SOME ESTIMATES OF NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE,
On the Fourth of July this year the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Nathaniel Hawthorne was commemorated at Salem, Mass. Altho the magazinon have given space to critiques, apprecia tions, and reminiscences dealing with Hawthorne's genius and personality, on the whole this centenary seems to have attracted less attention than did that of Emerson, celebrated last year.
Yet one oritic, writing in one of our most prominent monthlies, claims that "Hawthorne will be remembered when Emerson is only a name'; and Mr Richard Le Gallienne, in Success (July), writes that Hawthorne' is the greatest literary artist-not forgetting Poe-that America has produced.' More- over, says Mr Le Gallienne,ho is unquestionably an indigenous product, a genuine American writer.' Hawthorne's style, at its bost, according to this last- named critic, is one of the most perfect medis employed by any writer using the English language.' Of this style we read farther:
BEER.
'Dealing, asit usually does, with an immaterial subject-matter, with dream-like impressions, and fantastic products of the imagination, it is concrete without being opaque-luminously concreto, one might say. No other writer that I know of has the power of making his fancies visible and tangible without impairing their delicate immateriality. If any writor can put the rainbow into words, and yet leave it a rainbow, surely it is Hawthorne,
No matter bow subtle or volatile is the matter to be expressed, his imagination is

skill so answerable to his imagination, that ho is able really to write so close to the spiritual fact as to leave nothing to be done by the reador-except to read. Often, as one roada híny, and anticipates. some approaching matter peculiarly tine And difficult, he wonders how the author can possibly put this into concrete words.'

Hawthorne's style, while uncommonly "central" and free from affectation, was also, as bis notc-books show, the product of considerable practise in the use o words. Indeed, it is hardly too much to say that the whole interest of his note-books lies in their exerciso books for his gift of expression. There is so much in them of unimportant observation, obser- vation so impersonal and so lacking either in personal or general interest, that they are to be explained on no other ground than that of a man using his pen for mere Exercise upon anything it came across, however trivial.
This theory of the note-booke, however, may be a little too euphemistic, too gene- rously adapted to cover what really does seem to have been a certain poverty and narrowness in Hawthorne's intellectual in- terest-a certain new England barrenness of the soil. His was certainly not a mind, exuberantly creative. On the co trary, he made the most of his inspiration to the uttermost farthing, and the manner in which his gift died before him, of

After speaking of certain small master- pieces among Hawthorne's short stories, masterpieces which, he claims, surpass Poe's tales in their quality of essential mystery, Mr Le Gallienne states that the two really great books this author producod are The Scarlet Letter and "The House of the Seven Gables. The Marble Foun, by some considered the author's master- piece, this critic describes as the monu- ment of what Hawthorne could

Mr Benjamin de Casseres, in the Critic (July), a special Hawthorne number, writes of our author as an emperor of shadows.

Hawthorne nowhere formulates this senso of mystery, but it stands shadowlike be hind each sentence. It is the breath of his literary body.'
In the samo magazine Mr Farncia Gribble writing of Hawthorne from an English Point of View,' takes exception to the torm provincial' as once applied by an eminent critic to Ilawthorne's work. Baye Mr Gribbe:
"
C
*Your true "provincial" is a man of the world-but of a small world: obviously belonging to his environment-such aa it is. Nathaniel Hawthorne, just as obviously, never really belonged to any one of the environments in which he successively found himself. 11o had, from time to time, u cortain professional contact with the ex- tornal world, as a weigher and gougor, as a¦ but I customs-house official, as a consul; socially be never was in touch with it.

There is hardly any period or ircumstance of his life in which that phrase is not a fair superficial description
his relations with his milieu.'
While Hawthorne did not despise the external world, says Mr Gribble, he in a sense avoided it. Consequently, his novels are not to be thought of as novels of roal life.
"They symbolize life instead of Yet if op soeks, says this depicting it." critic, for any profound and definite truth which Hawthorne may have sought to He con- symbolize, one is disappointed.

*In cloudland, no less than in real life, he seems to have been fumbling and feeling his way. Hosymbolized sentiments rather thau thoughts, sentiments, ton, which were probably incapable of exact definition. French critic has spoken of him as a possi mist; but that is wrong. Pessimisu im plies a doctrine, and Hawthorne had none. Moreover, Hawthorne lacked another great qualification for pessimism. He was in his way a happy man. His fortunate marriage insured his happiness, and his letters bear witness to it. But it was a somber hap- piness into which gaiety did not enter. His humor, which is considerable, is the humor of a lonely man-an unsociable kind of humor. One is often conscious of it, but seldom, if over, moved to laughter by it: and one is always more conscious of the Toote autogual tone of melancholy

Heavy firing was heard here early on the morning of July 4th, and continued all' day in the direction of Ta-Shih Chiso, and not only the smoke, but some of the guns could be seen distinctly, and the battle was watched with interest by the residents here from their house-tops.

THE HONGKONG HOTEL
COMPANY, LIMITED.
THE CHINA MAIL.
The ordinary meeting of shareholders in the Hongkong Hotel Company, limited, was held at the Hongkong Hotel at noon to- day.
'Mr E. Osborne was in the chair and there were also present Messrs R. C. Wilcox, H. C. Wilcox, G. Murray Bain, G. T. Veitch, Ho Kom Tong, Ho Fook, Lo Cheung Shiu, Chan Chan Nam, Ho U Shang and O. Mooney (Secretary.)
The Secretary read the notice convening the meeting.
The Chairman asid-The accounts for the past half year, as you will have seen from the Report, reveal a considerable diminution in the profits, no less a sump indeed than 836,938, the whole of which is due to the falling off in one item of revenue, viz, that derived from transient visitors, which in other words means that fewer of the travel- ling public have made use of the Hotel, To some extent this is due to the number of small Hotels and Boarding houses that have sprung into existence during the past few years, but in the main it is undoubted ly traceable to the cessation of tourist traffic in consequence of the War, and to the Ame rican Mail boats calling at Manila. Other sources of revenue have maintained their normal level, and in some instances even show an increase, despite the changing circumstances, so that although we have passed through a comparatively bad half year, we have no reason to anticipate that with a resumption of tourist traffic, we shall not revert to our former measure of prospe rity. Before proposing the adoption of the report and accounts I shall be pleased to Answer any question that may be put.
There being no questions the Chairman proposed, Mr Bain seconded, and it was carried, that the report and statement of accounts as printed be adopted.
Mr Ho Fook proposed, and Mr Veitch soconded, the re-election of Mr W. H. Potts as Director. Carried.
On the motion of Mr Lo Cheung Shiu, seconded by Mr H. C. Wilcox, Messrs H. 1. Jeffrics and A. R. Lowe were re-elected auditors.
The Chairman-Thank you, gentlemen, for your attendance. Dividend warrants will be ready on Monday morning.

For 20 minutes efforts were made to bring the boat to the surface, but without avail, and the position became more serious when several of the crew grow faint owing to the foulness of the air.
