Movement to Lower High In
surance in Seattle.
a PETITION BY UNDERWRITERS.
Residences Portion Particularly Con-
cerned--A fire Patrol TO BE Main
tained Ia the City.

The Seattle hoard Of underwriters has
decided to petition the Pacific Insurance
Union To allow agents in Seattle to go back
10 the old RATES OF fire insurance in the
residence portion OF the city Under the
old ruling it took ten feet TO break the
range. but at present il takes twenty-five
feet, which greatly increases the rate Of
insurance on many residences in the city.
Mr.. Frank Hauford, secretary of the
seattle board OF insurance underwriters.
in conversation with general agent of the
Pacific Insurance MON. recently was
given to understand that when Seattle be-
came settled down again the Insurance
companies would furnish a fire patrol
WAGON, supplied with rubber blankets,
etc. To prevent water damage TO goods,
provided the city wouid agree TO keep the
patrol in order and operate it. The adsei-
ton OF the wagon to the department would
serve 10 lessen insurance rates, and it
would be great help 81 fire in prevent
ing damage =" water.

THE Oates bill, amending the natu
ralization laws, which was reported
to congress yesterday from the sub
committee on Judiciary is vast i'm
provement over the present system.
No declarations of intentions are re-
quired, but candidate for citizenship
must have resided in the United
States five years, and when he claims
citizenship papers must notify the
court before which he is to appear of
his intentions; the court will be rep
resented by an officer to conduct its
case and the applicant must prove
residence. good character and title to
rights of citizenship. If this bill be-
come law and then good registration
laws are enforced, there will
be a heavy falling off in the
vote of foreigners, who claim citizen
ship on q years residence and declara-
ton of intentions.

City:
In the coming years the Empire
state of the south will far outstrip the
Empire state of the north. Its broad
acres, its rich soil, its genial climate
will place it foremost among all the
states Of the Union.
San Antonio is the most widely
noted city in the state. 1t has from
$4,000 to $4,000 population. 1t lies well
perhaps the most famous city on the
continent. To the lOOker-On it is al
most wholly un-American, the first
glimpse of foreign life, manners and
architecture. Within the last few
years the pulses of business activity
have been stirred and San Antonio is
now dual city. MeXicans still eat
in the plaza, cord wood is still bartered
in the streets, the low square houses
of century ago are still occupied by
unambitious jewellers, but also keen,
brilliant, matchless business men are
leaders in public enterprises and pub
lie sen timent, business houses ofmag-
nificent proportions are going up and
attractive modern dwellings are being
erected. Street cars thread the city
and railroads bring tribute from the
country. 1t is the leading wool and
, lumber market of the southwest and is
Z fast becoming modern, wealthy and at
tractiveS Points of interest are the
Fair, Club roomst'the Menger hotel,
the Government post, San Pedro
Springs, the Alamo, the Missions and
the elearpbeautiful river that threads
its way here, there and almost every
where through the city, crossed at all
streets with bridges and fringed with
semi tropical plants and trees. The
National Editorial association while
in San Antonio mum bered, with the
ladies Of the party, fully 200. and dur
ing their stay Of four or five days weFf
entertained free by the citizens aid
escorted in carriages to all places Of
interest. All were delighted with
their entertainment, and we can only
express the hope that the city was
pleased with its guests.
