READING FOR THE PEOPLE. What Col. Carroll D. Wright Seys of the Proposed Public Library in Washington. Col. Carroll D. Wright, who is at the head of the Department of Labor, is greatly interested im the establishment of « public library in this city. “In Boston, which is my home,” he said, in the course of s conversation with a Sram re- no restrictions in the way of every resident of | °¢p' the city taking books from the library. When person applies st the library for s book the name is given to a police officer, who looks the applicant up at his or ber home, merely to as- certain whether he or she would be likely to take care of books. The proportion of books lost out of the great number taken out each it is hardly worth consid- ering. This illastration demonstrates not only the popular need for such an institution as a public library in a city, but the appreciation with which it is used. “A publie brary should | be,cotablished here ibrary of Congress lic library. ‘The collection of books is too valuable to be used for such # pur and the library should continue to be in the future as in the past the great store house of the lit- treasures of the country. It is true that Se brary of Congress under the operation of the Be copzright law receives all the current liter- ‘Bat what is to prevent the passage of S'inw authorizing the deposit of one of the two volumes of each book ¢« oprrignted in 0 public rary of this city? The library of Congress Spee -$ of all such books. One copy the library and the other ced in the publie library of the city. Or if it is thought best that the library of Congress should retain two copies of each book copy- righted then the law could be changed so as to require the deposit of three copies. In this way the library of Congress would have two copies and the public library one copy. The cost would of course be trifling to the publisher or author. “I heartily approve the suggestion made in ‘Tux Sran that the books of a general character not needed in the work, of the departments be transferred from the tment libraries to such a public library. increased advant- ages which the employes of the department would enjoy as com; with their present advantige are obvious and need no argument. From the two sources I have mentioned a fine public Hbrary could be started without cost, except that of moving the books. Of course, some place niust be provided, and Congress should authorize the erection of « handsome library building in this city. The operating expenses of this library would probably not be iueh more than is now expended in the differ- eat departmental libraries in handling the books of a general character. ‘The opportunity of establishing a fine public livrary in this city at a minimum cost is, in my opinion, extremely favorable. When I speak of a public library I mean, of course, a reading room in connection with it, for I don't consider that a library amounts to much unless there is a reading room.” Sea oe CAPITOL GLEANINGS. A BiM to Increase the Currency—Notes From Committee Rooms, Ete. Mr. Turner (Kas.) introduced in the House yesterday bill “to provide the government with means to increase the currency.” The bill is somewhat similar in its provisions to the Dill introduced in the Senate by Senator Stan- ford providing for government loans on real estate. Mr. Turner's bill directs the estab- lishment of the land loan bureau under the ‘Treasury Department, and provides for the ap- pointment of a commissioner and an assistant commissioner and a deputy commissioner for each state. Subordinate officers are also pro- vided for. Provision is made for the issue of U. 8 notes to the amount of 2500,000,000 and of additional amounts that may be necessary from time to time, the notes to be full legal tender. They are to be given by the govern- ment as loans on unincumbered agricultural land, notes to the value of two-fifths of the land being ised to applicants in whose favor reports recommending the loans have been made by the proper officers of the bureau. SENATOR INGALLG BODS UP SERENELY. Senator Ingalls was in his place in the Senate yesterday, looking just as unconcerned as though he was not a candidate to succeed him- self. The Senator will not discuss the situation in Kanaas, but he evidently feels that he is all right. TO INVESTIGATE THE KILLING OF SITTING BULL. The McAdoo resolution, adopted by the House without division, reads as follows: “Whereas, it is being charged in the public press and elsewhere, to the involving of the national honor, that certain Indian reservation police officers, acting under the authority of the civil and military powers of the United States, «lid, in arresting the late Sitting Bull, one of the chiefs of the Sioux Indians, un- jastifiably kill the said Sitting Bull, and after- ward barbarously mutilate his remains; there- fore. be it iesolved, That the Secretary of War and of the Department of the Interior be, and they are hereby, requested to send to this House the official’ statements and correspondence in their possession, or that of their subordinates, relating to said arrest and killing, more especially the reports of these officers and agents directly concerned in ordering or effect- ing the arrest id Sitting Bull, together with all other papers or facts! known to" them in connection with this matter.” BILL TO ESTABLISH A MARINE BOARD. ‘The House committee on the merchant marine -and fisheries has agreed to report favorably to the Honse, with slight amendment, the bill providing for the establishment of a United State marine board for the advancement of the interests of the merchant marine. This bill ‘embodies the recommendations of the late in- ternational marine conference with respect to these matters. POSTMASTERS CONFIRMED. ‘The Senate yesterday confirmed a large num- ber of nominations of postmasters, among them the following in this section: Maryland—R. E. Bouldin, Belair. Micbi- S ‘Wm. Howie, Flushing; E. J. March, Hells D. J. Lowrey, Howard City; H. J. Hop- kins, Chesaning. ‘TO REVIVE THE GRADE OF LIRUTENANT GENERAL. Representative Wheeler, from the com- wittee on military affairs, yesterday reported to the House a substitute for the Senate bill to revive the grade of lieutenant general in the army. It authorizes the President to appoint tenant general. who is to be selected from among those officers of the army who have {istinguished themselves for courage and ——- ena aoe ‘Than » Man. “It costs more to kill a horse than it does a man in the state of Mississippi,” remarked a Chicagoan toa Stam reporter this afternoon. “One of our newspaper men—a representative of the Triune—went down to Carrollton to investigate the killing of Postmaster Matthews by Druggiat McBride.

By virtue of a writ of habeas corpus ex-State ‘Treasurer Stevenson Archer was taken from Maryland penitentiary yesterday and into the court at Towson, where the state is proceeding against his bondsmen to recover as much ag may be possible from the bond for losses by his embezzlement. Archer, with Warden Weyler | % at bis side, took 8 seat on a bench immediately in the rear of the counsel for the state and facing the judges. Mostof the time he sat with his head resting on his left hand, his hat on his | back’ knee and with his eyes closed. At times he seemed to have fallen asleep. He changed his position rarely and kept his eyes closed most of the time. He opened his eyes at intervals to ying. Archer's object was apparently to shun the observation of the familiar faces by which he was surrounded. Thus he sat for over three hours, constantly chewing tobacco and listen ing to the trial. "No one approached him dur- ig this time. Within an hour of adjournment the state had decided not to call Archer until tomorrow. Warden Wevler suggested that Archer would not be hetight: be taken back to the penitentiary. Mr. Whyte in this and, af five minutes of 2 o'clock, eaid to the court: “I have asked the warden to be back with Archer at 10 o'clock’ Wednesday, as we cannot get through with him now.” Archer's thy left him. Mr. Carter of counsel for the bondsmen and, after « brief consultation with him, turned to Mr. Whyte and told him that he would not be sworn in the case and that there was no use in his returning. “Swear Stevenson Archer!” was Mr. Whyte’ reply to this, Archer advanced quickly to the witness plat- form, on which he placed one foot. He had commenced to speak when Mr. Whyte repeated, | ca “Swear Mr. Archer,” wishing that any state- ment made should be under oath. Mr. Archer rejected the profferd ible, and said: “May it nor. with all deference to the Wort Lacdies iemsws satecian tee wer any questions in this case for reasons that are entirely self-sufficient to myself.” “insist on his bei “T dhink there fs no, Feason why you should decline to be sworn,” said Judge Fowler to cher.
