SEATTLE, Wash, March 9.-Charles r.
Hammond, the man who knows more than
anybody else about the famous London scan
dals, is being cut off in his supply of blood
money, and he objects, He said today that
unless certain people prominent IN London
kept faith with hlm and cabled money 10 him
by Tuesday he would say something then
tn at would place them in a very bad light,
TIL words of Hammond are as follows
"T he time for deEIals from one side or the
other is past, and If Lord Euston and Hugh
Weglen knew what is to their interest
they would communicate Immediately by
cable to a person known to them and whose
residence is Seattle.
"Hugh Weglen is son of man who occu-
pies an exceptional position in the financial
world OF the British capital"
1t will be observed from these remarks
that Hammond wants money, and also that
whatever he may have said heretofore about
his not being the man who kept the nOtori-
GUS house on Cleveland street was untrue.
He has torn off his mask and now promises
TO reveal many other names of men high in
station who were customers at his house Of

WAITING FOR WATER.


The Reason why Insurance Rates are
Not Reduced.
Captain +. J. Burns, the we'll known in
surance underwater, was asked yesterday
by . PosT-INTELLIGKNcER reporter ii he
knew OF any immediate prospect of . re-
duction in insurance rates.
THE managers of the union which fixes
the rates have told me, As they have told
many others. replied Captain Burns, "that
when the water comes here through the
new mains from the new pumps at Lake
Washington. that there viii be o reduction
in rates. and that when the freboat Is built
and put into commison there will be an
other great reduction. These two reduc-
tons viii bring rates down as low - any
one could ask.
81 Ann continually asked why insurance
rates are not lowered by the commence
nlent Of work on the improved water
system and the freboat OF course We are
glad TO see this work commenced, but it
does Ne no good ut present The fact that
new pumps are being put in at the lake,
larger mains placed across the city. and the
keel OF . splendid freboat laid for
the water front does not furnish US
water for the protection of buildings which
we have insured. We have no more water
now than We had last June, when stream
could not be forced to the top OF Frye's
three-story and mansard building. Now
that We have FIVE, six and seven-s story
buildings the risk Is much greater because
the protection has not been correspond
ingiy increased. II takes water and lots of
il to put out fires and to bring down insur-
ance rates"

The Canvas Stores Awaiting Further

Yesterday was the day set by the city
council for the removal of oil tents inside
of the FIRE limits. 1t is needless to say
that the order was not generally obeyed.
A few tents. bringing the total number re
moved within the last few days up TO about
twenty. were taken down yesterday, but
IN almost every instance they were unoc-
cupied.
While the order OF the council has caused
considerable excitement, and has been
freely discussed among the business men
occupying tents. there is little fear that it
will be enforced Immediately.
A number OF applications for extensions
of time were filed with the city clerk yester-
day. They will be taken up by the coun-
Gil in committee of the whole this after
noon. 1t is almost certain that at this af-
ternoon's meeting the council will decide
upon its policy in the matter. Its action
will be waited for with interest," by the
tent occupants.
