ARMOR PLATE A THORN
 IN THE SENATE'S SIDE
Bitter Fight Was Precipitated by Penrose Resolution Leaving Price to be Paid to
 Secretary of Navy

Washington, June 6.-Inability to reach an agreement upon the naval appropriation bill forced the senate to abandon the adop- tion of the house resolution for final ad- journment today The armor plate ques- tion, which for five years has been a thorn in the side of congress, upset the calcula- tions of the senate leaders, and their well laid plans went awry.
 The fight was precipitated at the after noon session when MT. Hale presented a conference report upon the naval bill. It was a disagreement of all bills that had been in dispute for three or four days. Mr. Hale explained that the armor plate ques- tion as the great stumbling block agree ment. No price had been agreed upon by the conference because the house con- ferees believed the price should be left to tn discretion of the secretary of the navy.
 Mir. Penrose then offered the following propositions: That the secretary of the navy is hereby authorized to procure by contract armor of the best quality for any or all vessels above referred to provided such contracts can be made at price which is now in it's judgment, reasonable and equitable, but in case he is unable to make contracts for armor under the above conditions, he is hereby authorized and di- rected to procure a site for and to erect thereon factory for the manufacture of armor and the sum of $4OO0, 900 is hereby appropriated toward the erection of said factory
 Sharp Debate Followed
 A sharp and extended debate followed the reading of the Penrose amendment, Senators Teller and Tillman bitterly at- tacking the amendment and Senator Han ma defending 1t. Senator Tillman said:
 We are face to face with a scandal as infamous as any in our history second not even to the great credit Mobilier scandal"
 Mr. Hanna said he wanted to see the ar nor question taken out of the legislative branch of the government, because he wanted to see ft taken out of politics. He resented MT. Tellers charge that anybody has or would be influenced by motives low CT than those by which the senator CTeller) says he is actuated. He advocated the Penrose proposition.
 Other senators also took part in the de- bate, MT. Butler pleading with the senate not to surrender when it was on the verge of victory.

 Further onfere Ordered
 A further conference was ordered.
 The senate agreed to the conference re- port in the sundry civil bill, thus complet- ing the bill.
 Joint resolutions presented by MT. Fora ker, providing that under certain conditions exhibitors at the Ohio centennial and north west exposition, to be held at Toledo, O., and at the Pan-American, to be held at Buffalo, N. Y, might bring into the coun- try contract laDorerS, was passed
 MT. Pettigrew called up his resolution to discharge the committee on education and labor from further consideration of the eight-hour bill. MT. Hawley moved to lay the resolution on the table, which motion prevaied-33 to 2S.
 Senators were pressing for recognition when MT Hale protested against the trans action of business in such confusion. So it was, he said with some heat, that an amendment had been put on the military academy appropriation bill providing for the senatorial cadets. He declared such ac- tion an outrage.
 In explanation, MT. Sewell said the house conferees had insisted upon this increase in the corps of cadets at the military academy and the conferees of the senate, knowing that a similar provision had been in another bill, had felt justified in yielding to the house proposition.
 When the senate reconvened at S25 D. m, MT. Allison presented in tabulated form a statement of the appropriations made dur ing the present session. A lively political debate followed.
 MT. Hale moved that the senate insist upon it's amendments to the naval bill and grant the conference requested by the house. This was done and MT. Butler was appointed conferee in place of MT. Till man, who had left for his home.
 The senate, at 10:47 D. m., adjourned until Il o'clock tomorrow.

THEY WILL FIGHT.
Men Accused Of killing Jennie
BOSschieier Have Technical
Points in Their Favor.

New York. oct 31.-With the ending OF
the coroners inquest i'm the Jennie Bos-
schieter murder case I'm Paterson, Prose-
cutor Emily Is ready TO lay the matter be-
fore the grand jury.
II IS now believed that the great point
raised by tho defence will be the question
as TO what caused tho death of the girl.
When her body was found Coroner
Nroom OF Bergen county made an exam
ination and said her skull was fractured,
which. coupled with her exposure TO the
night air for several hours caused her
death.
Then County Physician Mcbride of Pas
sale county saw Dr. Nroom and together
they made an autopsy which showed no
fracture OF the skull.
Later Dr. Mcbride examined all the or
gans Of the body. ana found thcm normal.
At the inquest he testified that hc was
positivc the girl did not die of disease.
Pressed hv the prosecutor, he said he be
lleved something which rs poison had
been administcrcd-what he would not
say.
IL now appears there may be some dii-
ficulty IN determining what poison II any
was administered.

Mr.. German urged that the city COM
mittee list was the only one a selection
of supervisors could be made from by
the board of aldermen The reading Of
the statute in this regard showed that
a ward committee was in some way con-
sidered.
