The duke vAs deprived OF all his ofanes.
Hs rank a. a soldier was taken from
him. his name was stricken from the army
list and he was forbidden to appear at
eourt-this despite the fact that no one
more thar hs imperial uncle admired his

kicaraeuan Canal Bill Goes Through
the House.
TWO VOTES AGAINST.
hessrs. Fletcher Or Minnesota and Las
sitter Of Virginia Cast The Ops
Ing sallets--Panana 0ffer
Net Even Considered.

Washington, Jan. 10.--The Hepburn
Nicaragua canal bill passed the house
late Thursday afternoon by practi-
aally unanimous vote. Only two mem
bers out OF $40, Messrs. Fletcher tRep
MINI and Lassiter lDem. Va.) voted
against it. The opposition to commit
ting the government to the Nicaragua
route attempted to secure amendments
TO lodge with the president the dis
eretionary power to purchase and COM
plete the Panama canal. II 1t could be
purchased for s4o,000,o0o. The test
came on the first vote. when the ad-
vocates of an alternative route polled
102 against 10 votes. At each succeed
ing vote their strength dwindled until
Mr.. Cannon of Illinois. under whose
leadership the fight was made, was
unable to get the ayes and noes on
motion to recommit- All other amend
ments and the bin passed exactly as
they came from the committee.
The debate which proceeded the TAX
Ing OF the fnal vote was made mem
orabfe by q clash between Mr.. Hep
burn, the author OF the bill. and Mr..
Cannon, chairman Of the appropFia-
tions committee. On several previous
occasions they have measured swords
over canal legislation. Two years ago
