Sir Edward Grey Suys Sensational
Storlea May Some Time Cauae Trouble.
London, November 7.?The Secretary
of Foreign Affairs, Kir Edward Grey,
took occasion in the House of Com?
mons to-day to read the so-called sen?
sational press a homily on the danger
In spreading falsu news that wan of?
fensive to other nations. "Some of
these days,-' he remarked, "If fala?
news continues to be reported, public
resentment .und excitement will get
beyond the control of the government
concerned."
The Incidents which called forth Sir
Edward's remarks Vere an alleged In?
terview with the British ambassador at
? iennu and an alleged passage In the
speech of Hume ?eeretaic McKenna,
both strongly criticizing Germany.
The Foreign .Minister explained that
neither the ambassador nor Mr. McKen?
na hud been guilty of the alleged In?
discretions, but before this was known
In Germany the Incidents had been
construed as a direct public interna?
tional affront, which had given rise
to great resentment and called forth
a request for explanations from the
German government.
Sir 13dward pointed out that wh'le
these incidents had not caused real
difficulty between the two govern?
ments, there were great possibilities
of dangr-r In exaggerating and distort?
ing facts.
"There has be>:n." he continued, "a
tendency on the part of the newspa?
pers of Great Britain and Germany to
put a sinister construction upon the
actions taken by the British and Ger
mun governments, respectively. In dif?
ferent parts of the world. I trust that
with the conclusion of the negotia?
tions now happily reached between
France and Germany on the subject of
Morocco the tension which has given
rise to suspicion and distrust will dis?
appear.'1

ford and started down the track on his
way to work, lie was going at a good
rate of speed when he rounded a curve.
He looked back and saw a freight train
making forty-five miles an hour com?
ing up behind him. Going too fast to
Jump from the handcar, he tried to
keep going until the engineer could
slacken up his train. Putting every
ounce of his strength to the handle he
started on the race for life. The en?
gineer saw him and put on the brakes,
but not In time to prevent the train
crashing Ino the handcar.

Capture Is Only Matter
of Days.
Peking, Novomb?- 7.?Tho 1< sat ions'
consider that the end of thj Manchu
dynasty ta imminent. There seems no
hope or saving oven a nominal thror.e.
The provinces north of the Yang-Tse
Klang now are declaring for a republic
The only force of Manchu troops large
enough to cope with the local situa?
tion Is in Peking, but there are indi?
cations to-night that the capital will
be surrendered before many days by i
Chinese soldiers.
Where the court will take refuge Is,
a question. There are evidences thati
the court Intended to proceed to Chang;
Kla Kau (Kalganl. Troops guarding1
the route to that town, which lies In]
the province of Chl-lfc, 125 miles north-I
west of Peking, were expected to dyna?
mite the tunnel after the passage of i
the train bearing the icmperor and his
household. Reports have now been re-j
ceived that Chang Kla Kau Is unsafe. '
A mrm lily Has .\o Humum.
The National Assembly is holding j
meetings without a quorum, but cer-j
tain members arc endeavoring to main?
tain a nucleus. Na-Tung, vlce-presl-l
dent of the Privy Council, has taken!
rooms for his family in a hotel In thej
legation quarter. Prince Chlng's pal
ace seems deserted. It Is believed he
Is in the Forbidden City.
American soldiers with" a supply of
Bkyrocketa were sent to each outlying]
mission compound to-night. The lega?
tion has advised the Americans to eomej
into the quarter or seek other piaoes
of safety. A concerted attack upon!
foreigners Is not feared, but there arc'
many within the city who arc opposed I
to foreigners.
General Chang Shao-Tsen. who was:
appointed by Imperial edict as envoy!
to proceed to the Yang-Tec provinces,
to ?onclllatc the people, has declined,
the appointment. s;i\lng that he pre-!
ferred to remain with his own troops'
at I^anchau.
The government proposed to-day to|
cut the Peking-Tien Tsin Railway be-i
yond Fent-Tal, to prevent additional!
troops from arriving. It is understood;
that the British Minister, Sir Johnj
.Jordan, protested, on the ground that!
Great Uritain was entitled to opirat.
the railway In the event of the rus-'
pension of service. In accordance with
an old agreement. Consequently the
line is still open.
In Hands of Rebels,
The Chinese report that the Kalgan;
Railway is in the hands of the rcvolu-:
tlonaries. while a rebel force is pro-)
ceeding apparently In the direction of]
Peking at a point on the railway about:
seventy miles from the capital. All
railway connections With the capital:
arc threatened.
It Is expected that the assassination
of General Wu Du-Cheng will lead to'
the re\olt of the remainder of his old I
Sixth Division, which is .iow with !
Yuan Shi Kai. The government re-j
ports, however, that two train loads ofi
imperial soldiers arc now on their way!
to Hankow, and these may be sufficient!
to prevent a mutiny.
A hundred e.tris left Peking to-night!
for Jehol, and -00 mounted Munchus'
proceeded In tue same direction early|
In the day. The Chinese believe this,
party is preparing the way for the (light;
of the court, but many Munchus are
fleeing and troops are constantly!
moving In the vicinity of Peking. Thei
Manchu troops here number 11,000, lm-|
perial guards, 7,500; police, 4,000, and'
Uanner police about 5,000.
The city is quiet to-night ind there!
Is no sign of tiny intended movement. '
Chefoo, in Shan-Tung Province, has1
gone over to the revolutionaries. Prior
to this, one of the lenders. Wang Shau

