1.-THE Stumbling Block" by Edwin Pugh,
is a most remarkable novel. 1t is entirely
original in conception and plot; the quality
Of atmosphere impaired to each changing
scene and the clear and effective analysis
Of character are very striking and unusual.
It is a book which takes a great hold on
the reader and one which should justly
be expected to make a sensation. The illus
t~rations are by R. NJ. Crosby. whose clever
work In Life has attracted much favorable
attention. Published by A. s. Barnes & Co.

On W. II. Hearst, at Sea. TO Defend Suit
for Fireworks Damages.

Solomon Landau, whose son was killed
by the explosion of fireworks in Madison
Square last election night. sued the city
for s25 600 damages. Just before the case
came on for trial, Corporation Counsel
Rves remembered that in order to put
the city in position to recover from w.
r. Hearst, who gave the exhibition, what
ever damages might be adjudged against
the city, the third party must be notified
to defend.
Mr.. Hearst was then on the Kaiser Will
helm H.. bound for Europe. 1t was easy
to send a cable message but not so easy
to get proof of it's delivery.
Accordingly this message to Mr. Hearst
was sent across, to be transmitted by the
Marconi system to the steamship as she
neared Plymouth.
City of New York has been sued for SIS 900
in New York County Supreme Court by
Solomon Landau for damages for death OF
George Landau by your fireworks explosion
on election night, Nov last, and notifies
you to defend this action.
When the Kaiser got here on the return
voyage, it was learned by the Corporation
Counsel that George Kroncke, the opera
tor aboard, had received the mesa re
from the coast OF Ireland while the ship
was day out and that the message had
been delivered to Mr.. Hearst in his state
room at clock in the morning. Kroncke

LONDON, June 8.-The debate on the bud

to-day, when q motion to be made by the
Right Hon. Henry Chaplin tConservative),
formerly President of the Board Of Agr-
culture will raise the tariff question, which.
II is expected, will bring about crucial de-

Of Colonial SECRETARY Chamberlain.
The Daily Neus, a Radical organ, declare
that some powerful members of Mr., Cham
berlain's own party believe that he will
submit his resignation to the King after
a Cabinet Council, which is to be held this
afternoon prior to the opening of the debate.
There seems to be no doubt that the
Council will be wholly occupied by the
question of preferential tariffs, and apart
from the opposition's interested views
there is reason to believe that some OF
the members of the cabinet, who are already
,nsympathetic toward Mr.. Chamber
lain's proposals, will become avowedly
hostile TO them In conscqus nee of MrCham-
berlain's letter the substance Of which
was cabled to THE SUN on Sunday.
Onc of thps" is believed to he Mr. Richie.
Chancellor OF the ExcheqIer. whose speech
is anticipated with keen interest.
Mr., Chaplin, who is an avowed protec-
tionis, and Tory of the old school, will
attack the Government for withdrawing
the corn duty.
His motion, meni ioned above, is an
amendment to the Finance bill, declaring
that the remission of indirect taxation.
that is, the registration duty imposed on
corn in 1902, involves a needless and in
furious disturbance to trade and serious
loss OF revenue.
He will urge that If a remission Of indi-
rect taxation ia necessary it ought to be a
reductio in the duties on tea and other
articles of general consumption.
1t is possible that the Speaker will rigor-
ously limit the scope OF the debate insist
ing that the discussion be confined to Mr..
Chaplins amendment, in which case the
opposition. it is declared. will endeavor to
inveigle the Government into further reve-
lations of its policy
This attempt may be defeated, and a
crisis, which is about equally dreaded and
desired. may be averted, or at least post
poned
