.? HOW HE WON. j< W. L. Douglas, Democratic Governor ?lect of Mut acbusetts. TBLEB WHX.HB WAS ELECTED. I He H ny a the Nation Could Have Been | Won by the Democrat* on the Issues that Elected Ulm Governor. "I did what I set out to do. I made Massachusetts a doubtful State. Oap I keep lt so? For that we must wait and see. I hellere we will. The same issue pressed in every other State In the union, with sincerity, would have been Just as as effective as it was in Massachusetts." William L. Douglas, the mosts., talked-ai'out Democrat in the country today, tnus sums up his victory. From a plain businessman, devotinng all his time to his shoe business, and taking little or no part in pub! c af fairs, he has become the idol of Mas saohusetts, and Democratic leaders throughout the nation are turning questioning and speculative eyes upon him. Forty thousand persons joined in a great celebration of his victory at his home town of Brockton, Wed nesday night, and the man who has never had a strike and who once be longed to a Union himself, was cheer ed from one end of the town to the other. I William L. Douglas, the next gov ernor of Massachusetts, aud who was elected by the biggest vote ever given a Democrat In the State, ls 59 years old. He is a medium framed man, neither large nor small, who dresses plainly, without the slightest attempt at show. He wears usually a sack coat of blue material, more servicea _ble than showy, a derby hat, a turn down collar and plain black tie. Woodcuts of Mr. Douglas, ptinted for years lu newspapers all over thc United States, have made his features as familiar as those of any man in thu country. He is a few years older than those pictures would Indicate. He is very bald, with a head that rises high In the crown and which is fringed about the temples and at the back by close-cropped iron gray hair. His moustache is iron gray aud only partially hides very full firm Hps. His eyes are a modest gray, but when he is aroused they Mash earnestness. . ;_ A GREAT POLITICIAN. Those wfco have watched Mr. Doug las !n his recent campaign say he is a great politician. A World reporter wbo observed him it, his headquarters last Wednesday was struck with the easy way In which this iJaln mau cf business adapted himself to politics. Almost every two minutes some ^f bia workers, wearing the very evidcn* stamp of the politician, came la to j congratulate him. Instantly the gov ernor-elest was up to meet them with a hearty handshake, and "Why, h t 1 l-o, Jim! Well, it w:is all right, wasn't it? You did ll e. You no.s were great. 1 am awfully glad to se -No, you are to bc congratulates yourself." All day Wednesday thc politic il workers filled his improvised campaign headquarters In the Old South build .-ing on Washington street, and Mr. Douglas, who bas devoted all his life tb the shoe business, mingled witt, them his hearty laugh and with as great freedom as though politics bari been his calling all hts life. Djwn in Brookton, 10 miles from Boston, where the Douglas shoo fac tories are, Mr. Douglas is unquestion ably the idol of the pe iple. He lias a great army of empl< yes fri his in verai iactories there, lie is known from une ead of t ic State to the other as the ideal emp ?j?s What tho pe pl tf tho town Uko ab ut him is that he ls a p'aiu, sincere, unostentatloui man who goes about the streets m ug Ung with the people, without, ever giving In his manner the slight st suggestion of the great success he has won.* "Thes- newsboy s and bootblacks all know him. The conductors on the accommodation trains that run from Boston to Brockton all know him, and he always gives thurn a hearty handshake. All the cabmen and truck drivers are his personal friends, and though Brockton ls a Republican town far and away, he carried it Tuesday by a g tod vote. There ls no question that Mr. Douglas' election is the most remark able thing that ever happened in Mas sachusetts politics. Many explana tions are offered for it. Probably th most popular explanation is that the labor vote did it. Though this expla nation covers a great part of the phe nomenon it does not explain it ?ill Throughout ttie State thc labor uti lons were pretty generally united li favor of Mr. Douglas. They hied him, and they did not like (J .v. Bates, whom tiley blamed for vetoing an eight-hour law and an over-time bill. The lab >r unions in many eas ;s came out openly and Indorsed Mi Douglas. The socialist vote ai.