ItEPl'ItLIC SI'ECIAK Springfleld, 111., March 13.-Sp?aker Sher man to-night decided on the special com mittee to investigate the Chester Peniten tiary, it will bo announced In the morn it.g. and consists of Mliltr of McKeansboro. chairman. Johnson of Rock Island and Christian (Republicans) and Riess and Brown of La Salle (Democrats). The committee will begin operations next week. Colonel Thomas W. Scott of Fair field, one of the Tanner board, is out of the State. He loft for Palm Beach, Fla.. this week with his family and expects to continue his journey to Cuba, His presence will probably be ntcessaiy. Captain Beard of Ncnla. Clay County, tvill be one of the most Important witnesses. Ed Rynn of Lawreneeville. iho was an oMlcer in the prison for a time under Warden Tanner, nnd who resigned, it Is said, because lie wouldn't countenance some of the trans-, actions of the management, may also be' called upon. .ludge Humphrey ot the United States District Court has dellnitely decided on Rep resentative Robert C. Brown of Sparta as clerk of his court. Mr. Bnvnn will enter upon his duties in June or Julv. ( Hd S. Robinson of Springlleld, formerly of Fairfield, will to-morrow bo appointed rcf- cree In bankruptcy by Judge Humphrey, in piaco of William K. Shutt. Cyrus Kendall of Newton was here to-day looking after his fences as candidate lor Commissioner of the Chester Prison. Ho believes he will b? appointed. But JlcClure of Carlinviile is still on top. The scene shifts back to Sparta, and ilcGuire for the third member. As a inntter of fact, the Gov ernor has a lot of promises out. and he won't know himself 'who will be appointed until the last half hour. John D. Gerlach has been hovering around Springlleld most of the week. But there doesn't appear to bo much show for him. IviduuiiIiiR Hill Reported. In the House this morning .Mr. Crafts, from the Judiciary Committee, in the ab sence of Chairman Allen, reported the com mittee bill agreed upon yesterday lor the punishment of kidnaping. It was read a lirst time. Speaker Sherman announced the appoint ment of a list of standing committees. He itated that additional committees would bo announced in the Houe to-morrow. Hr. Partridgo introduced a bill to amend the election law by providing for the pun ishment of the taking of otlicial ballots from printing offices except by persons au thorized by law to receive the same. Am" person who causes the distribution of spu rious or counterfeit ballots shall be subject to the same penalty as Is provided for lh persons actually making such distribution. Also a bill to provide for the punishment of any person who offers a bribe or who solicits money or liquor at an election. air. JlcClenathan offered a bill that all discharged employes shall receive payment of wages due to the date of their discharge in lawful money of the United States. If time checks, due bills, orders or other evi dences shall Le given In lieu of cash, tho employe shall be entitled to receivo wages until such time check, duo bill or order Is paid. Tiie bill is intended to reacli railroad corporations who pay discharged employes Willi time checks. Committee Appointed. Tho list of House committees announced by Speaker Sherman contains a number of changes in tile list given out last night. These were principally in the Democratic membership of the committees: Tho omy important change among the Republican members was the substitution of -Mr. Jones of Sangamon for ilr. Connor on the Commit tee on Banks and Banking. Jlr. Jones's name did not appear on any committ-.'o made public last night, and the inference is that r.e is expected eventually to be in line for the apportionment tills. It is un derstood that Mr. Connor will bo provided for on another committee. Following Is the list as announced t.y Speaker Sherman this morning: Rallrozds Itush, chairman; Pool. MMdlekaun.

