The Entnre Novel.
To nie Ellitor of Me DispaLch /,

To The Editor or me DiSDdtch:
Tho New York Herald of last Sunday
gives the views of a large. number of
writers, more or less distinguished or ex-
tingished. as TO what the novel of the
future will be- With singular unanimity
they all seem 10 ignore the one indicative
tact which answers the question. In my
judgment 1t is no very difficult problem TO
solve. The future novel will be. in brief,
simply the child of that of the past, with
the same general characteristics in an i'm
proved development, as in the human
family, and it will not be written
during this generation. Great novel
lists are like certain natural phenomenal
which occur only at long intervals. Field
ing, Richardson, and Smollett were the
precursors of Thackeray, Dickens, and
Eliot, who simply improved upon and re-
fined the plans Of their predecessors. The
coming novelist Will do the same by them.
No novel worthy OF the name will ever be
written which is not based on human ma
ture and interest. and the truer the mirror
is held up TO life the better the novel will
be. 1t is this fidelity to human character
that makes Fielding and Thackeray JdciIt
prtnceps of their craft TO the present day,
and TON JONES' and Esmond" the
greatest novels yet produced. The fu'
ture novelists worthy of the name
will study those of the past and evolve
product generally the same, but better
in certain particulars-just IS Thackeray
in "Pendennis." built on the plan Of Tom
JONES'" eschewing the vulgarity unsuitable
to his more refined age. Dickens did like
wise, copying Fielding and Smollett of
times almost literally. The coming King
of the realm of fiction must, rule over the
same empire as the monarchs Of the past
swayed-the human heart. Scierti1c
novels, hypnotic novels, Socislistic novels,
religious novels, d ID onnegenus. can be
called novels only by courtesy. They are
simply fads. and therefore ephemeral.
There is only one sort worse than they are,
May we soon be delivered from all of these
denominations and prostitutions of talent.

THE MUSIC FESTIVAL.
Tho List of Artists Complete and Nearly
All the Arrangements Perfected,


:. A complete list Of artists for the Music
FESTIVAL is published in this issue OF the
DrsPATcH. The names are oil welI-known,
and with such soloists, splendid orches-
ira. and largo local chorus, the festival
assumes breadth which can hardly be
surpassed In any city. The number Of
artists engaged allows variety IN the pro-
grammes which will make each Of the three
nights specially attractive In itself.
Aus der Ohe Is probably the greatest lady
pianist in the country. while Myrop Whit
ney is a host In himself. The orchestra Is
composed OF Boston's picked men, and the
soloists are fayorites in that musical
centre.
Arrangements are being made forreduced
rates from neighboring cities and towns
A Fesitrdi BULLETIN will Be issued this week,
giving complete details aud appearing
regularly until the festival. The local
GLORIOUS Is not yet quito complete. Good
voices capable of reading music will be re-
ceiyed for two weeks longer.
The price Of season tickets il very low,
hardly above regular theatre prices. The
management evidently believe in crowded
houses, and they will certainly have them.

The Committee 20 Meet This Week-A
Matter of Finance.

The Chamber of Commerce Building
Committee will hold meeting early this

The duties Of the committee have been
very isborious, but have been performed
most oheerfully. They will be relieved Of
a good deal OF trouble in future, however,
if those in arrears TO the Chamber will pay
up promptly. The impression prevails that
rs some OF the notes for the balance due on
the site are not due yet there need be no
hurry about paying up. This is q mistake.
The committee have right to anticipate
their notes, and can save good deal in in

Mr.. Evan, AT His Rest.

The Norfolk Ne,rs and Courier in its re-

Every seat was crowded, chairs in every
vacancy and every foot of standing-room
occupied through both services at this
church. and then hundreds turned away
because they could not get inside the
doors. Rev. William L. Evans. the
pastor, was at his best. In beauty of
diction and striking figures Of speech he
often rivalled Talmage. In profundity
and fervor of thought many passages of
his sermons equalled Beecher at his best"

THE DENIAL.
Mr.. Royall denies that there ever has been

IMPORTANT POINTS.

Observe: First they say the basis Of TIER
proposal )" was TO be submitted to an Eng
lish Advisory Board, which was done by
publication. And then they pretend that
the arrangement" or settlement that
was to grow out Of 1.-THE basis" was to
be submitted to this same English Ad-
visory Board. And il is this claim that
now clogs the action Of the New York COM
mittee.
To an outsider, as am, II looks az II
there was disposition in the Council to
defeat the settlement. II had no: taken
up so much space could strengthen this
suspicion into something like certainty by
showing how, in their remarks on the State
and herrevenues, they have misrepresented
the whole misleading the creditors
whom they profess to guide. Or. II they
desire settlement, then they must be en-
deavoring TO force their way into 1t by
threatening to break it up unless some
concessions are made TO them.

AS TO CONCESSIONS.


There are two subjects on which con-
cessions may be desired:
First. There are some $40, 000, 900 face
value of bonds and coupons deposited in
England and America under the scheme Of
the New York committee. The ownership
of those bonds is now known. How that
knowledge shall be used and to whom the
profit of that knowledge shall pertain Is a
subject that presume interests both the
Council of Foreign Bondholders and the
New York COMMITTEES. or such members OF
each body as would turn that knowledge
to their own private advantage.
Second. There are, SO says the Council 9
report. SO, 637, s73 of past due tax-receiya-
BILE coupons. e., coupons forfeited under
the Wickham amendment-ineiuding jan
uary /. 1891. And it is a question what
shall be done with them. the State having
given out that she will not recognize
them-that she cannot increase her taxa
tion to that extent. Shall the ring in the
Council see that sum surrendered? Some
three weeks ago Captain Garden promised
to submit proposals in very few days; be
has not yet done so, though there Is de-
lay of more than month since the OPP
tions were closed. What other than these
or similar contentious can have caused
this delay? A parcel of English money
getters fighting disinterestedly, without
favor or reward. and such fight a. Mr..
Royal says it is, a death struggle with a
great State" for the right of bondholders.

THE PLAN.

Very we'll: "The basis Of their proposal"
formulated with the stipulated approba-
ton OF 1.-THE advisory board" Of the New
York committee, under the heading OF
"Plan for the Adjustment Of the Debt OF
Virginia." was published in London on the
23d of December, subject TO the terms and
conditions of the agreement of May 18th,
and was not objected to by any OF the
bondholders. They and the Council had
the plan or "basis" before them. which
was all the "basis" that anybody had,
and they accepted that by appointing two
members Of the commission who are to ap-
portion the new bonds-those which were
to be issued under the expected settlement
with the State-asp provided in section third
of the "plan."
But now they have "mended their
holdn; and claim, Report page 205. that
it was also agreed by Messrs. Brown,
Shipley & Co.. acting on behalf of the
American Bondholders' Committee, that
any arrangement between the latter and
the Virginia State Commission should be
submitted to the English Advisory Board"

ago. That was o picture on a pane OF

face divine, because it was the face of a
