Democrats Remain “Away Washington, Aug. 6.—Democratic representatives opposed to the house receding from its position of refusing to agree to the senate’s amendment to the naval appropriation bill providing for the building of two battleships, caused the failure of the third demo- cratic caucus on the question tonight by remaining away from the meeting and thereby preventing a quorum. Another caucus will be called in afew days and the battleship advocates ex- press confidence that they then will have sufficient strength to force an appropriation for at least one vessel. All of the present congressmen from Missouri were candidates for re- nomination, and in nine of the dis- tricts the’ incumbents had no opposi- tion. The congressmen who were not opposed are: James T. Lloyd, democrat, First district; Joshua W. Alexander, democrat, Third district; C. C. Dickinson, democrat, Sixth dis- trict; D. W. Shackleford, democrat, Eighth district; Speaker Champ Clark democrat, Ninth district; Theron E. Catlin, Republican, Eleventh district; W. L. Hensley, democrat, Thirteenth district; J. J. Russell, democrat, Four- teenth district, and Thomas L. Rubey, democrat, Sixteenth district.

The country was very level fora few miles west of Alliance, but soon came to rough uneven land, not fit to farm at all. The railroad was so crooked we could almost look in the back end of the train. We werein land mostly cov- ered with scrub pine. We passed through the corner of South Dakota and the corner of Wyoming. The land was rough and occasionally a prairie dog town.
