Daily Oregonian: It waa announc

day or two ago that Harry Miller,

ikj. t wan div.ircwl. Minne Myrtle J wa, repeated, and I siitlered the ml
Miller troubles are Hill k noun tojded miat-ry of knuwing that everv
the lvople of Oregon, tho family HHcinan was looking for Joaopli
having resided in this taUi many McKay, the m-aiM.1 convict and
veitrs ltoth she and the pott wen- j that if reeonuwl I would bo reliirn-
native of Oreffon. She Iwre him
threw children. One was a daiigh
Ut, who for some years was on the
stage. She married tho son of
.Sircele Mackayo, tho ldiglisli aclor,
nnd five or six'years ago was living
in New York. 'Minnie Myrtle Mil
ler died a few year ago.
Young Marry Miller has had n
somewhat checkered career. Ilia
atory, as told in his confession im
mtHliately after his arrest is ns fol
lows: "I whs Kirn twenly-two years ago
and up to the ngc of ten years lived
with mv mother, Minnie Myrtle
Miller, in Portland. The days I
!!eiit with her were tho only really
happy ones I ever knew. When
she gave me into tho keeping of her
sinter at t'oos bay and parted with
me to go Kant after my Mater Maud,
who was being educated in a con
vent, 1 grieved for her. I never saw
her again.
"About a year after she left me
they told me sho was dead. The
inw't seven years of my lifo were
passed on my aunt's farm. She
was very kind ivnd no doubt treated
mo a grout doal Itolter tlian I dosorr
od. 1 went to tho little couutrv
school at Coos bay and learned all
they could teach.
"Put the taste of education I re
ceived there only sharjieiied my np
(R'tite for more. I did not euro for
the evt-ry-ilay lifo of n fanner; 1 was
ambitious to In-como a man like mv
father. A letter to my father tell
ing him of my desire evoked a re
ply inviting ine to come to him, and
saying he would help me. A few
weeks later 1 found myself at 'The
Hermitage' on Oakland Height.
My fathei's reception was not as
cordial as I had a right to expect.
H told me (hut 1 must banish all
Highly ideas from my brain, and
that he did not propoxe to let mo be
a burden on his khoulders. Then
he gave mc work to do n'xiut the
ranch.
"It was the same old hard drudg
ery I had thought' of escaping when
I left Oregon. To lm sure, inv fath
er had promised to pay mo for my
labor, and I la-came contented when
I thought that with the money thus
gained I could educate myself in
the higher branches. 1 1 was a crush
ing blow when he refused to pay
mo. Anger ami disappointment
overcame my better judgment, and
one day I left The Hermitage.'
"My brother (Jcorgo went with
mo, and we traveled alxmt the state
working at various places, until
finally we parted in Modock county.
I came to Sail Francisco and car
ried message lor tho American
District Telegraph Company for a
while. Then I returned to tho
country and worked at odd jobs,
getting square meals occasionally,
but most of tho time going hungry.
dntteU tmtk to Oregon, nut i unt
not go to Coos bay, knowing that if
I did I would U' doomed to stay on
the ranch forever. One night in
Portland, while I was hungry ami
desja-raU', a man projiosed that wo
break into a house. His name was
Webster. He was an old acquaint
ance, and was trying to reform from
the habit of using opium. One day
we walked out of Portland and along
the roads conversing until wo came
to a farm house near the railroad
trato. It was noon and we were I
hungry I asked WobMer to go to no was a very su a man, aim rcjwri
the house ami try and get something od off to the doctor. The doctor
to eat.
I Im, niiiimv nml lo t him
I would nav all oxnonsc. He wont
to tho house, and 1 followed a few
minutes afterward. It happened
that there was no one in the jdate,
1 WuUter crawled throuuh u
window. He paed mo some food
BM.'t Ml m-w-
ami wo dined. As wo were walking
into town again ho showed n.o a
watch he had found in t lie ncii room.
