Tonight the Swedish Ladies' 0ctette from,
Stockholm will make their first appear
ance in this city at the Seattle opera-house.
and Judging from the already large advance
sale of seats the house will be packed. In
speaking of this company the ST. Paul
Netrs says:
The Swedish Ladies Concert Company which
charmed ell who we're fortunate enough 10 hear
them az their concert some two weeks since at
the Peoples church. has returned TO ST Paul.
and viii give q coucert tonight at the New
market theater. II is a pleasure To praise these
ladies, 50 eharmingly do they sing In their
national songs there Is the suggestion of the
ford. the glacier, the mighty mountains and the
quiet, green valleys of their native land As
they sing, one may catch in the refrain the ex-
preston OF that never dying love 10 their beau
uful country, which every Swede bears with
him 10 his death The effect Is enhanced By the.
national costumes worn by the singers The,
voices are clear, pure, and without musical con
ceits OF any kind. They are cultivated a. we'll
and sing not only the sweet old national bal
lads, but difficult passages from grand operas
Wherever the company has appeared il has left

Tokens of festive holiday times are seen
on all sides. Evergreens deck stores. impos-
ing entrances. sidewalks, churches. homes
everywhere. The anticipation of hanpy
reunions, joyous gatherings and good
things in store lights up the faces OF young
and old. Christmas tide is once more
upon Us, and the merry Jingle OF happy
bells has made the scene complete.
Perhaps nothing viii contribute more 10
the pleasure OF holiday enjoyments than
the magnificent attraction presented this
week at Cordray's new theater. Michael
Strogoh i an interesting drama. and il Is
well presented by q company already fay-
oFahly known in Seattle. The play Is
aTtistlcaliy mounted, the scenery exceiling
in merit anything previously shown in
the city. There are thrilling camp scenes
and battle-ground sketches, elilnu~es of
snow capped mountains IN far-off Siberia,
and views IF river scenery among the Jral
mountains. There are costumes ranging
from the gorgeous uniform of the ear cf
al the RusSisS down TO the picruresaue
garniture of Tartar ruffians. The ca sensble
of the drama, as shown in Cordrgy's J.
pleasing and Is sure ia meet with that
acknowledgement which Seattle people are
always willing 20 make when ANYTHING
meritorious desires support and recogni-
ton.

ladies could attend GA Christmas day who
could not conveniently spare the time on

THE INSURANCE REDUCTION.
What the Eject VIII Be-Hint to Tax
Collectors.


Il is expected that the reduction in fire
insurance rates. of which the announce
ment was published yesterday, will take
effect on January 1. Written notice of II
viii probably be received by mail in four
or FIVE days. Speaking Of the effect of this
reduction. d. \. Spencer, president of the
board of underwriters, said TO d PosT-1N-
TELLIGExcER reporter yesterday: This re
duction will make a difference Of $75,0 600 tC
$1,000 in the annual premiums paid in
Seattle under existing policies. if, as
] expect, il amounts to 20 per cent. On
the other hand many of the insured will be
induced 10 increase their insurance, and
many will insure who have not done 50
Yet because of the high rates. The dwell
ing house rates are the most oppressive,
although most attention has been paid 10
business property. Dwellings could be in
sured for one-taird of the rates now
charged. | therefore hope that the reduc-
ton will come down to No. 8 book.
There is no regular date for the expira-
ton of policies. for the insured arrange
their Insurance SO that one premium falls
due at one time and another at another
time, and thus they escape a heavy drain
on their funds. That reminds me of an
other point Taxes should be paid semi
annually. 1t hurts most men and Is .
great drain on them when they have 90
pay all at once. The agricultural com
munity can pay best II the end of the year
but other branches Of business are incon-
yenienCed by il.

il again swings to the left and cuts seven
feet off the rear of the Commercials Mill
Company's building. fronting on West
street, from Marion TO Madison. The next
block Is owned BIZ the Lake Shore. and Is
occupied by no buildings. but the ram :
horn trasses ii by. running up West street
and still yeering 10 the left. until At Spring
street il i opposite the line of warehouses.
between Railroad avenue and West street.
II cuts right through these as far Is Uni
Yersity veering 10 the west SO that the
slice taken of the building grows thicker
as il passes northward. The properties
over which il passes on these two blocks
are: Amos Brown. one lot, warehouse occsl-
pied by Vail K HubbelI; Puget Mill Com
panv, one lot. warehouse occupied by Car
keek IL Nicholas; the Starr estate. one lot.
warehouse occupied by ;. Baxter K Co. :;
W c. Squire one lot. warehouse occupied
by the Badere Milling Company; Marshall
Hopkins. one lot, building occupied By the
salt water baths; +. c. kiibourne, one lot,
warehouse occupied by Alexander Matt
land Il Co. David Gilmore. two lots, SIX
warehouses leased to H. w Baker & Co.
The piece cut of Bakers warehouse A,
which Is the nearest to University street,
would be fifty feet long.
After crossing University street the
track Teappears and passes under the Ter
line saloon, winds along the alley among