Dr. Wu with Hebels.
Shanghai. November 7. ? Dr. Wu Ting
Fang, the hew Minister of Foreign Af?
fairs of the provisional government'
and the most important figure that has.
appeared tin the revolutionary stage;
during the last few days, made it pluin;
to-day that he is not committed to the!
Idea of a republic, though he believed i
that such a government would be feasi-i
ble. Personally, he favored a consti?
tutional monarchy; but he declared
himself in sympathy with the general
revolutionary movement, and the ma?
jority behind that movement hud set
their hearts upon a republic. He said:
"Whatever the outcome of the pres?
ent uphcavul, it will be to the udvunt
age of China. If the revolutionists sue-'
coed, the question of whether the fu-!
ture government will be a republic or,
a constitutional monarchy will have to,
! be decided. If It is to be the former,]
I anticipate n combination of the
'united States Constitution, with the
j acts of the German federation.
"In any cuse new China will seek
I the friendship of foreigners, and prob
I ably a revision of her treaties will
ensue. Anyhow, China will be opened
i to foreign trade, and the government
and people alike will do their utmost
to stimulate business with tho outside
world and develop the natural re?
sources of the country. Forolgn ad?
visors of administrative capacity also
will be needed."
Influence Far-Reaching.
When the revolutionists proclaimed
a provisional government at Shanghai
Dr. Wu was made head of the foreign
bureau, but tho appointment, was not
taken seriously, and as lato as yester?

DEMOCRATS MAKE
MATERIAL GAINS
Ninth District Probably
Returns Democratic
Majority.
KEEZELL BEATEN
IN ROCKINGHAM
Echols Re-Elected to Senate.
Republicans Lose Several As?
sembly Scats?D e f e a t of
Nolting in Louisa Surprise
of Election?Lincoln
Loses Place.
Sucii heavy gains were made yes?
terday by the Democrats of the Ninth
Virginia District in the lights fur
ueuts in the General Assembly that
when the votes are officially counted it
is not improbable the district will be
found to have given a Democratic ma?
jority. Counties which Ubually go
largely Republican arc In the Demo?
cratic column by heavy majoritiesvriuu
many county offices have fallen into
the hands of Democrats after hu.ing
been held bv Republicans for yeaia
At least two ol the seals in tho
Senate occupied in the last Legisla?
ture by Republicans have been car?
ried by the Democratic nominees. The
most Importunt victory in tho south?
west Is the defeat ol Senator A. T.
Lincoln. In the FlrBt District, by Judge
David Campbell Cummlugs- Senator
Lincoln is one of the most popular
Republicans In public life In Hits State,
being the minority mcmoer of the Fi?
nance Committee. He was his party's
nominee for the office of 'Lieutenant
Governor in the last .-late eluction.
AO Republicans Return.
No one of the six Republicans in
the last Senate will come back, Sena?
tor Lincoln having been the only one
i cnomlnated. Dr. A. G. Crockett, of
Max ..eadows. conies to the Senate
unppposed. succeeding Senator A. F
Siroxher. Republican.
While a Btrong light was pui up in
the Second District by Ezra T. Curter,
o. Scott. Democrat. It appears that ho
has been defeated by about HUO ma?
jority by .lohn H. Catron, Republican.
?>o returns had been received from the
Third District up to an early hour
this morn...g to judge of tho result
there, wnere Rev. Charles it. Brown,
Democrat, and J Powell Royal!, Re?
publican, are the nominees.
Wise, the home county of Congress?
man C. B. Slemp, give p. majority for
John W. Chalkley, Democratic candi?
date for the Mouse of Delegates, and
Mr. Slemp himself will be represented
by n Democrat in the next Legislature.
Wytho Also t'nptured.
Another Ninth District county, which
has been recaptured by thr Democrats
from the Republicans. Is Wythc, which
elected a full Democratic ticket. In?
cluding, probably, Colonel W. O. Moore
to the House.
Judge Cuinniings's majority over
Senator Lincoln is apparently more
than 800. Ho was given 344 In Bristol
and more than Till' in his homo county
of Washington, while Senator Lincoln
carried Smyth, his county, by '.'37.
Washington and Bristol also elect two
members of the House as Democrats.
However, the Democrats are not so
fortunate in other sections. Captain
George Paul, Republican, conies to the
Senate from Rocklngham county over
George N. Conrad, altogeth tho Demo?
cratic candidates for the House seem
to have won.
George B. Kerzell is defeated for
the office of County Treasurer of Rock?
lngham. by P. W. Rehcrd, Republican.
This was the most spectacular light
In the State, attracting widespread ,tl
tcntlon.
Mr. \oltiug Renten.
Probably the greatest surprise- Is In
thi defeat of Carl H. Nolting, of Louisa,
for the House by James Baker. Inde?
pendent. It had been taken for grant?
ed that Mr. Nolting would have a walk?
over.
Tho Democrats have retaked Bole
tourt from the Republican:*, electing
C. M. Lun6ford over Warren L. Hyde,
Republican. They have also redeemed
Patrick, and S. Tyler Rakes will rep?
resent that county as a Democrat, in?
stead of D. G. Staples, the Republican
nominee.
Taking the State as a whole, the
Democrats have certainly made a net

