Massachusetts Elects Democrat.

Complete returns show that the
Democrats won the State election
Tuesday and kept Massachusetts, in
the party column by continuing Gov
ernor Eugene N. Foss in Office for a
second term. The returns give Foss
!, (Democrat) 210,662; rockingham
(Eepublican) 202,88S.
In The campaign speeches, Repub.
lican orators urged Frothingham's
election on the ground that the Ma.
tional Administration should be sup.
ported in it's tariff policy and that a
Dem ocratic victory would mean q
blow to the textile industries Of the
State.
Governor Foss placed his record
before the people and asked for sup.
port. It was expected, because OF
an off year, the total vote would fall
OF considerably, but the average was
well maintained.
The makeup Of the remainder OF
the State ticket was still in doubt at
r,idnight, although both branches OF
the Legislature were apparently Re
publican.
Governor Foss issued the follow
ing statement:
':The people have won their second
great victory over machine rule in
spite of the most scandalous Doodle
campaign ever Waged in this State
Massachusetts has spoken unnis-
takably for an honest revision Of the
tariff and for business administra-
zion of the Commonwealth.

election is inestimable and the rest
of the country will follow the lead OF
Massachusetts,.

BLOODY DETAILS
OF MASsACRES INCENSE THE
CHINESE POPULACE.
The National Assembly Decides Again
to Urge Yuan Shi Kai to Come to
the Rescue.

The removal OF the hitherto rigor-
Gus censorship imposed on the Chi
rese press at Pekin is 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 imper-
ialists for both the Hankow and the
Shanghai outbreaks.
AS a consequence of this publica-
tiGn there is increased animoslts
toward the A1anchus. 1t is suspected
that the regents brother, Prince Tai
Suan, has left the country, as he has
not been seen for three days. He OBJ
tanned the months leave from his
post as acting minister of the navy.
a private letter from an officer of
Yuan Shi Kai's staff says that the
rebel leader, Gen. Ii Yuen Heng,
makes 25 demands, the most impor-
tant of which is that the imperial
household shall proceed to Jehol with
the entire court, including the eu-
nuchs, and shall remain there, receiV-
ing in return adequate pensions from
the new government, which is to be
republican.
a special secret meeting of the ma
tiolal assembly Sunday afternoon de-
cided to telegraph Yuan Shi kai, ex-
planning the fearfully involved con-
d:tjon of the political situation at Pc
king 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
thai this is a fair warning and that if
Yuan does not comply another prem
ier possibly may be appointed. Con-
sular reports from Mukden say many
Chinese are fleeing into. the country,
believing the Manchus will retreat
nd massacre the Chinese inhabitants
Yuan Shi Kai has requested that
the fifth division quactered in Shan
tang province proceed to Nieko, a
few miles from Hankow. The third
Chang Chun Flu division is arriving
at Lanchau in detachments of 20e
Isl far warm comradeship has been
shown between the soldiers of the two
divisions.
The Peking chamber Of com
merce has requested the government
to provide 1000 rifles and suffi,
cient supply Of ammunition to arm
the commercial police and consular
employees. There are othere evi'
dences of anxiety over possible out,
break within the city.
Robert GaiIy, noted Princeton
football player, who is now head ot

olunteers for defense. Both Manchr

Returns received UP to midnight
from throughout New York State on
the Assembly election, indicate that
the complexion of that body will be
as follows: Republicans, 100; Dem

mean a gain of 81 seats for the Re-
publicans and give them majority

Early returns from the State cleo

GAFFNEY PREACHER ARRESTED

THE FIRST MOVING PICTURE.
The Man Who Made First Moving
Picture.

Considerable discussion has been
going on for some time past as to
who originated the cinema Many
claimants to the distinction have
come forward, but after careful in
vestigation it would appear that the
honor really belongs TO an English
man, Edward Muybridge, who emf
grated from ngston-Thanes in
the 'forties, and settled in California
where later on he obtained an ap-
pointment as Photographic surveyor
of the Pacific Coast.
The first moving picture which he
produced was really the outcome of
wager made between the Governor
Of California Iceland Standford) and
friend as to wether horse ever
has four legs off the ground at the
same moment while running. Muy-
bidge was asked to settle the point.
He placed twenty-four cameras in a
line to cover each movement of the
horse and rider, the camera-shutters
being moved by connecting-pieces Of
string which the animal broke as he
passed. The result was series of
pictures showing each movement OF
the horse. 1t settled the argument,
for Muybridge was able to show that,
except when jumping, the horse ney-
er had all his feet off the ground at
one time
This experiment caused Muybridge
to think what an interesting thing
it would be to present the photos IN
motion. To do this he copied the
method made familiar to many in the
zoetrope The toy was pasteboard
cylinder, with Sits in the upper sec
ton, and when it revolved rapidly
it produced drawings apparently in
motion.
To reproduce the effect upon a
screen, using photographs, was a
mechanical feat which was finally
conquered, the movements of the
horse being shown, but no back
ground.
This was before the introduction
of the flexible film for the camera,
and before rapid photography had
been developed. Muybridge lived to
see the wonderful moving picture of
to-day, and died in 1904 at his home
in England.-EX.
