BOY ELECTROCUTED.
Instantly Killed Before Eyes of Brother
 and SchooImates.

New York, Oct. 3,-Samuel Howard, fourteen years old, was instantly killed by live wire tonight on the grounds of the Sacred Heart academy, Union- port.
 A line of fifty boys in charge of Brother Henry, the head of the acad- emy, was marching to the dormitory to retire for the night about o'clock. The boys had to pass an electric light pole, which was held in place by four steel cables and supported cluster of cleo Uric lights.
 In the line were Samuel Howard and his brother Herbert. As they passed the supporting guy cable Samuel asked one of the boys if he would like to see him do 'new stunt" Then he iump- ed from the line, intending to make a swinging circle on the cable. As he touched it there was a binding flash, a shriek and the boys body stood out from the cable rigid in death, Herbert leaped to his brothers rescue and was himself hurled twenty feet away by the shock. Samuel was finally extri- cated but the resident physician said death had been instantaneous.

Accused of Plotting OoverthrOw Ger
 man Rule i'm Southwest Africa.
 Berlin, Oct. 3.-Andrew De Wet, nephew of the famous Boer general, Christian De Wet, has been arrested at his residence in @ suburb of Windhoek, German Southwest Africa, with four other Boers, accused of the plotting of the overthrow of German rule in Southwest Africa and creating Boer republic. This news purporting to come from an excellent authority was dis tributed to the German press by the Hanseatie press bu"aau, and is accept ed as true by leading Berlin journals.
 Andrew De Wet, who is a merchant of Windhoek, is described as having arranged with the rebel natives to make common cause with them. About 15,000 Boers are said to be in German South west Africa, one-quarter of whom are organized. Considerable quantities of arms were seized at De Vets house.. Although the arrests were made on Au- gust 31, nothing was reported by cable to the newspapers, doubtless on1account of the censorship.
 Andrew De Wet married a daughter of Prussian army officer. -

NEW RUSSIAN LOAN;
French Bankers and Other Financiers
 Discussing Details.

Paris, Oct 3.-Bankers and other f. nanciers are now discussing the details of the new Russian loan, the first an nouncement of which was given in these dispatches eight days ago The Temps referring to the subject this evening, says:
 Tt is understood that a committee of bankers and representatives of f. nancial institutions recently discussed the conditions of a new Russian loan, decided that should the issue occur simultaneously in France, Germany. England and the United States and Holland, the amount demanded would be 1,S0O, 100000 francs ($3s0, ,OOO O00), one half being reserved for the French market. Should, however, difficulties arise owing to differences in the quo- tation of Russian rentes in the vari- ous countries named, thereby prevent ing an agreement with reference to the issue price, the loan would be placed entirely in France, but the amount then would be only about 1,000,O 900 francs ($2O0,OOO, ,O00)
 ''The rate of interest it is said, will be per cent. with an approximate issue price of 90. The Russian gov ernment has requested French bankers and other f1nanciers to send represen- tatives to St. Petersburg immediately with full powers to arrange details. The issue will probably occur at the end of October"

STATEMENTS OF BANKS
 IN NEW YORK A FARCE
CHARGES MADE BY PRES. NASH OF CORN EXCHANGE
 BANK.

Declares Action of Trust Companies in
 Extending Large Credits Without
 Maintaining Adequate Cash Reserves
 Constitutes g Great Danger-says
 Arrangement Between Them and the
 Banks Should be Earnestly Dealt
 With-SitnatiOn Throughout Country
 May Become Fraught With Danger.
 New York, Oct. 3-Charges that the statement of the condition of New York banks issued weekly has become farce and that the action of trust companies in extending large credits without maintaining adequate cash reserves con- stitutes great danger were made be- fore the Clearing House association to- day by the president of the Corn Ex- change bank, William A. Nash. The Corn Exchange bank is one of the most important financial institutions of the city, having average deposits of about $40,000,000,
 MT. Nash denounced the existing state of affairs by which trust compa- nies, operating outside of the clearing house, and not subject to it's rules, are not obliged to maintain the cash re- serve of one-fourth of the sum of de- osits, which reserve is required of national banks by federal law and of other clearing house banks by the rules of that association. MT. Nash urged that measures be taken to bring the trust companies undsr the regulations of the clearing house. .:. .....
 MT, Nash alluded to the estrange- ment which now exists between the banks and trust companies. This con dition, he said, will have to be earnestly dealt with, or the situation throughout the country would be fraught with danger It was his opion that the trust companies ought to be made full fedg- ed members of the Clearing House as- sociation, or, failing that, they could be made to clear through banks of the clearing house, as is now done by non member banks. He suggested that per- haps the rules of the association deal ing with trust companies may be too harsh in their reserve requirements, that the trust companies ought to be accorded the same privileges as those granted to state banks. Regarding the weekly bank statement, which, in his opinion, was now sadly inadequate, MT. Nash suggested, that it be changed so as to make clear in separate tables the condition of the national banks. the state banks and the trust companies. After much discussion resolution was unanimously adopted directing the E clearing house committee to take the matter under consideration with a view to effecting the results advocated by Mir, Nash.

