Yearly Executions in China,

At Canton the average number Of
executions is about 300 per year, but in
1885 $4,000 rebels were beheaded. The
headsman formerly received about four
dollars head, but the supply and
competition have reduced the wage to
so cents apiece. Most of the criminals
who are beheaded are water PIRATES or
land bandits.

THE RICHARD PECK BEATEN.
Yachts Corsair and Kanawahn Leave
 New Haven Liner Astern.

New York, Oct. 5.-The exciting feat
 lre of the run to town after the yacht
 race was declared off to-day was spir-
 ited race between the fast steam yachts
 Corsair and Kanakaha and the Rich ard Peck Coal was piled on ton after ton, and the boilers were hit up to the limit At Tompkinsville all three were abreast. Then the two yachts began to draw gradually away from the excur- sion boat, and although she made a good fight she was out of the running. It now became a contest between the Corsair and her rival Neck and neck they raced for miles, At last the Ka- nawaha's bow showed ahead of the Cor sair and from that time on to the statuo of Liberty it was all her race. When they parted company off the Battery the Kanawaha was two lengths ahead.
 There was also a spirited race be- tween Colonel Oliver H. Paynes yacht Amphitrite and P. A. B. Widener's re- gently built Josephine. The race start ed off the buoy which marks the finish of the international yacht race. On board the Amphtrite with Colonel Payne were some fifty friends With Mir Widener were forty or more friends, including Harry Payne Whit ney, Colonel Payne's nephew. The race started about o'clock and was over a course about thirty-four miles long. Colonel Payne and Harry Payne Whit ney bet $3,000 even on the race. For the first fifteen miles it was a regular sec saw race. The greatest excitement pre- vailed on board both yachts. After the sixteenth mile the Amphitrite be- gan to crawl ahead. and the Josephine was unable to catch her. When off Governors Island the Amphitrite was a mile in the lead The Amphitrite reached the battery at 5:50 D. m.. and her average speed was about seventeen knots The Josephine came up short time later. The Josephine was finish ed only six weeks ago and has a guar anteed speed of seventeen knots. She did not make it to-day, but was con- handicapped by water in her hull.

SHIPS RUN INTO PORT AFIRE. The Mallory Liner LeOna Sunk at Her Dock tM New York.

New York, Oct. 5.-Coming up the East river at full speed this afternoon the Mallory liner Leona, Captain Wild CT from Galveston, warped into pier No. 20. The speed with which she came up the river was due to the fact that the ship was on fire from the main hatch forward to the bow. The off, cers of the vessel ordered the crew to try and put out the flames without calling the fire department This was soon found to be impossible and an alarm was sent in. At 530 D. m. ten streams were playing from fire en- zines and six streams from fire boats. The firemen had hard work to get at the flames as the boat came into her dock strn foremost leaving the burning portion out in the water Finally the port holes were opened and the ship allowed to sink, as no headway could be made against the fire. Several of the firemen narrowly escaped. The cause of the fire is not known.

The Board of Finance.

The board of finance last night held up another bill rendered by F. S. An dre"s for team work. The bill was for $4 and was referred back to the director of public works. A bill for SIP for team work rendered by MT. Andrews was not approved at the meeting of the board of finance week ago on the ground that he as a member of the civil ser- vice commission he could not legally do any work for the city A transfer of SIPS was made from the forage account in the fire department to the following accounts in the same department; to general repairs $100, to horse shoeing $50, to sundries $20O, to new rolling stock $200, to hose account $10O, to gas and electric light $75.

 Nominees Already Chosen.

Boston, Oct. 5--This is the eve of the republican state convention, and in old time fashion the delegates from the distant towns poured into the city and filled up the hotels tonight, The con- vention is to nominate a successor to Governor Wolcott, who for three years has been the chief executive, who by virtue of the office then held served in that capacity for some months follow ing the death of Governor Greenhalge in 1896. and who for three years previ- ous to that time had been lieutenant governor. w. Murray Crane of Dalton, now lieutenant governor, will be nom mated. J, l.. Bates, speaker of the house of representatives, has been de- cded upon for lieutenant governor The platform, it is said, will endorse the administration Philippine policy, favor gold as the money standard; promise support to congress in it's en- deavor to support our merchant ma rine; endorse the administration of the recent war, pay tribute to our soldiers and sailors. condemn lynching and eu- logize the heroism of Admiral Dewey. By appearances tonight the platform will be short and concise.

