SCRIBNER'S MAGAZINE

FOR 1902

THE AMERICAN "COMMERCIAL INVASION" OF EUROPE

By Frank A. Vanderlip

Formerly Assistant Secretary of the Treasury

A vitally important subject, treated in a striking and highly suggestive way by one of the best expert investigators and men-of-affairs of the country. The series of articles was undertaken especially for Scribner's and is the result of a journey through Europe during the summer. In the course of this trip of investigation Mr. Vanderlip gathered a vast store of new facts and information concerning the invasion of Europe by American industries and methods the "Commercial Invasion" of Europe, as it has so often been called,-and these facts, in addition to his previous thorough knowledge of the subject, are brought out in a peculiarly interesting and vital fashion. These articles will not be theoretic or statistical, but will be treated in a live and practical way. Mr. Vanderlip is a trained journalist, and brings to the work a graphic style such as few men in public life possess. His articles will be fully illustrated from most interesting material.

WALTER A. WYCKOFF

The author of "The Workers" will tell how American competition is affecting laborers in foreign countries, and how it is looked upon by them. The articles, which are the result of a special trip to Europe, are, in a way, complementary to Mr. Vanderlip's. This is the personal and dramatic side of the subject, and every one familiar with Mr. Wyckoff's work will anticipate the human and sympathetic manner in which he treats it.

F. HOPKINSON SMITH'S NEW SERIAL STORY

"The Fortunes of Oliver Horn," which began in the November Scribner's, will run through eleven numbers. This is Mr. Smith's longest and most ambitious novel, and in every respect as to interest of plot and charm of narrative his best. The early part of it is practically the history of the end of one civilizationthat of the old South, where the hero was born, and from which he is transferred to New York. The chief part of the novel deals with the life of an artist in New York, and so gives Mr. Smith the opportunity to picture the artistic and literary life of New York during the last thirty-five years, with which he has been so thoroughly familiar. Illustrated by Walter Appleton Clark.

RICHARD HARDING DAVIS'S NEW NOVEL

Captain Macklin" will begin during the year, and will fulfill in the highest degree the great expectations aroused by "Soldiers of Fortune," which when published brought to the reading world the realization of Mr. Davis's powers as a novelist. "Captain Macklin" is the author's ripest and most important work, and it has a special element of vividness and personal quality imparted to it by the fact that it deals with a life with which Mr. Davis has become very familiar in the course of his own experiences. Captain Macklin's career carries him through South American Revolutions and through military adventures in various parts of the world while Macklin himself is as interesting a character as Denis Duval might have become, and belongs to the same great company of gentlemen adventurers. "Captain Macklin" will prove to be the most popular, as it is the most ambitious of Mr. Davis's stories.

EX-PRESIDENT D. C. GILMAN'S RECOLLECTIONS

A worthy successor to the long series of notable reminiscences which have appeared in Scribner's will be the recollections of Ex-President Gilman of Johns Hopkins University. These reminiscent papers, dealing with much of the most important intellectual movement of the last quarter-century, have a strong personal flavor and are full of anecdote and character.

LIFE OF DEEP-SEA FISHERMEN

Readers of Scribner's will readily recall the name of James B. Connolly, the author of "A Chase Overnight," and other stirring sea tales, published in the Magazine. Last summer, accompanied by the artist M. J. Burns, Mr. Connolly lived among the fishermen of the north of Europe, taking part in their voyages, and comparing their life with that of his own familiar Gloucester and Maine fishermen. In several articles he will tell of his experiences and of the rough, adventurous life of the three great fishing fleets of the world-those of the North Atlantic, those of the North Sea, and those of the Baltic. These articles, with their stirring account of sea life and their extraordinarily spirited drawings, will probably record one of the last opportunities to see the fisherman's life at its full, as the tendency is rapidly growing to replace the old sailing vessels by steamers, which will make the fishing of the future more of an industry than of an adventure.

THE STORY OF THE PENNAMITE WARS

In the Spring the Magazine will publish two papers by Alfred Mathews on an episode of American history, the full interest of which has never before been realized: The story of the struggle between the colonies of Connecticut and Pennsylvania for the region of Wyoming, the so-called Pennamite Wars. Few people know that the dispute of these two colonies led to a succession of armed conflicts, and finally was a large factor in the famous Wyoming Massacre. The story tells of the final settlement of the colonial dispute by Congress. Fully illustrated with drawings by Howard Pyle, F. C. Yohn and others, and by portraits and documents.

SHORTER FICTION

It would be difficult to note in full the wealth of good short stories to be published in Scribner's during the year. The strength of the Magazine in this kind of literature during the past is the best assurance. It may be mentioned, however, that there will be stories by
