FINDS HIS DAUGHTER.
An Aged Mans Tramp from Mich
igan to Lewiston, Me-, Is
Rewarded,

There was touching scene at the
Lewiston (Me.) police station shortly
after seven o'clock the other evening,
when Michael Mcdonald, the old man
who has tramped from Michigan to
Maine in search Of his daughter, found
her, and the two, who alone are left Of
the Mcdonald family, were reunited.
Mr.. McDonald's story is a sad one.
Until about year ago he was a pros
porous farmer in Michigan. His wife
and four children were swept away by
black diphtheria. The sickness ate up
his property, and he was homeless and
friendless, his only living relative be-
ing the surviving daughter, whose ex-
act address he didn't know. He only
knew that she was in Maine somewhere,
and in spite of his 70 years he started
to tramp from Michigan to Maine. He
was first heard from in this state at
Waterville week ago, going from
there to Bangor. Then it was definitely
learned that his daughter was in Lewis
ton.
His daughters name is Sarah Crane,
and she is the wife of loom fixer who
recently moved to Lewiston from Low
ell, Mass. She herself is a mill opera
tive. She twas overjoyed at finding her
father, whom she did not know to be
in this part of the country.

REVOLUTION EXTENDING.
Port Au Prince 10 Calm-Relations Be-

Are still Cordial.

PORT AU PRINCE, Hayti, Aug. TO-
The latest news from Santo Domingo
says the revolutionary movement is
extending and that the province of
Vega is in arms. 1t is impossible to
obtain any details here. This city is
calm.
The relations between the United
States and Hayti are cordial. The
Haytian government has authorized
the erection of an American
meteorological station at Cape
Haytien. The permission to establish
such a station had been previously re-
fused and the fact that permission has
now been granted demonstrates
the extension of American influence in

RETURNS AND DEMANDS FARM
Kansan Explains His Mysterious Dis
appearance Five Years Ago
In an Asylum.

Charles Biggers, who lived north of
Independence, Kan, at the little town
of Fall River, disappeared about five
years ago, and nothing could be learned
of his whereabouts, although diligent
search was made. He left his farm in
possession of another man, who has
been living on it since and claims it as
his own. Biggers has just returned and
demanded his farm. He says he was ad-
judged insane at Nevada, Mo-, and has
been in the asylum greater part of the
time. He evidently was insane when he
disappeared, or was the victim Of foul
play, which caused his insanity. He
remembers distinctly up to the time Of
his disappearance, but from then until
the present time his mind is blank.

in Manila because American silver
IsNot Received at Custom House.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Aug. 1O.--Manila
advices received on the steamship EN-
press of Japan say that typhoons and
rains have turned the city. wet enough
at the best of times, into an immense
pond with cutters over foot deep in
water. Sampaloc district was COM
pletely flooded so that the people were
forced into the upper stories of the
houses. The police barracks were
completely surrounded and soldiers
stood guard and carried on patrol duty
in two feet of running water.
Hundreds of creeks that intersect the
city overfowed their banks and boats
were seen on dozen streets.
Adm. Watson had a narrow escape
on the Pasig. His launch was about to
pass under the puenta espana when
the roaring water caught it up and
jammed it broadside into stone pier,
breaking the funnel and tearing off the
gunwale.
The dreaded beri beri that in former
years created such havoc among the
Filipinos has made its appearance in
Bilibid prison.
Much grumbling is heard in Manila
because American silver is not received
at the custom house, nor is American
gold or bank notes. The existing
custom house regulations require
that all customs shall be paid in
Philippine currency. This leaves
no option for officials, because
rs long as there is change
or fuctutation in the relative values
of gold and silver, any official who &C.
cepts payment in any unauthorized
currency is liable to be called upon to
pay the difference out of his own
pocket. The post Office, on the other
hand, will not accept currency which is
compulsory at the customhouse unless
the stamp buyer is willing to be PEN
allied heavily.

BOSS OF CHICKEN THIEVES.
An Eastern Individual Owns Up TO
Having Stolen 1000 since the
Beginning of Spring.

The prize chicken thief, after four
months' immunity from arrest, has
been caught in Manchester, N. H., and
ingham county, wherein most of his
depredations were committed. He is
81 years old, and his name Is Albert o.
Smith. He says he never stole chickens
before this spring, but according to his
confession he has done little else since.
Assisted by his brother, Albert dressed
the stolen fowl at their place at Bunker
Hill, in the town of Auburn, and mar
keted them in Manchester. Albert says
he would take only the choicest sele-
tions in henhouse.
Like some noted highwaymen, Smith
disdained to rob the poor, and confined.
his depredations to the hen roosts Of
the well to do. He and his brother did
not respect the cloth, however, for
among their victims are clergymen, dea-
cons and schoolmasters. They never
robbed, except after long intervals, in
the same place. When arrested Albert
told Deputy Chief Cassidy that If he
would let him go he would give him
5000. The deputy was not trading.
Smith had money with him. He also
had a wagon load of fowls which he
was marketing, and the low price asked
led the marketmen to suspect him and
call the police. Inspector Hildreth did
the trick of fooling Albert into making
confession, or, as the police believe, a
partial confession, of what he had done
In stealing poultry. The roosts which
he robbed are scattered over the towns
of Londonderry, Raymond, Derry, Au-
burn, Chester, Gambia and Brentwood.
The victims number about 40 farmers or
villagers, and the number of chickens
stolen and sold by Smith and his broth
er foot up over 1000, making a couple
of tons of poultry. All these they have
killed, dressed and distributed among
the markets of Manchester.
Smith kept book telling where he
obtained the poultry and where he dis
posed of it, and was otherwise method
ical in his methods. How the precious
pair managed to make wholesale raids
on flocks as noisy as hens without dis
turbing the owners and how they trav-
eled long distances in the country with
out exciting suspicion are mysteries
which Albert declined to explain.

to the Federal Steel Trust with
its $2O0, 600, ,000, and the aggregate
of the capitalization of these trusts