In Portland we went to a pawn
shop to tell tlte wntbh and the pawn
broker telephoned for two ioliceiiien
who came and arrested us. We
I oth got two years In tho Salem
penitentiary fur that nlluir.
"I served six months of my time
and cscid in thu garb of u uarteii
tor who waa a free man and who
worked rig our furgmnn in the build-
the nclion of reform.
"I w.i ehaaetl all over the tate :
of Oregon ami ahot at repeatedly by (
(idiivrn in pursuit, but I invariably
cM-apcd unhurt. 1 into
California, worked for John Mi-Martin,

i :
ml to orison. Put I was lucky
enough to cscajK! detection, however
ami sometime a letter from my
limit or my brother would lot u
gleam of sunshine into my life.
My aunt seldom wrote without en
closing a little money for me. At
last 1 wandered into Mendocino
county. One day while tramping
over the mountains, f.ilnidiing ami
in search of work, I t amo uinm a
house that had lieen left unguarded.
I entered it and ale my full. Then
I stole a gun and some cartridges
ami left the place. Another day of
tramping ami hunger followed, and
then I shot a sheep, nud roasting tho
animal, had another hearty meal.
I walked on again ami suddenly
catn upon a stage toiling up a hill.
"The idea of robbing it came as
an inspiration. As the stage neared
me, I stepied from behind ft tree
and ordond the driver to stop. If
he had shown light I hhould prob
ably have ran away because I was
frightened and xhakiug like a leaf.
Ho stopped, however, and threw out
the oppress box. When the stage
had disapiieurod I oiiened tho box
nml found a pair of baby's shoo and
a few way bills. Not a cent did I
get for my trouble. Then followed
a couple of weeks of dodging ami
hiding in the forest from the-:Hieer,
who I knew were searching for me.
I reached Santa llosa ami there
Sherilf Standley arrested me.
"Of course, f shall plead guilty
and miller the Knaley. I 1-oar my
father no ill-will for the way he
t rented me, and all I ask of him is
th.it ho keip away from mc I
don't care to bcc Joaquin Miller
again. I fit had not leen for the
letter of my brother to mo that
Sherilf Standley found, my identity
would never have ben known. I
would have gone to prison as Joe
McKay, as I did in Oregon. The
I aft thought in my mind wurf that
of bringing disgrace on my brother,
sister and aunt."
lu speaking of his jail cxiicriouco
at the Salem penitentiary Millar
said:
"No man can conceive of tho
cruelties that are perpetrated behind
the walls of that place. All the
ollicers stand in together, and should
n convict ojien his mouth on the
subject at an investigation it means
untold cruelties for mini ever after
ward. "I worked so kard in the place
where the iron was melted that I
marly died. There was another
place, hoWccr, worse than that. It
was the foundry. 1 1 is there that
five men crippled themselves mi us
to bo n iiiovi d from the torture to
which they were subjected. 1 can
not remeii'il er their names now, be
cause wo nearly all wont by nick
names or numbers.
"Two of tho convbta had Ihicii
subjected to uch torture in tho
foundry that they chopped their
left hand oil', so as to he sent to the
hoipital. '1 liree other men ulieppod
off their left hand fingers. Ono of
these was colored man i mined
Suell. I can remember him well,
how ln used to put his wounded
stump in his brcafct in cold weather.
Ho was east into a dungeon after he
maimed himself, and when he was
well enough to work he was put
back at the si me old furnace.
I reiin uiU r the killing of Sharp
Sillil lie was wen ciiouim ui w,
and when ho refused to go lack to
tho furnace Warden MeKinuun
ordered hint to receive llftv lashes.
It was the chaM- where these per
formances uMially took place, and
there he waa carried. He resisted
, - Ill I
. as u-M in-couiu, am. .
ordered m a guard, w ho, at the word
01 un Mm . niM.,,. . -
I er do anything mi
earth than go
back to tlwt hell."
