Special Correspondence.
7 ONDON, july l3-It IS quite Inn
possible to write about literary
happenings here without referring
to the striking interview with
George Meredith, which has just app
poared in the London Chronicle, Dur
ing many years Of lnyalidsm the mind
OF the greatest living writer Of English
has maintained its brilllancy ana lbs
possessor kept closely In touch with
current events but 1t was feared by
his admirers that MIR. Meredith's recent
serious Illness might have proved too
much for even his amazing mental vi
tality. The recluse Of Box Hill Is now
seVcnty-siX. No one, however needs
to do more than read this interview
with George Meredith to be assured
that all is well with The mind that pro-
duced Richard Fcveral' Evidently
however. the Master" as he is called
rcVerenuy here, will write no more,
as he says that since this last Illness
he has felt IA peculiar dissemination
for work of all kinds" and adds that
the thought Of taking up a pen Is
quite abhorrent" But MIR Meredith
says that though his mind NOV seems
as IL II could not give out any more,
he Is as receptive az ever. And there
is no doubt about that, lie must read
his morning paper with ayidty for We
find him perfectly Informed upon every
topic which the world, and particularly
this country rs discussing today, The
war In the east, the subject OF women IS
rights, the political situation IN Eng
land, tho question about CONSUMPTION,
the tendency Of modern journalism
with all OF these topics he Is absolutely
familiar, and he is equally lnclsiVe In
dealing with each one Of them. But
probably II Is what Mr. Meredith had
to say regarding literature matters that
will be read with most interest in the
United states
In modern book-rcviewing he finds
what he terms IAN almost excessive ur-
banity Of treatments" 1T seems as
II critics were afraid to blame any
thing he says. This is particularly
evident in reviews Of poetry which have
been very frequent Of late our lau-
reate Is wrong In supposinp '.uNln VIII
not read poetry now, II ns that
they were never so anxious 90 read II,
They are continually on the look out
for It., and they appear to be receiving
n fair quantity which is nearly always
praised
Critics used 10 lay about them with
a will. To be sure, 1t was rather
broadsword and bludgeon style. But
now, l think criticism Is becoming too
urbane It is true the general level
OF literature has immensely improved.
In my youth we had a few great names
Dickens, Thackeray, George Eliot. |
think you have nothing to compare with
them now in the front rank, But I'm
the rank close behind the front your
attainment is certainly much higher
than anything we then possessed"
Much OF what Mr. Meredith says win
be resented I'm this country For in
stance, his declaration that fear Of
death Is the real cause of the English
objection to CONSUMPTION. MEN come to
me-" he says, "and say their trade
would suffer or they could not spare
two years OF their apprenticeship.

TRINIDAD LOSES.
Santa Fe to Use Hotel for Depot and
Build Hotel at Raton.

The Trinidad Chronicle News says:
Since the flood there has been per-
siStent rumor to the effect that the
Santa F'e officials are contemplating
moving the Cardenas hotel fixtures to
new building which the Harvey sys-
tenn will erect at Ration and will use
the present hotel building for a rail-
road station, and that the old station
will not be rebuilt
An official high in authority stated
in regard to this that no action had
been taken at all towards a perma-
nent settlement of the affairs here and
that nothing would be done until
after the road is opened up and the
waShouts are made good along the
line. He said that so far as he knew
there was nothing in the rumor.
The fact remains, however, that the
temporary track which was built
around the old station has been
strengthened and the curve made per-
feet and it now has a look of per-
manency- Apparently nothing has
been done towards replacing the
ground eaten by the flood. The ticket
agent was this morning installed in
the Cardenas hotel and the baggage
room will be in the laundry for the
present.
The Harvey people have complained
since the establishment of the hotel
here that it has never paid and that
it would have been much better for
them had they built the hotel at
Ration. They have had ample time to
test whether or not the hotel at Trini-
dad will be a better paying proposition
than it would in Ration.

CARNEGIE HERO MEDALS.
VIII Not Be Awarded Until January
of Next Year.

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 20.-At a meet
ing of the Carnegie hero fund COM
mission it was decided that no awards
of medals or benefits will be made by
the Carnegie hero fund commission
before the next meeting of the COM
mission. which has been fixed for
January Is. 1908. At that time the
ton is expected to report on 50 cases,
and medals and benefits will be
awarded at the coming meeting. The
report OF the organization, Thos.
Lynch chairman, follows:
The scope of the fund shall be con-
fined within the following limitations:
F1rst-To acts on which conclusive
evidence may be obtained showing
that the person performing the act
voluntarily risked his own life in saw
ing or attempting to save the life of
feliow-being, or who voluntarily has
sacrificed himself in a heroic manner
for the benefit of others.
'Second-Such acts must have been
performed by persons the nature of
whose duties in following their regular
vocation does not necessarily require
them to perform such acts
Third-Such acts must have been
performed in the United States of
America. tie Dominion of Canada, the
colony of Newfoundland. and the
waters thereof
'Fourth-Such acts must have been
performed on or after April IS. 1904.
Fifth-Heroic acts may be brought
to the attention of the commission by
direct application or through the pub
lie press"
The medal of honor to be selected
by the commission viii probably be
Of bronze or silver. It IS not the de-
sire of the corrmiSsion to have gold
medals on account of their intrinsic
value.
Seven cases have been investigated
by the officers of the commission,

Commercial growth is not the mere re-

not the fruit of accident. Our progress is
due alone to an adherence to rational pol
icies which do not change with changing

On the tariff Mr.. Fairbanks said: 1.-The
Republican party stands squarely by the
protective system: This system has vim
dicated itself. 1t is the basis of our pres

to revise the tariff whenever revision has
been essential in the public interest. 1t
is not in favor of revision for the mere
sake of change; it is not in favor of re-
vision along free trade lines
