$4,000 IN GOLD
Paid by Cudahy fer Return
of Kidnapped Son.
Abductors Brighten Parents by Fierce
Threats in Letters.
Mr.. Cudahy Now Offers S25 900 Reward iol
the Abduct0rs.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 20.-There is re-
the wealthy packing house owner. Ed
ward Cudahy, Jr., who was kidnapped
Tuesday evening, after being held e
hours for ransom of 81, 900 in gold
which the young mans father unhesi-
tatingly paid, has been returned to his
family and, tonight. the boy and his
parents are receiving congratulations
from relatives and friends throughout
the country.
Notwithstanding the entire police and
detective force of the city, several
Pinkertons from Chicago and half a
hundred of Mr.. Cudahys own men
have been searching diligently for a
clue looking to the capture of the out
laws ever since the return of the young
man, upai II O'Clock tonight, nothing
has developed to give the least idea of
the identity of the men who perpetrat-
ed the crime.
Young Cudahy says there We're six of
the men but that all wore masks when
ever in his presence and that the only
one he would attempt to identify was
the one who kept guard over him dur
ing his incarceration in the lonely
building in which he was held. He
thinks he could recognize this man S
voice. as it differed much from that Of
any of the others.

STORMY SESSION
Of ENJOYS at Pekin Over Dis
closure of Proceedings.
Ii Hung Chang Informed of Doings
Of Every Meeting.
Note TO Be Signed. Last Night. and to Be Pre-.
sented. Saturday.

Pekin, Dec. 20.-Yesterdays meet
ing of the foreign ENJOYS was pro-
tracted and somewhat stormy owing to
the desire to discover the disclosures
10 the Chinese what every minister has
pledged to keep secret. Ii Hung Chang
Invariably knows within two or three
hours of the close of a meeting what
has happened.
The ministers admit that yesterday
was a critical moment for the prelim-
mary joint note, as it was felt that
point had been reached where, if they
did not agree, other difficulties might
occur AS a matter of fact there was
threat by one of the ministers that
his government would have other mod
ification and that he had not reached
a decision.
A meeting of the ministers was held,
tonight, to sign the note which prob
ably, Saturday. will be delivered by all
the ministers to Ii Hung Chang and
Prince Ching with a request that they
reply as soon as possible.
The original note will be written in
French. Mr.. Conger and Sir Ernest
Satow will enclose an English transla-
ton, while Il Chinese copy will also be
attached.
Four days will elapse before a reply
can be expected, owing to the necessity
of communicating with the Chinese
court
The modification proposed by the
British government was that until Chi
ma had proved that she intended com
plying with the terms of the note and
full satisfaction to the pow
ers. no hope could be held out that the
of the province of Chilli
by all the forces would cease.

WI IS NERVOUS.
The Absence Of News from Pekin Frets the
Chinese Minister.

Washington, Dec. 20-Minister WI
called at the state department, today.
to talk over the Chinese situation with
Secretary Hay. He had no information
from Pekin and evidently was very
nervous at the tedious delays that are
being expressed in initiating direct ne
gotiations between the ministers and
the Chinese government.
1t is understood here that the agree
ment in it's present form does not name
any specific sum or sums to be paid by
the Chinese government as indemnity
on account of the suppression of the
Boxer movement and the destruction
of the foreign missions.
That question is left to be settled by
negotiations between the ministers and
the Chinese plenipotentiaries, with the
provisions for it's reference to the
Hague tribunal in the event of a fail
ure through that means.

MUST HAVE FOUR!
Maine Must Not Lose Repre-
sentative in Congress.
Great Fight Of Entire Delegation to
Save Her Representation.
Minority Presents Report and Urges Burleiqh
Bill Tor $50 Members.