The Salt Lake Tribune truthfully
hays: "Oregon is in some rosK'cU
a greater state than California, lu
many sjiecie of fruit slw is sUierU)r
to t'ulifornia; she has iinwoiuw
wheat fluids, endless ranger and no
owl of timber.
IT LOOKS I.tKIt WAR.
The Chilian DirAculty lUi AuMtttitJ .i
te" Apl.
THINK TIIKV CAN WHIP US HAIILV.
A Washington dinpitch says the
Chilian imbroglio hears an ugly
look, and is giving tho administra
tion more uneasiness than the presi
dent or hit advisers are likely to ad
mit. The country ha been lulled
into fancies of ieaee by the assur
ance of Minister Monti that Chili
did not want war, an l that justice
would be done in the examination
of the Baltimore afT.ur, and there
fore was not prepared for the dis
patch showing that the Chilians
were preHring to w rk themselves
up into another paioxysm of freiuy,
which would give thi ol the required
imjictu to do something dojerate.
It is evident they arc l-cnt on return
ing another impudent answer to the
claims of the Cuited States, and
that the answer will come in a few
day unless Minister Moult, wIhi is
a cool-headed man and appreciates
fully the power of -this country both
in jieace and war, succeeds in turn
ing aside the torrent of bombast his
countrymen are evidently readv to
let loose. There i.i no doubt of" the
truthfullness of th" rctiorl that on
last Saturday Secretary ltlaiue re
ceived a dispatch from Consul Mc
Crcery, stating that an ugly feeling
against the Americans was cropping
out In Chili, nd that trouble of n
serious nature might occur. About
the sam time there came a long
cablegram from Minister Kgan,
which was humilv deciphered aud
at once placed in the hands of the
president. This was to the effect
that the finding of the court of in
quiry into the bloody Baltimore
massacre would probably opose tho
claims of the I nited States and
might probably be the basis of a
saucy and unsatisfactory nolo to
Secretary Blaine. Tho minister
thought the govcrniu nt should he
advised of this condition of things
in advance. Consul MeCreery has
sjM-cial means of knowing what is
transpiring in Chili government
circles, because he is probably the
only Amorican in the country who
can go w la-re he pleaes ami when
he pleases. Ih- Unit lived in Chill
so long as to be nlui'i-t considered a
Chimin, and his doiin tdic relations
with the js-ople where be lives, as j
every one knows, are extremely close. 't
All will lie activity again at the:
navy yard, and many dispatches'
have been sent to Man' Inland In
answer to one of urgent telegrams
came the response, i: " said, that
the Monterey tould )' prepared for
sea in sixty day providing her ar
mor was put on at o-ice. This shows
that it is proNied to waste no time
in preparing for action, and naval
men say great anxiety is expressed
to have the Pacific coast protected
a ms)n as jsissible. Tim construc
tion of the eight, ten and twelve
inch guns ordered by tin; govern
ment some time ago is also watched
with impatience, aud the first ten
will lie sent to San Francisco when
finished, il being intended to con
struct the carriages on the coast, if
that can la- done. These guns will
be planted at the entrance to San
Francisco harbor, am! an effort will
be made to provide for the protec
tion af San Diego bay at the same
time, these two jioiiits being most
OX JIOSCll.
.
The evil of intemiicrttuco is aptly
illustrated in the story telegraphed
yesterday from Baltimore. A whale
was stranded on the beach, having
in hiil stomach several empty lad
lies and live one-gallon ileiii'johns
oftheUst quality of rye whigky,
corked and seated. Tht undoubt
edly accounts for hi whalcship.s
des'ire to lake the in) Hid trip which
resulted so disastrously to him.
The Ktsl inaMcr c -neral has re
ceived a letter from Crawford, S. C,
saying that PHX) colored eoplo
there waul to emigrate loaMca, ami
asking whether the government
could aid them. The letter Wis re
ferred to tho kupt-riulcmllul of im
