166

Matt. Rhodes, Theory Confirmed.

CHICAGO, March 27.-Henry Devere
and Bias Marcel appeared at the Armory
police station tonight and said they
believed the body in the Wakem and
Mclaughlin box is that of Joanes
Prosper Chazal, who disappeared from
Salt Lake city on February Is, 1893
They have seen the body and feel
reasonably certain it is that of Chazel
who lived with a. woman named Miss
Rolande. on Franklin avenue, Salt
Lake city. UP to February, 1898, at
what number the Frenchmen do not
remember. Chazal lived with Miss
Rolande as his wife, and the men who
called at the police station tonight
said she is now in Paris, France, where
she went in the hope that she would
be able to find some way to clear up
the disappearance of Chazal.
Devere and Marcel both believe
Chazal was murdered. and that the
motive therefor was robbery, as the
latter was quite well off and carried
jewelry.
1t is said that as much as two or
three thousand dollars worth was in
his possession just before he disap-
peared. The men said also that the
police in Paris have been notified of
the disappearance of Chazal, and have
for some time been working on the
case at the instigation of Miss Rolande,
who is now living on the Rue d Char
tres in Paris.

The canal company never had taken
any part in legislation. never had ad-
vocated any plan for government con-
troll, and never had appeared before
congressional committees except when
called upon. The company had +elt
that it had grievance against the
government, because after the intro
ductfon of the senate bill it had been
impossible to raise any money. Amer
lean capitalists had said that the gov
eminent should take charge of the
enterprise and foreign houses had
feared that after a few years the gov
eminent would take possession and
return them only the money invested,
with no profits. In reply to question
Mr.. Miller said that he had no doubt
of the ability of the company to raise
the necessary funds, notwithstanding
the financial condition of the world,
but the interposition of the govern
ment. Mr.. Miller dealt with the report
of the commission sent to the lsthmus
last summer, at length. 1t had been
we'll understood, he declared. that the
commission had been appointed by the
opponents of the canal for delay. He
criticized the engineering attachments
of the commission and said that with
the money at their command they had
been unable to inspect the country
sufficiently. The impression that the
committees report was unfavoraoie TO
the project, he asserted, was incorrect
Speaking of the Pacific coast Miller
said it had been expected that a great
population would settle there. He as
sured the committee that vouchers Tor
all expenditures made by the company
would be placed at the disposal OF any
committee or commission, and said
they included no expenses for int1u-
encfng legislation. The company felt
that the time had come when the gov
eminent either should take the WORK
or give notice to the world that it in
tended to do nothing. so that the pro
moters would have a clear field TO
work with other governments or capt
talists. If congress decided TO drop
turn to the American people to invest
in the company, and if that appeal
failed, he would turn the work over to
someone else.

NEW YORK, March 27.-The Herald
this morning says locally: No word has
been received by the Cuban junta in
this city relative to a report recently
circulated to- the effect that the Ber-
muda had been fired upon and sunk
by British warship, and the Cubans
generally discredited the rumor
Several prominent leaders who were
discussing the Garcia expedition ex-
pressed their fears that the report of
the arrival of the Bermuda was mis-
take. They thought the expedition
which landed was another and smaller
one than that which sailed in the Ber-
muda
One of the men who organized the
expedition said: We have received as
yet no confirmation of the Bermuda'S
landing in Cuba, nor can we reason
ably expect it until her captain reaches
some port away from the island, King
ston, Jamaica, for instance, or Vera
Cruz, Mexico, from which she can
cable direct to us. 1t may be some
days yet before positive information
reaches us. but in the meantime it is
hard for US to believe that she has
landed on the north side of the island.

Closing Scenes of Republican

CHICAGO, March ga special to the

The convention of the third congress

The factional fight among Kanawaha
county Republicans eliminated in the
shedding of blood. Eugene Dana was the
only candidate that Kanawha presented.
T. e. Houston of Mcdowell, John Craw-
ford of Fayette, ]. P. Miller Upshur and
Thomas Cooper of Mercur were the
other candidates placed in nomination.
When the roll was called Kanawha was
not ready to vote. The votes recorded
without kanawha were about equally di-
vided between Dana, Houston and Craw
ford. The Kanawha delegation was en-
gagged in a row and was unable to poll
the vote. Bill Gosshorn went among them
to do some missionary work for Dana.
l.. E. McWhorter attempted to forcibly
eject him, when GoShOTn struck Me-
Whoter and they went al each other to
batter each others faces. Others were
drawn into the fracas and a pitched
battle enSued, which was witnessed by
the delegates standing upon seats and
ia bleS. The chairman raped and yelled
for order. The three sergeant-at-arms
were powerless. Finally the city police
were called in and they succeeded in
stopping the fight. At this 1uncture Bill
Goshorn with lacerated and bleeding
face and neck made his way to the
clerks desk, accompanied by ODE Petty,
and cast % votes for Dana, q for Craw-
ford, and % for Houston. The president
attenpted to declare Crawford and HouS-
ton elected. but the Dana men disputed
the count and a pugilistic encounter over

LONDON, March 27.-In the libel
suit brought by Mrs. Arthur Kitson
against DR.. William Playfair, a YER
diet was rendered today in favor of the
plaintiff. awarding her $4,000 damages.
The verdict was greeted with loud
cheers. The plaintiff tainted. The
case involved the right of an attending
physician to disclose any secret re-
vealed in professional confidence to
him. The doctor, it appears, made a
statement to his wife about Mrs Kit
son, the brother of Arthur Kitson, with
the result that Sir James, who is
millionaire, withdrew an allowance of
$4,000 which he was making to Mrs
Kitson after her separation from his
brother. Mrs. Playfair is a sister of
Sir James and Arthur Kitson.