ing Il Cooling Company. At this point
the right-of-way becomes an imaginary
line again. crosses the wharf and passes in
front of the cold storage building. Ii runs
back 10 the alley and remains on ii until
Stewart street is reached. Then il crosses
vacant lots and runs up Water, ending at
Clay street
The reconstruction OF the railroad on
this winding right-of-way would cut
them being solidly built up, and would
also occupy parts of the alley behind West
street. West street itself and Water street
10 the exclusion of other traffic. an at
tempt was made 10 obtain from the prop
erty-owners an estimate of the damage 10
their property which Yould result from
the construction of the railroad on this
line. but the case was stated Ia sentence
by Lawrence J. Colman. who said: The
damage is not 80 much 10 the buildings as
TO our business in having ears on the alley
and preventing us from doing business.
H. W Baker said I'VE have had sixty
Eve feet taken off for West street, and 30
feet in front Is occupied by Railroad
avenue. Ii the rams horn comes through
and cuts of the rear end Of orr buildings,
We shall simply not have room To 90 BUSH
ness"
Other objections 10 the rams horn are
that IL runs a railroad up through the
wholesale streets and would cut up the
lots in such q way that their value for
building would be greatly deprecated.
The passing of locomotives up the narrow
alley back Of West street would also greatly
increase the danger OF fire.

right there IT is hardly fair or just 10 allow the
city 10 bnfId there think il is only right that
yolr honor should prevent the city from further
building or operating anything there.
Judge Lifehfenberg replied az follows:
Bat the trouble IN that proposition is that
there are no allegations IN your complaint %
that character You DO not ailege that the city
Is building on Columbia street and your right
of-svav. The complaint is based entirely upon
different proposition namely. That yoE want %
build your rtsad Oh this street and the city pre-
vents by tearing mp the track
Mr. MefcaIle - Then beg leave OF your
honor 10 amend the complaint.
Judge l5ehfenberg-We have no objection 10
you amending yotr complaint, In fact, in the
present position il Is your right You are en-
titled 70 IL. but let again suggest that cool
heads and mature delibeYation may prevent
serious consequences. What We are endeayuT-
ing To do Is our duty. we believe our brother
is endeaYoTing 70 do his duty.
As the counsel and attorney OF the plaintiff IL
is his sworn duty to project and guard the in
terests Of his client Ia the performance OF that
duty he Is BOW in court, but in performance OF
that duty we trust he will not lose sight of the
iaeS that he is honored citizen. II Is the
little spark thrown into magazine OF powder
that causes the explosion
We note as the counsel does that this case has
already created great excitement ia the city. We
trust, however, that IL has subsidized by this
time While we viii protect the rights OF the
plaintiff, the railroad company, We also protect
tie rights OF the defendant, the city.
II ray brother VIII permit me. VIII suggest
that he wait until the hearing before any amend
ment is made
Mr.. Metcalfe did. not appear to know
when he had a decisive answer, and he
protested still further, saying:
YoHr honor, they are nacadamiziR- that
= -
eTatioas possible. Now. II the city i allowed -
continue this operation and We should be a.
lowed 70 continue out road, as our rights eltitae
Us TO cross this street, viii BE- obliged 70 teak
UP this rn2eadan in order 70 lay our track on 3
level with the grade. The street would get
hard as rock, and il would take large force OF
men and quite length Of time 70 remove,
which would make il still more expensive. This
operation viii certainly damage the street and
endanger our rights. and counsel for the city
win surely urge that point very strongly against
Judge Lichtenberg interrupted his talk
by saying:
Is it fact that the city is doing this and chang
Columbia street now, or today. differently from
what il was doing fogty eight hours ago, or be
fore the ease was dismissedE
General Metcalfe said he believed So, but
did not seem 10 know.
Judge Lichtenberg gave them permission
TO amend their complaint as to the city
building across their right-of-way, etc.

A BACK DOWN FOR THE CITY.
What one Of the Appraisers Says of the
stipulation.

Mr. Thomas w. Prosch. who was one OF
the appraisers in the proceedings when the
railroad rlghts-of-way were changed from
the old rams horn" 10 the new Railroad
avenue road. said yesterday: The laying Of
the track across the foot of Columbia street
strikes me IS being an outrage. know
how We worked over that question and
how hard We tried 10 come TO al agree
meut IN the matter. The trouble was that
these parties who are now creating all this
disturbance wanted their rigbt-of-way on
the inside Of the avenue next the ware
houses. That could not he given them
because il had already been granted. b1t
ihey were offered the middle of the avenue
or the outside They wouldn't take Il.
Now the corporation counsel for some
lneNpl2c.shle reason has signed a stiuuia-
ton With the roads which looks like :
baCk-Gown for the CITY"
