NEAR US END Tie laacha Dyaasty ia Chiaa Sec as te le Tetteriag le It* Fall ? DEMANDS FOR REPUBLIC ? . I SpmUb Throughout the Chinese Empire, end the Imperial Court at Pekin is In a Sorry Plight, Not Knowing Where to Go When It Fires From That City. A dispatch from Pekin. China, says 1 the legations consider that the end of the Manchu dynasty is imminent. ' There seems no hope of saving even j a seminal throne. The provinces north ef the Yang-Tse are now de- < daring for a republic. < The enly force of Manchu troops large enough to cope with the local I situation is in Peking, but there are j indications tonight that the capital < will he surrounded before many days by Chinese soldiers. < * * " ^ A Iff A _ 1- k i Where tn? uourt win uuvo iciugo < is a question. There are evidences that the Court intended to proceed < to Chang Kia Kau (Kalgan.) < Treeps guarding the rout? to that town, which lies in the province of J Chi Ld, 125 miles northwest of Pe- j king, were expected to dynamite the < tunnel after the passage of the train j bearing the Emperor and his house- \ hold. Reports have now been re>- ( ceived that Chang Kai Kau is unsafe, j Garrisoned and policed by loyal forces, Peking remained Tuesday < night undisturbed by the rebels. The < general feeling of nervousness, however, was betrayed Tuesday after- < noon when an accidental fire broke 1 out in the quarters occupied by the (board of ceremonies. For a time the i Chinese believed the flames were a < revolutionary signal for an uprising, i and they were thrown into a panic. The national assembly, by virtue of the powers bestowed upon it by the recent edict, formally appointed ,< Yuan Shi Kai premier. The question of his permanency in the office was i discussed, but it was decided that the assembly had no authority to guarantee this beyond an election by parliament. It was, however, resolved to assure Yuan of the national assembly's continued support. A mass meeting was held at LinanFu, in Yun-Nan province, when a series of demands upon the govornment waj formulated. These included the establishment of a republic and complete autonomy for the provinces. The demands were forwarded to this city accompanied with the intimation that three days only would be allowed for the government to acquiese in them. ? ? - it? ni_.il. The omcer commanding me oixtu division, which was a part of Gen. Wu-Lu Cheng's command at RhikiaChuang, reports that 4 0 Manchus stormed Wur-Tent and shot and beheaded the general. Thirty of the assailants were arrested. The officer adds: "The battalion to which they belong looks ready for fighting. We are pieparing." Consular reports state that several other officers were assassinated | and according to foreign railroad of- , ficials the Chinese and Manchu soldiers fought a regular engagement , in which the fatalities were numerous. The general, whose full name is ] Wu-Cheng, reported to the govern- < ment a few days ago that he could ] persuade, the i3hen-Si rebels to accept the constitution outlined by the ( national assembly, but at that time a suspicion was current that the gen- ( eral himself was a revolutionist. His attitude has since been a matter of < some concern to the Manchus He is a native of Hir-Peh province and in , April, 1910, was made deputy lieu- 1 tenant general of the Bordered Red Mongol Banner. < It is expected the assassination of Gen. Wu Lu Cheng will lead to the revolt of the remainder if his ole 1 sixth division, which is with Yuan > Shi Kai. The Government reports, 1 however, that two train loads of Im- ' perial soldiers are on their way to ' Hankow and these may be sufficient < to prevent a mutiny. A hundred carts left Peking Tues- ' day night for Jehol and two hundred mounted Manchus proceeded in the same direction early in the day. The Chinese believe this party is preparing the way for the flight of the Court, but many Manchus are fleeing and troops are constantly moving in the vicinity of Peking. The Manphu troops here number 11,000, Imperial guards 7,500, police 4,000, and banner police about 5,000. The city is quiet and there is no rign of any intended movement. Chefoo, In Shan Tung Province, has gone over to the revolutionaries. Prior to this one of the leaders, Wang Shao Nien, informed the consuls that everything was ready for a peaceful assumption of authority by the Chinese and that there would be no slaughter of the <Manchus unless they resisted. t That Seattle woman who horsewhipped a Judge mast believe that a horsewhip is more effective than the recall.

