Valencia Wreck Will Bring About
Good Results.
ANOTHER BOAT FOR THE PUGET SOUND
CONGRESSMAN cUsHMAN WILL
MAKE FIGHT FOR ADDITION
AL SOUND SERVICE.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The
congress from the Pacific coast,
coupled with the dreadful lesson
taught by the Valencia disaster will
bring about the authorization of at
least one first-class revenue cutter for
use about Puget Sound during the
present session of congress, and will,
in time bring about the building of
an adequate fleet. Just at present the
republican leaders are shouting econ
omy'' so loudly that they cannot hear
the needs of the country spoken in an
ordinary tone of voice, and the coast
may deem itself lucky to get at least
one new ship to guard the dangerous
rocks of Washington.
Cushman Is Busy.
In a report just made by Congress
man Cushman of Washington from
the committee On interstate and for
eign commerce, which has charge of
the bill authorizing the revenue cut
ter, he says: This vessel is needed
to replace the revenue cutter Grant,
now performing service in that dis
trlct vessel that is not now suitable
on account of age and the effects of
continuous service to properly per-
form duties devolving upon a vessel
stationed in those waters The nu-
merous gales prevailing in this vicini-
ty and the large amount CT shipping
constantly passing along the coast to
and from the important ports situated
on Puget Sound render it. necessary
that a first-class efficient vessel
should be available to render imme-
date assistance when required.
There are about 100 documented YES
sells of the United States in the dis
trict of Puget Sound, a large number
being steamers, and these require
constant supervision and inspection
in the enforcement of the navigation
and customs laws The vessel pro-
posed will be strong factor contrib
utnig to the enforcement of these
laws"

ture last night at Mathewson Street

ferred as Tony was youngster he had
caught in the act OF throwing mud at the

church.

that came over that boys face" said the
speaker, "as instead OF speaking harshly
TO him I simply laid my hand on his
shoulder. IL was an expression which az
once made IL clear that his experience
with the world had been that every mans
hand was against him.
That was the last time ] ever saw
Tony. but I have encountered his type
throughout the length and breadth of the
country. That experience with that boy
was what aroused In one an interest and
led me TO look more closely into how
