WHEN ToLsToI WRITES A BOOK

Count Leo Tolstoi is such an original
author that It is not in the least sur
prlsing that his modus operandi when
writing book is equally 3d. AS soon
as he has decided what the plot Of a
new novel Is to be he makes a rough
sketch Of the whole, leaving out de-
tails, using for the purpose quarto pa
per OF the commonest description,
probably from motives Of economy, as
his handwriting is SO large that he
uses an enormous amount Of paper for
very little work; this he gives to his
wife or one OF his daughters to rewrlte
and reduce to something like neatness.
AS soon as the first manuscript Is ready
he works up the plot and fills In some
of the details, writing his own com
ments and ideas, for future alteration,
on the margin.
From the first copy a second and
third are made, each In the same way.
IL there Is any part with which Count
Tolsoi Is very much dissatisfied, he
will take the trouble to write and re-
write It as many as eight or nine times,
sooner than pass anything with which
he is not quite pleased; he very seldom
succeeds at once in describing any
very remarkable scene, and when any
great difIiculty presents itself he adopts
the highly original way Of getting over
Il and collecting his ideas by playing
a game Of Patience"
Critical as he is about his own work,
Count Tolsoi meets with still sharper
cri, .cism from his wife and family, and
as he places great reliance on their
Judgment and good taste in all things
relating to literature, as soon co q new
novel Is completed he reads 1t over to
them, in order that they may suggest
such alterations as they think advisa-
BILE; some of which suggestions he acts
upon. When the proofsheets are sent
in their correction absorbs his whole
time and attention, and 1t is said that
no living author gives his publisher so
much trouble owing to the numberless
alterations he insists upon.

WILL DIVIDE THE DEMOCRACY.
Bryan's Anti-AnnexatIon Sentiments
Find No Popular Echo.

In their recent speeches against
this Nations control Of any fur

many that Bryan and Cleveland
have sounded the keynote Of the
Democratic enlightenment CON
tentions of the next few years
and that upon this issue will the
disorg ganized and divided Dem
ocracy attempt reunion of their
scattered forces. Sorry indeed
will be the defeat of any party
that now en1bodies such princi-
pie in their platform. Spain can
never repay this nation for the

served as a reminder of the pro-
verb about the impossibility of
pleasing everybody. Inasmuch
as the presidents working hours
have lately been running from
twelve to eighteen out of each
twenty-four, it would appear that
he should have received credit, in
stead Of censure, when he devoted
half hour to receiving, the Off
GERS of the educational association
and the members of the important
committees of the convention.
Had he attempted to receive them
all at one time, in his present
tired and wornout condition, he
would probably have had to go
from the reception to his bed and
to send for his physician. Those
who objected because they did
not get an opportunity to shake
the presidents hand doubtless
did SO without thinking that the
president has other and more i'm
portant duties, especially when
the country is conducting a war,
than shaking hands with all those
who visit Washington.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.

ETOQ Our Regular correspondent.
WASHINGTON. d. c., July 10, 1898.
The war news of the week has
been both good and bad. We
have Santiago and its garrison at
our disposal, which is good, but
we have the yellow fever in our
army over there, which is very,
very bad. AS yet the fever cases
are not numerous enough to cause
any serious alarm, but the posi-
blllties of its spread among our
men is appalling. A dozen SAM
tiagos, Spanish armies, and fleets
would not compensate us for an
epidemic of yellow fever among
our brave boys in Cuba. The
authorities are, Of course, thor
oughly alive to the danger, and
nothing is being left undone to
keep the dangerous disease from
spreading in our army. It has
been known for some time that
there was yellow fever in Santi-
ago, and it was feared when the
refugees from the town began to
pour into our lines that some
of them would bring the
dreaded scourge with them.
The president desires that
everything possible shall be done
to keep our men from being ex-
posed to the danger of taking the
fever, and has issued very posi-
tive orders to that effect.
Good news came from Admiral
Dewey. Floods have prevented
our army from taking the aggres-
sive against Manila, but the
cruisers Raleigh and Concord
have destroyeda Spanish fort in
the bay of Subig and captured its
garrison of 1900 men with all
their arms and ammunition, with
out the loss of All American.
This capture was precipitated by
the action of the commander of
the German gunboat Irene, who
had taken upon himself the
authority to forbid the Philippine
insurgents attacking the fort. He
took his gunboat out of range of
the American shells as soon as he
saw the Raleigh and Concord
coming. and he will probably
think twice before he again at
tempts to assume any authority
in the Philippines. Dewey has

shown him who was boss of the
whole outfit.
What sort Of a government
shall we give Hawaii? Not even
the interest In the war news can
keep that question entirely in the
background. The commission
composed of three Americans and
two Hawaiians appointed by the
president to report a form of gov
ernment for the islands haye no
easy task, The American mem
bers, Senators Cullon aud Nor
gan and Representative Hit, who
expect to start for Hawaii about
the tenth of August, have had
several conferences, and MIR.
.Cullom had a long talk with
President Mckinley. So far
serious objections have been
been raised against every form of
government proposed. A terri
torial form Of government is OBJ
iected to because 1t has been here
tofore used only as a preparatory
step to statehood, and few are
willing. to commit themselves III
favor Of making Hawaii a state
at any time. The commission
form of government that the Dis
trict Of Columbia has is objected
to because under it the governed
have no vote or say III any public
matter. What the commission
will endeavor to accomplish is to
draw up a form of government
that will give the Hawaiians abb
solute home rule and leave the
question of future statehood in
abeyance. Then its recommenda-
tion will require the approval of
congress before it can be put into
effect.
Signs are plentiful that war
and navy department officials re-
gard the end of the war as al
most, if not quite in sight. A
gentleman of influence called at
the war department to see about
getting a commission in the vol
unteer army for young relative,

A comparison after the first

be the final disposition of them
is another question, but our duty
to humanity as well as our own

brought upon lis the horrors of

possess even the temporary fasci-
