Pante, Jan. 22—The Intense excitement created by the production of a dramattzed version of Emile Zola's L' Assomnolr,” at the Amblgy, last Saturday, bas necessorlly re- vived the emoldering controversy touching the new literary school of which ie claims to be the head, and of which hie Is admittedly the most distingulshed ornament.
