The Age of Achievement.

The Bookman" gives an interesting
list of authors who achieved success
late in life. and Of others who. on the
contrary, won their fame early. In
this age Of hurry it is rather instruc-
tive and conducive To calm to see how
many men of renown did not write
their greatest works till they were well
mast middle life. Thackeray did not
begin Vanity Fair" till he was thirty
five years old, and all his longer novels
were written after that age. Balzac
was past thirty when he wrote the
"Comcdie Humane" Milton was fifty
when he wrote paradise Lost" Swift
wrote 'Gulllver's Travels" at fifty mine.
Defoe was a hack journalist when, at
dfty-eight. he wrote Robinson Cru
soc" Scott was forty-four when the
first ''Waverley'' was published. George
Eliot did not even begin writing novels
until she was over thirty, and Middle
march" her finest work, was not pro-
duced till she was hfty-two.
On the other hand, we have Byron,
Burns. Gautier Pope, Kipling, and
Dickens. who did some of their finest
work while still very young. But it
should be noted that these men did not
write novels. unless Kipling's Light
that Failed" can be considered wor
tbv specimen. They wrote short stories
and poems, in which flashes of inspi-
ration and great cIeverness may take
the place Of sustained and serious work.
Recent fiction has been largely dis
tinguished for crudeness, dullness and
weakness. The novel by a new writer
is apt to lack finish, either in style or
conception. There may be faults Of
English which CRATE on the sensitive
| reader; OF there may be a defect in the
plot which lets one down with a bump
! from the heights Of idealism to the side
walk. On the other hand, there are
| authors whose style is perfectly fin
! ished. but who seem TO have nothing
to say It sets one thinking whether the
vaunted specialism of the age has not
its serious faults and whether. after
all the we'll educated. all around man,
who has seen and pondered much, is
not quite as likely to write a great
novel as the one who has done nothing
else and plumed himself on quickly ac-

THE GERMAN INDEMNITY.
4 Belief That China is Not Being
Fairly Treated.

The Government authorities in WASH
ington have taken note of the criticisms
from Berlin said to be based on semi-of-
fetal utterances of the statements tele-
graphed from Washington to American
and English newspapers. concerning the
large indemnities asked by Germany and
other European nations for the injuries
done to their interests in China. While
no official comment on the criticisms is
obtainable for publication, it may be
said that the Washington Government
has not been influenced by them TO
change it's opinion that China is not be-
ing treated fairly.
The German Foreign Office and press
have assumed too much in regarding the
indemnity figures sent from washington
as having been given out in an Official
statement. They did not become public
in that way but there was no room lof
doubt that they were correct.
The Berlin officials persist in stating
that the indemnity demanded by France
amounts to $50, go 600, while Germany s
claim aggregates only $50 ,009,0 600. The OF
fetal information in the possession or the
Government is that France asks Tor 500,
00o,00O or s9.000000 less than she Is creu-
tied with asking by Berlin.
While Germanys demand may be NOM
inaIly only $60,010,000, it is Alsed on a SOFT
of compound interest stipulation ana -
understood here to have reached the ng-
| ure of $4,000 coo and will ultimately
reach $50 600 900 if punitive expeditions
continue and the large force of German
| troops is maintained in China much ION
ger. If Germany decides to demand only
! S6O 000000 the Washington authorities VIII
! be surprised. The original information
/ that the figures would be higher has not
/ been corrected officially.
! From what was learned yesterday there
/ can be no doubt that the punitive expedi-
| tions sent out from Pektn by the Ger
/ mans and French are not regarded with
/ favor here. 1t may be going too far to
! say that the Government regards these
/ expeditions as designed to cause more
! trouble in the hope of paving the way for
! the territorial partition of China, but

BROOKLYN BRIDGE TOO Low.
The Supreme Court Asked to Con-
strue "a Charter Party.

