New York Herald: Quite naturally
there are numbers of American writer's
who draw more or less of their inspira-
9tion fron the French, English and Ger
man authors, just as those gentlemen
drew uponr each other and upon the
novelists for their themes. But at the
same time originality marks the work
of many among them, and there is lar
greater number sf successful Americans
In this field than is apparently suspected
by the ladies and gentlemene who occa-
sionallv rush into print with the old
complaint that only foreigners are per-
mitted to gain an easy foothold in the
theaters of the United States.
The American Dramatists' Club pub
fishes annually list Of players and
their authors that would be quite in
structive reading to those who regard
the native playwright as harassed,
bounded and downtrodden creature.
This catalogue embraces, in addition to
nearly all the foreign plays undergoing
presentation in America, hundreds of
dramas, farces, comedies and operas by
American writer's. Many of these are,

Ellen Beach Yaw, the soprano of
wonderful register, is to appear at the
Metropolitan Theater December 18th.
She win be supported by Maximilian
Dick, violinist of whom the New York
Sun" says: "A young artist who lays
claim to a brilliant future. He played
with such artistic depth that he won
the admiration of the whole audience"
Another of her support is Miss Geor-
gilla Lay, pianist of rare attainments.
OF Miss Yaw, who by the way is a res
ident of California and is accounted the
most remarkable soprano the world has
known for compass of voice, extending
from G below to E in altissimo, a range
of nearly four octaves, the New
York Herald has said: "a So
prano who can sing high G and sustain
the note well is supposed to have "a
good vocal range, but Miss Ellen Beach
Yaw of California can sing E above

than the great Ajugari, who is recorded
in the Encyclopedia Britannica as the
greatest ranged singer ever known

quite naturally, the unsuccessful worhs
of obscure persons.
The great majority of plays produced
in any part of the world are failures
out and out Even the men who nave
written the most successes, like VIC
torien Sardou, the late Dion Bouclcault,
Arthur w Pinero, Henry Arthur Jones'
George 4. Sims, Augustin Daily, Bron-
son Howard, David Belasco and the
late BARLEY Campbell, have occasion
ally demonstrated that long practice
and intimate knowledge by no means
make the work of dramatic authorship
at all certain in it's results. A novelist
OF renown, equal to that of any OF the
gentlemen here named, would be rea-
sonably sure that any book bearing his
name would achieve at least certain
circulation. A story from the pen OF
Henry James, or Walter Besant, or
Bret Harte, or any one of the dozens
of other writer's who might here be
mentioned, would be regarded by any
of the great publishing houses as safe
investment, sure to yield good returns.
There is no dramatist upon whom SIM
liar reliance may be placed.

falling temperature will prevail, with
rain likely to be locally heavy. and
fresh to brisk easterly to northerly
winds, probably becoming dangerous
gales on the coast as the Southern cy-
clone advances from the vicinity Of
Hatteras to the northward, followed in
the extreme western districts of this
section by clearing. On Sunday, in both
these sections, cloudy to partly cloudy
weather will prevail, preceded by rains,
probably dangerous gales on the coasts,
and blowing mostly from northeasterly
and northerly points, and followed by
clearing, except probably on the coasts ;
and on Monday partly cloudy and
warmer weather. probably followed by
rain.

The storm centre before reported in
Texas moved yesterday eastward to
Georgia. Although it was not severely
felt in the Gulf States yesterday, it will
advance to Cape Hatteras and thence
northwardly and northeastwardly with
increasing force, probably causing dan
gerous gales between the Gulf Stream
and the coasts of the Middle Atlantic
States and lower New England. The

continue to move eastwardly

Consul General Lee Fails to obtain Re

HAVANA, via Key West, Oct. 24.--The
attempts of Consul General Lee to obtain
for American buyers the release Of tobacco
leaf purchased or contracted for by thom
here prevDus TO Captain General Weyler's
embargo decree have so far been unsuo-
oessful, despite the assurances OF the Span
lsh foreign Office TO Secretary Olney that
relief should be granted. Several Amori-
can tobacco men are here awaiting de-
uision to embark leaf bought last spring
and since stored in Havana, owing to tho
refusal Of the customs authorities 60 allow
shipment
General Weyler decree was given under
agreement with tho Spanish tobacco mo-
nopoly aud Havana cigar manufacturers,
who paid a big sum to have American
leaf buyers shut out; hence It cannot well
be revoked. ANY exceptions made under
pressure from Washington would be re-
garded by the agents Of tho monopoly and
the Havana factory mon as an act of bad
faith on General Weyler.
