Steven Millhauser won the Story Prize on Wednesday for his collection ''We Others,'' a book that the judges called ''a powerful and intriguing collection of stories, marked by page after page of beautifully written, intelligent and sensitive prose.'' The award, which is given annually to the author of an outstanding collection of short fiction, is accompanied by a $20,000 prize. Mr. Millhauser, who teaches at Skidmore College, is the author of several short story collections and seven novels, including ''Martin Dressler,'' for which he won a Pulitzer Prize in 1997. This is a more complete version of the story than the one that appeared in print. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
