Mo More Fake Speeches.-Repr,

No More Fake Speeehes.-Represen-
tative Clark of Florida, during debate
yesterday, served notice on his col
leagues that there would be no more
extension of remarks" or leave to
print" undelvered speeches in the
Congressional Record, popular out
let when debate is limited, during the
Sixty second congress.
In the following ten minutes the
house gave its undivided attention to
what are designated as fake
speeches" Representative Sherley,
of Kentucky. insisted that they ought
to be printed, but should be plainly la
beled as not having been delivered in
the house. Representative Lafferty, q
new member of Oregon, said he wanted
to make speech, but did not want to
contribute fake speech" to the record.
1t Is expected that a rule soon will
be devised to govern this wholesale
printing of speeches in the official dai-
ly publication of the house. The SEN
ate allows no speeches to be published
that have not been delivered.

The man at the desk glanced curiously
at Thornton. Two girls at typewriters
exchanged whispered opinions as to who
might be this Withholding creature from
the north who was taking up an hour OF

hours passed before Jan appeared. Thorn

His eyes first encountered the staring race
Of the subcommissioner. Then Jan came
out. He had aged FIVE years, in two

shoulders, a strange pallor in his cheeks
To Thornton his thin face seemed to have

Dayis-lying at a wharf. but with all
sails set. To those who are interested IN
boats-and who Is not?-this last will be
found to have special charm, for while
the effect as whole has been carefully
held. every detail Of the complicated rig
sing has been infinitely and accurately
transcribed. This type of warship Is a
thing Of the past, and already it seems to
belong to some far-off land or remote
period. From the standpoint Of beauty.
or grace, the ironclad Of today cannot
rival it.
One other of the miscellaneous subs
jects deserves special mention-a view OF
early spring in Washington in which the
Washington Monument Is prominent
feature. Presumably this was painted
from 18th street looking across the White
Lot, though from other vantage points
much the same view might be obtained.
The foliage, the grass and the sky are
delicately treated. and In the midst OF
these the great white shaft perfectly
takes its place. Many have attempted
,S paint pictures of n. the wss ASH
ceeded in harmonizing it with its environ
ment while retaining its dignity and SIM
plicity. Each Of the Conanicut pictures
has its charm. but those of the cliffs are
perhaps the most noteworthy. The rock
formation is rendered with amazing ac-
curacy and yet with breadth and effect
How difficult this Is to do, only those who
have made the trial know. And besides
the veracity of these interpretations so
far as structure goes. something may be
said in favor of their coloring, the har-
monious scheme of which in more than
one instance is peculiarly felicitous. Had

and individual. The pedestals are all pet

horses with two or three exceptions, are
not as good as they should be. the fig
ures are about on a par. There is one
model well ahead Of all the others in
modelling. characterization and architec-
tural design; there are two which are
close seconds: The result OF she co nIth
much interest The fact that revoiu-
tionary hero is being memorialized by the
nation and that this monument Is to be
set up in the south give this competition
more than usual Importance.
A FTER what at one time seemed to
"a be endless controversy, the con-
tract for the monument to Com
modore Barry has finally been given
to John J. Boyle of New York, who
when the competition was declared on
was invited by the Barry monument
commission to submit a model. Mr.
Boyle has submitted no less than three
models and has persisted in the work
with courage born OF conviction
therefore his success was scarcely
matter of surprise. The accepted model
is in many respects very commendable,
though it is by no means out OF the
ordinary. On a perfectly plain pedestal
Commodore Barry is represented stand
ing with his right hand. in which he
holds his gloves, resting upon the hilt
Of his unsheathed sword. and his LETT,
partially under his cloak. on his hip.
His weight rests on his left foot, which
is slightly in advance of the right,
and his head is turned sharply toward
his right shoulder. He wears the con-
tinental uniform, on his head a cooked
hat and falling from his shoulders in
heavy folds a long military cape. In
the model the epaulets on the coat UNI
der the cloak give 1t rather an angular
and ungainly appearance. but this will
probably be obviated in modelling the
full size statue.
The interest and charm of the model
is to be found not in the figure OF
Commodore Barry, but in a subsidiary
figure placed against the face OF the
pedestal figure of a woman on a
Prov of boat. typifying the spirit Of
ireland coming to America. In her
right hand she bears a branch be-
tokening victory and peace. but her
left arm is thrown back over a sword.
Again there is much drapery falling in
