RUDYARD KIPLING,
Andrew Lang's Criticism of the Great
Young English Story-Teller.
Andrew


Young English Story-Teller.
Andrew Lang.
Some years ago among the books which
came in battalions to a reviewer. I found an
odd little volume of verses, bound like an
official report. Where is that volume now?
1t has gone the way of first editions;
thing to regret, as il was an example of
Mr.. Rudyard Kipling's Departmental
Ditties." They were light pieces OF rh, me
on Anglo-Indian life and society: they
were lively, sad. cynical. and very unlike
most poetry. Mr.. Kipling's name was new
to ME, and, much as l had admired his
verses, / heard no more of him till I re.
ceived The Story OF the Gadsbys." stud
les in Black and White" and Under the
Deodars." Then, on reading them, one
saw that new star in literature had swum
into ones ken. Here was an extraordinary
brightness, brevity. observation, humor
unusual, perhaps unexampled, knowledge
OF lie IN lndia-llfe of the people, of their
white rulers, of men and women, and of
the private soldiers. Mr.. klpling had the
unusual art of telling short story; he cut
II down to almost aneedote in his hatred of
the prollx and the superfluous. This is
always rare art in English; in French it
Is more common, and is made far more
welcome.
AT this time the European English know
little or nothing of Mr. kipling. He was
praised in reviews; his books were the
treasures OF a few people who liked to find
fresh thing that is good. Then in au-
tumn, 1853, Mr.. Kipling came to England,
paying long visit to America on the way.
Inc Few facts that need be told about his
past career were soon known
Mr.. Ripling was born at Bombay on De-
cemoer 80, 1865. He is therefore still very
young man. at his age Mr.. Robert Louis
stevenson had shown his genius TO the
World in few admirable magazine articles.
Born IN India, the son OF the head of the
school OF Art at Lahore, Mr.. Kipling was
educated at Westward Ho." the watering
place and home of the Coles named after
canon kingsley's novel. He returned 10
India early. and how early he began TO
write articles. tales. and verses in the India
newspapers | do not know. His little ro-
mances first appeared in the

Attempted Suicide in Tacoma-Census

Thousand Inhabitants.

SPOKANE FALLS. Sept. SIT was defin-
itely ascertained today that of the thirty
five men at work at the Northern Pacific
yards Saturday night fifteen were killed,
seven wounded and the four others mirac-
ulously escaped injury. There were many
eyewitnesses to the occurrence, and many
versions of the story are afoat
Nothing new has been developed
i'll regard TO the cause OF the explosion.
At the inquest today number of men
were examined and from the testimony
given it seems that all the customary pre-
cautions were taken BY the foreman en-
gagged in charging the drilled holes with
powder. The inquest is not yet finished
and probably will not be concluded to-
night.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev.
P. Bittner, of the Evangelical church, at
Hall & Mobiles undertaking parIors this
morning at 10 O'Clock. The rooms were
crowded and the solemn services most i'm
pressIve. The lesson of the uncertainty of
life was pointed out, and the two motherless
children of Thomas Rhea, who by his
death, were left entirely unprovided for,
were commended to the special care of the
charitable. On the coffin was placed a
beautiful wreath OF flowers, Outside, hun
dreds, unable to obtain an entrance to the
undertaking rooms. filled the street from
sidewalk to sidewalk for the distance of a
block, and through this, when the services
ended, the funeral procession passed.
Two hearses and six large wagons, draped
in black, we're used to convey the dead to
Greenwood cemetery, and the procession
was the longest of the kind ever seen in
Spokane.
On the arrival at the cemetery 1t was
found that two trenches had been dug
sixteen by eight feet, which were divided
into fourteen spaces. Into these the
collins were lowered. The burial service
of the Presbyterian church was read, and
the dead left to unbroken rest.
Memorial services were held in the
Swedish Lutheran church at s o'clock in
the evening.

