Father Greatly Excited.
Mr.. Borden was greatly excited al
the prospects of seeing his seventeen
year-old runaway daughter again
When the message came from Boston
he was on the point of departing for
Baltimore, where his aged mother,
Mrs. Gail Borden, Sir. is previously
i'll. The disappearance Of her favorite
granddaughter and the uncertainty of
her mental and physical condition re-
acted tlnfavorably upon the old lady
An hour before the telegram came
FROM Boston, Mr.. Borden had predicted
the imminent discovery of his daugh-
ter's whereabouts. The father seemed
confident though nothing had been
seen of the girl by anyone who knew
her since she was spirited away from
the Adams santarium at Pompton. N
j.. late Wednesday afternoon.
Wide Search Was Made.
Mr.. Borden's optimism followed re-
ports by detectives who had been led

will be in my arms within As hours"
said Mr.. Borden after a conference
with advisers.
Mr.. Borden looked worn and broken

word of the prostration of his sister
and his aged mother.
The movements of the runaway girl
and her older companions, as traced
by Mr.. Borden's detectives, include an
evening spent In New Haven at the
Taft hotel and a "decoy" departure
for Boston on Thursday morning. The
detectives believe that the little party
purchased tickets to Boston only as a
blind and that they doubled back on
their tracks before arriving in the
Hub. " - r''"

den In court was that we quarreled

dents, is fiouting and still disregards
SO far as known here, the objections
TO the marriage interposed by the
kaiser and the emperor of Austria.
= State department officials, two OF

rage, said that If the remonstrances
of the kaiser were not withdrawn, Am
bassador Leishman was occupying
dangerous ground that might at any
moment move the kaiser to indicate
to this government that his recall
would be acceptable to the German
court. g.
The objections are, of course, all
due to the strict etiquette of the
German, which Mr. Leishman &C
cepted when he became accredited to
Germany. The moment he runs coun-
ter to the usages of the court and
the rules and regulations the kaiser
has made for the marriage of court
officials and army officers, he be-
comes, in the opinion of American dip
lomats, at least, persona non grata at
the German court.
~ Mr.. Leishman, however, is soon to
be succeeded at Berlin by Professor
Pine Of Princeton, and as the duke is
more of lover than sticker for
medieval FORMS the duke and the am
bassador will both risk the dis
pleasure of the kaiser and the en-
peror. E