The removal of the hitherto rigorous censorship imposed on the Chinese press at Pekin is a notable sign of the times. The Chinese papers Monday publish with the greatest of freedom long accounts of the Han kow massacres, giving the details and attributing the blame to the imperialists for both the Hankow and the Shanghai outbreaks. As a consequence of this publicaI tion there is increased animoslt) toward the Manchus. It is suspected that the regent's brother, Prince Tal Suan, has left the country, as he has not been seen for three days. He obtained the month's leave from his poet as acting minister of the navy. A private letter from an officer of Yuan Shi Kai's staff says that the rebel leader, Gen. Li Yuen Heng, makes 25 demands, the moot important of which is that the imperial household shall proceed to Jehol with the entire court, including the eunuchs, and shall remain th^re, receiving in return adequate pensions from the new government, which is to be republican. A special secret meeting of the national assembly Sunday afternoon decided to telegraph Yuan Shi Kai, explaining the fearfully involved cond'tion of the political situation at Peking which required the immediate presence of the premier. Otherwise, the assembly would be unable to tide over the difficulties. A member of the assembly explains that this is a fair warning and that if Yuan does not comply another premier possibly may be appointed. Consular reports .from Mukden say many j Chinese are fleeing into the country, Kr liovinir tUa \Tnnr?hii?a will nd massacre the Chinese inhabitants. Yuan Shi Kai has requested that the fifth division quartered in Shantang province proceed to Nieko, a few miles from Hankow. The third Chang Chun Fu division is arriving at Ranchau in detachments of 200. S> far warm comradeship has been shown between the soldiers of the two divisions. The Peking chamber of commerce has requested the government to provide 4,000 rifles and a sufficient supply of ammunition to arm the commercial police and consulai employes. There are othere evidences ?f anxiety over a possible outbreak within the city. Robert Gaily, a noted Princeton fcotball player, who is now head of the Young Men's Christian association of Peking, not trusting to the police, is organizing a band of 25 Americans and Britishers with 100 Chinese olunteers for defense. Both Manchu and Chinese women will be cared for by this body. HELTON BURGLARS SURPRISED. ? They Had Taken Off Their Coats and Lighted Up Store. At Belton the store of Kay-YIattison /company was boldly entered last week by burglars, entrance being made in the rear through a window about midnight. While the burglaro were making a selection of goods such as pleased their fancy, they were detected by Charles and Clement Willingham and Mr. Lindrey, three young men who chanced to pass the store and were attracted by the light the midnight visitors had made. The young men succeeded in capturing one of the men before he could make his escape. The other got away. The burglars were negroes. ? Will Burn Rotten Corn. Farmers throughout the Illinois corn belt, although facing heavy loss on account of the large amount of grain that rotted in the fields, due to excessive rain, have determined to recoup part of their loss. They will use the decayed corn for fuel during the the winter months. ? Turkish Gunboat is Sunk, A Turkish gunboat has been sunk in a navai auei wun an luuiuu cruiser in the Gulf of Akabah in the eastern horn of the Red Sea. News of tl\e battle was recoivod at Constantinople Thursday from the Turkish commandant at Akabah, a fortified village of Arabia. ? ? Arab Women Fight as Men.

WHAT THE BALLOTS SAY Democrats Sweep Kentucky, Winning Her Hack From the Ktepublicans?Hold Massachusetts in Line, Hut Make Loses in New York and Kew Jersey?Some Other Results. Elections were held Tuesday in many cities and States throughout the country, showing varying results, with little indication of a widespread wave of public sentiment. On the whole the advantages are with the Democrats, whose gains are greater than their losses. We present below some of the results of the battle of ballots: Comes Hack to Fold. Kentucky voters returned the State to the Democratic column today and elected the entire Democratic State ticket by majorities Konnrlnn QI1vw)iai'A fpnm 9 i? 0 0ft t O I ailgilAg lAil J Tf UV? V & X/AAA > V) V V V 40,000. Complete returns may show still larger majorities. James B. McCreary will occupy the Governor's chair again, after an intermission of thirty-six years, he having beeu elected to the oflice previously in 1875. The Herald and Post, of Louisville, both of which supported the Republican ticket, conceded 'McCreary's election by 40,000. The returns have surprised even the most optimistic Democrats, most of whom said the election would be close. As 1t is, the Republican majority of 7,000, by which tho present administration went Into office, was shattered and the Democratic State ticket will go into office more strongly endorsed than has been any ticket in years. The Herald attributes Republican defeat to what it considered unpopularity of present Republican national and State administrations in Kentucky. Neither party had a paramount issue. Both stood for the county unit prohibition election plan and advancement in methods of governing State institutions. Massachusetts Elects Democrat. Complete returns show that the Democrats won the State election Tuesday and kept Massachusetts in the party column by continuing Governor Eugene N. Foss in oflice for a second term. The returns give Foss (Democrat) 210,662; Frothingham (Republican) 202,888. In Ahe campaign