-.o went for bim. NOT TUE LA HO lt VOTE ALONE. Mr. Douglas dies not agree that the labor vote is wholly responsible for his election, and lie points out that willie his vote in the textil, cities, such as Fall River, wan very large, lt was equally large in tht farming districts In purely residential sections, and throughout Bo3tou, which he carried by 20,01)0. "lt was a general vote that elected me," said he, "the vote of the work ing men, farmers, businesss meu, law yers and all classes. It was due to the fact that 1 stood lor a genuine issue. "1 conducted a campaign that was free from fault finding. 1 believe that in our national campaign it would I ?ve been much better if sse had not found so much fault. In my speechi I never once mentioned the name ol Gov. BaUs or President Roosevelt. 1 did not mentlcn a dead issue, 1st-.ul out upon the affirmative proposltii n of a demand for reciprocity and thc removal of protection from trusts, aud without attacking tho otherside con tlnually pointed to this issue as someth ing that 1 stood for. It was the i su nearest the popular heart-whether the people are to continue paying mil lions to ttie trusts. "The situation which brought such a surprising response in Massachusetts was not leieal to Massachusetts. Tin Issue was just as good in Connei tlcut, Just as good lo New Jersey, lt was Just as good in a farming as In a manufacturing State, lt was an Issue upon which 1 believe tho American people are better preparer] today th m in any previous campaign to respond to. Tho dcmonstiatiou of popular sentiment here has been tuch that the Republican party has begun to sec that it cannot ignore it. Its leaders here, some of them, aro beginning to admit that 'stand pat' will not always lo as a pojii.y. Somo of theta have ldmlttod that the tariff must be re vised. "All that was needed was a man In , the nation to present the Issue to the Amyrlcan people sincerely, earnestly,' vigorously, In a way that would ap peal to tbelr heart and conscience. . We should have made the campaign aggressively upon that issue apolo gizing for nothing, fearing nothing, knowing that we were right and dar ing to stand for the right." rOUNDED DESK FOB EMPHASIS Mr Douglas, who alway speaks for publication with tbe business man's reluctance, had begun to talk half Hesitatingly, hut bo warmed up as he went on, until he began to pound his desk for emphasis, and no one who saw him could have doubted the thorough earnestness and sincerity ot tho mau. As he talked it was plain that ho regarded this issue upon which he bad made his fight as tho one which comprised all the other Is sues-the great trust Issue, aud the qursbiou of corporations taking taxes from all classes by taking the necessi ties of life. "Tho people In Massachusetts are .?ducitcd on the tariff, and tbey are not to be fooled," said he. "They see or themselves the practical workings of this tariff which ls so highly laud ed as tiie friend of the workingman, and they kuow that even If wages h ivo advanced, the cost of living has advanced three tirars as much, aud In t he end the workingman ls worse off in the pocket. In a word, wages have increased 1 and a fraction per cent., and the cost jf living has Increased 3(3 aud a fraction." Mr. Douglas hts a magnificent hime ori south Elm street, lu Brock ton, and his wife learned with a sigh that she must give up this home and go to live in Boston when he takes up the reins of g ?vernment on Jan. 8. "I was satisfied with my husband as he was," she said. "Of course 1 am proud that tho people have called him, and 1 I know ho will do himself cricdit, but I know we will not tc anio to seo as much of him here at home as we have done." Mr. Douglas ls a great home man, and he ; pends all his spare time there. The d;<y afier he was elected, when he came to Boston, he slipped away from his c?l?br?t!) g friends to buy a present for his Hale grandson, who was celebrating his first birthday.

