that time would ahow that the P ana ma
canal acheme was corrupt, and that
within a year or two light would be-
llirown upon it and tbe Republic would
tremble under the shock. That condi
tion exists to-day. There has been some
talk to ths effect that the Panama and
Nicaragua canal schemes are parallel,
and that the disas'er that haa overtaken
the French people will cause public men
in thia country to hesitate in giving their
votes to sanction a guirantes of Nicar
agua bonds, fearing that a scandal might
result. 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

this measure will pans iheSeiate, l ut of