Second Census Count Puts Oregon Me-
tropolis Even With Seattle.
PORTLAND, Sept. S.-Supervisor Mech
tenight received authority from the census
Office TO give out for publication the re-
turns of the census remuneration ordered
for the city of Portland and Multnomah
county. The total for the city and county,
as returned by the enumerators, is rs. 2S7.
gain of Ii, 200 over the former enumera-
ton. Within the city limits there are
62442, including East Portland. Within
the county, outside of the city limits, are
1855.
This is gain of about "a per cent. over
the population of the county by the Ore
gon census taken in June, the accuracy of
which the recount in Multnomah county
was made to test. The same proportion of
gain throughout the state would give Ore
gon population of $4,000, which is about
what the vote at the June election led per-
sons to expect. The June census gave the
state 305, 600.
This Remuneration was made under the
eye of Special Agent Leland, OF the census
bureau at Washington City, and the result
is fully approved by him.
Portland has included in her limits all
the suburbs. The city proper probably
contains 5000 people, or about the same
number as the municipal district of
Seattle.

Young Englishman Caught Smuggling.
NEW YORK, Sept. S.-W. K. Medhurst, a
young Englishman who some time ago in
berited $75, 900 from his uncle. arrived at
this port yesterday from Liverpool. He
brought along with him his horses, car
riages, ETC., intending to remain here for
some time. Today q special agent of the
treasury department ordered careful inves-
tIgation OF Medhurst's baggage. The result
is that there is now in the seizure room of
the custom-house over 5000 worth of dia-
monds and pearls put together in the most
exquisite workmanship. As they were all
ornaments fit only FOR ladies' use and
with monograms in them that did not cor
respond with his initials, they were
promptly seized. Ali Medhurst said when
the seizure was made was to ask when the
goods were sold, that he might be on hand
to buy them in.

CHOSE BAD PLACE TO DIE.
Tacoma Physician Pumps Poison Out Of
Would-be Suicide.

TACOMA. Sept. s.-James Jasemine,
young man 30 years of age, said to be
druggist, attempted suicide late this after.
noon by taking a dose of oxalic acid.
Thinking he was almost across Jordan's
strand, he walked into the city Jail and told
an officer what he had done and requested
the privilege of dying there. Health Officer
Binkley was promptly notified and soon
arrived and pumped Mr.. Jasemine's poison
out while he was unconscious and in
spasms. He will doubtless recover, but
will be pretty sore for some days. He is
unable to talk; and the cause of the rash
act is unknown

Worlds fair directory, resigned his Office
as director this evening. Bryan has taken
a prominent part in the Worlds fair move

get the vote of single congressman of
Georgia for Chicago; that he sent his son
to Sweden for information that any consul
could have furnished, and that a
gentleman who had been spoken
of for director-general, and who had been
log-rolling for the Jackson park site. got
81 900 for going to Paris for information
already available in Chicago. Mr.. Bryan
entered fiat denial of all these charges,

ment as suggested by Henderson.
German opposed the amendment as,
being in the interest of sugar refineries
giving them an absolute monopoly. Vest
also opposed il. The refineries had now.
he said, all they wanted. They had tri.
umphed by the votes taken today, which
put into their pockets many millions of
collars.
Quay's amendment was rejected.
The proviso in paragraph 22S, that in
case an export duty is imposed by any
country, the sugars from that country
shall be subject to duties under the exist
ing law, was. after discussion, withdrawn.
Quay moved to include sugars made
from maize stems among the sugars for
which bounty of 2 cents per pound is to
be paid; rejected.
The next question was the finance com.
mittee's amendment to Include maple sugar
among those for which bounty is to be
paid; agreed to. yeas 80. nays %
All the other amendments referring TO
maple sugar were agreed to, and the time
for fling notices in connection with claims
for bounty was fixed as prior to July l. in.
stead of January of each year.
Frye offered an amendment 10 nav n
bounty OF cent per pound on sugar from
imported moiasses. There was he said, a
capital OF two or three millions invested in
the business, which gave employment to
400 American vessels, and paid over $780,
600 year in freight to them. There was
also extensive cooperage connected with
the business, and the whole industry
would be destroyed by the bill as absolute
ly as II struck by lightning.
Frye's amendment was rejected.
Henderson offered an amendment for
the admission free of duty of machinery
for the manufacture of beet sugar and re-
funding the duties collected on such ma.
chinery since January /. 1890 Eustis
moved to amend so as TO extend it to ma
chinery for beet and sorghum sugar.

he would try and have all the amendments

ready for the third reading tomorrow.
