Lieut.. Miller's Disappearance.

Omcers OF the army are endeavoring to
find Second Lieut. Lloyd C. Miller of the LIST
Infantry. who, while engaged with troops
on guard at the tomb of eX-President Nc
Kinley. in the Westlawn cemetery near
Canton, Ohio, disappeared on the 4th inst,
and has not been seen or heard from since
There is no known reason for his conduct
as he was not involved in any apparent
trouble and was supposed to be satisfied
with his duties. Lieut.. Miller is native OF
Ohio and was an ordinary seaman in the
navy from May 81 TO August 81, 1883. In
September, 1899 he enlisted as private in
the 10Th Infantry, and showed such proh-
cheney in military affairs that in July, 1901,
he was commissioned second lieutenant in
the LIST Infantry and served with that regl-
nlent I'D to the time of his disappearance
II he does not report within three months
he will be dropped from the army as de-
Serter.

BANK wREcKER PARoLED.
Gov. Bliss Of Michigan Releases An
drews to Settle Bank Affairs.

A dispatch from Detroit, Mich, last night
says: Governor Bliss signed a parole for
Frank C. Andrews, former vice president
of the wrecked City Savings Bank of De-
troit Andrews has been confined in the
state prison since November 49, 1902. He
was convicted OF a rnisa pplfcation of the
funds of the bank.
The technical charge was in connection
with an $4,000 check, but the evidence intro
duced at the trial cover money and credit of
the bank to the amount of more than ST.
500, 0000, although the banks capital was
only $15O,00O. The City Savings Bank was
closed February 10, 1902, by the state bank
ing commissioner and the subsequent trial
of Andrews, who was. at the time of his ar
rest police commissioner of the city of De-
troit, was highly sensational. A formidable
array of legal talent was engaged in his de-
Tense, and ever since his Imprisonment I'M
ceasing and persistent efforts have been
made to secure his release.
TIL governors action is sharply criticised
by the prosecuting attorney of Wayne
county.
Governor Bliss said that In granting
parole to Andrews his action was due to his
investigation, which convinced him that if
at liberty Andrews could aid materially in
ending litigation over 4he affairs of the
bank and in realizing from the assets. Thus
he felt that Andrews could be of great serv-
ice to the depositors.
The governor acted independently of the
pardon board, which never took any action
ed by more than 10eq depositors of the
bank and personal letters from about 200
prominent citizens of Detroit and other
parts Of the state

CHAPTER XIX.
A Forecast at the Whipples'

There was a cup of tea at the Whipples'
for any one that dropped in at five o'clock.
The general kept a syphon in the ice box,
and his wife's tea, which he loathed, gave
him his excuse. He was fond OF saying
that an exacting government made it I'M
possible for an army officer to get ac-
quainted with his wife until after his re-
tirement, and then, he declared, there was
nothing to discuss but the opportunities in
life which they had missed. They talked
great deal to seach other about their
neighbors, and about their friends In the
army whose lives they were able to follow
through the daily list OF transfers in the
newspapers, and the ampaer current history
Of the military establishment in the Army
and Navy Journal Few men in Clarkson
had time for the general. He found the
club an unsocial place, and he preferred his
own battered copies of "Pendennis'' and
Henry Esmond' to anything In the club
library. Occasionally when Mrs. Whipple
was out for luncheon he went to the club
for midday sustenance, but the other men
who hurried through ttheir forty cents
worth of table d'hote, Eta1Ked of matters
that were as alien to him as marine law.
1t would havesuited ths general much bet
ter to live ii Washington. where others
with equally little to do assembled in force;
but his wife would not hear to 1t. She
would not have her husband, she sald be-
coming professional paiibearer, and this

but when he came he exercised his inge-
nuity to bring Raridan into the talk in the
rare times that they were alone together
to her, and it increased her liking for him.
1t is curious how a womans pity goes out
to a man; any suggestion of misfortune
makes an excuse for her to clothe him
with her compassion. 1t is as though
Nature, in denying gifts or inf1icting pun
ishment, FASTENED to throw in compensa
tions. Saxton asked so little, and beamed
so radiantly when given so little; he re-
ceived kindnesses 30 shyly, as If. Of course,
they could not be meant for him, but 1t
was ell right, anyway; and he would move
on just as soon as the other fellow came.
AS for Wheaton, he was. certainly not
frivolous, and her fathers respect for him
and dependence on him had communicated
itself to her. He was SO much older than
she; and at twenty-five, thirty-five savors
of antiquity; but he was steady. and stead
mess was trait that she respected. He
was terribly formal, but he was kind and
thoughtful; he was even handsome, or at
least SO every one said.

