United States Senator William J. Stone spent yesterday at the Southern Hotel, leaving last night for St Joseph, where he will spend Thanksgiving. He expects to go to Washington about two weeks hence. The outcome of the election, he char acterized as "very bad, indeed." He was not disposed to discuss politics at length but of the stneral Democratic situation he said: "The Democratic party must adopt a constructive, instead of a nega tive policy if it is to win battles. Merely to oppose will not accomplish much." CHEAP RATES TRD? TO IRE TALLIES NIEDKINGHAUS Claims Four More Votes, or a To tal of 59, and Comes Back at His Opponents. CONGRESSMEN TAKE NOTICE. Recognize That if Kerens Is Elected Senator Their Federal Appointments Will Amount to Very Little. Republicans simply won't let the sena torial election take its peaceful course. Conferences, "hot shots," ciipssen and pre dictions, kept the political pot boiling yes terday. Tho upshot of tho day's proceed ings were several tallies by the Nledring haus boomers with other proceedings of a various nature. Tally No. 1 by the NIedrlnghaus boom ers was the issuance of an authorized statement claiming fifty-nine of the ninety-five Republicans, who will go Into tho Republican caucus at Jefferson City. On ly forty-eight would be required to cap ture tho election it tho caucus were held binding. Another tally for NIcdrlnghaus was the visit of Walter S. Dickey of Kansas City to tho State headquarters, where he re mained in close conference with the Statu chairman. DIckej's close friends say that he favors Niedringhaus for Senator, and though a little late In getting into tho game, is willing to get busy. Still another tally for Niedringhaus was a two hours' conference, which National Committeeman Aklns held with the State chairman. After It was over, neither cared to discuss Just what occurred. Friends of Nlcdrmgiiaus and L. F. Park er, both recognize the fact that Mr. Aklns could be very happy if either dear charm er weru out of the race. Aklns is hold ing himself In a position to como out actively for the man who can delhcr the party from Kerens. HOWE POURS "VITRIOL. City Chairman Jeptha D. Howe yester day poured a little vitriol into the pot by giving out the following interview for strictly homo consumption; "Chairman Niedringhaus Is gaining ground every day. There is an overwhelm ing sentiment throughout Missouri, de manding continuance of our relinked party Lnder the leadership of Thomas K. Niedringhaus and a greater party power and usefulness resulting therefrom. For me nrtt tuno in many years, tho Republic an party in this State knew no faction under State Chairman Neidringhaus. In consequence, the party vote, except Gov ernor, exceeds the Republican vote of 1W), while the Democratic -ote fell off from 2T.,ui,0 to EO.ftx). Our State Chair man got out the Republican vote. He got It out by uniting every Republican force and factor. "The party's experience In the late cam paign clearly demonstrated that it can bo united and can win under the leadership of Thomas K. Niedringhaus. Mr. Nied ringhaus is the logical and nece&sary choico for Senator: not only for the reasons mentioned, but because the people uy tneir voic in tne late election de clared in favor of good government and worthy men to administrate. "Boodling was one of the leading Issuea undue and corrupt influences on public servants, whether brought to bear by cor porations or individuals, tho people Eald by their votes they did not want. Nor do they want men in public cilice, who either are susceptible to such influences or benefit by. or use such influences. "A moral wave has swept the Stato and It is reasonable to presume that tho Re publican Legislators as well as Stato and locai omccrs elected on that wave, aro not men who would deliberately olap the people In the face and incidentally bury themselves and their party forever by so doing. The public announcements that the national administration will not interfere mm uie election or a senator in Missouri war to have been expected. Thank the Lord, the patronage nuisance no longer tuiiirunis tne nepuDiican party in Mis souri. The people settled it when thoy elected nine Republican Congressmen and the Republican United States Senator." PARKER OUT OF CITY. L. F. Parker Is out of the city until after Thanksgiving, bo that local condi tions in his race havo not changed ma terially. Former National Committeeman Kerens returned from Kansas City and held seances with some of his friends, including Jim Gideon of Springfield, a worker among the Ozark Baldknobbers. and Joo Black of Richmond, the best manipulator In the Third District. A peculiar rendition exists In the Third District. Congressman-elect Klepper of that bailiwick was formerly a Kerens ad herent, and remained so until he fell In with President Roosevelt in Colorado. Since that time Klepper has been consult ed on aPDOintmcnts and knows from !,. sonal experience how Roosevelt feels to ward jverens. A friend of Klepper said yesterday that he favored Niedringhaus. Black Is for Keren". If Klepper Is any srt of a Congressman he will do things with his post-oflice appointments. Black's friends make no secret of their feelings tor Klepper, and dub him "an accident" In politics. If Klepper really does opposo Kerens and there As every reason to be lieve that he wilP-the former National Committeeman will have only one Con gressman elect from whom ha can even jiujre lur uiors-miii oi .Kansas City, who Is divided between Kerens and Nledring- haus.

BRAVES TO Russian Army Xurse Invades Japanese Line.? in Search of Wounded Sweetheart. IS ARRESTED FOR A SPY. French Consul Intercedes and Girl May Be Sent to Care for Russian Sick in Japan. Chcfoo, Nov. n A romantic story de velops around Miss Corclle, the Russian war nurse, who Is on her way to Japan. She refuses to talk, but a reliable author ity says her capture by the Chinese ban dits who took her Into the Japanese lines was part of her scheme to find her sweet heart. The first reports said Miss Corelle bad voluntarily entered the Japanese lines. This now seems, to be Incorrect. Miss Corelle. It is now said, was a nurse during the Boxer rebellion, and won the Stan islaus medal. During that war she was wounded in the arm, and received the St. George medal because she continued to work when her wound was dressed. She is a remarkably handsome woman. 21 years old. A young Russian officer fell in love with the pretty nurse, who re ciprocated his affection fully. Recently this ofllccr was among tho missing, and It was believed he was wounded or a pris oner among the Japanese. In order to find him. It Is alleged.Miss Corelle strolled from tho Russian camp and very cheerfully al lowed some Chinese bandits to capture her. This was about ten days ago. The next step in her scheme was to be come a Japanese prisoner or reach their lines. The bandits. It is asserted, allowed her to communicate with the French Con sul at Nluchwang, following which a de tail of Japanese soldiers reached their camp and Miss Corelle wa3 taken to Niu- chwang. She tried to secure permission to go to Japan and search for her suitor, but tho Japanese gave her twenty-four hours in which to leave the town, sus pecting her of being a spy. Tho French Consul at Chcfoo Is now en deavoring to obtain permission for Miss Corelle to nurse the wounded Russians in Japan.
