The American writer's who go over
and settle down in England to write
a novel of American life bid Eair to be-
come a positive procession. Miss Eliz-
abeth L. Banks is the last person NAM
ed as taking the popular course. Thus
far the result of these long ventures is
not very perceDtible in America itself.
Al intervals notices appear in the Eng
lish reviews of some startlingly strong
and truthful portrayals of American
life, which when you read of it N the
American reviews, does not seem to be
at all a miraculous performance. and
which, among American readers. you
may never hear mentioned. No doubt.
in stepping a little away from an oh
ject. there is the possibility of an all
round view that would not be possible
otherwise. But, then, on the other hand,
it is easily possible to get so far from
an object as to have no view of it what
ever.

1 had word a few days since, from
Hamlin Garland, who set out several
months ago, as I think I mentioned in
this correspondence ait the time, for the
Klondike. At the time he wrote he had
covered 500 miles of pack trail between
Ashcroft. 2. c., and HaZelton. He re-
ports the trail as lined with prospectors
who were struggling forward with poor
horses over a muddy and rocky t-a:.
He warns all who come that the trail is
a third longer than appears on the
plane surface of the map; that for long
distances feed is scarce: that the mud
is deep, and that the streams are
treacherous. The trail from Hazelton,
he says, is being blazed by a, govern
ment party, but is absolutely unknown
at present by anyone in Hazelton. He
reports trampers on the trail as half
starved and eaten by mosquitoes, and
ae warns all men who are going into
the Klondike on foo1 to keep off the
Ashcroft trail.