FOUE MEN KILLED' find Several Fatally Injured by an Tr ploslom of Gas. NINE TERRIFIC DETONATIONS. Tho Dead Burled Under Tona of Burn in? Timbora and Hot Bricks aud Iron Make Their . Removal Dintcuit. At Chicago four persons were killed and a score of others were injured by a series of Gus explosiona that com pletely destroyed the plant of the Pyle Eleotrio Headlight company In South Chicago Friday. The shocks of the explosion were so severe that all the buildings near the demolished plant were badly damage.!, windows were shattered for blocks and persons walking in the streets were thrown from their feet. Over pressure on tanks containing gas is believed to have caused the accident. The dead are: Ralph Wellt., superintendent for the Pyle Electric Headlight company. Amos Watkins, assistant superin tendent for same company. George Muehl, draf isman, employed by the People's Gas Light oompany. Thomas Jennings, employed by the Pyle Electric Headlight company. The fatally Injured: W. M. Ma loney, blown from third Hoar of build Inj/; body crushed. Alfred Cox, inter nally injur-.d. Many persons who wore walking in the street near the plant were hurt by tl. log pieces of debris and were taken to tbeir homes in carriages be fore their names c mid bs learned. All of the dead were burled under tons of burning timbers and hut bricks and iron, maklug lt impossible to remove their bodies for hours after the accident occurred. Firemen poured water on the portion of the building in which the dead were thought to be burled. The ?tines were subdued sutil -dently to permit of the four dead bodies being removed from the debris. The scene of the explosion ls the old Hyde Park gas plant, which passed Into tlie bauds of the People's Gas and Light company several years ago with the consolidai lon of tbe gas in terests in Chicago.

Three South Carolina waifs, Hattie, Irene and Anna Denton, who have been c?red for In St. Joseph's hospital for the last seven weeks, will be sent to Charleston to be placed In an or phan borne, Mayor Myers having pro vided tickets for the children's trans portation, says the Savannah News When the three little girls were brought to Savannah less than two montlis ago, they had never heard of God, Christmas, Thanksgiving Day, or any of the things that are usually Im pressed on the mi ds of little ones. They had never heard tho words, and had no idea what was meant. Mrs. Alice G. Thomas, who took charge of the children at first, says she never saw such wild little creatures in her life. QUE AT IMPROVEMENT NOTED. Though still shy in the presence of strangers and very eisily frightened, the three httle girls havesh?wn great improvement during their stay in Sa vannah. Kind words and patient work have worked wonders, though there ls still plenty of room for lin provement. The children were brought to Savannah by an aged man, who gave his name as William Hen ton. He arrived In the city on Sun day morning, September 25ih. He was very ill at the time and lay cu the floor of the union station all clay Sunday, an object of pity. The three little girls grouped about bira in a frightened sort of fashion and at tempted to avoid all strangers who vpproached. The sympathy of parties visiting ihe union station was aroused and Dr. ?. G. Keller gave a certificate to send Mc o?d man to the hospital, while the Jiree little girls were carried to po lee headquarters for a time. There Mrs. Thomas took them in charge and iter turned them over to St. Joseph's. The old man was unable to stand done and ?eemrd to he suffering from aartial paralysis. He said he was a Confederate veteran and lived at Wal :erboro, S. C. Ile claimed the chil Jren as his own daughters, though lt s more likely they are his grandchil Iren. He said their mother was dead, fnough lt lu not customary to receive patients from out of the city at the hospitals free of cost, Denton excited i great deal of sympathy and he was Laker? lu at the Savannah hospital.

The cor oner said he would hold no inquest. Maultry had been more despondent than usual recently on account of his asthma, and tho fact that writer's cramp with which he had been suffer ing for some time was growing worse. Several of his barbers left him re cently.

