Close of Oyster longing Season.

The oyster longing season on the Po-
tomac ended at 12 o'clock last night. and
under the fisheries law it is now unlawful
to take an oyster from the beds In the
river. Not only does the law apply to
the river, but oystering in any form Is
illegal on Chesapeake bay or any OF It's
tributaries from now until the middle OF
next September. when the tongers may
again go to work. The oyster season on
the Potomac and other tributaries of the
bay formerly ended May l and opened
September /. but two years ago the legs-
latures of Maryland and Virginia. in or
der to improve the oysters. made the
season close a half month earlier and
open a half month later in order to give
the beds additional rest. The law as a
general thing Is obeyed, and the good ef-
feet of it is seen in the increase in the
supply Of oysters on he beds.
The winding up of the oyster season
does not mean that no oysters will be on
sale, for there will, unless this season is
an exception, be an abundance of oysters
brought here from private owned beds to
meet the demand. Twelve vessels. prac-
tically all the oyster running fleet, have
arrived here since Tuesday with cargoes
OF oysters in the shell aboard. They load
ed at the last moment on the natural oys-
ter beds in the river and bay, and after
disposing Of the cargoes they have aboard
most of the vessels, will engage in other
work on the river until the opening OF
the oyster season in September next. The
bivalves this morning are selling at from
50 cents to 81 per bushel.

JONES AND BARRY STATUES.
Progress Made by Commission ID
| Consider Plans,

Substantial progress was made today by
the commissions having in charge the
erection in this city of statues of the two
revolutionary naval heroes. John Paul
Jones and Commodore John Barry, for
which purpose Congress appropriated the
sum of $780, each. The commission is
made up Of Secretaries Taft and Metcalf.
Senator Wetmore and Representative Nc
Call. In the case OF the Jones statue Il
committee was appointed to report on the
question of the selection of n site and 10
recommend a sculptor to prepare design.
In the case Of the Barry statue pro-
gram of competition for the selection of a
design was approved. and Il committee
was appointed to recommend site. 1t
Is the desire of the commission. IL prac-
ticable to obtain a location where both
monuments may be erected in the same
general vicinity.
A delegation from the United Irish So
cieties. including William F. Downey and
Mr. O'Donahue both OF Washington. was
present with the committee in an advisory
ca pa city in the consideration of the Barry
statue.
Among the sites suggested for the Barry
statue are Franklin Park and the circle
at the intersection of New Jersey and
Massachusetts avenues.

RETURN OF THE BIG FLEET.
Now Thought That the Ships Will
Come to HAMPTON Roads.

Because Of lack of time the government
has felt it necessary to decline an invita-
ton extended by Great Britain that the
Atlantic battleship fleet stop at Hongkong
on its trip around the world.
It was stated that when the fleet
reaches the Mediterranean it may be d.
vided among various ports in those wa
tiers and then reassemble at some central
place. probably Gibraltar. to prepare for
the homeward voyage. That would afford
an opportunity to give all the men shore
leave for a longer period than would be
the case were the vessels all to stop at
one port
AS the fleet steams across the Atlantic
from Gibraltar and approaches the Amer
lean shore it will, IL the expectations of
naval officers are carried out, be met by
the half dozen or more battleships on the
Atlantic coast and escorted into New
York harbor or Hampton roads for final
review by the President. 1t was originally
intended that the ships should steam into
New York harbor as they returned from
their long cruise in circumnavigating the
globe. but now naval officers seem to
think that this honor may fall to Hamp-
ton roads