In New York Republicans Cap?
ture A s s e m b 1 y?They Also
Elect Legislature in New
Jersey?Result in Maryland
Still in Doubt?Kentucky
Is Democratic.
Elections held yesterday In many
States and cities throughout the coun?
try resulted In the election of Demo?
cratic Governors In Massachusetts,
Kentucky and Mississippi, a Republi?
can Governor In Rhode Island, a Re?
publican Assembly in Now York,
which will challenge the continuance
of Governor Dlx's policies, a New Jer?
sey Legislature with majorities prob?
ably not In accord with Governor
Woodrow Wilson In that State, with
results of tho State elections In Mary?
land and New Mexico still In doubt
In Massachusetts Oovernor Foss,
Democrat, was elected by a reduced
plurality or about 8,000 over Louis
Frothlngham, Republican. The con?
test was unexpectedly close, and early
returns indicated Governor Foss's de?
feat. The Republican candidate for
?Lieutenant-Governor was elected by
7.000 majority, and other Republican
Stato candidates probably are elected.
In Rhode Island Governor Pothler,
Republican, Is re-elected over Louis
A. Waterman, Democrat, by a greatly
Increased plurality. The State Senate

Republican
Surprise In New York.
New York State furnished one of
tho chief surprises of tho election, re?
versing the present Democratic ma?
jority of twenty-four In the State As?
sembly and electing a Republican ma?
jority of fifty or upward. The change
removes the united support which both
branches of the legislature heretofore
have given Governor Dlx's policies.
In New York City Tammany's control
was shaken, but not overcome, Tam?
many candidates In Manhattan and the
Bronx being elected, while those In
I Brooklyn and Queens counties wer?
defeated by fusion candidates.
New Jersey similarly furnished a
I surprise by the probable reversal of
I control of the Legislature, tho returns
I at midnight indicating Republican ma?
jorities In the Senate and Assembly.
In Kentucky, James B. McCreury,
Democrat, was elected Governor by a
majority estimated at 20,000 to 40,000.
A Democratic Leglshlature also was
elected, which Insures tho choice of
Congressman Ollle James as United
States senator from Kentucky.
Mississippi elected a Democratic! Gov?
ernor and State officers by a decisive
majority.
; Returns up to midnight from Mary?
land were inconclusive. Claims were
made of the election of Phillips Leo
Goldsborough, Republican candidate.for
Governor, by 5,000 majority over ' Ar
' tliur P. Gorman, Democrat, while coun?
ter claims of Democratic success wore
made. The constitutional amendment
designed to disfranchise negro voters
was probably defeated.
The Ohio municipal elections re?
sulted in the election of Democratic
mayors in Cincinnati, Cleveland und
Columbus. President Taft east hi;
vote in Cincinnati.
! Election Not Conceded.
In New Mexico the Democratic State
Committee claims the election of Mar
Donald as Governor by 4.?00 In the
first election which the now State has
held. Ills election is not conceded,
and the result is In doubt. The elec?
tion of a Republican Legislature is In?
dicated, which will mean the election
of two Republican United States Sen?
ators.
Marked Socialist strength lias de?
veloped at various points, notably in
several of the municipal contests of
Ohio, where right cities elected So?
cialist mayors, also In Schonoctady,
N. V., where a Socialist Mayor and a
Socialist member of the State Assem?
bly were elected, und In Mississippi,
where the Socialist candidate, for
Lloutonant-Governor polled a consider?
able vote.
Fbtli* congressmen were elected to
ill] vacancies?namely. Joseph A. Tag
garl (Democrat), In tho Second Kan?
sas District; W. D. B. Alny (Repub?
lican), in the Fourteenth Pennsylva?
nia District; William J. Browning
(Republican), Iii the First New Jersey
