HEPBURN'S BILL IS AMENDED \lcaniKiin Cannl JHciiHiire C'liniiRed in Make Only 1 > n Million Dollum Available for 1'retient lino. WASHINGTON. Jan. 2G. The house com mittee on Interstate and' foreign commer'co today reconsidered the Nicaragua canal bill , which had been reported with nn appropria tion of $140,000,000 , and changed the ap propriation section so as to make $10,000- 000'available with ; authority to contract for tho. entire excavation , construction , defense and completion of'tho canal at a total cost not exceeding $140',000,000. Before thlo action was taken Chairman Hepburn ot tbo committee stated that as all the members of the committee were anxious for thc success of the bill. It was well to consider some nl-jectlons which had been raised. Ho had Tieard several objec tions on the ground that the whole $140- 000,000 was appropriated now , but would sup port It If cnly a portion was made available at once to begin the work. Corliss of Michigan thereupon offered the now section , which was adopted , Fletcher of Minnesota nsked : "When you got that canal balr built for $140,000,000 , what will you do for the ptJicr half ? " Corliss answered that the highest esti mate of cost thus far was $133000,000. ; Hop- lunrn added that In the raionde-d fonn the bill simply applied the csntract system and limited the asgicgato to $140,000,000. In tlKt amended form 'the ' bill was ordered reported. The Pacific cable question was then taken up and General Wager Snnyne of New York spoke In favor of private construction and operation of the cable line as against govern ment ownership.

Secrclary Hay has sent to Speaker Henderson for submis sion to the house coplcfi of complaints of the German government presented by its ambas sador horc. Dr. von -Hollrben , against the existing custom * iPKUlallona nf thc United States applicable to merchandise i'liporteJ from Germany. , . Those complaints , as summarized by Mr. Hay , arc aa follows : First , that th6 regulations governing the authentication of Invoices by the consular officers of thor United States , confer upsn ! them the powerof obtaining from thc shlp- ! per.s such Information as might bo used to | the detriment of th'o German tradIf dis closed to American cotnpetltors. and that In any event the letalls which may be inquired Into by the consul constitute a hindrance to the speedy transaction of this business and a cause of molestation. Second , that In the American ports of ar rival the consular certificates are merely ex amined with regard to their form , while the market value of the goods Is finally doclde.l by the American , customs appraisers , with out regard to the Invoice statement. Third , that owing to the mode of procedure of the appraisers It Is hardly possible to provo the correctness of thc declarations In the servlc9 , becatiko .their decisions .aro ren dered on _ thc strength of "assertions and facta which nevercome to the knowledge of the exporters. < ' ' Secretary of the Treasury Gage , In a letter reviewing the ambassador's compla'ntu , states that the existing consular and cus toms regulations cannot be mollified without departure from the law of IStiO and that such regulations "are equally applicable to ship ments from any foreign country and do not discriminate against or in favor of any par ticular foreign market. " Gage suggests that congress deal with the matter. Ambassador von Hollebcn's letter speci fies that the system Is highly calculated to Injure the German export trade and In some cases lead to an entire disclosure of the conditions of production and the business secrets of German Industry. In conclusion he asks Secretary Hay "to glvo to the complaints of my goTCrnment the kind consideration demanded by the friendly relations existing between the two coun tries.

The greater por- tloii of the session of the house today was devoted to eulogies upon the life and public services of the late Vice President Hobart. The tributes paid to his memory were not the usual perfunctory eulogies , but br--.itiicd the love and admiration and respest in which ho wus universally held. Those who epuke were : Messrs. Gardner , Stewart , Parker , Fowler and Daly of New Jersey ; Dalllver and Cciisins of Iowa , Payne ot New York , Dalze'.l and Broslus of Pennsylvania , JMch- ardson of Tennessee and Grlggs of Georgia.

Mahcn explained that the govs-ument took tin ; po&iiion that It was nbt llatlu 'or Irsa due to the Interruption of the cable , but only for the actual expenses of repairing the cable. Ray of New York said the attorney gen eral had reported that the company had no claim for indemnity. There were thou sands of claims pending and he thought it would establish a dangerous precedent to pay one which the attorney general had re ported against. Hill of Illinois , chairman of the foreign affairs committee , thought the bill should be amended so as to state specifically that the claim was an act of grace. Ray pointed out that since the American occupation of thc Philippines the cable com pany had done more business In a single year than It would have done In twenty had the war not occurred , no thought there was up equity In the claim , Moody of Massachusetts argued that the low of nations was well settled that prop erty of neutrals within the theater of war operations bad to take its chances. He ollnJ the case of the American fisherman whose claims had been disputed and held up by Great Britain , and declared that before we paid citizens of Great Britain indemnity as nn act of grace England should bo compelled to pay what was duo our own people. No action was taken on the bill and at 2 o'clock the houfio suspended public business to listen to tributes to the memory of the late Vice President Hobart. WiixliliiKtiin Hrlefn.