POSSIBILITIES NOT YET BEGUN
REPORTED BO ER RAID INTO NATA L
 UNFOUNDED.
British Position Considerably Strength ened by the Arrival of the Troops from India-To he Sent at Once to the Frontier Belief That Waiting Will Tell on BOer Discipline.

London, Oct. 5.-Nothing important has developed as to the Transvaal sit uation since the morning. The Daily Telegraph's dispatch of this morning announcing that the Boers had invaded Natal and seized Laing's Nek now seems to be without foundation. The British position in Natal was consider ably strengthened by the arrival to-day of the Indian transports with reinforce ments of about 2,500 infantry, cavalry and artillery, all of which will be promptly sent to the front by trains; and at their arrival at Glen Cove and Harrissmith tomorrow or Saturday the British advanced camps or lines will be safeguarded from a sudden attack. The Natal authorities are rather pleased with the arrangement because they ar que that the tension of waiting will tell severely on the Boer discipline.

THE $1O,OOO TRANSYLVANIA. Won by Lord Vtncent-T. H. Lawson
 Loses Heavily.

Lexington, Ky, Oct. 1.-The $10,OOO Pennsylvania to-day in which it seemed a moral certainty that Peter the Great could not be beaten, was one of the greatest surprises ever witnessed in Kentucky After terrifice battle, in which fortune was in Peters favor up to the third heat, which he lost by break within 150 yards of the wire, Lord Vincent won the great stake by sheer pluck. Two other races were on the card, but only the betters watched them. The betting ring was tangled mass of men by 12 o'clock. Peter the Great sold favorite at 100 to 40 for the field. Thomas H. Lawson, the Boston plunger, had bet S10,000 on the favorite in the previous nights pooling and was taking all pools on Peter the Great. He drove the price to 100 to 30 before the first heat was called. Summary:

Gen. O'Bierne Announces That Kruger
 Hns Appoimted Him.

New York, Oct. 5.-General James R. OBierne announced tonight that he had been appointed commissioner eX- traordinary in the United States for the Transvaal by President Kruger. The appointment was made two days ago by a cablegram from State Secre- tary Freitz of the South African repub- lie sent to the Rev. Dr. Bosman Kru- gers personal friend and adviser, who was in this country attending the Pres byterian conference in Washington. The cablegram in part says: "The dis pute has now reached the most acute stage. The forces of this republic have mobilzed on the frontier, while those of the Orange Free State are mobilizing, and all prospects of a peaceful settle ment seem to be vanishing. We are still willing to arbitrate."

Repeatedly Made on Colombn and Imus-A Plot to Burn General Otis ResiNence-AguinaI scheme to Keep the Inland Country as PrO- ductive ms Possible.

Manila, Oct. 5--11 D. m.-The Filipinos in the inland towns have been holding festivities to celebrate their victories over Spain during the revolution in 1896. This doubtless furnishes partial foun- dation for their aggressiveness during the last few days. At Calamba and linus they repeatedly as5ailed the Amer jeans until they were finally dispersed; and they have been active at other points. In one case they had two old cannon, masked in bushes, throwing shells toward Calamba, but only a few exploded. The American artillery in the final engagement there sent more than fifty shells among the Fllipinos.
 The archbishop of Manila notified General Otis that there was plot on foot to burn the residences of the gov general and the archbishop, to- gether with several government build ings and banks, but the plot failed to materialize. possibly because of a dis play of force
 Aguinaldo, according to report brought to Manila to-day by Domini- can F'riar from the north, has issued orders to the Filipino soldiers in the northern provinces to return to their towns and resume farming. This story lacks confirmation, but the rumor may be in accordance with Aguinaldo's pol icy of keeping the country as produce tive as possible by using his men in al ternate shifts on the farms and under arms

TECHNICAL STORY OF RACE.
Both Boats We'll SatIed-Sham Forces Columbia About on Last Tack

New York, Oct 5.-The weather con ditions during the early morning hours were decidely more favorable for a race than those of Tuesday morning. The wind was light from the west south west, and the sky cloudy when the Co., lumbia and the Shamrock left their moorings. The Columbia set the larg- est clubtopsail on board, throwing oy- erboard the steel backyard, which had been used on the first topsail set. This backyard was supported in the water by about twenty-five life preservers. It was picked up by the Lawrence and lashed on her starboard side A wooden clubtopsail spar was also thrown over board from the Columbia, and two from the Shamrock, which were picked up by her tender. The Columbia's sails seemed to set better than on Tuesday. She carried, as then, a cross cut main sail and her clubtopsail seemed to be
