A CHINESE EXECUTION.


me Event turned into Mucous
Festival.
Vancouver, b. G., Oct. 22.-Accord-
ing to the latest mail advices from
China eight subordinate leaders of the
kwangski rebellion have been beheadcd
at WI Chow. They were carried in
baskets through the principal streets
as a warning spectacle, amidst the
laughter and jeers of men, women and
children.
Ten thousand people witnessed the
decapitation, and made it a gala day.
Little children copied their parents,
who joied the dying rebels a second
before the AK fell. When all was over
the children played among the head
less, bleeding corpses and made sport
with the black distgured heads.
Manlarins and headsmen improvised
a sort of Maypole, and the heads of the
rebels were placed on top in tiers, the
children dancing around them. The
governor advised the mandarins to
make the beheading as festive as posi-
BILE, so as to inspire disgust for the
rebels in the hearts of the people. A
banquet was afterward spread.
The Japan Mail says petition has
been sent to the government by foreign
consuls requesting that beheading be
discontinued

George w. Clark Paid the Death PEN
atty at San Quentin.

George w. Clark Paid the Death PEN
atty at San Quentin.
San Quentin, Cal, Oct. 24.-George
w. Clark, the st. Helena fratricide,
died coollv on the gallows today.
The crime for which Clark was exc
cuted was the murder of his brother
at st. Helena, Napa county. He lay
in wait for his victim and shot him
dead after taking deliberate aim. A
few days before the tragedy, he endeav-
ored to kill his brother by poisoning
his coffee.
The crime was the outgrowth of an
intimacy that had existed for 10 years
before the murder between Clark and
his brothers. wife. Two days after the
killing Clark made a full confession.
He then changed his mind and fought
hard in the courts to set aside the con-
fession. He was convicted and APP
pealed to the supreme court. The de-
cision of the lower court was sus tanned
and Clark was sentenced by Judge Ham
to be hanged today. Recently lie made
a statement generating his brother 8
wife from all completely in the crime.
Yesterday he accepted religious conso-
lation from mem bers of the Salvation
ARMY

AN ABSURD REPORT.
Minister WI Says Ii and the Empress
Were Not Married.

Chicago, Oct. 24.-Wu Tingfang,
Chinese minister to the United States,
before his departure for Washington
said that the report of marriage be-
tween Lii Hung Chang and the dowager
empress was absurd. The steamer
which arrived at Vancouver on We'd
nesday brought papers from Hong
Kong and Yokohama, publishing the
statement that the dowager empress
had become the wife of Ii Hung Chang.
'Ths is the most absurd OF all ru-
mors," said WI Tngfang. at is I'M
possible. No reliance is to be placed
in kilograms from southern cities about
what goes on in Picking. 1t is not
there like it is here. Your president
goes about shaking hands with the peo-
pie. We have different ways. This
news could not come from Picking. 1t
was made at Hong Kong. The report
is untrue.'

MADRID PAPER SUPPRESSED.


Madrid, Oct. "a. Ell NaciOnal, the
conservative organ, which is support
ing General Weyler. was ordered sup
pressed for publishing an article not
previously submitted to the censor, and
it's editor, Senior Figuera, ember OF
the chamber of deputies, was imprson-
ed. The affair has caused great sem
sation, and the suspension order was
annuled.
Senior GamaZao. minister of public in
struction and public works, has ten
dered his resignation as a protest against
the arrest OF the editor OF El Nacional.
The designation has been accepted,
Senior Sagasta taking Senior Gamazao's
portfolio al interim.

Since Letter failed the outsider has
not been Interested in Chicago prices.
The disastrous outcome to the man
with SO many millions was a terrifying
lesson to the small bull. Explanations
did not count. Whether Letter made
egregious errors or not was of Little
consequence. The defeat, after a years
campaign, OF the bull leader who Tor
so long seemed the greatest who had
ever arisen, took the heart from every
one who had believed in his canse. 1t
was only last Juno that the disaster
took place; about four months ago. 1t
seems a long interval, but it is really a
short one, and it would be remalk ahle
if it were not still in everyone's mind.
What new ball leader would now invite
the com Parsons which would inevitably

hazard the criticism which would fol-

summers collapse been forgotten yet?
There must be good deal imaginative
about any bull deal. Not one advance
in twenty is mere matter Of consump-
tive demand or of actual scarcity.
There must be great deal of theory
with advancing prices; people must
forget prudence, become venturesome,
permit more or less exhilration.
Would it not be like holding picnic
at the close of funeral to permit much
bull spirit within four months OF the
Letter failure?
Tho present movement of wheat to
market is the heaviest ever known-l1,-
100000 bushels received at primary
points last week. There was never any
such total as that in six days before.
Is not the speculator doing pretty we'll
in taking care Of that property and in
also maintaining prices? Is not the fact
that such volume Of grain is financed
and the price sustained evidence that
the volume Of speculation is larger than
the very narrow fluctuations would
ipdicate?

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-02-21
cITvs SWAP WITH MIR. RoURKE.
Both sides Satisfied with the wharf
Deal.

There has been some adverse comment
upon the deal between the city and Mr..
John Rourke, by which the latter acquires
the Screven's ferry dock and a portion
of Reynolds street in exchange for a right
of way through a portion of his property
for River street.
The immediate object of acquiring this
property was for a route for the eastern
house drainage outlet, though it is also
an important acquisition In the opening of
River street. Mr., ROurke also consents TO
the use of the portion of Reynolds street
acquired by him for the route of the sewer
and to the emptying of the sewer at the
ferry dock, which will afterwards be built
up for wharf purposes.
Alderman Owens. chairman of the house
drainage committee, was asked yesterday
If he did not think Mr.. Rourke had the
better of the deal
Hardly" he replied. while it is
doubtless a good deal for Mr. Rourke it
Is also good deal for the city. The prop
erty transferred to Mr.. Rourke was of 10
particular value to the city. The street
and dock were but little used on account
of the steep ascent to the bluff It was
difficult for loaded wagons to go up.
While the property may be OF value to
Mr.. Rourke, it was of little value to the
=
while the property exchanged by Mr.
Rourke may have been of no particular
value to him it was especially desired by
the city. The city has long desired a
right of way for River street II is true
that it might have acquired the property
by condemnation. This would almost GER
tainly have meant a fight in the courts
and delay of several months. route
for the house drainage outlet was neces-
sary. The deal with Mr. Rourke gives us
the route for the outlet without further de-
lay, but little expense, besides the valua-
bic concession for River street. A high
price was demanded by other parties for
the right of way for the outlet as first
planned"
Another point worthy of consideration, .
said Alderman owens, lis that Mr.. Rourke
has the title to River street between his
two foundry buildings, one being on the
River and the other on Bay street. While
the city claims proscriptive right Mr..
Rourke could have closed up the street
and forced us TO a legal fight to establish
this right. BY the terms of the deal this
point is settled also, and the street will
remain open. Altogether the city has done
fairly Wen in the deal, securing some
thing which it greatly needed at almost
no expense to itself and without vexatious
delay"
Having secured the right of way
through the Rourke property, the city
only needs to acquire the right of way
through the lower rice mill property in or.
der to open River street to the present
