WASHINGTON, Feb. tSpocial.-Since the
House decided not to investigate the election in
the With Kentucky District Speaker Carlisle has
steadily improved in health, and his friends say
that he will be able TO resume his duties as
Speaker tomorrow. He was at the Capitol to-
day. but did not take the chair lie looked into
the matter of the appointment Of two super
numerary or unauthorized members of the Library
Committee his attention having been called to the
fact that the law limits the membership Of the
Joint committee on the library to three members
OF the Senate and three Of the House.
1t seems that before the violation Of law could
be corrected tie Speaker fell sick and he promised
to give the matter his early attention, He said
to-day that the membership Of the committee will
be reduced to three, the statute prescribes,
which is really kind OF him. 81 course, no Demo-
crat will voluntarily relinquish his committee
place to which he has been assigned. and it is
suggested that the House will create a new com
miftec to cooperate with the Senate Committee
on Additional Accommodations for the Library.

asked him whether II was not a difficult and eX-
nensye piece of business to land Chinese in British

restrict that sort Of immigration.
Mr. Kearney was disposed TO take the negative
of both propositions and lost his temper when

THE STORY OF New York. BY Elbridge
S. Brooks, illustrated. OF the "Story
of the States" series. Boston; d.. Lo-
throp Company, Publishers. Washing
ton: G. G. Pursell.
The story of persistent and practical en-
deavor is always interesting whether it
deals with the creations of romaneeor or with
the real men and women of our every
day life. This is, in the man, the design
OF the series known as the "Story of the
States" 1t is to tell the story of the peo-
pie, and this initial volume, relating the
story Of New York, is fitting one to lead
off the series, because in a distinctive
American sense the Empire State has led
the rest. Against the background of his
toric facts the author builds the Frame
work ofa family record and the Dutch
sbip-carpenter, Teunis Jansen, who in
1867 came to New York ito grow up with
the country" lives on in his sons till 1883.
In them the reader sees, throughout the
book, the growth of the average citizen.
