CHINA's FRA DIAvoLo EXECUTED =
A dispatch from San Francisco says ::
K'Ang, the Fra Diavolo Of China
whose deeds of blood have kept the
country in a state Of terror for years,
has at last paid the penalty Of hi
crimes. Advices by steamer yesterd y
state that embodened by his long
immunity from capture, K'Ang last
January laid siege to the heart of the
daughter of high official and that be
succeeded in inducing her to elope with
him. He was captured tried and
although tortures such as kneeling on
heated iron chains, being picked with
red-hot needles, etc, had been admins
tered to make him confess to the for
midable list of some twenty-nine MUIR
ders of which he had been accused, he
would divulge nothing. He was how
ever, condemned to suffer death.
KAng sang songs all the way to the
execution ground and kept it up even
when the oxecutioner's knife had cut
him several times. The final severance
of the head from the body was then
done in the presence of some 10000
people.

TOWED BY A SAWFISH.

A Miami, Fla, correspondent of the
Times Union says: The sloop yacht
Bull arrived in the harbor Sunday
night. She had on board John P. Rob.
erts, of Chicago; W. J. Purcell, Of
Washington and Charles Christian, OF
Miami. The party bad been on q
cruise through the keys for the past
two weeks. The cruise extended as
far as Flamingo Flats and Cape Sable,
where they went to procure specimens
of birds, fish, &C., for the National Mu.
scum at Washington.
A thrilling episode of the cruise was
the capture, on Saturday, March Is, of
sawtish measuring eighteen and a half
feet. Cruising off Maduro Key, they
came upon the huge fish, and Roberts,
who was keeping sharp lookout,
seized q harpoon and sunk it deep into
the monsters body. Quick as a flash,
the fish darted down the channel, max
ing the line whiz out of the boat Rob.
erts, whose hand was burned from the
running line, called to Purcell to make
a turn around the mast The latter
had no time to do so before the end of
the line was reached, so he seized II,
with Roberts, who had nearly gone
overheard, and together they managed
10 mold it until Christian contrived to
make the end fast. Then the fish tow
cd the boat down the channel.
Christian maneuvered the boat into
hallow water, and here Roberts put
the grains into him again. Then the
fish made things fly, throwing, in his
frantic rage. sand and water high into
the air. Robrts contrived to get
caught in the line, and was in an in
stant pulled overheard distance of
forty feet from the boat. Being an ex
pert swimmer, he got back without any
damage. The towing process then
agsin began, this time with two lines,
and the cruisers went flying down the
bay like sports behind a spanking team
of stations. After full hour of this,
the big fish grew weary, and was again
hauled alongside, when a big load of
buckshot was put into him. Still be
was not dead, but very weary. Roberts
then performed the dangerous feat of
getting on his back and placing line
around his huge saw. 1t then required
the combined efforts of the three men
to haul him onto the sands, and there be
begap to slash about again. Purcell
cot cut on the foot that he is nursing
yet.
The men, after sizing him up, decid
ed that he was pretty dangerous Gus
toner, and might have cut their boat in
two with one stroke of his saw. H.
was eighteen and half feet long, about
four ana a-half feet across the body
and his saw was five and a-half feet long.
The head was cut of, to be mounted.
Besides this one, the party captured
and got the saws of four others over
fifteen feet long, and twelve smaller
ones.

Weekly Bank Statement Favorable
Though at First Sight 1t Is
Disappointing.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The Financier
says: The statement of the associated
banks of New York city for the week
ending Oct. 9 shows a material reduc-
ton in cash, the reserve having de-
creased over 81, 900, 900, all of which ap-
parently has gone to the interior. The
money lost seems to reflect actual
shipments, although the statement is
complicated by the adjustment of Oc-
tober settlements, which have been go
ing on during the week. The decrease
in loans is to be attributed to stock
exchange liquidation, since h market
for commercial paper and time loans
has been more and more active of late,
and a great deal of new business has
been doing in these lines.
Some of the banks, in fact, have
withdrawn their call money for the
purpose of putting it into mercantile
paper. The reduction in the loan item,
therefore, represents rather paradox
ically &, better business condition. The
banks apparently have accepted pre-
Vailing rates as the maximum, n are
taking advantage of them on the the
DRY that heavy gold imports will pre-
NOAI ILL., AAiAAS linz
market.
The heavy decrease in the reserve
was. unlocked for, but it is to be OBJ
served that specie receipts are already
supplying the heavy drain of money
incidental to the interior movement.
The gain in gold was made up from re-
ceipts at this port and at a Fran
cisco and counteracted, in part, the
loss in legals which the banks report.
AS the specie now on the water and
engaged for shipment from Europe
amonts to Sc, $50, 900, further losses in
cash will be r~eplenished easily, and
the outlook becomes much brighter.
The international shifting of funds i
now working automatically, and the
volume will be determined largely by
money conditions prevailing here.
While there will be no really chean
money, it is yet difficult to see how
there IAN be an actual ~stringency at
any time this year. AS the gold O.
to arrive will not figure in next weeks
bank statement, it would not be sur
prising if a further loss in the reserve
is noted at that time.