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 20.-(Spec-
iaD.-The case Of the six members of
the House committee on census, who
are fighting for membership of $50
during the next decade, is compactly
presented in their report which was
filed. today.
The report was drawn by Gov Bur
leigh, who with the other members Of
the Maine delegation, is leaving moth
ing undone to defeat the Hopkins bill
and assure the Pine Tree State the
same representation of four members
as at present. The report in full fol-
lows.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1900-12-21

This bill is based upon the tables
submitted by the director of the census
upon ratio of one representative for
every 2S0.S6S of population. Under their
bill there is the following loss and gain
in states respectively:
Lose one-Indiana. Kansas, Ken
lucky, Maine. Nebraska, Ohio. South
Carolina, Virginia
Gain one-Illinois. Louisiana. Mime
sofa, New Jersey, New York, West Vir-
gnia.
Gain two-TeXas.
The anomalous character of this pro-
posed appOrtionment as well as its
ed by the fact that it is necessarily
based. in part, upon majority fractions,
and yet Colorado with a majority frac-
ton Of 121. 1867, Florida with a majority
fraction of 1lO,S07. and North Dakota
with a majority fraction of 1O5.5S6 do
not receive representatives based up
on such majority fraction. while every
other state with a majority fraction re-
ceives a representative for such ma
jority fraction.
We believe that every state should be
treated alike with reference to it's ma
jority fraction. as no valid reason has
been or can be assigned to the discrim-
inatiOn between them. We also believe
that in the new apportionment no state
should lose a representative. We there
fore recommend a House consisting of
1856 members.
In reaching this number we have
adopted the method used by the COM
mittee and referred to by the director
of the census in his letter to the chair
man Of the committee as "the first
method Which has been followed
from 1850 to $780," with variations of
detail" and in making the variations
Of detair' we have followed the prece-
dent established by the House in 1872

BRET HARTE's ARRIVAL.
A Pistol Hall Nearly Spoiled His
First Drink In the Diggings.

First Drink In the DigEfngs.
II entered the barroom. 1t was crowd
ed with miners and traGers, and few
smartly dressed professional looking men.
Here again my vanity led me into extrav-
agance. L could not bear to address the
important, te-shirr-sleeved and dia-
mond-pinned barkeeper as mere boyish
suppliant for information. 1 was silly
enough to demand drink and laid down,
alas! another quarter.
II had asked my question, the barkeep-
err had handed me the decanter, and l
had poured out the stuff with as much
ease and grown up confidence as could
assume, when a singular incident &C.
CURED. AS it had some bearing upon my
fortune, may relate it here.
1.-THE ceiling of the saloon was support
ed by a half dozen wooden columns about
eighteen inches square, standing in line
parallel with the counter OF the bar and
about two feet from 1t. The front of the
bar was crowded with customers, when
suddenly, to my establishment, they, one
and all, put down their glasses and hur-
riedly backed into the spaces between the
columns. At the same moment a shot
was fired from the street through the
large open doors that stood at right an
giles with the front of the counter and the
columns.
1.-THE bullet raked and splintered the
holdings of the counter front, but with
from the upper. end of the bar, and then,
for the first time, l became aware that
two men with leveled revolvers were
shooting at each other through the sa-
loon.
1.-The bystanders in range were fully
protected by the wooden columns; the
barkeeper had ducked below the counter
at the first shot. Six shots We're ex-
changed by the duelists, but as far as I
could see nobody was fiurt A mirror
was smashed. and my glass had rart of
it's rim carried clearly away by the third
shot. and its contents spilled.
II had remained standing near the
counter, and j presume L may have been
protected by the columns; but the whole
thing passed so quickly and / was so
utterly absorbed in it's dramatic novelty
that 1 cannot recall having the slightest
sensation of physical fear. Indeed l had
been much more frightened in positions
of less peril.
"My only concern, and this was para
mount. was that l might betray by any
word or movement my youthfulnesS, as
constituent or unfamiliarity with such
an experience. I think that any shy. vain
school boy will understand this, and world
probably feel as I did So strong was this
feeling that while the string of gunpow-

somewhat slowly and diffidently:

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,

the most important factors in all mod
ern shells, whethe~ lyddite or others, and
1t is comforting 10 find by practical ex-
perience that shells supplied by foreign
countries-and presumably Of the latest
and best make--should be so deficient in
this respect. The fuses used in our SER
vices are of numerous types, and all
proved to be thoroughly trustworthy and
perfect, and the credit for this is entirely
due to the energy and ingenuity Of the
chief and his staff at the Royal Woolwich
arsenal.
When the history of this war comes to
be written 1t will DO found that whatever
success is scored has been largely contrib
uted to by these men. who are now work.

ated when 1t is known that. quite apart