NOVEL TRADE GROWS BETTER. London Is Deeply Interested in the Forthcoming Volumes of Charles Harriott and Charles Hannan. SPECIAL, BY CABLE. London,' Friday, March 13. (Copyright, 1901. by tho New York Herald Company.) Booksellers say that the trade, in novels, at all events. Is Kettlns brisker, but the output of the past week does not show any great vitality. The issue. In fact, seems to have been rather small nnd few even of the tales published are of much merit. Peo ple, however, are Bcttinc; something to talk about and have been set wondering 'nho is Charles Harriott. The question Is being often asked. He is, comparatively speak ing;, a new writer, and has written one or two" short stories which have been favor ably received. The first edition of his "The Column" Is beintr printed and will be out in about a forenlght's time. Another new novel which Is sure to be looked forward to Is one by Mr. Charles Hannan, whoso adaptation of "The Cigar ette Maker's Romance" at the Court Thea ter, provided Mr. Martin Harvey with a genuine popular success. Ho is now very busily engaged on a new noved, which will bear the title of "Castle Ariel." Though I am unable at present to give any names, it is stated that more than one English publisher is seriously thinking of Invading America and starting business in the United States. It Is true that some years ago the amount of business done by "English publishers in America was com paratively small, but of late the sale of books has been so gigantic that more than one English publisher during tho last twelve months has made more out of his American business than out of business this side of the Atlantic. The American colony in London has be come so large and Important that it has been found necssary to prcpire a directory of Americans In London. This has been a long-felt want, nnd will be gladly wel comed when published, as It will be ery soon. Ono of the most striking collections of books which have come under the hammer for many years past .will be sold here on the 22d of next month and tho seven fol lowing days. It Is the extensive and very valuable library of the late Sir William August Eraser, Bart., nnd will take piaco at Sothebv'3 rooms. Tho interest of the collection is exceedingly varied from the fact that a few of its most desirable arti cles have been bequeathed to public and private Institutions. Perhaps the gem cf the whole library, from tho purely literary point of view, is a copy of liray's uaes. me nnesi eauion printed at Strawberry Hill In 1737, with numerous Important MS. notes by the au thor on the margins nnd with an auto graph letter of the author and the auto graph MS. of tho Bong written for Mis3 Speed as Thyrsis. GOSSIP ABOUT BOOKS AND BOOKISH PEOPLE. It seems thnt the lato Maurice Thomp son left a novel nearly completed, which will b" given to a friend of the dead author to finish off from notes written by Mr. Thompson durinc his last days. When ready for publication it will make Its ap pearance through the Bowen-Merrlll Com pany, the publishers of "Alice of Old Vin cennes." It is said to deal with social con ditions In Indiana. From the point of view of the personality of the author, what should bo one of tho more important books of the spring in tho department of memoirs is "A Sailor's Log." by Admiral Robley D. Evans, which D. Appleton & Co. have In preparation. In tills wo are to have the recollections of forty years of United States naval life. Several paces will be devoted to the author's per sona' recollections of the German Kaiser, whom Evanp entertained on board his ship at the opening of the Kiel Canal. And so If the Admiral can write on a long tack as weli as he chnts on a short one, we are sure to have a book that will be of Intense Interest to most Americans. I saw the other day that a critic who la worth while is ot tho opinion that "Kim." which is now running In McCIure's, is so far the best thing that Mr. Kipling has done. T am naturally pleased at this confirmation of mv own opinion, says W. L. Alden in tho New York Times. Certainly no one but Mr. Kinllng could have written it. and this time no fault can bo found with him on the score that his canvas Is not large enough. Mr Kipling Is still at the Cape with his family, and report says that ho Is now in robust health. The April Harper's will have three con spicuous short stories: "The Point at Is iue" a love story of Brittany, by W. F. Payson. with pictures in tints by Lucira Hitchcock: "Druce-Fearing," by Marie Van Vorst: "Medicine Grizzly Bear," by George Bird 6rinnell: "There Shall Be No Misun derstanding." by Hlldcgnrde Hawthkorne. and "A Friend of His Youth," by Gelett Burgess. Among the artists represented are Smedley, Demlng, Albert Sterner and W L Jacobs. There will also be an arti cle" on" the "Serpent Worshippers of India." by W. H. Tribe. "The Helmet of Navarre." by Bertha Runkle. with the original illustrations by Castaigne, will bo Issued simultaneously in America. England and Canada on May 1. The publishers, the. Century Company, say that no serial that has ever appeared in the Century Magazine has attracted so much attention. Speaking of poems on the death of the i ZINE H CLEVERNESS H H A POPULAR TRAIN. j X" 'S J CI 308 North Broadway. Queen, W. L. Alden, writing from London, bays: "U'o have not yet heard from either Mr. Swinburne or Mr. Klpllnir. Mr. Austin need not have made such terrific haste to pub lish his fiincr.il verse before Mr. Kipl lis could forestall him. Pouts like Swinburnj and Kipling cannot write funeral odes and rush them into the papers within tnrcnty flvo minutes after the death of a Queen. I plncrrelv hope that neither of the tto will write ot the Queen's death. The minor roeU have exploited it to such an extent that Swinburne and Kipling can well afford to pass it by unnoticed." The story of the life of Empress Elizabeth of Austria, as depicted in the pages of "Tho Martyrdom of an Empress," published tighteen months ago by Harper . Bros., left the impression in most minds that it was written by a person entirely familiar with court life In Vienna. It was almost felt that the author lictsclt was a person Klio had had a very interesting career, which would prove to 1-e most fascinating reading if ever she consented to take the public into her confidence. The anonymou author has now a book in press at