JAP DESTROYER BUNK. Daring Russian Stolo Upon Japanese Ship Undor Cover of NlRht. The Port Arthur newspaper, Novl krai, of November ll, copies of which brought to Cbefoo Friday morning by the Russian torpedo boat destroyer Itcstorupny, prints briefs details of a daring exploit which resulted in the sinking of a four-funnelled Japanese torpedo boat destroyer.- ' Japanese torpedo boats and one de ' stroyer were engaged in removing. r.jinc.T, ino?uiV-tl?c?? V??, ii'O??. J.?C?V mines, mostly their own, from Tache Bay, on November 3. Midshipman Dimltrieff conceived the idea that bc ct uld torpedo the Japanese boats u^der cover of darkness as thc latter were very busy and enjoying a fancied se curl ty. It was the very audacity of the plan, the Novlkral says, that made it successful. Securing a steam launch from the battleship Rebvizan, one carrying a torpedo tube and ace mpanied by half a dozen silent volunteers, Midshipman Dlmitrleff, in the dense darkness slip ped out of the harbor aud succeidid in evading the Japanese searchlights Circling around the Japanese boats wi Mi the launch moving at top ypeed, tho midshipman came within striking distance from the seawardr &i?y-, -nd launched his projectile. It ; sped through the water to the destroyer. There was a sudden explosion and the destroyer sank immediately. The launch then sped towards the harbor, but was not pursued, thj Jap anese evidently not having observed the launch and thinking that the de stroyer had struck one of theil own mines. .Midshipman Dlmitrleff is the hero of the day at Port Arthur, aecordlug to the paper. Called Him Down. Miguel Nlcdao, a joung Filipino student, who is being educated at the State Normal university at Normal 111., by the government, has been rep rimanded by W. A.

Hurke of St. Pattrlck's church of that city took the matter up with the war department and Immediately received a letter in which it was stated that the utterances of the Filipino wen not approved aud that he would be \igorously censured. Mr. Sutherland stated that the Filipino should have devoted htmself to a discussion of other matters of wide in'erest con cerning lils country instead of attack ing the church.

DABED FOE ENEMIES?. aur Anderson lady Who parked Gravea of Onion Poldiera. LOOKED AFTER THE Ia'FOR YEARS rho Bodies Aro Kow Taken Vp And Laid Amonjr Comrads in a National Cemetery at Marlrtta, Us. One day last week the bodies of Ehe Federal soldiers were taken up. at An ierson, S. C., and sent to tho national cemetery at Marietta, tia. All of there years that the graves of the soldiers have been in Anderson they bavo been cared for by an Anderson lady and school children. The story of tbelr removal In the Anderson Mail ls as follows: Today the remains of six Federal soldiers who died in Anderson in 1865 will be removed from the graveyard nf the First Ptesbyberlan churoh and transported to Marietta for Interment in the National cemetery there. Mr. M. H. Garllngton. ot the quartermas ter department, United States army, is In Anderen for the purpose of su perintending the removal of the bodies. Mr. Garllngton came to Anderson on ordtrs transmitted to him through ti e headquarters of the department of the Gulf in Atlanta, by Maj. J. B. Bullit ger, of the war department, In Washington. In order to removo a body lt ls necessary under the city ordinances to secure permission from the city board of health. At a called meeting of the board yesterday after noon the order was gladly granted. Mr. Garllngtc-n ls receiving the heart iest ?.o-operaLlon in his work. Ile is a native of Newberry and a very pl< as ant gentleman. Ile will have the bod ies exhumed today, placed in airtight boxes and shipped to Marietta. The cost of the removal will be paid out of the appropriation for army transpor tation. It is probable that only a few bones aud possibly a blt of blue cloth and a few buttons will be found in each grave. The most recent ls thirty nine years old. Three of thc dead soldiers were killed while guarding cotton at Browu's ferry on the Savannah river. They were taktn to a little island In the river aud shot bo death. They' were mere boys. 17, 18 and 20 years cf age, respectively, and had never been in battle. One bf the others was mur dered by one of his comrades at the "atrh:k military institute building which was the headquarters, and hh b dy was thrown into a well on tht promises. Two others died in the milltnry hospital here. There was formerly still another, but bis body was r m >ved soon after the war by relatives. Miss Lerora C. ITubbard, of thi> city, has alway s been Interested In the graves of these Northern soldiers. For twenty years she and her pupils have cared for the six graves, and every ytar on Decoration day they have been neatly cleaned off and dec orated. A f ;w years ago a notice it. regard to this