Why Speaker Carlisle Asked Delay.
HE WISHES MORE TINE TO EXAMINE THE AFfiDAyfTs
IN THE THoBB CONTEST.
The letter Of Speaker Carlisle laid before the
House committee on elections saturday, was as
follows: Il learn from the proceedings OF your
committee that an application has been made by
counsel for contestant to reopen the case and
allow additional testimony to be taken, and as /
have had time only TO glance hastily at the AFT
daSits filed In support OF this request beg leave
10 suggest that it would be proper not 10 decide
the matter finally until can have a reasonable
opportunity To examine the papers, and II neceS-
sary ne afiidayits. so far as the aidavits charge
or intimate any improper conduct upon my part In
reference TO the election either before or after 1t
was held, j am ready now 10 contradict them In
the most positive manner by my own affidavit.
But there are other things in the papers oi which
4 cannot have personal knowledge, and which, Ii
LEFT unanswered, might produce an erroneous i'm
preston upon the minds OF the committee. Please
present this note 10 the commlttee. l will, OF
course, be entirely satisfied with any course the
committee may choose 10 take, but II seems TO me
that under the circumstances ought to have an
opportunity TO carefully examine the papers and
take such steps as may be thought proper before
the application now pending is disposed Of"

Berlin dispatches 10 the sunday papers say:
"a calm which Official circles know to be decep-

Russian governments have exchanged assurances
OF peace aspirations 10 which nobody attaches i'm