In the match shoot between the gun clul teams of Omaha and Kansas City , which began Friday morning , the local team took the lead In the contest from the nlart and continued In the lead throughout the day. When the first day's shoot came to an etui In the aflernomt the Omaha men led by slv birds , and It In hardly within the range ol possibilities that the visitors will be able tc overcome this lead dtirng the remainder ol the shoot. Interest lu the shoot was by no means conflne.l to the participants. The grounds ol the Omaha dun club across the river were thronged by n largo crowd of spectators when the match began la the morning and In terest did not Hag at all during the day. The match la for fifty llvo birds to the man and1 each team Is composed of ten men. Shooting proceeded In pairs a Kan sas City man alternating with an Omaha 'shooter. The first pair consisted of Herman j of Kansas City and Klmball of Omaha. From the time the first gun was fired until the conclusion of the day's sport the weather was all that could bo desired. There wag not a particle of wind stirring mid the at mosphere was as clear as could be wished for. It was just cold enough to arouse the energy of the contestants to the utmost , Coupled w\th \ the perfect condition of the weather was the superior class of birds. They needed no urging to set thrai off from the traps and furnished numerous oppor tunities for excellent shooting. C. I ) . Iln- dorman of Adanin , Neb. , Captain A. W. Money and W. F. Qulmby of Nc\y York , alternately officiated as referees. ( ! . I' . Kastman of Conccrdla , Kan. , acted as puller , and James Whltficld of Kansas City and Paul Lltzko of Llttlo Uock were the official scorers. C. C. Herman of Kansas City .fired the Initial shot and brought his bird to the ground with the first barrel. Throughout the contest , however , the second barrel was , In most Instances , employed. At the end of the first ralr Omaha led the score by OHO bird. This lead was increased to three at the conclusion of the second pair. In the third Driimhall and "Orant" Klmball tied , each scoring 41. Smead increased the lead to six In his shoot with Kclley and lu thti remaining two Stockwell and Hnrdln tied on 18 and Cockrill and Read tied onII ! . At the finish of the first day thc score was 271 for Omaha against 205 for Kansas City. Out of a total of CCO birds siiot at 53G were killed , giving each-man an average of about 90 per cent. Onuiliii Men .Iiilillatit. Omaha shooters were more than jubilant over the outcome of the first day's shoot. They consider It altogether Improbable that the lend they havs gained can be overcome and nothing but an unlocked for streak of Ill-luck to thc remaining Omaha shooters and an opposite run of good luck for thc visitors can cause the defeat of the locals. Desplto this fact Captain Walden of the Kansas City team confidently asserted last night that his team would bo victorious lit the' contest. "Wo have our best shooters reserved until the second day , " he said , "and are sure of overcoming thc lead taken by the Omaha team. During the first shoot at Kansas City on 'the second day we low ered -thi lead of the Omaha'toam rom cloveir to two and expect to duplicate that record at this time. " Four pairs will be shot today , which will complete the team shooting. Thc final pair Is the one in which principal Interest centers. The contestants will be J. A. 11. Elliott of Kansas City , the champion llvo bird shot of the world , and Frank Parmelee of this city. In addition to their interest In the team shoot these , men have put up a wager of $200 a side on a 100-llvo bird shoot and the first fifty birds will be In cluded In the score of the team shoot.

NUNEZ AND LUDLOW CLASH Hucli CliilinA lip IK the I'mpi-r Oltlecr < > -Innpeet anil Approve MII- . . ' nlc'liiul llnilKcl. HAVANA , Jan. 26. Civil Governor Emlllo Nunez has asked Mayor Perfecto Lacoste to submit for his Inspection and approval the budget of the municipality of Havana , acting In this request In accordance with the Span ish laws , which requires civil governors to glvo formal approval to municipal budgets before the latter are legally perfected. The mayor replied that he could not fur nish the budget to the civil governor , as ho had received orders from Military Governor Ludlow to submit It to him. Senor Nuhez says ho does not precisely understand his position , especially , In view of the fact that quite apart from the existing law the question of the budget being a civil j question is ono In which , according to the latest decree of the governor general , the military authorities should not figure. Hu will refer the matter to Senor Tamayo , accre- tary of state. General Ludlow points to presidential orders Now. 13 and 10 , Issued In December , 189S , naming him military governor of Havana ami empowering him to deal with all matters affecting the finances of ( ho city as well as others. General Maximo Gomez said today , regardIng - Ing thc appointment of Monslgnor Sbar- rcttl as bishop of Havana : "Tho Cubans have shed their blood In order that everything In thc Island might bo born again. When Cuba v.'aB a Spanish colony the officials and clergy were Span- lards. Now that she Is a free country such dignitaries should be Cubans , Cuba needs Independence In matters religious as well as lolltlcnl. If Monslgnor SbarrcttI does not l-ko Into account the opposition Cubans feel In this respect , but accepts the bishopric , hn will be Indeed the genuine representative of an Irritating usurpation.
