THE SPECIAL SESSION CO1ES
TO AN END.
Hoar Presents Written Notice of Two
Proposed Amendments to the
Rules of the Upper House.

WASHINGTON, March 10.-There
was an unusually large attendance of
Senators when Vice e-President Hobart
called the Senate to order at noon to-
day. The first business was the read
ing of a letter from Governor Bradley
Of Kentucky announcing the appoint
ment of Andrew T. Wood as Senator to
succeed Mr.. Blackburn. Mr.. Hoar at
once moved that the Senator-elect be
sworn in. Mr. Morgan moved that the
credentials be referred to the Commit
tee on Privileges and Elections. Mr..
Hoar said he would not object, and the
credentials were referred.
Then Mr.. Hoar presented written
notice of two proposed amendments to
the rules of the Senate of a radical ma
ture The most important was, accord
ing to Hoar's written notice, ito enable
the Senate to act on legislation when it
desires after reasonable debate" 1t
provides that when any bill or resolu-
ton has been under consideration for
more than one day any Senator could
demand that the debate be closed. If
the majority of Senators desired, there
should be a vote without further delay,
and no motion should be in order pend
irg the vote but one to adjourn or take
a recess.
The other amendment proposed was
to prevent the interruption of mem
Lers of the Senate. 1t provides that
when a Senator makes a point of no
Quorum there shall be a roll-call and
If the presence of a quorum is disclosed
business should proceed.
A memorial was presented by Mr..
Shoup from the Idaho Legislature,
asking the annexation of a part of Wy
oming. 1t was not read. Mr.. Warren
said if the Wyoming Legislature had
been informed of the memorial it
would have taken action.
1t was decided. on motion of Mr..
Hoar. that when the Senate adjourn it
be until Monday at 11:30 a. m, but in
executive session the Senate reconsid-
cred its action and agreed that ad-
icurnment would be sine die. This was
found expedient, as no business could
bc transacted in half an hour Monday,
and the nominations made in that half
hour would fail If not Immediately
confirmed At 12:4o p. m. the special
session adjourned.

ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC.
The Road Will Soon Become the
Property of the Santa Fe.

LOS ANGELES, March 10.-President
T. P Ripley and other officials of the
Santa Fe system arrived in Los Angeles
last night the object of their visit being
a general inspection Of the company s
line In relation to the inspection and
sale of the Atlantic and Pacific Rail
road next month and its acquisition by
the Santa Fe, Mr.. Ripley said:
There has been some talk by the
holders of the junior bonds as to in
junction proceedings, but the sale will
take place as there is no reason in the
world, legal or otherwise. why it should
not. The Santa Fe now holds the ma
jority of the first mortgage bonds of the
Atlantic and Pacific, and it will acquire
the road under foreclosure decree of
the sale of il. If the inferior bond
holders desire to do anything they can
do il when the sale is effected But /
think that all this talk is founded on
unsubstantial rumors, and the sale will
go through without the slightest fric-
ton. In connection with this matter |
viii state negotiations have been made
for the purchase from the Southern Pa
cifc of the road from Barstow to Nee
dies and this transfer viii be shortly ef-
fected. In this way the Santa F'e will
have an unbroken line of its own road
from the Pacific Ocean to Chicago.
This Is a bad year for the construc-
ton OF the new roads, remarked Mr..
Ripley. Money is scarce. and there is
not that encouragement to railroad
building that there was several years
ago. The Santa Fe intends finishing up
all roads commenced. but viii not un-
dertake the construction of any new
branches"
Mr.. Ripley does not think the Van
derbnts viii build from Salt Lake to
Los Angeles. as reported. He says the

MIA does not warrant the construction

The Salvation Army has been compelled
TO vacate its Woman's Shelter at S29 Fol-

dered unsafe by the recent fire that de-
stroyed the American cracker factory
building.
The furniture has been removed to the
storehouse across the street that had been
used by the army for the housing of pro-
visions, etc. Major Winchell, and more
particularly Mrs. Winchell, are busIly en-
gagged in looking for suitable quarters for
the re-esta blishment oi the home.
"Tbe Woman's Shelter has become 8
necessity" said Mrs. Winchell yesterday.
I'VE are greatly Handicapped for the lack
of it. The shelter was filled at the time
we were compelled to close it, and it was
a great hardship to many.
wv may be compelled TO put portion of
the Chisdren's Home building to the uses
of a shelter. In the meantime we are
keeping q number of our more dependent
charges at nearby hotel.
Our shelter was becoming a popular
resort for respectable working girls Often
they would come TO US to remain for a
week or so for a Iest, especially girls
changing from one EN- ploy ment 10 an
other, or passing through the City from
place to place, the expense being so small
for the comfortable quarters provided"
"The Police Department feels the tenn =
porary loss of our shelter aim ost as much
as we do, believe" said Major Wincnell
"They have so many cases falling into
their hands of a more or less delicate ma
ture and for which the courts or the
prisons offered no proper treatment. These
cases they we're in the habit Of turning
over to US.
1--WE have two or three cases of con-
firmed inebriates whose friends have paid
us TO take charge OF them. We have a
woman in our care now at the hotel who
owns couple of houses in Vallejo. She
has two verv respecta bic sons who can 10
nothing with her and who have asked US
to look after her. She came over 10 the
pletely 10 her appetite for drink, to that
degree that she cannot be trusted with
anything so valuable, for instance, as a
meal ticket, as she would sell it for drink.
We have other cases of the same kind"
4 instance of the embarrassment re-
sulting from the loss of the shelter devel-
oped yeste rday in the person of Annie
Kenard. She arrived in the CITY by ship
from Alabama around the Horn, she
says. Annie is a deaf mute and says she
came away out here to attend the school
for her kind at Berkeley. She says her
nearest relative is an uncle living on or
owning a plantation in Alabama, and de-
clares he is well-to-do and that she was
we'll provided with money when she lett
home, but that she was robbed of all her
belongings, including 500.
Mrs. Winchell is looking after the
girl, who is quite welI-appeariug and
about % years old.
