America Claims IT'S Own Once More.
At Washington the modelling room in
the supervising architects office was
struck by lightning Friday. The foreman
aud all OF the foreigners, principally
Frenghmen, employed there, who have
had monopoly OF that work, t. the ex-
clusion of American citizens, have been
running things to suit themselves for a
long time. French was the principal Ian,
guags used, aud when English was spoken
it was only to decry American institutions
and American artists. The EMPLOYEES
came aud went as they pleased, aud
worked models to their own fancy aud at
their leisure until the now supervising
architect Mr.. Bell, took charge He has
been watching the operations of the
crowd since then, and, finding but little
Improvement, in spite of fair warning
given them, he discharged all. The ap.
DOintment, some months ago, of Lot
Flannery, an American sculptor of recog.
nized merit, seems to have brought into
prominence all these unpleasant features,
as the French foreman from the stalt
made determined war upon Flauuery TO
drive him out by haraSslhy him aud criti
oIsing his work and nationality. O,her
reforms arc shortly TO be instituted.
