story, and the idea is constantly empha-
sized that it Is being written with the
life blood of the novelist. In this le-
spect all other religious curiosity has
been outdone. The book Is a failure in
three respects. First, instead of writ
ing a novel he attempted to write
prose epic. showing us the whole Gull
mination of the affairs of the nineteenth
century. An epic needs art, and The
Christian is lacking in this respect. 1t
is little but string of episodes. 1t
reminds one of the programme of a ru-
sic hall, first a comic song then some
tumbling and so on, one attraction af-
ter another. Moreover, according to
people who are in a position to know,
say that his description of London and
London life Is not true. Some one has
said The Christian is a combination
of Bible and New York Herald I
guess not. I should substitute the New
York World for the Herald You all
know the style in which the New York
World is written up. Everything is
written in a very Evolutionary fam
bu0yant, sensational manner, with little
regard to accuracy. In this respect it is
different from the New York Sun, which
is the best gotten up paper in the world.
Every department of the Sun shows lit
erary merit. A better literary training
is given by work on the Sun than is
given in any college.
1.-THE second failure Of the book Is
that If attanh1tc n hnn1la G ts
trail theme redemption. He accomplish
es his redemption by pitching into
everybody but fallen women. He has
for his redeemed John Storm who pos
sesses neither consistency of character
nor the tact needed by a reformer
John Storm is usually wrong and the
other people right. What makes Storm
interesting is the fact that he has a
trump card up his sleeve for all enler-
gencies. Most reformers have gotten
along in real life without trump card
'"The third reason Of the failure of the
book is because in writing it Game tried
to serve God and mammon. He tries
to picture the redemption of the world
and at the same time write a novel
which would succeed when dramatized.
For this purpose the novel is filed with
Incidents which would make good
scenes on the stage. Is there anything
good about the book? Yes, the dog.
Caine is especially good on dogs. lang
calls the dog am inappropriate blood
hound. I disagree with him. A dog is
never inappropriate Game in the novel
has also given some delightful situa-
lions and some good dialogues.
"Caine has done nothing for ltera-
ture. If anyone has not read The
Christian I should advise them to wait
till the present furore has died down.
In time the book will be consigned to
the cold dark limbo with Robert Els
mere, She The Heavenly Twins and
like books of passing fame"

BE JNYESTIGITED.

Rumors of Changes in Personnel of the
Polo Team-Funeral of William Bolton
| Other Fresh borough Items.
The 1855 train for New Haven was an
hour and one-half late yesterday after
noon owing to the track being blocked
by freight car just above the Thomp-
sonVllle station. A freight train was
coming to a stop on the north-bound
track when brake iron broke and
striking the ground threw the car over
the other track. The fast express south
had passed not five seconds before the
accident.
! Coroner Mix has notified Medical Ex-
aminer McGaughey to investigate as to
the cause Of William Haydens sudden
DEATH as there are some circumstances
connected with the death that demand
an investigation. Early last evening
nothing had been done and Coroner Mix
had not been in town. The medical ex-
amiuer was waiting to consult with
lsome other official before beginning the
investigation.
There was report about town yes
terday that the local polo managers
had secured two new players; also that
the last batch that were engaged came
here with the understanding that they
would win at least three games out of
five or ask no salary, and that the con-
ditions were of their own making. The
first two teams they had to tackle, the
New BritainS and WaterburyS, were too
fast for the Massachusetts players and
both games were defeats.

. Not a Line in Sagasta's Reply
That Could Offend This
Government.
Accepts Our Good Offices in an
Effort to Restore Peace
in Cuba.
The Document Said to Have Made
a Distinctly Favorable
Impression.

WASHINGTON, Nov. lit is stated
on good authority that Premier Sagas-
ta's reply to Minister Woodford's note,
the full text Of which was read at the
cabinet meeting, is eminently satisfac-
tory to this government. In it the
Spanish ministry pledges itself to COR
rect the abuses of power in Cuba which
was the subject of so much complaint
during the Weyler administration, and
gives assurance OF it's friendly feeling
toward the American people. 1t ac-
oepts our good Offices in an effort to re-
store peace in Cuba, and in a perfectly
respectfuland friendly spirit asks this
government, so far as possible, to re-
strain the insurgent sympathizers IN
the United States from giving material
aid to the enemies of Spain in Cuba.
The reply intima.es that but for the
assistance that has been given them by
tiiibusters from the United States peace
would have been restored long ago.
No Unfriendly Sentence.
The reply, it is stated, does not con-
tain sentence that could give ofense
or be construed into an expression of an
unfriendiy purpose or feeling against
the government of the United States.
On the contrary the note is stated to be
distinctly conciliatory i'll tone, although
insisting upon the right and duty of
Spain to put down al armed insurrec-
ton within its own territory. 1t is
evident that the reply has made a
favorable impression upon President
Mckinley and the members of the cab
met and it is not unlikely that one Of
the features of his forthcoming message
to congress will be discussion of the
Cuban situation from which it will APP
pear that there is nothing i'll the situa-
ton to Justify present interference on
the part of the United States.

BREAKING THE LAW.
Claimed the President Has No Right to
Stop Filibustering.

~
Stop Filibustering.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE Journals
Washington special says: 1t is con-
tended here by prominent lawyers that
the Spanish government has an entirely
erroneous idea about the power of the
executive department to prevent fihbus-
tering, and that the executive depart
ment is now violating the law in at
tempting to be agreeable TO the Spanish
government, in the matter of stopping
vessels loaded with arms bound for
Cuba.
1t is also contended that both the
present and the Cleveland administra.
tions have willtully misled the general
public as to the law re.ating to the tai
ing of munitions of war to Cuba. The
law, as laid down by these lawyers, is:
Spain has treaty with the United
States by which each country agrees
not to assist an enemy Of the other.
The Spanish government through it's
representative has fficially informed
the United States government there is
no war in Cuba; that the Cubans are
SIMPLY violating the municipal law of
Spain and the Spanish government is
/. endeavoring to enforce that law and
punish violator that, in view of this,
the United States government is bound
to accept the statement of Spain, with
which it has treaty, as being COR
rect status o. affairs in Cuba. There
fore, accor ling to law, there being no
war in Cuba. it is violating no law for
American ci,izens to send munitions Of
war to the Cubans, with whom Spain
declares it Is not at war, and to sell the
same to them.
Justice Story took this view in 1918
in condemn'ng the action of President
Monroe in the seizure of the American
Eagle which was being fitted out Tor
the service of one lactlon OF the Santo
