WASHINGTON CITY, Feb 22.-ISpecial. 1.-The
report submitted to the Senate from the CON-
mittee on public buildings and grounds by seu-
ator Squire in reference TO the Seattle public
building will be found interesting. The COM
mittee recommended the passage of this bill,
and In support OF il submitted the following:
From the statements submitted to the commit
tee they ind that the city of Seattle now has
population OF 10000. IL is situated centrally on
the east side oil Puget sound and commands the
trade OF great section OF country. II has 4
very great variety OF manufacturing interests
ana Is large shipping port for grain,
lumber and coal: 1t has great school
houses and university edifces which
have cost hundreds OF thousands OF dollars.
1t has eighteen banks and trust companies doing
banking business; three daily newspapers, the
leading ones OF the state, and seyenty-eight
miles OF stree. railway, comprising four lines of

The city of seattle is the seat of the United
States court and OF the United States land Office
which Is said to have done the larges. business
oil any land office i'll the United States during the

the United states located in the city,
for the United States custom-house and the in
speetlon OF hulls and the inspection OF boilers
tor the Northwest coast, including Alaska. All
these Offices are paying high rates of rent, and
II is believed that provisions should be made
for city of 100000 people. who will probably in

A Woman's Experience With a Cougar.

On Monday Mr.. Mattson, living out on Sec
tion 1. township'1j, range g. had business away
from the cabin and left his wife in charge The
place is only about four and half miles west of
the center OF town, yet little after noon an i'm
mense cougar approached within fifteen feet eff
the door OF the cabin and made a rush for the
chickens. The Mattsons own fine big dog
who at once made dive for Mr. Cougar and
compelled him to climb tree ior safety.
Mrs. Mattson sailed forth with her hus-
bands trusty ride aud fred seven shots
at the enemy, but, owing to the height of the
tree. failed to hit him. She had one more cart
ridge, but her Western training taught her to
save it III case OF emergencies. After the cessa-
ton OF Mrs. Msttson's fusillade the cougar
lightly leaped from the tree and made for the
woods, the brave dog in close pursuit. Reach
ing It's native jungle, the wild beast recovered
courage and turneion the dog. For an hour
and half they fought their bloody battle with
none to interfere. Mrs. Nelson, neighbor,
heard the sounds of war and hurried
10 the scene with another gun. Owing to an in
terven!ng log, which she feared to mount, she
was unable 20 take badly needed shot. for the
faithful dog was getting sadly the worst OF the
unequal fight. Meanwhile Amer Stevens and
Myrou Durga heard OF the trouble and with
pack OF hounds went to the rescue OF the canine
protector OF the Mattsou homestead. They found

by sails, passenger barges, lake and coast
wise freight barges being towed. The in
spector general, supervising inspectors
and local inspectors must all have su-
perior knowledge of ship building. navi-
cation and the use of steam. The local
inspectors are to have supervision of the
construction of vessels and see that they
are built according to the rules for
building vessels as set forth in the
Record of American and Foreign Ship
ping or some other association of equal
standing. The vessels, when completed,
and yearly thereafter, must pass inspec-
ton and be granted certificate or license
the same as steam vessels now receive.
All masters, mates and pilots must pass
rigid examinations and receive licenses
before being permitted to serve on vessels
in their several official capacities and
every man or boy going to sea with the
intention of becoming seaman must be
examined for visual power and color
blindness, and none allowed to serve
whose visual power is below one-half nor
NAL or who is red or green color blind.
Every master must have spent at least
five years ut sea, during which time he
must have spent one year as second mate
and one year as chief mate. The pro-
visions relating to the inspection of steam
vessels, the testing of boilers and the ex-
animation of officers are more definite
than they are in the old law and embody
the best features of large number of de-
cisions and regulations which have been
handed through the department.. These
decisions and regulations accumulated
until they have had the effect of making
it next to impossible for those unskilled
in the study of law to find out for them
selves just what was required.

NEW LAW FOR MARINERS.
Bill Requiring Sailing Vessels and Their
Of11cers to BE Certificated.

The local government inspectors of steam
vessels have received copy of a bill in
troduced in the United States Senate by
Senator Frye of Name amending title 81
of the revised statutes, relating to the in
spection of steam vessels, so as to extend
it's application to all sailing vessels of the
United States of fifty tons register or up
ward.
At present there is no law in the United
States providing for the inspection of
sailing vessels, the examination or licens-
ing of their officers, or anything pertain
ing thereto outside of the general COM
merclal laws. The only regulations of
this kind imposed on them have been es-
tablished by shipping associations such
as the Society Veritas, which was formed
for the classification of vessels. and the
underwriters associations, which exist for
the protection of the underwriters.
These regulations may or may not be OBJ
served by vessels. If the owners want the
vessels to be classed on the books of the
Society Veritas they must have them con-
structed according to certain rules; but if
they do not care to have them so classed
they may be built in any manner the
owner sees fit and be wholly unseaworthy
when finished. In vessels of this kind
human lives and property are jeopardized
Of course underwriters will not insure
vessels or their cargoes unless they come
up to a certain standard of quality in point
of construction, and the better the vessel
is built the lower rates of insurance she
can get; but these regulations are not arbi-
trary and there is no means of enforcing
them aside from the incentive to lower
rates of insurance. Neither are there any
regulations tor the examination of officers
of sailing vessels beyond that caution
which the interest of the owners and I'M
derwriters prompts them to exercise in the
selection of them.
Old mariners say that this is about the
only nation in the world making preten-
sions to vast commercial interests which
has not established laws on those SUBJ
jects, and every old sea captain on the
water front who has heard of the bill re-
ferred to expresses approval of its main
features.
The bill was drawn with the object of
carrying into effect certain recommends
tons of the United States delegates in
the international marine conference held
at Washington City some time ago. The
principal features are to extend the law
relating to the inspection of steam ves-
sells so as to include within its provisions
all United States vessels propelled wholly

at wider distribution Of land among the people

of rural residents to towns by offering such in

borrowed not to exceed q sum involving q
