Mr. Frye aeea nothing of the kind, and is emphatic in his declaration to that effect. Said be : "There is a very good reason to advance, which ia that the government should exeroire supervision over the Nicaragua can I and control all that la done there. There ia no reason why any legislator should be afraid to cast bis 11 lot lor a bl which has this end in view I believe this measure will pans iheSeiate, l ut of course such s prediction cannot be made as to the House.
