CHAPTER XIII.


This was all that David told us. We
saw, indeed. very little Of him after this
day. He took what we gave him without
a word Of thanks, and he did not pre-
tend the least interest in either of us or
our doings or our welfare. Yet he had
known both of US all his life, and he was
but i've or six years older. A strange
return! Knowing now all that / know,
l am certain that he was dazed and con-
founded, first at finding his uncle alive,
and next at the reception he met with.
He was thinking of these things and of
that new plan Of his, yet imperfect, By
which he could wreak revenge upon his
uncle. This made him appear duller and
more stupid than was his nature.
We sat waiting for more experiences.
but none came. How, for instance, one
would have been pleased to inquire, came
an honest Devonshire man to consort
with gang Of fellows who had all
done something" and were rowing and
tramping about the country ready to do
something else. Before David lost his
head he used to drink, but not with
rogues and tramps. Yet now he confess
led without any shame to having been

RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE
DENIED TO RUSSIANS

ST. Petersburg, Dec. 23.-The en-
peror and his cabinet late last night
reached a final decision regarding the
election law, deciding against uni
versal and equal suffrage and in favor
Of the extension Of the law promul-
gated Aug. 10 last, to include, In addi-
ton to the small land owners in the
country, the workmen and the edu-
Gated classes and the small rent pay
ers in the cities. The details of this
low were covered at the time in these
dispatches.
The douma will be convoked in
March.
In high government circles the
greatest confidence Is expressed that
the general strike will fail.
SO far as st. Petersburg Is con.
cerned the battle certainly is going
against the revoluntionaries.
Unless better results are obtained
elsewhere or the fight enters IN ais
tinctly new phase the leaders will be
compelled to beat general retreat
in order to save their prestige.
In spite of the Herculean efforts OF
the local chiefs to cheer on their lor
lowers, the past forty-eight hours
have not produced any extension of
the strike.
What was gained yesterday by the
strike of printers, which was incom'
plete, was Offset by the return to work
of 10000 men in the Seminovsky mills
and the announcement that 12,00C
men Of the Potiloff Iron. works would
go back Monday.

1t was held by the commission that
the absence OF contract which es.

he advanced for asking that his sale

SHONTS To Be AN
ISSUE IN Tie SENATE

Washington, Dec. 21.-Confrma-
tons by the senate Of the nomina
tons of members of the isthman
canal commission were reconsidere6
yesterday in executive session, and
motion was adopted calling upon
the president for the return of the
notification of the senate's previous
action. When this has been done
the nominations again will be re-
mittee for consideration.
Before the decision was reached &c
reconsider the vote, charges Of "rail
reading" nominations were made by
several minority senators, and count
er charges that the protestants were
proceeding in a manner not pre-
scribed by the rules of the senate
were made by republican senators
The discussion developed the fact
that there had been no poll of the
canal committee on the nominations
in question, and as result objection
to reconsideration was withdrawn
1t is generally understood that the
purpose Of minority senators in ask
ing to haye the nominations returned
is to permit protest against Chair
man Theodore p. Shonts holding a
position on the commission and the
presidency of the Glover Leaf rail-
road at the same time.
The controversy In the senate re-
suited from a motion to take up the
nomination of ]. B. Bishop, as
member of the commission, which
was only sent to the senate yester-
day. Objection was made and Sena-
tor Morgan followed this by moving
to reconsider the action of the senate
in confirming members Of the com
mission. A rule Of the senate pro-
vides that when a nomination is con-
firmed or rejected any senator vot-
ing in the majority may move for a
reconsideration con the same day on
which the vote was taken or on
either of the next two days of actual
executive session Of the senate"

THREE BANKS
FORCED OUT

Chicago, Dec. 1S.-Three of the
largest financial institutions in the
west, the Chicago Ma lonal bank, the
Home Savings bank and the Equit-
able Trust company, all of them con-
trolled by John r. Walsh of this city,
and in great measure owned by him,
suspended operations yesterday. Their
affairs will be liquidatcd as rapidly
as possible and they will go out of
business.
Mr.. Walsh, who WIS the president
of the Chicago National bank and of
the Equitable Trus: company. and all
the ether officers and directors of the
Chicago National ban,. have resigned.
National Bank Examiner G. H. Bos-
worth has succeeced Mr.. Walsh at
the head of the Chicago National
bank, and the places of the directors
have been filed by the appointment
by the Chicago clearing house. Back

pledged their resources that every
depositor shall be paid to the last
cent, and that no customer of any
one of the three institutions shall
lose anything by reason OF the sus-
pension Had this action not been
taken by the banks OF the city dis
astrous panic must have followed in
the financial world.
AS II was only the effect on the
financial world in this city was the
decnne on the local stock exchange
of 1-2 in the price Of National Bis
cult common stock. The National
Biscuit company had employed the
Equitable Trust as transfer agent,
and had besides dealings with the
Chicago National bank, but 1t is not
affected by the failure in the slight
est degree. The closing of the two
banks had the effect also of shutting
off all demand on the local exchange
for bank stocks, none of them being
purchased.
The liabilities of the three institu
tons are estimated in the aggregate
at S26,000,000. Against this amount
the banks and the trust company
have resources that are, on a con.
sentative estimate, worth $16,000,000.
The bonds of the Southern Indiana
Railroad comptny are estimated by
Mr.. Walsh as being worth $4,000, 900.
They are considered by the controller,
state auditor and the clearing house
committee to be worth a little more
than half that sum. Their value is
a matter to be determined in the fu
ture, and the presidents OF the local
banks admit that If the estimate OF
Mr.. Walsh is found to be correct the
two banks and the trust company
will not only pay all of their debts
but leave surplus besides.
