SOCIAL DEMOCRATS
INCREASE TRIUMPH
Victory in Russian Elections Extends
to the Outlying Prov
inces.

st. Petersburg, April 5-The sue
cess of the constitutional democrats in
st. Petersburg on Monday is reflected
in the results of elections in all parts
of the empire, where the voting is now
in full swing.
Almost without exception the ballot
ing has been favorable to the consti-
tutional democrats, not only in their
city strongholds but also in the coun-
try, where the peasants in a number
of instances turned down their leaders
and elected avowed constitutional dem
ocrats.
AT Kieff the progressives swept the
board, and Prince Eugene Troubetskoy
was successful, insuring his presence
in the national parliament At Moghi-
left, which is a Jewish locality, even
the land owners returned a solid con-
stitutional democratic delegation.
In the presence of these successes
the cooler heads among the constitu-
tional democrats realize the difficulty
they will have of securing a clear ma
jority

Senator Stone Calls At
tention to Parties
Records.
SPEAKS IN SUPPORT
Favors Limiting Power of Re-
view in the Inferior
Courts.

Washington, April 5.-When the
railroad rate bill was taken up in the
senate today Newlands continued his
argument in support of his proposition
for the national Incorporation of rail
road companies. At the conclusion OF
his speech Stone took the floor in sup.
port of the rate bill.
Dealt with Long Amendment.
Stone dealt especially with the
amendment suggested by Mr.. Long,
contending il gives the railroads all
they can possibly ask for, but before
taking up that branch of the subject
he discussed the general question at
some length, saying among other
things, as the bill stands it provides
sufficiently for judicial review of the
order of the proposed commission.
In BniIey's Position.
He stated he is substantially IN
Bailey's position in favor of restriction
of the power of the inferior courts in
the matter of suspension of orders af
the commission. Regarding the Long
amendment, he said while it was pro-
posed by the senator from Kansas the
president of the United States is it's
author.
Cannot Avoid Politics.
Defending himself against the poss;-
BILE charge of injecting politics into
the discussion of the rate bill, purely
economic measure, Stone declared i
difficult to avoid politics in debating
the subject. He said while the demo-
cratic party had twice declared in con-
vention for railroad legislation, the e.
publican party had never done SO.
Takes Up Postal Appropriations.
Washington, April 5.-The house be
gan the consideration of the postoffice
appropriation bill today.

TRAVERSES AIR TO DIE IN A SWAMP

he died. He had crossed IS or IA
different islands and swan or waded
through runlets between them. That
Nocquet travelled as far as he did is
considered wonderful. He must have
struggled the last mile of the two he
Travelled under fearful difficulties. He
made trip that most men could not
possibly complete in daylight.
Balloon Not Damaged.
The valve controlling the ropes of
the balloon indicated that the descent
had been started by Nocquet's action
and that it must have been gradual.
When Nocquet started on his fiighl
Tuesday afternoon the wind was blow
ing to sea. This meant that unless he
should come down soon he would
surely be blown to sea. What the
course of the balloon was after passing
over Huntington at SIS p. m, there is
no means of knowing. Nothing fur
ther was heard of it until its discovery
on Jones beach was announced. 1t
apparently had been dragged along
some distance in the sand. Tracks
about the balloon seemed to indicate
that the aeronaut had survived his
flight.
About the time the balloon was first
discovered by the beach patrol, cries
were heard out on the bay in the di-
rection of the islands by a man who
lives in a houseboat. They supposed
the calls were those of hunters or fish.