Harper & Hro-. It is entitled, "The Tribulations of n Princess." and. although presented under gulso of fiction, is really autobiographic. Mr. IT. G. Wells, who Is principally iden tified with those fantastic works of fiction which deal with the world of the future, has iom'thtng serious to sav in his new volume. "Anticipations'." on the theme which has been so attractive to him in novel writing. "Anticipations," which will probably b2 brought out here by the Frederick A. Stokes Company, is a series of speculations of the world's development in coming years, basM upon the scientific .progrc-s of the past, something In the form of an algebraic equa tion. A story of thrilling adventure, dtiPl', in trigue and love Is that bv Arthur W. Marchmont, "In the Name of a Woman." published by the F. A. Stokes Company. Tho book is ono of tho successes of the day. ever C0,(10 copies having- been sold in the pa.st two months. The scene of the story lies In nulgarla. nnd the perennial trouble over politics in the Balkan States- furnishes the motive of the adventures of the char acters, one of whom Is an Englishman. The J. B. LIppincott Company of Phila delphia has just reissued in attractive form Maurice Thompson's story, "Sweitheart Nanette." Tim death of the gifted author of "Alice of Old VIncpnnes" has made nil of his work doubly interesting, anjl "Sweet heart Nanette" i a charming story John Fox. Jr., has made a study of "Tho Southern Mountaineer" iever sinco ho left college, and he has spent a part of each year among them. He will contribute to tho April and May numbers of Scribncr's nn interesting sketch of these ptrange peo ple which will bo a contribution to his tory nnd sociology. The mountrineer in fiction has become a familiar character, but tho mountaineer as a real f.ictfir in the politics of Tennessee and Kentucky Is little known. These art'cles will be illus trated from the collection of photordnh-i which has been made in the prat fl'tecn years by R. C. Ballard-Tliruston of Louis ville, Ky. Tho Ess Es Publishing Company will soon publish in book form "The Love Let ters of a Liar," by Mrs. William Allen. They were first printed In tho Smart Set last September, and owing to their stle nnd fascinating "humanness," at onco at tracted much attention. The social promi nence of Mrs. Allen in New York and in the South and the chnre vehemently de nied by the author that they were letters written to her by one of her admirers have made them a subject of conversation in fashionable drawing-rooms. A new field in American historical fiction is presented In "The Curious Career of Roderick Campbell," bv Je.in N Mcll wraitli, a Canadian writer who?o "History of Canada" has been the preparatory work for her forthcoming volume, which will be issued by Messrs. Houghton, Miffiin & Co. early in March. It is a storv ot the upris ing for the Pretender in Scotland and of the struggle between tho Frenrh and English In New Yorl: and Canada for the iiossfss on of the Ohio Valley. A Iovo story of chivai ric quality Is inwoven in nn interesting narrative and serves as a background for home attractive historical portraiture- ...J....V.....I, i,iiui,ttiiiviiii!, at. i-icrre, with a glimpse of George Washington. Coming at a time when there Is criticism pines. "Harrier's History of the War in the Philippine.'," a nonpartisan story of events Is of more than ordlrarv interest "' Bearing in mind the large share of tho burden which our volunteer troops have borne In the actions of the campaign, the publishers have endeavored to make tho book absolutely complete In every det"l! and have Included In It rosters of volunteer regiments 'officers and men) that havo served In its battles. a" The volume contains the accounts of every action, written by such trained war enrre sponnents as Frank Millet. William Din widdle and John F. Bass, and embodies m each rase tho commanding nfilcer's account of such action. In this way Admiral Dewev Gcneral Merritt. General Greene.

Not long i'go Mr Pcnke received the following lnt'tor which seems to throw some light on tho location of the scene: "Tn the first sentence of the opn!ng chanter of vour book, you spo.ik of th-?

While It Is perhaps Idle to spec ulate on the forces which are at work be hind tho popularity of a writer of Jlr. Hewlett's power, it has been interesting to watch tho widening of tho circle of his readers. Beginning with a few of the most famous literary men In the country, the appreciation of Jlr. Hewlett's work Is crowing at a pace that even his friends hardly expected. In "Richard lea and Nay" a new and strong; note in fiction has been struct A New York critic has this to say about Howlett's work: ... , .. . Apropos of the exclusion by the ladies and gentlemen on tho Committee of Selec tion in the Boston Public IJbrary. of ,.Iau rice Hewlett's charming "Little Novels of Italy," tho following lines on his work are not without point. They are from tho "New York Times Saturday Ilevlew." They are addressed presumably to other novelists of tho day by John Ernest JlcCann: Ye writo ivith reus: this New Man with a sword; Yo writo with ink, and he with blood and Te from' tho bead, and he from his bead and He fronts his work Ilk Richard, his great Lord, Or lil-o a cod who rules starred hemisphere. And not like breedy traders In a mart! The Tloston "brarj-Jtommtteo must bo very sopnlsucaieu iu sun uiuliuu m paces of a writer like Hewlett. In some New England minds, however, ctnulsito pleasure is akin to wickedness. Killing's poetry, whicW is reproduced in America in the March Critic. h one of sympathy, if not of enthuslasm-that does not matter, for Mr. Dow-den Is rarely en thusiastic except when writing about Shel ley But he does something to explain the vocue of Kipling's vers-c, nnd does it in an entertaining way. Ills verses, he says, "have served to evoke or guide tho feelings of 'nations, and to determine action In great affairs he has touched the solemn organ stops; and It is precisely to such n Doem as 'Recessional.' with its old prophetic strain, its warning against vain idols and folly and carnal pride, that the deepest re sDoiise of our race It made." llr. Dowden may have discovered the formula upon which Kipling's fame may rest, but he does not explain the poet's popularity In London music halls in the heat of discour aging news from South Afrlca.
