Mrs. Heating Protests

Mrs Heating, prominent in suffrage of all kinds, lodged a vigor- ous protest with Miss Alice Paul, chair man of the Congressional union, because of the fight the suffragists were making on her husband.
 Tt is too bad Mrs. Heating feels as she does,' said Miss Paul. We cant help it because her husband is democrat, and she ought to be broad-minded enough to understand that there is nothing per sonal in our attack on her husband. We can't punish some of the party and let others go free. It is because he is a dem oCrat that we must defeat him, and fer no other reason"
 When the final election returns were in Miss Paul gave out an interview express ing great qualification at the reduced dem quite a good deal of credit for the results.
 "Women and men of the United States made an advance step toward real Amer. icanism Tuesday" said Miss Paul. "The lessening of the democratic majority in the House is a good thing and the Cnn- gressional UVon for Woman Suffrage feels elated over the result" she said.
 Miss Paul added that the Congressional union did not take all the credit for the defeat of so many democrats, but the union did all 1t could.
 Southern women so enthusiastically SUD- porting the national body and contribute ing their money to that organization will no doubt feel perfectly delighted to know that their money, at least some of it. contributed to the defeat of democratic members of Congress. c. E. S.

Boston, November 6.-Under protec- ton of two United States torpedo boat destroycrs. the North German Lloyd liner Kron Prinzessin Cecilie steamed into port here late today after 13 hours run from Bar Harbor, Me
 The transfer of the ship, interned at the Maine port for three months as a result of the war was accomplished without unusual incident. Her captain frankly disturbed over the possibility of molestation by hostile ship, paced the bridge during the entire voyage.
 Most of the. voyage was made within the three-mile limit, but on several stretches the big liner was more than 10 miles off shore
 The destroyer Terry was close along side throughout, while the Lamson held to course about 10 miles out to watch for any possible danger. Aboard the steamer Lieut.. W K Fitzpatrick, U. S. N., assisted Captain Pollack in the nav iagtion of the vessel and supervised the operation of the steamers wireless ap- paratus, unsealed for the first time in elany weeks.

TROOPS CAMPED
 ATPRA|R|E CREEK Little Attention Attracted From Miners in Turbu-
 lent District

Ft Smith, Ark, November 6-United States troops tonight fixed camp in the quiet village of Prairie Creek, the heart of the Hartford Valley coal mining region,
 without attracting more attention than if on parade at F't. Sheridan. The few min
 CTS and inhabitants left in the neighbor-
 hood looked on in idle curiosity as the sol
 diers unloaded and prepared to spend
 the night. The burning of two large stores
 at Hartford, three miles from Prairie
 Creek, early today, alleged to have been
 done by sympathizers of striking miners,
 was the final act prior to the arrival of
 the troops. The loss was estimated at $50,

The question of water supply is worrying the soldiers, but 1t is deemed necessary to remain near the Bache-Den- man mine, the center of the disturbances. | The miners and residents of the Hart | ford valley insist there is no strike in this territory.

Fate of Progressive Party

There is considerable speculation of what will become of the progressive party and. what the course of eX-President Roosevelt will be. No one believes that MT Roosevelt is down and out; many say so but the wish is father to the ex rre ssion If he lives there is little di- vision in opinion to the effect that he will take some prominent part in the cam paign of 1916.

Democrats Point to Adverse Factors Which Worked

Even keating a Democrat of Colorado and an Ardent Suffragist, Was
 Defeated as Rebuke to
 the Democratic Party

Washington. November (Speeial.)-Ah parties-except the progressives-assume to derive consolation from the resutssof last Tuesdays election. The optimistic leaders of the republican and democratic parties, after having three or four days in which to analyze the results, surpris- ing in many cases are now on hand ready to convince the doubting Thomas. if there be such, how easy it is for them to win the big prize in 1916.
 The republican party has "come back, it's leaders declare. In the substantial gains made by the g. O. D. Tuesday the hungry hordes of adherents of that or ganization pretend to see a rosy promise for the future. They are now facing 1916 with much more confidence than they have had for many days. The single problem greatly perplexing them Is the selection of a standard-bearer for that year. Whitman, who so easily won the governorshp of New York, is not looked upon by the leaders of the republican party as a likely prospect; nevertheless his record for the next two years will be closely observed.

states, declare emphateally that it will be a cinch to elect Wilson in 1916. They point out quite logically that many things operated against them in the election Tuesday, and nothing especially in their favor It was the first election following the passage of the tariff bill. The pass age of a tariff law always upsets busi- ness and invariably the party that puts through such a measure loses heavily in the elections that follow, they say, and point out many precedents as evidence. In addition, they admit that the necessity thrust upon them of passing revenue bill to fill the hole in the stocking of Uncle Sam because of the loss in revenues on account of the European war cost them several. states in the House. With all these difficulties to overcome, they de- clare, if they can still control, as they do, even with small majority, it will be easy to win with Wilson in 1916.
 J Moreover the democrats point further to the fact that this election was prac- tically square lineup between the two old parties. The succor given the demo- crats two years ago by the then young and vigorous progressive organization was lacking this year. This is the third sue cessive election in which the democrats have controlled the House, and the first and last of these electins being, to all intents and purposes, a square out and out contest between the democrats and the republicans.
