ANOTHER MAN GONE WRONG.
Pardoned for One Crime and Now
Guilty Of Another.

SEATTLE. Wash,, December 3.-Financlal
circles were somewhat agitated yesterday by
the statement that w. r. Thornell, cashier
of the Boston National Bank in this city

A run commenced on the bank, but was
stopped in short time by the announce
ment that the shortage had been made good.
He is now sick with typhoid fever, and the
amount of the shortage is not known. He
will not be arrested
ThOrnel came here in 80. under the name
of Raymond Hope, and was employed two
years by the railroad company, when de-
tective from Colorado arrested him on the
charge of embezzlement. He was taken to
Denver, convicted and sent to the peniten-
tiary, but was Immediately pardoned.
He came'back here and held various rail
road positions until he rose to be manager of
the Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern railroad,
which position he resigned to become cash

of wealthy citizen several years ago, and
since her death has been living a fast life.

Points of Difference Between the
House and Senate EIectIcn RilIs.

Points of Difference Between the
House and Senate Election Bills.
WASHINGTON, December 3-In the Sem
ate today, in presenting a petition for an
amendment to the tariff bill in relation to a
rebate on manufactured tobacco, Mr.. ALI
son said the conferees on the part of both
houses had agreed to that section of the tariff
bill, as the conference report would disclose
but that it had been omitted in enrolment
He had no doubt the matter would receive
early attention.
Mr.. Cullom introduced bill to reduce let
ter postage to one cent. Referred
A long and interesting discussion took
place on the subject of the threatened Indian
war, apropos of a joint resolution to issue
arms to the states of North and South Da-
kota and Nebraska Mr.. Voorhees, having
charged that the situation was due to the
fact that the Indians are being starved, was
replied to by Messrs. Dawes and Pierce.
The debate was interrupted at O'Clock by
the election bill coming up as unfinished
business.
MIR. Hoar said that as he had made few
comprehensive remarks to the Senate when
he reported the bill, near the close of the
last session, he would not now open the dis
cussiOD.
Mr.. Gray said he did not discover in the
when he heard IT, how the Senate amend
ment differed from the bill as it came from
the House.
Mr.. Hoar explained that the House bill
contained proposal for a revision of the
laws 10 relation to summoning and empanel-
ling juries. Although he supposed every
Senator thought that the spresent system
might be Improved, yet it was thought by
the Senate committee not wise to incorporate
a provision on that subject in this bill: This
provision was stricken out. The bill con-
tanned very careful provision to prevent ex-
cessive fees Oh the part of local officers.
The Senate bill omitted great many regu-
lations In regard to officers. These were the
maip points of difference between the House
bill and the Senate substitute.
Mr.. Turpie spoke in opposition to the bill
and the Senate adjourned.
After adjournment the Democratic Sena-
tors went into caucus. AS near as could be
ascertained, they decided to prolOng debate
in the hope of killing the elections bill

the following statement:
"a most remarkable faith cure has recent
ly been accomplished at Bryant's Pond, on
the person of Charles A. Brooks, member
of the M. E. church and class leader. About
four weeks ago he was thrown from his car
riage upon the rocks and terribly hurt, his

was feared he would never recover. He lay
helpless in bed, enduring intense pain In the
head. back and limbs, unable to lift his head
from the pillow or move in any way without
suffering intensely. Until last Wednesday
he thus suffered, and as visited him on that
day, things looked dark and disc0uragiDg,

DANCING LIKE WHITE FOLKS.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, December 3.-Au-

Lieutenant McComb, in command of the
scouts at Fort Reno, was in the city last eve

but they were like those Of white people, for
pleasure merely, and had no hostile signifi-
cance whatever.
Jacob Odmire, receiver of the land office
at Kingfsher, telegraphs that there is no ex.
citement among the Indians, and that those
who have been participating in the dances
have returned peaceably to their homes and
give no signs of uneasiness. A special de-

COPYRIGHT BILL PASSED.
A MlaJority In Its Favor Found In the
House.

House.
WASHINGTON, December 3-The House
today proceeded to the consideration of the
copyright bill. Mr.. McAdoo of New Jersey
said the moral sense of the American people
would be outraged unless this bill was
passed. An overwhelming majority of the
American people were in favor of honesty,
and the first point in favor of this bill was
that ii was an honest measure. The second
point was that it was an American bill, and
would give the American people American
books by American authors.
Mr.. Kerr Of Iowa opposed the bill. He
characterized its ideas as something intangi-
BILE, referring to the pending measure as a
great tariff law. 1t was a law for the pro-
lection of printers not protective tariff,
but prohibitive tariff.
Mr.. Cummings of New York declared the
bill was demanded not only by the National
Typographical Union, with $4,000 members,
and by the Knights of Labor.
Mr. ButterwOrth of OHIO supported the
bill. It provided, he said, for the recogni-
llon OF rights OF property, and Its mission in
this behalf ought to find favor with any
man who believed in protecting the rights of
property.
Mr.. Peters of Kansas moved to recommt
the bill with instructions to the committee
on patents to report 1t back with an amend
ment limiting the life of.the copyright to IA
years
Mr.. Breckenridge of Arkansas moved to
amend the instructions by instructing the
committee to provide for the importation of
Oisi, OooKs OF ioreigp authers at the rate now
provided by law. This was lost. Mr.. Pc
ters,s motion was lost. and the question re-
CURED cur TO the passage of the bill. The roll
