WASHINGTON, Oct. "A delegation from
Pittsburg called on the Secretary of the
Treasury, this morning, to urge that the pub
lie building now constructing in that city be
completed in accordance with the provis-
ions for the extension embodied in the orig
inal plan. They ask that work be suspended
on the building till they have an opportunity
to urge upon Congress the advisability of
providing an increased appropriation, so that
to the plan on which the building is now
being constructed it would cost about $780,
900. An additional $780, 900 would be needed
to make the extension regarded as neces-
sary. The supervising architect says it is
probable the work will not be carried on
after the completion of the first story until
Congress takes some action on the request
for extension.

full account of the expedition and the trou-
BILE with the crew of the Proteus in an inter
view tonight. "The crew OF the
Proteus," he says, ''were a set of
pirates, and when the Proteus
was wrecked refused to help us
save the provisions or clothing, but stole
what we had. We had on board the Proteus
fifteen months provisions for forty men,
and only saved three months provisions for
twelve men. If we had remained on Little
ton island all winter we would have been
just SO many more men in distress. The
crew of the Proteus numbered twenty-three
men, and we were eight. They saved three
guns, and we had none. If we had run short
of provisions during the winter, not one of
the eight would have seen spring. Captain
Pike could not control his men, and told
Darlington they were set of dogs; they got
ing. There was no misunderstanding be-
tween Pike and Darlington"
