The pecember smart bod


 The feature of the December Smart Set is undoubtedly the novelette,, 'iClav- ering and His Daughter" a story of Washington life, by new author, Fox croft Davis, whose meteorie entrance Into the field of fiction Is likely to be the sensation of the season. Totally unknown, this writer's first manuscript was not only accepted on sight by one of the most conservative publishing houses in America, but two new books were contracted for to form a series of three, all on the national politics and society centering at Washington. Meanwhile The Smart Set has secured the first work to be published under the name of Foxcroft Davis--a story of a remarkable man and a remarkable woman in the interesting setting of life at the nations capital. which no author has yet known so intimately and vitally. The appearance of this story is an event.
 It is a supreme test of the rest of the December number that even such a nov ell as 'Clavering and His Daughter" cannot overshadow the merit of the excellent short stories which follow it. Particularly does The End of the Story" by Emma Wolf, stand out from the mass of midwinter hction--an un- usual story of a unique situation, tragic in it's intensity, with a climax whose strength is equaled only by the subtle ty which leaves the reader with the book in his hands, living it over again and wondering.
 The two words which epitomize the whole number are Merit and Variety. The poems have the excellence and range always to be found in The Smart Set, and in the stories are humOr, pa- thos. romance, tragedy. comedy.
 A hint at the subIect-matter of some of the stories proves their variety--a life-mystery in India, a very human comedy among Western cowboys, manifestation of the subllminal self which decides a naval battle, how three people face an ethical problem in their lives. a strange million-dollar legacy, fancifuI satire on realism and ideal ism in 'life-views, bit of the super natural in real life, on women and wine and-iust a Iove-atory
 Some of the names on the title page are: William R. Lighton, Theodore Waters, Zona Gale, John Vance Cheney, Theodosia Garrison, Morgan Robertson, Kenneth Brown. Rosamond Marriott watson, Clinton DangerfeId, Edward BoItwood. Ethel M. Kelley and Frank s. Arnett.

Day by day we build our characters and without being conscious Of it day by day those characters are writing their imprint on our faces. How often in a crowd does one look around and is impressed by the many shades of temperament and disposition traced on the faces of old and young on plain and beautiful faces. How easy it ds Co note the narrow. selfish life or tho broad and sympathetic one by the curve of the lips. in the bending of tho brows ur the light in the eyes of even the passing stranger.

PORT ARTHUR INTACT.
Widespread Report Of Fall Of Russian
Stronghold Proves to Be
Erroneous.

A special from Toxic says: The ru-
mored fall of Port Arthur is officially
pronounced to be untrue.
An Associated Press dispatch saws:
A junk which left Port Arthur en-
Thur ,day last at midnight reports ter
rfic fighting on land and sea which
had then been going on for three days.
The highest japanese authority at
Che Foo says that the army and naval
commanders of the beseiging forces
had planned to begin their final assault
on Tuesday last and expected to effect
the capture by July 20, but that no Off
cial reports were expected from the
army or from Admiral Togo until the
present attack results in success CT
failure. Japanese correspondents at
Che Foo are now sending junks to the
Mao Tao Islands, ready to enter the
udl UOl ~ 1OAI al Iuu4 AAAAA1SoASsSA1 '~
ter the fall of the fortress.
The Associated Press correspondent
learns from the same reliable authorl-
ty that the movements Of tke Russian
Vladivostok squadron fastened The
present attack upon Port Arthur, tie
Japanese authorities realizing that if
these vessels were allowed to proceed
unhamoered any longer it meant the
division of Admiral Togo's fleet with
the ou.coming Of the Russian SHIPS
now cooped up by him at Port Arthur.
The most intense interest in the Port
Arthur situation is taken not only at
Che Foo, but in Shanghai and Tien
Tsin. Many commercial concerns IN
these places are continually wiring for
news. Many wagers are being made
at odds of two to one, in pounds stcr-
ling. that Port Arthur will not fall
within he next ten months, German
residents offering and Englishmen &C.
cepting the bets.
The general staff at Toxic annoInc'
ed Saturday evening that five Jap:n.
ese officers had been killed and forty
one woInded in the fighting which Las
been going on around Port Arthur the
last few days. The losses in men are
not given.
This is the first announcement Of its
kind since the beginning Of the siege
Of the fortress, and it indicates that
there has been serious fighting.
The reports of the storming OF Port
Arthur were received in st. Petersburg
with smiles of incredulity. The war
Office contradicts the rumored fall Of
the fortress.

