FOUND HIS MISSING DAUGHTER.
Christmas VIII he Glad Day. for a
West Virginia Man.

KENOSIIA, Wis, Dec. 23.-There was
a happy family reunion in Kenosha to-
day, when John Lane, of Phillip, w Va +,
found his daughter, whom he had
,nourned as lost for six years. The ro-
nance started with the girl falling In
love with a ran named Fischer, whom
her parents objected to. The result
was an elopement. >The young lover and
his bride came West, and located in
Chicago, and from that time until today
the father had never seen his daughter
Two years ago Fischer died, leaving
the young widow with a small Child.
Forced to earn her living, the mother
placed the child in a home in Chicago,
and in her wanderings Tor employment
at last located in Kenosha, where She
has been for over a year.
A few months ago the mother of Mrs
Fischer (nee Miss Edna -Lane), for that
was her maiden name, died, aud the IA
ther, left wifeIess and childless, re-
solved to 81 out into the world and
search for his missing daughter, in hopes
that she was still alive. Chance took
him to Chicago. His search resulted In
his finding where she had been en-
ployed there and that she had come TO
this city. With her address it was an
easy matter to find her in Kenosha, and
the happy reunion resulted.
Father and daughter left this morning
for their old home in West Virginia,
but will stop on the way to get her
child from the home in Chicago. They
will then proceed to their home, where
they expect to arrive in time to spend
Christmas together.

Charles M. Miller, assistant engineer on
the Montana division of the Great
Northern road, was struck by Selby
car at Fourth and Exchange streets,
shortly after o'clock yesterday after
noon and almost Instantly killed.
AS near as could be ascertained he was
walking across Fourth street when a
west-bound car struck him and he was
knocked unconscious.
He was picked up and officer P New
combe called for the patrol wagon, and
the injured man was taken to the city
hospital
1t was thought at first that he was
not very badly hurt, but when they ar
rived at the hospital the man was dead.
He had short mark, which looked like
a scratch on the right side of his head
about two inches from the eye.
Coroner Nelson was notified and the
remains taken to the county morgue,
where they were viewed by him. The
coroner stated that the dead mans skull
had been fractured and intimated that
he would probably hold an inquest this
afternoon.
Mr. Miller was a brother of DR.. Clinton
c. Miller, living at 413 East Tenth street,
and of Nelson D. Miller, formerly chief
civil engineer of the Great Northern,
and now a bridge contractor, living at
551 Westminster street. He also left a

He was born in Vernon, VT, and was
fifty-two years old He came to st.
Paul with his folks forty years ago and
used to sell papers on the streets in
1861. He had been working as a civil
engineer for the past twenty years, and
once worked for the Northern Pacific.
He has been with the Great Northern
for several years, and had been assist
ant engineer for the past three years.
TIe came home about two weeks ago to
spend the holidays, and appeared to be
in the hest of health
Mr.. Miller was single, and well liked
by all his friends His sudden death
came as a shock to his two brothers,
who viewed the remains at the morgue.
The mother is very old and feeble, and
it was thought best not to tell her and
his sister the sad news until this morn
ing.
The arrangements for the funeral will
be made today.
On account of the fact that deceased
was not thought to have been very badly
injured at the time OF the accident, the
police did not take the name of the
motorman or the number of the car.

LONDON, Dec. A.-The Times, in an
editorial on President McKinley's de-
cision to submit the Hay-Pauncefote ca
nal treaty to Great Britain, reproaches
him with Shifting dangerous respon-
sibilfty'' on the British government, and
says:
THE president must bear the RESPONSE
bility for any friction that may ensue
The amended treaty is a bargain to
which We cannot agree, and to which no
reasonable American who takes the
trouble to reflect upon our side of the
question can expect us to agree.
When Senator Lodge announced that
Americans expect Europe to keep out
of America, he knows that England is a
great North American power, and means
to remain such power.
If the Hay-Pauncefote treaty is not
adopted in a form acceptable to us, we
shall stand quietly by our indubitabIe
dights under the C1ayton-Bulwer treaty

Reports were in circulation here tonight
that one of the kdnapers of young Cud-

SO far as can be definitely learned this
report had its origin in the fact that an
Armenian named Albie, who had a con-
siderable sum of gold in his possession,
was taken from an Illinois Central train
at Fort Dodge Wednesday night. 1t is
said, however, that the man had met
with an injury on the train, and that he
was taken to a hospital in Fort Dodge
He attracted attention in the hospital
from the fact that he carried so much
gold. 1t is stated, however, that he left
Omaha some hours before Mr.. Cudahy
turned over the ransom.

circles discussed with interest today the
provisions of the joint agreement which
have been signed by the ministers of the
powers at Pekin for presentation to the
Chinese plenipotentiaries The hope is
generally expressed that the Chinese plen-
ipotentaries will act promptly in consid-
GRAFTON of the note and thus pave the
way for the negotiations for a prompt
settlement of the difficulty.
To Mr.. WI, the Chinese minister, the
demands of the powers are a keen disap-
pointment and are not such as in his
opinion should have animated the gov
ernments which have the ultimate best
interests of the Chinese empire at heart.
He regards them as harsh and severe,
but expresses the hope that they will
be discussed by both sides in an AMIGA
BILE and conciliatory spirit and that the
powers eventually will ameliorate many
of the Objectionable features.
