Ballantyne & Son. Miss Johnston's literary spirit trends toward the romantic, the adventurous. It the average reader largely, it is ted, because it propounds no ultra susp gerious problems In ethies. It affords at all , brisk movement and a cheerful Doints a Vista. To Haye and To Hold breaks new ground. It ts a story of the very early colonial Hfe at Jamestown, Va., the plot turning upon the historic sale of wives to the settlers for tobacco consideration. There 4s danger, Intrigue and adventure a-plenty, With a pronounced love interest continuous- ly appealing to the reader. The book is In- itely superior to some others which have d a wide popularity in the past few f somewhat the same stripe. Yet it May be questioned whether it contatins the s of assured permanence as part of rature of fiction of this end of the : century. bur ISLAND IMPOSSIBLE.

Fruitiess Attempts te Displace the Spooner Philippine Bill. An effort was made in the Senate yester- day by Mr. Morgan to displace the present unfinished business—the Spooner Philippine Dill—by the substitution in its stead of the Nicaragua canal bill. While Mr. Morgan's motion failed, 15 to 33, the Philippine meas- ure had a narrow escape from being dis- placed by the Alaskan civil code bill, on mo- tton of Mr. Carter, the motion being de- feated on a roll call, 2 to 24. ne unfinished business, the Spooner bill, being before the Senate. Mr. Morgan moved to proceed to the deration of the Nic- araguan canal bili. ‘Phis motion, if carried, would displace the Spooner bill as the un- finished business. Mr. Lodge. In charge of the unfinished business, demanded the ayes and noes.