cHUScH AND STATE RUPTURE.
Representative Of Pope is Given Orders

Representative Of Pope is Given Orders
to Leave Republic Of France.
A Paris special says: Foreign Min
ister Delcasse Saturday afternoon ad-
dressed e note to the papa1 nuncio that
in consequence of the rupture Of the
relations between France and the vati-
can. his mission in Paris no longer had
any object.
The pope's lengthy reply to the
French note, though most courteously
worded, merely amounts to a polite
statement that he does not intend to
infringe the stipuiations of the con"or-
dat and will not withdraw the letters
calling the bishops of Dijon and Laval
to Rome.
It is not expected that the rupt Ire
will have any immediate consequences
beyond the mutual withdrawal OF tne
representatives of France and the vati-
can aul the suppression of the en-
bassy and nunclature, as the denuncld-
tion of tn econcordat. requires paria-
mentary sanction.
The rupture of relations between
France and the vatican does 1ot cause
surprise. It has been generally fore
seen that Premier Combes was deer
mined to bring it about, despite the op'
position which doubtless he met from
certain members of the cabinet. The
impression prevails that the govern
ment Will be satisfied with having 2'v-
en- the vatican lesson. and that it
will not seek to repeal the concor lat
when parliament reassemDles.
The fact that the vatican's reply e
the French note was drawn up in l:al-
fan. which is the official language nei-
ther of the church nor of French dirlo-
macy, causes some irritation.

RUSSIANS BACK DOWN.
British Threats Of Summary Action
Brings Cars Government to
Time in Short Order.

Time in Short Order.
A London special says: The ten
sion in the Russo-British relations has
been relaxed and no rupture is now
probable
Count Beckendorff, the Russian an
bassador to Great Britain, Informed
Lord Lansdowne at conference
Thursday morning that if Russia had
committed a wrong she was ready
and willing to make full reparation,
but before any action could be taken
in the knight Commander case the
Russian government must have the
opportunity Of receiving the report Of
the commander of the Vladivostok
squadron.
Lord Lansdowne was not disposed
to unduly press the matter and prom
ises to wait a reasonable time.
It developed that the United States
is depending on Great Britain to OBJ
tain compensation for the loss of the
knight Commanders cargo. 1t is the
+ custom for ship owners to be respou-
sible for cargoes and therefore the
American claim is to be made to the
owners Of the Knight Commander,
who of course, are British, and who
in turn will make claim to the British
government.
While Russia is willing to make
full reparation of any wrong that has
been done in the case Of the Knight
Commander, Count Beckendorf, in
, conversation with Lord Lansdowne,
made no admission that the command
er Of the Vladiostok squadron had
Violated international law in sinking
the vessel. According to the Russian
view it was the duty of the command
er to destroy any supplies believed to
be on their way to the japanese, and
it is added that the papers he took
from the Knight Commander before
she sunk will establish whether her
cargo contained contraband. AS stated
in London official circles, the whole
! Russian case will rest On this point.
The British government anticipates
that Russia will make every effort to
get in communication with the Vladi-
vostok squadron and obtain the report
! 80 ;fo l.
Bile. What further concerns the Brit
ish authorities and, it is said, concerns
the United States as well, is the dan
gerous situation of other reutral ship
ping on the Pacific which have on
board goods which the Russian com
mander will consider contraband.
The protest made, therefore, has
wider application than the mere case
Of the Knight Commander.
In the house of commons Thursday
afternoon Premier Balfour, confirming
the announcements made in the above
dispatches, said that the acute stage
of the Red sea incidents had passed, !,
and that the Russian volunteer fleet
vessels would be withdrawn.
He laid down the British view that
no belligerent's warships could issue
from the Black sea and that volun.
teer vessels in issuing therefrom II
they took belligerent action either
had no right to issue or no right to
! take such action.
The strongest possible exception
had been taken to the seizure Of the
Malacca on the above ground, the pre-
mier added. The Russia government
had met the British contention n re-
gard to this particular incident.
AS to the knight Commander case.
the government had earnestly pro-
tested that the sinking Of that vessel
was contrary to the accepted practices
, Of the nations.

GOVERNORS SALARY BILL.
Finally Passed in Georgia House BY
"Constitutiona'' Majority.

Unconstitutional Majority.
In the Georgia house, Thursday, the
bill to increase the governors salary
from $4,000 to $4,000, the special order,
was brought up. The amendment Of
Mr.. knight, of Berrien, to make the
increase $4,000 instead of $4,000 was
read.
On an aye and no vote the amend
ment was carried by vote Of 1873 to 9.
This compromise was brought about
to make sure Of the necessary III
votes. When the bill goes to the SEN
ate, however. it is understood that the
senate will turn it down. and pass it
with the increase Of $4,000.