custom was s:en in th Anderson IntelMg ncer by Maj. A Q Hill, ot Calais, Me., and he wrote to Miss Hubbard thanking her for her ears-oL-tho gr?ves of his, comrades Maj. Hill was an oillct r o? the Union garrison at Anderson and has been a( sui scriber to Tue Intelligencer almost' continually since the war. Mr. J. A. Brock, of this city, later sent to Maj. Johnson, of Lawrence, Mass., a c p;. of The Daily Mail containing another reference to the graves. Maj. Johnson was adjutant of the Auderson war girrlson, and has kept up his friend ship mide riuriru his residence in tbli city. Miss Hubbard has received let ters of gratitude and praise from many pro.oinent Northern v< Lerans among them the governor of Maine, who also sent her a package of ll gs to be used in decorating the graves, and the bishop of Pennsylvania. Through these men the butter wa' brought to tlie attention ni the Grand Army of the Itepu'He, and at l s meeting in B ston la t Sept- mber tl e ultimate disposal of Li e bodies of the Keieral soldiers at Ai.der-.on was thoroughly discussed. Capt. Hopkins a brother in-law of one of the dead soldiers, Col. (J. S Brown, formerly in command of the Anderson garrison, and Adjutant J boson, were in favo: of allowing the bodies to remain ai Anderson, and of mak'r.g an app>0| ri a ion for proper y m; r lag and ?na o 3 leg the g aves. Finally; however, lt. was decided that the bodies should rest in a national cemotery. The matter was bought to tl e at tention of the war department, and in accordai.ee to its custom the order was at once Issued upon which Mr Carlington is now removing the bod ies. They will be interred in one of the most beautiful nf the nation's "bivouacs of the dead," and properly marked. For twenty years Miss Hubbard has personally cared for the g-aves of 11 ese late foenun and her thoughtful ness and generosity have been com mented on In the m< st graceful ani i urteous letters fro o doz r.sof Mirth ar? vet er;'ns. Invariably they hav;' referred to iier action as significant of the healing of the scars of war ant' the reunion of the eountry. Many of tile officers who wi re moxb.'rs of tin ?carri.-on wblob occupied the city dur lng its two years nf military rule made lifelong friends among their defeated foemen, and tho six graves in the Presbyterian churchyard have been jhe means nf forming yet other de Ightful friendship1;.

The bodies would long ago have been )lacod in Silver B ook cemetery had int the attention o? Miss Hubbard iud of the ladirs who were Interested with her been taken up wich the mildiug of the Confederate monument in the plaza. They felt that, their iir.^t vork was due the fathers and brothers vho wore tno gray. In speaking of the matter yesterday illss Hubbard said that the romo val vould moan a personal loss to her. Vf ter caring for their graves for so nany years the dead soldiors seemed dmost her own dead, and sho would live them up with a feeling akin to ?arting from dear friends. She said, lowever, that she was glad that they vere to lind a resting place along with heir comrades where proper care of heir graves would be assured for all Imc. and where the could always be ocated if relatives should seek them. The dead soldiers were members of he Frst battalion of Maine Volun cers, a regiment which formed pait >1 the garrison stationed at Anderson n 1806.

The payment ot the capitation tax will be made Just < os In the case with other property bax, and as the Areal year bas not closed, it o innot be said whether the law has been successful or not. The law provides: "That there shall be imposed and assessed on all dogs in this State a capitation tax of 50 cents anrually on each dog, thc proceeds of which shall be expanded for school purposes in the several coun ties In which lt ls collected. .'Sec. 2. Thatdcgs shall be returned in the stine manner and at the same time that other property is returned fir taxat'on. "Sec. 3. That the capitation tax on dogs provided f jr In this act shall be c jllected at the same time and in the same manuer that other taxes are now colleoted. "Sec. 4. That the capitation tax provided fur In this act shall be, and constitute, a drat Hen in favor of . the State bf South Carolina on all proper ty owned by any peroon who owes auy such capitation tax. "Ste 5. That .'e collection of thc capitation tax provided for in this act may be en'o-ced against ?ny property owned by the debtor of such tax lu the same way and manner as if lt were a tax assessed on that specific piece of property. "Sec. 0. That no dog which ls not returned for taxation as required in this act, shall be h.l 1 to bc property In any of the courts of this Stat-!. "Sec. 7. That it shall be the duty of the county editor and township as sessors to enforce thc provisions of tills act, so far as it relates to listing for taxation."
