Under other circumstances the news from

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.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 20. A statement
made last week by authority to the effect
that the government has engaged In no
exchanges with foreign governments re
garding the Nlearaguan canal since thc beginning - '
ginning of the present congress may now
bo reiterated. Certain conferences which
have taken place In London between Mr.
Cboate. our ambassador , and Lord Salis
bury have not , as erroneously Inferred In
some quarters , bad to do with tbe subject
of an Isthmian .canal , but related entirely
to minor affaire.
Ilwpectlng the attitude of foreign na
tions toward the United States In the event
that the pending Nlcaraguan _ bill becomes
a law It can be stated that tbe subject has '
received nothing moro than a preliminary :
consideration and It In questionable whether !
Inquiries from nny foreign power would bo '

nrss Secrets of Industry.
. WASHINGTON , Jan. 26. 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. "

"WASHINGTON , Jan. 2C. 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.
Before the eulogies began the conference
report on the census bill was adopted and an
attempt was made to pass a bill ti pay I ho
cost of repairing the Manila table , which
Ijuwey .cut. Just , prior to his i nj-oat , vlatpry :

r'jpnlrliig the Manila-Hong Kois ; cable , cat
by Admiral Dewey during the war with
Bl-ain Tbls was the first' bill carrying an
a | propHation to Indemnify a company for
property destroyed during the Spanish war.
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.

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.
Parmeleo and Elliott will begin their match
directly after noon.
Tonlgbt at the Mlllard hotel a banquet
will bo served the visiting Kansas City
shooters by the Omaha sportsmen. It prom
ises to bo a most successful affair in every
respect and the menu prepared for thc oc
casion is pronounced by hotel men as one
of th'o finest cvor served In Omaha.

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. "