speeches, Republican orators urged Frothingham's election on tho ground that the National Administration should be sup ported in its tariff policy and that a Democratic victory would mean a blow to the textile industries of the State. Governor Foss placed his record before the people and asked for support. It was expected, because of an off year, the total vote would fall off considerably, but the average was well maintained. The make-up of the remainder of the State ticket was still in doubt at midnight, although both branches of the Legislature were apparently Republican. Governor Foss issued the following statement: "The people have won their second great victory over machine rule in spite of the most scandalous boodle campaign ever waged in this State. "Massachusetts has spoken unmistakably for an honest, revision of the tariff and for a business administration of the Commonwealth. "The national significance of this election is inestimable and the rest of the country will follow the lead of Massachusetts." Backset in New Jersey. Returns indicate that the Republicans will control both branches of the New Jersey Legislature next winter. Gloucester County, which, according to a early returns was in doubt, elected a Republican Senator, and this will make the Senate stand eleven Republicans and ten Democrats. ^Tlie Assembly will be made up of practically 38 Republicans to 22 Democrats. Last year's Assembly consisted of 4 2 Democrats and 18 Republicans. The Democrats elected 12 of their 17 candidates for sheriff. The election for Assemblymen showed gains for Mia RAniihlipanfl in a number of coun flea that last fall elected Democrats, that were carried through by Governor Wilson in connection with his candidacy for the Governorship. The counties that last winter had Democratic Assemblymen, but who next year will be represented by Re. publicans, are Rergon, Essex, Gloucester, Morris, Somerset and Union. Ohio Towns Come Over. The Democrats were swept into power in the three largest cities of Ohio Tuesday, Columbus, Cincinnati, and Cleveland, returning decisive Democratic pluralities. 1 In Cincinnati, Mayor Louis Schwab running for re-election with the Re'publican endorsement, was defeated BANK Off t'onwa i Has largest capital and surplus of a than the combined capital and surp CAPITAL STOCK SURPLUS ? 11 LIABILITIES OF STOCK SECURITY OF DEPOSIT DIREC Robert B.

Returns received up to midnight !rom throughout New York State on the Assembly election, indicate that the complexion of that body will be as follows: Republicans, 100; Democrats, 49; Socialists, 1. This would mean a gain of 37 seats for the Republicans and give, them a majority of 60. Early returns from the State elec- i tion in Maryland were inconclusive, as between Arthur P. Gorman, Demcratic candidate for Governor, and Rhilip Lee Goldsborough, Republican. On the first meagre returns, Republican State Chairman Hanna claimed the State for Goldsborough. The first election held in the new State of New Mejcbco is still in doubt, both Republican and Democratic candidates for Governor claiming elec tion on meagre early returns. indications point to a Republican Legislature, which elects two Republican United States Senators. In Rhode Island, early returns indicated the election of Governor Pothier (Republican) over Louis A. Waterman (Democrat) by an increased majority. New York State elected a Republican assembly, thus depriving Governor Dix (Democrat) or the support ho has had heretofore from a Legislature Democratic in both branches. The present New York assembly has a Democratic majority of 24. The newly elected assembly will have a Republican majority of upwards of 20. In Now York City (Manhattan and Bronx) the Tammany strength was materially reduced, but its candidates for judicial and county offices were elected by greatly reduced pluralities. In Brooklyn the fusion judicial and county candidates wfre successful, wiih perhaps an exception. dear I>emocr!itic Gain. Jos. A. Taggart, a Democrat, was Tuesday elepted to Congress from the 2nd Kansas district by a majority estimated at 1,200 votes ever his Republican opponent, Ulysses S. Guy- j or, to fill the unexpired term of the late Republican chairman, A. C. Mitchell. Mitchell carried the district in 1910 by 3,480 over John Caldwell, Democrat. ? Right Socialist Mayors. The main feature in the municipal contests throughout Ohio is the large Socialist vote, eight cities electing So cialist Mayors Tuesday. These cities are Lorain, St. Mary's, Martin's Ferry, Fostoria, Mount Vei? non, Barberton, Salem and Cuyahoga Falls. In Canton it will take the official count to decide whether the Socialist candidate of Turnbull, Democrat, is elected, as unofficially Turnbull wins by three votes. Couple Perished in Flames. At Lake Charles, La., Mr. and Mrs. Salvatore Oertropia, Italians, were burned to death when their dwelling was destroyed by fire. There is strong suspicion. Officers suspect that the couple were slain and their house set afijre to conceal the crigie. They had been married one month. ' HORRY, y. S, C. ny bank in Horry county.

Stokes when the store was crowded with customers. From the testimony of eye-witnesses it seems that a dispute arose about some money owed and Winndham drew his pistol and fired at Slater twice, killing him almost instantly. Barnwell Murderer Paroled. A parole during good bevavior was granted Saturday by Governor Blease to Charley Zissett convicted of murder in the Barnwell pounty court in March, 1896, before Judge Watts. Zissett was sentenced to be hanged but the sentence was afterward commuted to life imprisonment in the State penitentiary.
