Congress Failed to Reach an Adj
jOurnment as Planned.

Washington, June Inability to
reach an agreement on the naval appro-
priation bill forced the senate to aban-
don the adoption of the house resolu-
ton for final adjournment yesterday.
The armor plate question, which for
five years has been a thorn in the side
of congress, upset the calculations of
the senate leaders and their well laid
plans went amiss.
It was a day of strife and turmoil in
the senate. Early the conferees on the
naval bill reported a disagreement and
the senate was told plainly that. the
house would not consent to the amend
ment providing for an armor plate fac
tory to be operated by the government.
A compromise proposition was pre-,
sented by Mr.. Penrose CPa) and after
hours OF debate finally was adopted
by a vote of 80 to 50. The discussion of
the Philippine situation developed an
unusual bitterness of feeling and
charges of robbery and political corrup-
ton were hurled about the chamber
with an abandon which, if they had not
fallen from the lips of grave senators
would have been regarded as reckless.
Little worse was ever heard in the heat
of a political campaign.
Three o'clock the hour agreed upon
for final adjournment, was passed and
still the senate wrestled with the armor
question. When the Penrose PROPOSE
ton was finally agreed to it was sup
posed the way was clear, but late last
night, another disagreement was reach
ed on the naval bill and the senate took
an adjournment until IL o'clock this
morning.
The evening session presented a bril-
liant scene, the galleries being thronged
with a gay and fashionable assemblage.
All were immensely entertained, as

Atchison, June Mrs. Arabella C. Rice
died at her home, 925 South Fourth
street. from the shock of injuries she re-
ceived by being struck by a train on the

well-to-do, and leaves a fortune estimated
at from SIS, 900 to $4,000.

FIRST STEEL CAR
Turned Out of Santa Fe Shops to Use
For Ballast.

One of the new ballast cars being
made by the Santa Fe in the shops in
this city has been turned out. The car
is all steel and has a much larger ca
pacity than the wooden cars formerly
in use.
The cars are 40 feet in length and
have a capacity of $4,000 pounds or 81
cubic yards. The weight of the car is
AZ, 200 pounds. The use of steel cars has
not as yet become very extensive. -Ex-
periments already made go to prove
that the steel car is more economical
besides being safer than the wooden
ones. It Improbable that at a not very
far distant time all cars will be built of

Well wander by the apple trees
ROBBED in the bloom Of Nav
Aud hear the murmur OF the bees
That midst the blossoms stray
Young summer days, OF ali most Nv ct,
With tenderness and JOY replet,
Where beauty and elch antment meet
And rosy dreams delay.
All Lowell Is loves fulfiilment nearf--
The love that most prize
Its music In thy voice hear
read 1t ia thine eyes.
And as clasp this hand OF thine
For nausht Of worldly wealth pine
richer pearl by far Is mine
The love that never dies.
Well wander midst the apple trees.
And hand in hand wen go,
Beneath the blending harmonits
OF rose and pink and snow
All this Is life,--each moment brings
some gift of heas'n on viewless wings
With promise Of far better things
That bye md bye wen know
Here will bind with bloom Thy brow
And call thee queen of Mag
Thy throne shall be the apple bough
And love thy ceDter's sway
The winds that kiss thy lips shall bear
To niue thy laughter rich aud rare.
And loving aud beloved we'll share
The wealth OF life today.
