THE PUBLIC BUILDING.
Treasury Agent Rnstett Returned
to Washington.

Treasury Agent Anstett Returned
to Washington.
The Treasury Agent, who has been
here since last Friday examining the
sites offered for the new public building,
returned to Washington yesterday, and
will submit his report at once.
The Cotton Exchange, which has taken
b good deal OF interest in the matter of
locating the building, held meeting, at
which about forty mem bers were present,
at noon and discussed the various sites.
Of the four that have been offered, the ex-
rhange favored the selection OF the one at
Bull and South Broad streets, and adopted
resolutions TO this effect. A resolution
was subsequently adopted recommending
a further effort on the part of the govern
nlent to secure site nearer the business
reutre OF the city
The impression is strong that the agent
will recommend the purchase OF the north
west corner OF Bull and South Broad
streets. Ii is not stated what this prop
erty was offered tor, but il is repOrted that
$50 100 Is demanded for II.
There is not much reason to doubt that
TIE agent LEFT Win the idea that either the
GHIoa Society lot on Whitaker street, or
would he acceptable to the people, and
his Inclination, IL is believed, was towards
ine latter.
The price demanded, assuming that the
sum mentioned Is correct, is a little more
thautn amOunt appropriated at the last
session. The ttle TO Il. therefore, could
not be obtained before another apprOpria-
lion WAS made il il were accepted. That
would delay the beginning ottle building
EoBewhst.
There appears to be an impression that
n0 d thcuity viii be experienced in get
ring further appropriations. On this
point the agent said that the plans would
he drawn for a building that could be
built Tor the balance of the money alter
The purchase OF the lot. There would,
therefore. he no need Of further appropria-
lions, except. perhaps, some small
the building in accordance with the
plans.
The policy OF planning big buildings,
he said. with the expectation of getting
= additional appropriations to complete
Them, WAS abandoned when the present
administration came into power.
II any considerable further appropria-
aion is obtained, therefore, IL will have TO
be obtained before a spade full of earth Is
thrown up for the foundation, and even
before Il beginning at drawing the plans
is made.

A few minutes after O'Clock last night
An alarm OF ire was struck from box AZ
at the Ocean Steamship wharyes. 1t being
early in the night the alarm brought out
a large crowd Of people.
The fire was located on the steamship
Dessoug. of the Philadelphia line, lying in
rhe slip Mt the Ocean steamship wharves.
1t was discovered by Quartermaster
Frank Green, the Waterman on deck,
whose attention was attracted by the
smell OF smoke. He thought at first that
some of the cotton on the wharf was on
ire, but could see no blaze. He hurried
10 the forward hatch and, raising up one
corner, a volume Of black smoke
issued from the first hold
and enveIoped the deck. He shut down
tine hatch and sounded the alarm aboard
She ship.
Some Of the crew had not yet gone
ashore. and the pump was started. TWO
dimes OF hose were run forward and hole
was cut in between decks and the lower
mold. In the meantime an alarm was
burned in for the city fire department. In
The vessels hold was slowed part OF
cargo of cotton, lumber, rosin, spirits
and pig iron. There were about 200 bales
of cotton all told on board, and all OF it is
supposed to have been slowed in the
DOVER hold. The fire burned for some
time before its location could be ascer-
Eaned between decks and below, and IL
had made such Roadway that it was de-
lcided to ill the forward compartment
with water. The fire was got under con-
frol at bout 1 O'Clock this morning. On the
opposite side OF the slip from the DessouG
fhe British steamship Border Chieftain
was moored, with several lighter loads OF
cotton alongside. These were towed out
of the slip by the tug Maud. The tug lay
alongside of the Dessoug to assist in any
emergency.
The origin of the fire could not be as
Certained. When the stevedOres quit
work at o'clock The matches were
closed and were covered with tarpaulins.
FThe DessOug was to have finished load
ling to-day and would have sailed at noon.
IThe extent OF the damage is as yet un-
known, but it is thought that the great
est damage will be from water. The YES
sci will have to be entirely discharged
before the full damage can be learned.

The Jacksonville Morning News says it
now loo ks as if the Silver Springs, Ocala
and Gulf railroad, which, according TO its
original survey, would miss the flourish
ing town OF Brooksville about six miles,
is to be taken there. Inc citizens OF
Brooksville held meeting recently and
listened to the following proposition from
the builders of the road, who stated that
they were now in condition to proceed
at once with the work and extend the
road to its terminal point on the Gulf: If
the people of BrOoksville and vicinity
will give the road the sum of $25, 900 or its
equivalent in land to be valued at tue sum
OF So per acre, the land to be located
within five miles of the changed line OF
road; that the road would be completed
to the town of BrOoksville within eight
months from the finishing OF a prelimi-
nary line Of survey, and To nnish 20 its old
line of survey south within one year, all
donations to be made upon that basis.
And as an alternative proposition nat the
road would be built as above stated, ana
the time above set forth, for the sum of
$4,000 and 600 acres of land.
