30S to the Nicaragua Canal bill pass
ed the House late Thursday afternoon.
Mcssrs. Fletcher (R., Mimi, and Las

In the negative. The opposition to com
mitting the government to the Near

amendments to lodge with the President
the discretionary power to purchase
and complete the Panama canal, If is
could be purchased for $4,000, 900. The
test came on the first vote, when the
advocates of an alternative route polled
l02 against 107 votes. At each sue
ceeding vote their strength dwindled
until Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois, under
whose leadership the fight was maze,
was unable to get the ayes and noes
on motion to recommit. All other
amendments failed and the bill passed
exactly as 1t came from the committee.