mantel chimed midnight. when she reached

AFFAIRS IN sANTo DOMINGO.
Wos y Gil Secures New Recruits
Situation Warlike,

A cablegram from San Juan, P. r., last
night says:
1t is said on excellent authority that Gen.
Wos Gil, former president of Santo
Domingo, and all of his followers here have
secured new recruits in Porto Rico and
intend sailing via Haiti for Santo Domingo
on a French steamer, January 4, for the
purpose Of starting a new revolution to re-
place Gen. Wos Gil in the presidential
chair.
Senior Galvan, son of the former finance
minister of Santo Domingo, will continue
to hold the consulate until his embarkation
for Santo Domingo, and in the meantime
he is issuing passports in the name of the
Dominican government, but signed by
Senior Medinas. Senior Morales, who has
been sent here as consul general by the
provisional government, will make another
appeal for recognition to Governor Hunt
tomorrow. Governor Hunt has advised
Secretary of State Hay of the situation,
and awaits further instructions from Wash
ington. The governor yesterday refused
to give official recognition to Senior Morales
as consul general
1t is rumored that thousands of Domini-
cans are ready to join Gen. Wos Gil on
his arrival at Santo Domingo

HOLD THEIR ANNUAL DINNER.
Whitelaw Reid Delivers an Address
Before New England Society.


A dispatch from New York last night
says: The annual dinner OF the New Eng
land Society of the city of New York. held
In the Waldorf-Astoria, was more notable
affair than any had during the ninety
eight years since the Incorporation of the
society. There were o54 diners, and the
speakers included Whitelaw Reid, Andrew
Carnegie, Rev. DIR. Newell Dwight Hills
Gen. H. G.. Corbin and r. NJ. Stuart
Wortley.
After toast had been drunk to The
President of the United States" Whitelaw
Reid discussed "Forefather's Day" Mr..
Reid discussed the immigra ton question
at considerable length, and then passed to
consideration of national expansion. On
this point he said:
shall we find that safe course by roam
ing the oceans to drag in semi-tropical and
revolutionary communities, to be made
states in the American Union equal from
the start with ourselves. with sometimes,
perhaps, balance of power that may en-
able them to govern US and the iand or our
fathers? Such questions have burst upon
us too suddenly out of our recent sXpan-
sion to justify at the outset harsh criticism
of any rash or ill-considered proposals that
may arise to the surface in the first froth
of public discussion. But / venture to pre-
dict that the time will come within the

COMMERCE WITH JAPAN.
japanese Minister'S Interesting Ad-
dress at New England Dinner.

A dispatch from Philadelphia last night
says:
Amid beautiful yuletide decorations the
twenty-third annual dinner Of the New
England Society of Pennsylvania was held
tonight in Horticultural Hall. The number
OF invited guests was large, among them
being kogoro Takahira, japanese minister
to the United States, and Assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy Charles H. Darling. For
mer Assistant Attorney General of the
United States James M. Beck, the retiring
president of the society, acted as toastmas-
ter Before introducing the japanese min
lister Mr.. Beck made brief speech toast
ing the President of the United States.
Among other things he said:
1.-The record of the last two years has
been crowded with lustrous achievement.
The young President has given freely and
without stint his physical and mental
strength in the service of his country. No
burden laid upon him has seemed too great,
and from no one obstacle has he shrunk
when 1t seemed to him to lie in the path OF
civic usefulness. All may not agree with
everything that he has done or seeks to do,
but the loftiness of his ideals, the purity of
his motives, the courage of his convictions,
the stainlessness OF his purposes are, be-
1ieve, generally recognized9'
The japanese minister in responding to
the toast Japan and New England said:

Philadelphia in molding the relations be-
tween the United States and Japan had
been potent and second to none in bringing
the two countries into close ties Of friend

lieved that the commerce between the two
countries received its first impetus from
knowledge gained through the exhibition of
Japan's varied products at the centennial
exposition in Philadelphia, In 1876 In early
years, he said. New England had been the
Mecca of Japanese students who came to
this country, and he spoke Of the promi
