WASHINGTON, D. O., March 9.-Sen- atOr John F. Miller, of California, died tt hIs residence on Connecticut Avenue in this ciIy. at 20 o'clock yesterday afternoon, after a prolonged illness. While hls condition has been regarded as precariOus for many weeks past, his death to-day was sudden and unexpect- ed. At no time since his arrlval m this city to attend the session of this congress has be been regarded as entirely out ot danger, but he showed such won ierful recuperative powers and rallied so often from attacks which were re- gArded at the time as necessarily fatal that hls friends had been enc Juraged and even looked for his ultimate recOv- cry. His death was the result of a complication of disorders, Rr- sng primarily from severe
 wound in the eye received dur ing the war. 23 years ago. The bull let renamed in his head about l2 years | before 1t could be removed and the
 wound sapped hIs strength and
 rendered him an easy victim to disease.
 Loss of sleep debilItated hIs system and
 asthmEtic symptoms kept him III con
 stant pain. Brights disease subse- quently began its insidious work snd
 then drOpsical disorders were develop
 ed, but through all his illness
 the senator showed such nerve and vIli power that his phy ysIcians were encour- age q to hope Ee might possibly recover. | Several operations were performed ana
 seemed to give much relief. When the
 storm passed over the city Sunday
 night the senator complained of feeling
 much worse of asthma Ills physIcians
 we're quickly summoned and their stten- lion seemed tO have built him up again
 the next morning. Dr. Pope made a
 careful examInatiOn of the patient and
 reported bis condition as more favorable
 than 1t had been for several days. The senator remained quiet up to about F
 o'clock, when he became restless and asked for the doctor. 4 messenger was
 sent for Dr. Pope, but before he arrived
 MT. Miller had passed away. He WIS
 conscious to the last and took q sad
 farewell of his wife, who had been at his
 bedside all day. Mir. and Mrs. John M. Davis had called in a few minutes
 before and were also present when he died. The senator leaves a wife and
 one daughter. The remains will be taken
 to California for burial.
