AFTER TEN YEARS.
The Extraordinary Career of
VIM. A. Bushnell.
Swallowed by Detectives for
Ten Years.
He is Captured at Last in South
America.

New YORK, Dec. S.-Wm. A. Bush.
nell, who ten years ago was bookkeeper
for the law firm of Butler, Stillman &
Hubbard of this city, has been arrested in
Santiago, Chill, and will be brought to
New York for trial on a charge of stealing
and hYpothecating securities which the
firm paid $50. 900 to recover when the
theft was discovered.
The arrest of Bushnell brings to light
an intricate problem upon which Inspector
Byrnes and his men have been working
for a long time. On March 10 Inspector
Byrnes received a letter from f. w. Jones
of this city, general manager of the West
Coast Telephone company of South
America, enclosing a photograph of one
Gerald +. Hanson, who. while acting as
general agent of the company in 1886 and
1887, embezzled | 5000. 1t was thought
that Hanson had once lived in New York
and MIR. Jones wanted his antecedents
looked up. Hanson had lived for seven
years in Santiago and had become one of
its most distinguished citizens when he
was given the position of trust by the tele-
phone company.
When his embellishments were discov.
cred he was arrested, but Immediately re-
leased on bail. Jones stated that he was
popular and that conviction was doubtful.
After six months careful search it was
finally learned hat Hanson and Bushnell
were one and the same man. The records
OF the New York district attorney repealed
the old indictmeno against Bushnell, ex-
tradition proceedings were taken. and IN
Nov. 3 Detective Sergeant Reilly started
for South Am,rira. He reached Santiago
Dec. l. The criminal proceedings in
Chill were abandoned and to-day, after a
search Of a week, Reilly te~legraphed:
Have arrested Will telegraph when
| leave"
The detective will be obliged to keep
his prisoner under the English or Ameri.
can flag. He will sail under the former
to the bay Of Panama, transfer him to an
American man-of-war there, and wait for
the steamer for San Francisco.

A BRUTAL TEACHER.
Alleged Ill Treatment of an
Indian Girl.
A Pupil of a Government School
at White Earth,
She is Brutality Beaten for a
Trivial 0ffense.

ST.. PAUL, Dec. s.-A terrible story of
brutal treatment Of a crippled Indian
girl by one of the teachers in the govern
ment boarding school at White Earth has
Just reached here. Two weeks ago Lizzie
Seal with a couple of girl companions,
after school hours, visited some friends
who lived near the school. On their re-
turn to school they were met by the prin-
cipal, who was very angry. He carried a
walking stick and at once began to use it
on the back and shoulders of the Seal
girl Her clothing was poor protection
against the blows of the enraged teacher
who, it is alleged, broke his SAINT to pieces
on her shoulders.
Alter the beating she crawled away to
a friends house where she passed the
night, and was later taken home, where
she las been confined to bed ever since.
The girl is now in a very critical condition
and her body a mass of sores. Her
friends are very indignant and propose to
bring the case before the proper authori-
ties.

the Post, wrote an article which obtained
wide circulation, setting forth that Rep.
resentative Martin of Texas blew out the
gas in his room in the hotel. This after

from IL to 20, were grouped together and
showed their delight at the second defeat
their club has given the cadets this sea-
son. The cadets, maddened by the college
boys cries and the tauuts of their oppo.
nents, formed in a solid phalanx and
marched down on the st. Johns hackers.
The college boys were rushed back about
twenty yards, when they made a stand
and a regular set to began, in which eyes
were blackened, heads knocked. teeth
vent down threats and little boys were
p cked up and thrown pellmell into the
struggling mass OF their comrades.

sumed that a formal apology will be ten

New YORK, Dec. S.-The stock
market was again feverish, with wide and
rapid fluctuations and somewhat weak to-
day, most of the list showing material
losses for the day, while in many cases
the lowest prices of the week were
reached. Among the larger operators
there was a disposition shown to let the
market take care OF i4self, and while some
of the commission houses were moderate
BUYERS in the early trading, the demand
was soon appeased and traders assumed
full control. There was a free liquidation
OF long accounts among that element, and
as no support was forthcoming prices
yielded readily and the bears then came
to the front and a decided weakness re
suited over the entire list.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

The grain and grass crops of the W est have
direct influence in the Eastern and Southern
communities of demand where our section OF
the Valley furnishes large portion of the sup
ply. It is still too soon to form a correct esti-
mate OF the probable yields of these products
in Western fields. Seeding in the Spring
wheat belt has been very backward, particu-
ally SO in two Of the largest sections ofproduc-
tion-Minnesota and Dakota. Sowing in most
of the Wlnter-wheat States was late, and the
seed went into ground poorly prepared. 1t
does not In the main pl esent healthy ap-
pearance, and 1t will be three weeks yet before
anything like correct eatimate can be made
of the prospect. The last Of the Winter and
the Spring months have brou sht good rains to
that region, but there is no excess of moisture
In all the drought-stricken sections of the two
last years.
1t has been for some time manifest to the
commercial interests OF New York that they
were not holding their usual relations of the
past to the trade of the West and falling very
far short of a proportionate increase with that
region in Its rapidly expanding production
and commerce. Many of the Western States
which were hitherto almost wholly tributary
to New York are now reaching ports on the
Atlantic coast with their outward, and re-
ceiving their inward trade at much less rates
OF transportation than. govern the lines of
railroads runni ng from the West to New York.
Last week large meeting was held in New
York for the purpose OF recommending
policy which would not only restore what has
been lost, but settle rivalship in the FUTURE
Mayor Hewitt and other far-seeing men Of
that city are decided in their views and
recomm endations for an enlargement of the
canals, and guaranteeing the freedom of tran
sit to ali navigating them as the only means
by which New York is to maintain its rela-
and trrrf
well Its dependent manufacturing industries
with supplies.