The Brooklyn Bridge occupies a promi-
nent part in a petition for a writ of certi-
orari. filed yesterday in the admiralty
case of Sutton Mencke against the cargo
Of the ship Benlarig, in which the court is
asked to review the judgment of the Cir
cult Court of Appeals for the Second cir
cult in favor of the owners of the cargo.
The question involved is the construc-
tion of the terms of the customary char
ter party, regarding the place of dis
charging cargo, as effected by the unus-
ual circumstances of the case.
The Benlarig reached New York from
Java, with cargo OF sugar and was or
dered to the Arbuckle Refinery in Brook
lyn to discharge it. Her maSts Of steel
in one piece were too tall TO permit her
passage under the Brooklyn Bridge, and
rather than cut off the ten feet, which
would allow her TO pass, II was agreed
TO lighter the cargo, and settle the eX-
pense afterward. The district court de-
cided in favor of the ship. but the Circuit
Court of Appeals reversed this. and found
in favor of the Arbuckles. The Supreme
Court is asked to review the last decision
and interpret the clause of the charter
party relating to the discharge of cargo.
The matter was taken under advisement.

one striking quality, without regard TO

that almost all the great masters OF
fiction have been men who could do
more than one thing well in the way OF
writing, and who while making itera-
ture a business. did not confine them
selves to one department of it. Thack-

George Eliot was an essayist and jour
nalist when she came to London at the

port the result of their conference with
President Mckinley and Secretary Root,
spent a busy day sightseeing and renew
ing some old acquaintances. After Wis
itng some friends in the business district
three of them-Senor Capote, President of
the convention: Senior Portuondo. and
Senior Betancourt-went to Governor ISL
and by invitation and took luncheon with
General Brooke. whom they had met in
Cuba when he was Governor General
They were shown over the island, and a
band concert was given in their honor.
From Governors Island they returned
to the Fifth Avenue Hotel. whore they
were met by Gen. 7. Estrada Palma. A
conference lasting nearly two hours fol-
lowed Nearly all the matters which
brought the delegates to the United
States We're gone over and General Pal
mas views were ascertained. There is
reason to believe the subject of the ques-
tion of 4 fitting candidate for the Cuban
Presidency was brought up and that the
possibility of General PaIma's selection
was discussed.
A friend of the delegates told reporter
intended TO sound General Palma on this.
as there is a large element in Cuba that
! regards him as candidate on whom all
could unite General Paima's services
here as head of the Cuban Junta have
resulted in great admiration for him
( throughout the island which, it is said,
some of the delegates share.
General Palma, when asked about this
coughed. bat wouIu say nothing. Senior
Portuondo, who was Secretary of State
and Vice President of the Cuban Revolu-
| tionary Government, said this evening
| that he expected the convention would
finish it's labors IN two weeks at the most
and a resolution would be adopted ex-
pressing its attitude in respect TO the
| Platt amendment.
When the American nation recognizes
! Cuba as an Independent Government" )"
said he, Cuba win be ready 70 give to
| the Americans everything they want not
! inconsistent with their ideas of national
| honor. Ninety-nine per cent Of the Cubans
want absolute independence, and by that
we mean sovereignty and the right TO
/ conduct our own affairs abroad as well as
| at home. Our preference, of course, viii
| always be for America We viii never
| help another nation against America, but
/ we want 70 ue tHutDFIluciit III IAiS eo-t
| duct OF our affairs.
| Personally, I am sure now that this
| country will recognize Cuba's independ-
/ ence and Will receive its representative
/ at Washington and announce it to the
I world If that occurred after the Platt
! amendment had been accepted, the ques-
/ ton is would the other nations recognize
! Cubas independence in view of that
amendment. There are doubts in our
minds on this. However, 1 believe it will
all be settled satisfactorily and that the
| fall will see Cubas first national cleo
ton"
Tonight the delegates went TO the opera.
| Tomorrow they will lunch at the Lawyers
Club with r. A c. Smith and Will be
presented by him TO the stock exchange in
the afternoon. They viii sail for Havana