HOUGH BROUGHT BACK.
Alleged Murderer of Clark Jailed In
OwatOnna.

Special to the Globe.
OWATONNA, Depot, Mimi, Oct. g.
Sheriff J. III. Barncard and Policeman
John Thorsen arrived home from Guth-
RE, Kentucky, this noon. They
brought along with them Lee Hough,
who was arrested in hat village by
Marshal w. H. Hickman. Oct. 5. The
5000 reward offered by the county and
city for the arrest of Lee Hough, was
paid to w. H. Hickman by the sheriff.
About two hundred people were at the
depot to see Hough. In the afternoon
he was examined in the sheriff's office
by County Attorney Richter. He de-
MED the murder and old where he had
been since he left Owatonna. At 6:15
o'clock this evening he was brought be-
fore Judge Luce for an examination.
On hearing the charge Of the coroner's
jury read to him charging him with
the murder of Joseph Clarke, on Sept.
6, 1897, he turned pale n could scarce
ly utter a word When he spoke he
asked for more time and an attorney
to advise him before being examined.
Time was granted him. Interest in
this murder case is manifested by all
citizens who wish to learn the true
facts of the case.
The homicide of which young Hough
stands accused was one of the most
frlghtful in the annals of Minnesota
crime. With j. M. Clark, the victim,
and William Morgan, all of Owatonna,
the boy bought a prairie schooner in
the early part of July and went on a
horse-trading our Of Iowa and Min
nesota. Clark was the one who
financed the party, and at the end of
it's wanderings he stood possessed of a
considerable sum of money. A month
ago the trio wound up their expedition
at Owatonna and went into camp on
the lawn back of the City hotel. The
morning after the advent of the little
party the mangled and dismembered
body of Clark was found lying near
the tent. Sheathed in the remains was
an ak. The body was stripped of all
valuables and Clark's strong box had
been broker open and the contents
stolen.
William Morgan was found asleep in
the wagon and was arrested. He pro-
tested his innocence and accused
Hough, who was nowhere to be found.
He said that the boy had told him he
intended robbing Clark whenever he
got a chance. A quarrel between
Hough and Clark had taken place a
few days before the murder of the
latter.
Young Hough has been sought by
the police forces of the entire country.
He stoutly denies his guilt.

FERGUS FALLS, Mimi, Oct. 9.-The
Methodist conference this morning took
things easy and mingled POPULARITY
with business. Examiners were an
nounced for the ensuing three years.
Candidates on trialwere admitted as fol-
lows: D. L.. Sherode, KimbalI; F. q.
Fairbanks, Cedar Mills; Roderick Muir
ray, Howard Lake; r. c. Manly, Wood
Lake; E. K. Hopper, Park Rapids; J..
A. Geer, Princeton circuit. Several Of
these showed various deficiencies and
a warm debate showed most of the
city and large town preachers against
admission of those not educationally
qualified, while ministers of smaller
places mostly held such qualifications
in smaller esteem. The same point
arose this afternoon, when DR.. H. In
mis-, of Hamline university, offered a
resolution that successful applicants
must ave at least a high school educa-
ton. Bishop Hurst said that six years
was about the limit of an illiterate
mans usefulness in any conference,
because churches by that time had
outgrown him mentally. DR.. M. s.
Hart spoke on-the cause of the church
extension and Bishop Hurst spoke
e~loquently for the American university
at Washington of which he is chancel-
lor. Subscription ranging from SIS to
500 per minister for this institution
was taken, a total of about 81, 200. This
afternoon Peter Clare, of Minneapolis,
delivered the conference mt A
business session followed, devoted to
committee reports. The t~reasurer's re-
port showed 1924, 42S collected during the
year for benevolence. Permanent COM
mittees On temperance and qualifca-
lions of candidates for the ministry
were constituted. G.. H. Humason will
preach next years conference ermon
w. A. Fielder the missionary sermon,
DR.. Choffee his s~emi-centennial Sell
mon at the completion of fifty years in
the ministry. T. J. McCleary vas ap-
pointed railroad chaplain at his own
request. A permanent board to create
and control an annuity fund for min
isterial relief was appointed. This even
ing Rev. M. c. B. Mason, D. D., color
ed, walked the echoes or the subject
of freedmen's aid, and Rev. NJ. Hard
D. D. spoke on church extension work.
All pulpits of the city tomorrow will
be filled by members of the conference.
An adjournment will probably occur
Monday noon after reading the appoint
ment
