Nicaragua Canal Bill Reconsid.
cred ty the House Com
mittee.
Cost Limited to 900.
Ten Millions Immediately
Available.
Mr.. Morgan Has No Doubt Con-
gress Will Take Favorable
Action.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 21.-The house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce r~econsidered the Nicaragua
canal bill, which had been reported with
an appropriation of $40, 900, 900 and
changed the appropriation section so as
to make $40, 600, 900 available, with au.
thority to contract for the entire excava.
ton. construction, defense and compile.
ton of the canal, at a total cost not eN.
ceeding $40. OOO, 900. Before this action
was taken Mr.. Hepburn. chairman of
the committee, stated that as all the
members of the committee were anxious
for the success of the bill. it was well tc
consider some objections which had been
raised. He had heard several objections
on the ground that the whole $40, 900.
600 was appropriated now, and three OF
four gentlemen had said they would no,
support the hill if the entire sum was
appropriated now, but would support il
if only a portion was made available at
once to begin work.
Mr.. Corliss of Michigan, thereupon
offered the following new section, which
was adopted:
"Section s.. That the sum Of so, 900.
600 is hereby appropriated out of any
money i'll the treasury not otherwise ap.
propriated toward the project herein
contemplated, and the secretary of wal
is further hereby authorized to enter
into a contract or contracts for mate.
rails and work that may be deemed nee.
essary for the proper excavation, con.
struction, defense and completion o,
said canal, to be paid for as a%ppropria.
tons from time to time be hereafter
made, not to exceed i'll the aggregate
$40, 600, OoO.'
Mr.. Fletcher Of Minnesota asked:
when you get that canal half built
for $l4O.O OO, 900 what will you do for the
other half"
Mr.. Corliss answered that the highes,
estimate Of cost thus far was $l33,
600, 600.
Mr.. Hepburn added that in the amend.
ed form the bill simply applied the con.
tract system and limited the aggregate
to $l4O,O OO, 900.
In the amended form the bill was or.
dered reported. The Pacific cable ques.
ton was then taken up. and General
Wager Swayne of New York spoke in
favor Of private construction and opera.
ton Of the cable line, as against govern.
ment ownership.

It s urged 10y republicans that some
one be elected to the United States sen
ate to succeed Mr.. Pettigrew, in order
''to help Mr.. Kyle represent South Da-

Ii there was ever a senator needed help

Isn't IN it. lie even voted u week or two
ago against South Dakota getting $780,
O00 or its tive per cent of the proceeds
OF land sales III the state. It would
nearly pay off our entire state debt If we
get 1t. we are Justly entitled to it and
Mr.. Kyle ought to have voted for it,.
Mr.. Kyle does need help awful bad. He
needs TO be helped clear out of Dakota
or else have a keeper placed over him.
About all that this state has ever gotten
from the general government it has got
through Mr.. P~ettigrew, and it is no a
little. Inat is one good feature about
Mr.. Pettigrew. He is able to take care
of himself and his state too. He don't
need any help, like Mr.. Kyle, though re-
publicars would be glad to help get rid
OF him, for their own political ends. Mr..
Pettlgrew at present is like o thorn in
the flesh to them. He was elected by
them and stands pat on the platform on
which they elected him and because
they have switched off and be has not,
they don't like HIM. Well, MIR. Petit

MOBILE. Jan. Elm opening his SEN

Morgan discussed the criticism Of his
work in behalf of the Nicaragua canal.
The problem Of the modern era, he
said, has been to provide a second outlet
so that the gulf should be a thorough
fare. The Nicaraguan canal would be
such an outlet. 1t was an engineering
work presenting no insuperable difficult
ties. Congress is favorably disposed,
the senator continued, the Hepburn
