The English reviewers claim 60 have
been the first to discover Mr.. Stephen
Crane, and they are by no means ashamed
as yet, Of their discovery While the only
notices we have, up to this writing seen
OF Mr. Cranes latest book. "rhe Thir d
Violet" IN American journals, includ-
ing one by X, II. StOddard, dismiss 10 in
decidedly contcmptuous fashion. The
Athenaum and The Academy, Of London
find in it ample reason to repeat their ailir-
nations concerning the authors genius
and to place him in the front rank Of Eng
lish and American writer's.
Here, for instance, is the way the review
in the New York Home Journal closest
''It is impossible to see the argument for
writing books Of this character. This
young author, however, has unquestion-
ably more than an average ability. The
mystery remains that he should direct it
into such channels. There Is not word
to be said in favor of The Third Violet,
whose reasons, even for It's n ame, does
not appear till we reach the last page"
And here is tho way the London Aoa-
denny closes a review of considerable
lcngthi
"Mr. Cranes dialog, so far at least as II
has sentiment for an element, depends for

It's fitness for the purpose and the people

| throws from moment to moment upon the
nsensibe environment Of his characters

symbollcal relation to the narrative in
which they occur; the sky is not clouded
when his herO's prospects nre over cast, nor

heroine weeps they are effective because
inanimate nature is pictured with just
such flashes of observation as the senres
will still busily register while the intel

is concentrated wholly upon different
matter. Human fates and passions thus
are shown in their due proportions in their
| right rclatiOn-none the less all-import-
ant TO their patients because to all appear
ance, nugatory in the general process.
'By this latest product of his genius our
| impression Of Mr.. Crane is confirmed that
| for psychological insight, for dramatic in
tensity, and for potency of phrase he Is
already in the front rank Of English and
l. American writers Of fiction; and that he
| possesses u certain separate quality which
| places him apart. II is a short story and 9
slender; but taking it in conjunction with

Washington. June 30.-After tedious
consideration OF the tariff bill the sem
ate wound up with q half hour Of live
ly and amusing colloquy between SEN
ators Tillman of South Carolina and
Chandler of New Hampshire
The former had proposed an amend
ment to the tariff bill providing a 800
head tax on immigrants. and restric-
ton against all those not coming to the
United States to become citizens.
Mr.. Tillman made an earnest speech
on the depressed condition of labor, but
he was soon diverted an his theme by
Mr. Chandler The isS.er, adopting a
style of mock gravity. directed the dis
cussion toward Mr.. Cleveland's admin
istration.
This in turn brought from Mr.. Till
man a vehement criticism Of the late
president while Mr. Chandler drolly
protested against these assaults on Mr..
Cleveland by a member Of his own
party.
When the fun had been fast and fu-
rious for some time, the Tillman amend
ments were defeated-yeas, 3; nays. 4s.
The three affirmative votes were cast
