WASHINGTON CRY, March ESPECIAL. =
The Senate committee on commerce TODAY
gave another hearing to the Washington
delegation on the Lake Washington ship
canal. Today's argument was presented
by Senator Allen, and he made an ex-
haustive statement in favor of the appro-
priation asked for in the bill introduced
by Senator Squire, and very thoroughly
explained to the committee the
benefits that would arise from this
Improvement. Senator Allen held
the attention of the committee
for fully half hour, being asked very
many questions by Senator Dolph and
other members. The different members
OF the committee seemed to be impressed
by the statement by Senator Allen, and
after the hearing closed those interested
fully believed that the bill would be favor
ably reported at an early day. Today's
argument will probably close the hearin gs
on this question
Senator Squire today presented memo
rial of the legislature of the state of Wash
ington, asking for the speedy appropria-
ton OF such sum of money as may be
necessary to construct canal to connect
Lakes Union and Washington with Puget
sound. He also presented a petition of
the citizens of Seattle, praying for the
passage of a bill to transfer the revenue
m1rine service to the navy department..

trics OF Columbia bill. The unfinished sections
were finished without amendment, when the
committee arose, reported the bill TO the House
and it was passed.
ihe House resumed consideration OF the bill
allowing railroad companies to give special

The Need of Puget Sound pefen.es.

WASHINGTON CITY, March 3-lSpeciaL Tho
New York Herald today printed column and
quarter article from Seattle calling attention to
the need for coast defenses in that section of the
country. This article is introduced in this way:
I'm the event of war no point on the Pacific
coast, and in at least one respect none on our
whole coast line. is OF greater importance than
Puget sound, and none is more absolutely barren
OF defenses." In another paragraph this state
ment is made:
hostile force could take possession of this
magnificent section practically without oppos-
ton, and could soon afterward occupy Seattle,
Tacoma and Portland, and by seizng the passes
on railway lines completely cut Off connections
with the East and South. From this city
base operations could be easily extended and
the whole country west of the Rocky mountains
be overrun, and if the enemy had control OF the
ocean we could scarcely do anything toward
dispossessing them.
The Herald article is an admirable preselta-
ton OF the need of forts and other defenses for
this section of the country. Today it attracted
great deal of attention among the congress-
men from all sections of the untry. 1t viii
probably have great deal of effect in infiusnc-
ing the vote on the bill introduced by Senator
Dolph, providing an appropriation for the erec-
ton OF forts on the Pacific coast.

TACOMA, March 3. Especial. - The
hatchet with. which Conhila Sevedore's
brains were beaten out while he slept IN
his cabin, at the corner of South Nine
teenth and streets, was today identified
as one loaned by Lenero Levine to Saliva
tore Pincini or Paganini. paganini and
Giuseppe Moresci, who were arrested on
suspicion, are still in custody, and it is
known that the latter quarreled with the
murdered man recently, The dispute was
over money. and Moresci cursed Sevedore
roundly. At the autopsy this afternoon
three heart wounds and thirteen lung
wounds were found on the dead mans
body.
The coroner's jury tonight found that
Sevedore was murdered by unknown per-
sons. However, Coroner Frank is sure
Paganini is the murderer A vest worn by
him has been found, with the breast cut
away. 1t is believed this was done to dis
pose of bloody stains. His shirt, it is be-
lieyed, he burned. In barn near the
murd red mans house canvass belt
worn by Sevedore, clotted with blood,
was found. 1t contained $500 in gold, and
had been torn from Severdore's waist.
Paganini was seen about the barn. and
it is supposed he had the belt there, in
tending to get it at night.
As precautionary measure Paganini
was removed from the city TO the county
Jail this evening. On arriving there he
said he wanted to talk to the chief of
police. When the latter was pointed out
Paganini made an almost unintelligible
statement to the effect that if Conchilla
was dead, the latter's cousin, Moresci, did
it. He said the two had had trouble over
the breaking of wagon. He protested
his own innocence, saying he was put in
there for nothing. He said Conchilla and
himself were friendly. He was a sick
man, and Conchilla came every morning
to wake him and look after him. He talks
unintelligibly about a killing in Italy, in
which Moresci's and ConchilIa's names are

THE TIDE LAND CONTESTS.
A Big Job in Front of the Commission
Cases Will Be Arnealed. Ton.

Eases Will be Appeared, 700.
OLYMPIA, March 3-IspeciaL 1.-The tide land
commission commenced a session here today,
at which the first serious labor of the board will
be undertaken, and it is iIst beginning to appre-
ciate the magnitude of the work confronting it.
As yet only cases relating to Whatcom county
tide lands are before it, but these prove
that the board will be very busy one
from this time on. There are Isl appli-
cations to purchase from Whatcom county,
and as of these 100 in conflict the board will
have to appoint hearings and listen to evidence
in each OF the contest cases. some of which are
very complicated. These hearings will neces-
sarily take up much time, and before Whatcom
county can be disposed OF, Thurston, jefferson
and kitsap will be demanding the attention of
the board, and the reports of appraisers from
other counties will speedily follow, that it is
apparent that if the board attempts to keep up
with its work it will have to remain
almost continuously in session for months
The time consumed in hearing contests, how
ever, may be lost appeals from the decision
OF the board may be taken to the superior courts
for trial anew, and most of them will probably
be appealed. 1t is for this reason argued by the
parties interested that the legislature made q
mistake in comforting jurisdiction upon the
board 10 hear these cases, as it would have been
better, it is maintained TO have provided for
the trial of them in the courts in the first in
stance
The board has been requested by the city
councils of Whatcom and Fairhaven to hold the
sessions for the hearing of Whatcom county
contests on Bellingham bay. The request will
be complied with and the board will probably
go to Whatcom county next week.
Four bills for expenses incurred by the tide
lands appraisers OF skagit county in appraising
tide lands were disallowed today, the board
holding that it had no power TO allow them.
The secretary was instructed TO notify the ap-
praisers of kitsap county to proceed with their
work.
The board denied the motion OF Henry Hewitt,
jr., for hearing in the contest case of l. II.
Wheeler against the application OF Mr. Hewitt
to purchase Port Gardner tide lands The mo-
ton was denied because the harbor lines have
not yet been established in snohomish county.
A copy of petition for writ of mandamus
which will be presented to the supreme court
was then served on the board The mandamus
proceedings will call for decision by the su-
preme court of the question whether tide lands
may be appraised before the establishment OF
the harbor lines in the county in which such
luuds are situated.
