Floating in the Tk at the foot of Sixtieth street the tody of a woman was found yesterday. The body was almost headless and there , was no clothing. An attempt will be made Way to ascertain whother she drewned or was thrown into the water, after being murdered. The lack of clothing is believed to indicate murder. Two clean cuts were found directly nder the heart. These cuts, the police assert, could not have been made by the iee of anything other than a knife or some sharp instrument. A gash nine inches long was also found across the abdomen. A few wisps of blond hair were found on the back of the neck which aid in indentication. The body 'which was that of a woman weighing about 135 pounds had jirobab ry been in the water for two months. It is estimated that she was about five feet four inches in height and between 25 and 35 yearn old. The hands are mall and the musiclea soft 'which leads the police to believe that the woman was of the leisure class. , FRAKKF0RT, Ky, Jan. 21.-The climax of Bryan's isit to Frankfort was reached thia afternoon when he spoke to the Democratic members of the legislature behind closed doors, advocat ing the election of Beckham as United States Senator. Bryan said that neither Beckham nor anyone else invited him to Frankfort. He declared he had no fears for himself if he came to Ken tucky. "I am not afraid of hurting myself when the interests of the Democratic party are at stake," said Bryan. He said that he might or might not be a candidate for the Presidency this year. "If what I say here affects my chances of election, it is not a sufficient bribe to keep my mouth closed, and I 'am in the habit of saying what I think and letting every man in the world think of it as he pleases." Bryan -said he had come to support the Democratic nominee and if Mc Crecry were nominee he would be here to speak for him. He said he was here because he thinks the Democrats have a good chance winning this year, and whoever may be the Democratic standard-bearer, Bryan says he knows it take a Democratic Senate and House to back him up. He declared that all the popularity of the Republican President has come from the adoption of Demo cratic principles and reformj He said he could not depend on having a Demo cratic Senate as it takes an overwhelm ing victory to get that body, but may get the House and eeure enough votes in the Senate to secure Democratic re forms. "On vote of one Senator may rest his fate on Democratic reforms." CAN'T HOLD MEETING. DISTURBED CONDITIONS IN HAYTI. WiASIIEs'GTOX, Jan. 21.

FREIGHT RATES INCREASED. CHICAGO, Jan. 21 Just why Chicago, Minneapolis and Xorthwest merchants hould find their freight rates increased under variou pretest, while at the ame time, no change in rates was made in St. Louis to the merchants of the Southwest, occupied he attention of In terstate Commerce Commissioner Ptouty yesterday. The case, which is recorded' a that of Wyman, Partridge & Company, liinneapli. wholesale dry goods dealers, versus the Boston and .Maine. Xew York, New Haven A Hart ford, Pennsylvania, Lehigh Valley, and the Lackawanna with the lake shipping lines which they either own or control, received its initial bearing. At the end of the day Commissioner Prouty ad journed the hearing until March. The baia of the complaint which is being brought by llinnea polls and Chicago merchants, with the support of the commercial associations of both cities, rises out of the increase of the rail and water rates inaugurated in March and July of Iat year. The old freight rate for rail and water routes was 59 cents. In March all routes joined in increasing the rate to Chicago nd Minneapolis merchants to 01 cents and followed in July with another announced increase of 1 per cent. To mollify the shippers the companies announced that the rate would include marine insurance on all goods in transit. But while they made this concession to Chicago merchants as a basis of the extra three cents, they made the same concession to St. Louis merchants with no increase in the freight, rate. The hearing before the comtnissoner on the charge that discrimination to individ uals and as between localities was being nuule by the transportation companies resulted. MESSAGE ON TRUSTS.
