Clark Processes Satisfaction.

Speaker Clark also issued a statement In
which he asserted that the work of the
Democratic House has surprised our
friends and 6umfoundcd our enemies on
the President he lays responsibility for the
failure to enact tariff legislation and he re-
fers with regret to the fact that It was I'M
possible for the Democratic insurgent coal
ition I'm the House to override the vetoes.
The Speaker pretends to be well pleased
with the Democratic record. lie said in
part:
We redeemed every promise made In
order TO carry the elections in 1910. We
have economiZed; we passed the rect-
procity bill. the wool tariff bill, the free
list bill, the cotton bill with the Senate
amendments which included the iron and
steel schedule and the chemical schedule;
we submitted for ratification a consutu-
tional amendment providing Tor popular
election of Senators of the United states;
we uassed hill for the publication OF
CAMPAIGN expenses before the election; we
lberalized the rules, making the commit
tees elective by the House; We passed a
resolution to admit New Mexico and Ari-
IONA and we passed large number OF
other bills of more or less importance. II
is a record Of which we may well be proud
and on which we will sweep the country

up at the clock-it was FIVE minutes

After a little the silence was broken
by the whir of the clock and the first
sharp stroke of the hour; and at Just
that moment the door from the street
opened and a man entered. He was
rather tall and slender, and a sinister
black mask hid his face from the
quickly raised eyes OF the warden. For
