PISS II CANAL BILL
Ilopburn's Nicarauguan Measuro Almost
Unanimously Adopted.
ONLY TWO VOrES AGAINST IT
Faction Favoring Fannma Itoute Join
Majority In Final Vote The Measure
Ooes Through In Original Form With
out Any Amendment.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. The Hep
burn canal bill passed the houso late
this afternoon by practically a unani
mous vote. Only two members out
of 310 voted against It. Messrs. Flet
cher (rep.) of Minnesota and Lassltcr
(dcm.) of Virginia were the two vot
ing In tho negative.
Tho opposition to committing tho
government to tho Nlacnniguan routo
attempted to secure amendments to
lodge with tho president tho dlserc
tlonary power to purchase and com
plcto tho Pannma canal, If It could
bo purchased for 110,000,000.
The test came on the first vote,
when the advocates of nn ulternatlvo
routo polled 102 against 170 votes. At
each succeeding voto their strength
dwindled until Mr. Cannon of Illinois,
under whose leadership the light was
mudo, wnB unablo to get tho ayes and
noes on a motion to recommit.
All other amendments failed and tho
bill passed exactly as It camo from
tho committee. Nono of tho votes,
except that on the final passage of the
bill, was a record vote.
Tho debato which preceded tho tak
ing of tho final voto was made mem-
orablo by n clush between Mr. Hap-
burn, tho author of tho bill, and Mr.
Cannon, chairman of tho appropria
tions committee. On soveral previous
occusIoiib they have measured swords
over canal legislation.
Two years ago n similar bill was
passed by a voto of 224 to 30.
Tho bill as passed today authorized
tho prcsldont to sccuro from tho stntes

Nicaragua, to a point on tho Pacific
occun near Brlto, and also to construct
proper harbors at tho termini of said
canal and to mnko necessary provi
sloiis for tho defense of tho canal and
harbors.
Sections 3 and 1 authorizo tho pres
ident to mnko such survoyB and to
employ such poisons In constructing
tho canal as to him may Boom iicccb
snry and directs that In tho conBtruc
tlon of tho canal the river San Juan

8CCti0n 5 authorizes tho president to
guarantee to tho states of Costa Rica
nnd Nicaragua tho uso of tho canal
and harbors upon terms to bo ngrocd

Btates und by cltlzenB thereof.
Tho last section makos u prcsont

GRAIN MEN WILLING TO TELL
Do Not Propose to lie Caught Napping
as 1'ncklnr lloase lien Were.
KANSAS CITY, Jan. 10. The Inter
state Commerco commission, whoso
members arrived on an early train
from Chicago, began Its Investigation
of castbound grain rates from Kansas
City. Tho Investigation In Kansas
City conducted by the commission last
summer was considered a fiasco, as all
those called denied having knowlcdgo
of Illegal rato cutting, but the pres
ent hearing Is taken moro seriously.
Before tho first testimony was taken
the forty or fifty shippers and freight
agents summoned were at sea as to
what to expect. This time the grain
men havo decided to tell all they
know about the situation nnd It Is be
lieved Hint the railroad officials will
also tell enough to absolve themselves
from further liability. Tho Investiga
tion will, It Is believed, be confined
to looking Into tho charge that freight
ratCB on grain and grain products
from western points to tho Atlantic
scabonrd are being cut in violation of
tho tariffs.

Takes Gloomy Viow of Financial and
v Economio Situation.
DIET AND RICIISTAG RECONVENE
Connt Ton Ilaelotr und Ilnron Von Thlel-
caann Address the Respective llo'dles
on Itrpressed Condition Matter
Foreign In (leneral.
BERLIN, Jan. 9. The speech from
tho throne, read by the Imperial chan
cellor, Count von Vuelow, at tho open
ing of the Prussian Diet today, took
a gloomy view of the economic situa
tion. It pointed out that the revenue
from tho stato railroads In 1901 fell
considerable short of the estimates and
that tho whole results of the financial
year wore disappointing.
In tho budget for 1902 the revenue
is cstlmntcd below that of the cur
rent year, but the balance between
tho revenue nnd tho expenditure Is to
bo maintained without having recourse
to a loan.
Tho speech announced plans for
legislation providing for the housing
of stato workmen and of officials
earning small salaries. Considerable
credits nro domanded for the exten
sion of tho state railroads and the
promotion and construction of light
railroads.
A now canal bill, to complete tho
Bystom of waterways, will be submit
ted. Tho concluding portion of Emperor
William's speech pointed to tho neces
sity of adpptlng measures against the
agitation in the Polish districts of
eastern Prussia, declared that the up
holding of the political and economic
position of the Gorman element there
was necessary for tho self-preservation
of Prussia, and promised thnt tho
government would fulfill its duty In
cultivating the Gcrmnn national spirit
In that roglon, in combatting with
firmness all tendencies hostile to the
stato. In this course the government
counted on tho support of the German
population of cast Prussia, as well as
on tho assistance of tho whole nation,
which regarded any attempt to drive
out tho German language as an at
tack on Its national honor nnd dignity.
Tho Reichstag reassembled today
after tho Christmas recess, with a
rather slim attendance, and the discus
sion of the estimates began. The
statement of the financial condition of
tho empire by Baron von Thlollmann,
secretary of stato for tho treasury,
was even moro pessimistic on the
subject of tho declining trade of Ger
many than wero his earlier utterances
In that connection.
"My former references," said Baron
von Thiellmann, "to the deterioration
of tho financial position, which were
regnrded In many quarters as pessi
mism, have been confirmed. Affairs
have become even more unfavorable
than wo are ablo to foresee, as owing
ttn Ah prnnnmlo. flntirpnnlnn thA vi
coipts have fallen off considerably and
tho Individual states of the empire are
no longer nble to bear their matrlcu
lar contributions. Especially Is this
so In tho case of tho small Thurlnglan
Btates."
