The I'OOr German Novel.

While the number of second and
third rate novels increases, those that
deserve TO be labeled al are as undoubt-
odly on the wane. The pitiable state of
the German book market is partly an
swerable for this result, since it has
driven some Of the ablest contemporary
novelists, such as Sudermann, Ger.
hardt, Hauptmann and voss, to turn
aside from their original and obvious
vocation in order to write Indifferent
dramas, because these prove to be moro
remunerative than first class novels.
Veteran standard authors like Freytag,
Dahn and Spielhagen. who have been
before the public for three or more de-
ccnniuins, seem to labor under the delu-
sion that whatever they now write must
necessarily be worth reading, and that
. writer who once has achieved fame
has nothing further TO do in order to
keep il up but to go ON producing With
cloclwork regularity n certain number
Of volumes per annum. whether or not
these books are distinguished by any Of
those qualities which made the rcputa-
ton Of their earlier works.-B!ack-

NEw YORK DAILY AMERICA:
Friends of Harrison are looking over
the field for some one to beat Tom
Reed for the speakership. Unless a
true, is patched up. there will be the
liveliest kind of shindy over the
choice of the republicans for that
Office. The man from the wilds of
Maine has been supposed to hold a
mortgage on the speakership which
he could at any time foreclose. The
news that Harrison's friends propose
to test its value is interesting.

MEANING OF CLAUSE 2.
Sir Charles RusseIFs Statement Re.
Earding the Herring Sea Bill.


Ballard Smith cables to the New York
World from London an interview with Sir
Charles Russell on the meaning of clause
seven of the British Bering sea bill, which
has been generally discussed in this
country. He dictated with great care the
following statement:
There seems to be some misapprehen-
sion in America as to the meaning of
clause seven. In the first place they seem
to think that the commander of a cruiser
is made the judge of whether a ship has
had notice or not so that clause would in
terfere with the seizure and ordering it to
pert. That is not So The question would
be one for the court after the ship had been
seized and sent to port.
Next, they seem to think that it would
leave ship free to carry on pelaSic seal
ing in the area covered by the award. That
Is not so, because even If she had no notice
before she sailed her detention would give
her notice that she was violating the law,
and If thereafter she pursued pelagic seal
ing she would be liable to the penalties of
the law.
The belief of those who are responsible
for the clause is that there is a very small
number, If any, of vessels which nave not
had notice of the provisions of the award.
III there are any. which in good faith sail
in ignorance and in bona fde belief II at
they were not violating any law, 1t would
be hard to bring them within highly
penal enactment; but this immunity at the
most could only extend to any seals that
they caught before notice had been given
or what the law actually was"

unfortunate manner in which his col

Mr.. Joy announced that he would meet
all his friends in the near future as a
member of the next Congress. He read
the following telegram from the congress
sonal committee of his district in St
Louis: Receive you home under protest.
but you might as well tell your friends
that we shall send you back until they
keep you" This was received with great
pleasure.
Ex-Representative Filborn was glad of
the reception rendered him by his col
leagues in the House, and trusted he would
ever merit the esteem in which they held
him. While he had received telegram
from his constituents, he was confident
that the democratic party would be re-
buked by the republicans of his district
by his return to the next Congress
Speeches were also made by Representa-

A review of the effects of disease in the
city during last week shows a material in
crease in the death rate. This is owing
mainly to the prevalence of pneumonia
and cognate maladies. The presence of the
epidemic catarrh is also shown in five
deaths therefrom, and remotely parallel
with these six fatal cases of kidney dis
eases, most of which were enchymatous,
that is affecting the substance of those
organs The mortality of infants under
five years of age came fully up to, If not
somewhat beyond. the average. The prin-
cipal causes among these children were
weakness from birth, premature birth
and mal-nutrition. Summer complaints
have not as yet made their appearance
manifest. Twelve new cases Of scarlet
rash were reported. with one death, and
but three cases of dphtheria, with two
deaths therefrom. The cases of scarlet
fever were scattered through all sections
of the city, and six of them were in three
families. The medical sanitary inspector
is doing all in his power TO completely
stamp out diphtheria from the city. with
fair hopes of success. With the exceptions
noted the health of the city is excellent.

commission adjourned sine die at 8 O'clock
last evening. Upon adjourning the ccm-
mission Mr.. Alfred de Claparede president
of the body, made the following address:
I'VE have arrived at the point estab-
lished by article VIII of the convention of
Santiago for bringing the work Of our
commission to a close without having
succeeded in obtaining the extension of
its life which We felt it was necessary to
request on the day of our first meeting for
business. We (and 1 now speak for myself
regret to be obliged to state that what we
then anticipated and expressed TO the two
conracting governments has been realized
and eighteen claims, which were filed in
due season, and upon a part of which we
have already pronounced judgment on de-
murrer, and others, will remain unsettled
We regret it greatly not only for the
claimants, but for the two contracting
governments, whose intention was to set
tie finally and amicably all the claims ex-
listing between the citizens of either party
and the government of the other.
I'VE express here the hope that the two
contracting governments will, by a future
understanding afford the claimants whose
claims have not been settled an opportunity
to obtain judgment thereon in harmony
with the generous and peaceful intentions
which animated the framing of the con-
vention of Santiago.
'ln expressing this wish, and also the
hope that our work has contributed to the
cemeuting of the good relations that both
contracting governments are glad to main
tain, / declare closed the sessions of our
commission in conformity with the pro-
visions of article VIII of the convention of
Santiago, and take great pleasure, in the
name Of the members of the commission
in expressing to the honorable agents CT
the contracting governments, we'll as
to the secretaries of this commission, our
sincerest thanks for the distinguished man
ner, the courtesy, the intelligent zeal and
the great tact with which they have per-
formed their difficult functions. Gentlemen
please accept the assurance of my high
consideration, of my profound esteem and