RECORD PRESSURE ON BANK
DEMANDS ON THE IMPERIAL
 INSTITUTION OF GERMANY.

Greatest at End of Last Quarter Ever Experienced - Deterioration of the Status of the Bank Not Less Than
 $135, ,75O,OO0-LiabiIities Had Been In-
 creasing With Slight Interruption
 Since Middle of Year-Advance in Discount Rate.
 Berlin, Oct. ,3.-The return of the I'm perial Bank of Germany issued to-day
 breaks all previous records by far. The outgo proves to have been much heav- fer than the highest anticipations of the market and the deterioration of the status amounts to not less than $135, 750.O0O.
 Herr Koch, president of the bank, in proposing to-day an advance in the rate of, discount from to per cent. informed the central committee that the pressure at the end of the quarter
 was the greatest ever experienced. The liabilities, he said, had been increasing with but slight Interruptions since the
 middle of the year, and the outlay in discounts and advances on. treasury
 bills now reached $416, ,75O, ,O00, being the
 highest in the history of the institution 1 and 5S,000000 above 1904. The metal stock was the smallest since the end of 1 September, 1900, while the banks un- covered notes now reached $2S0 000, 900, the highest ever known. The metallic covering notes had sunk to 4S 1-2 per cent, but the rates of exchange would not permit the exportation of gold. 1 Conditions at other money centers
 President Koch said, suggested a cau- 1 tious advance of the rate by a full
 per cent, which was necessary for the 1 protection of the gold stock. | President Koch pointed out that ow- l ing to unprecedented pressure upon the bank yesterday the first weekly return i for October would not show much im-
 provement, since the liquidation of bills would be counterbaIanced by the with ! drawals of deposits therefor, and ii would not be advisable to wait until ! the next return before marking up the rate. The recent action of the bank ol England in increasing it's rate was also
 referred to as reason for the pro-
 posed advance, which the committee ! agreed to.
 l The market is now looking with re-
 newed interest to the Bank of England
 to see whether it will be able to replen. l ish the gold stock without further ad- vance in the rate.
 The situation here is partly due tc
 heavy speculation on the boerse, and
 President Koch plainly intimates that 1 the action of the Imperial. bank to-day
 was intended to put brake upon ex- ! cessive speculation,

 Show the Late Secretary of States Regard for Him.
 New York, Oct. 3-Herbert W. Bow en, former American minister to Vene- zuela, tonight issued the following statement:
 Woodstock, Conn.,, Oct. 3, 1905.
 'In answer to the letters that were exchanged recently by President Roosevelt and MT. Loomis in regard to Mr. Hay and published in yesterdays papers, have to say only this: After I had sent to Washington all of the doc uments which I found in the legation at Caracas relating to MT. Loomis, received letter from Mir. Hay stating I have been greatly surprised and pained in reading the documents you sent me- The following month he wrote to me a letter containing these friendly words: I have always taken your part, not only from personal liking but from conviction of your merits, your ability, your courage and your in- tegrity.' From high official of the department of state, received letter written this last April stating 'Secre- tary Hay remains your staunch friend. From the same high official, have in my possession a letter dated July g., 1905 q8 days after I was dismissed from the diplomatic service by Presi- dent Roosevelt), stating: T had a few words with MT. Hay, the day before he left Washington for N. H. (New Hampshire), and he spoke of MT. Bow en in the same kindly and affectionate manner he always did
 Everyone who knew MT. Hay knows that he could not possibly have been a friend to a man like Mir L.oomis, and that no power on earth could have in- American official who refused to shield corruption.
 Tn conclusion-In order to show President Roosevelt's attitude toward MT .Loonis, will simply quote my last remark to him and his to me: MT. President: You will remember that af- ter II sent to you all the information I had about MT. Loomis, you offered me a promotion that was intended to lead to an anbassadorship. Well he an swered. I would have done a great deal to hush up the scandal. ,
