Since the election many Democrats have
assumed that as the president-elect is .

there is no prospect of an appropriation
being obtained for the Lake Washington

INSURANCE ON A CASH BASIS.

New Rule OF Pacific Insurance Union
Under Consideration by Local Agents.
Much interest has been felt in insurance
circles in Seattle over recent decision of
the Pacific Insurance Union, of San Fran
cisco, which controls, in effect, all insur-
ance written on this Coast. This decision
was to the effect that hereafter all premi-
ums on insurance should be forwarded to
the head offices Of the companies on or be-
fore the end of the month succeeding the
one in which said insurance was written.
Hitherto two months have been permit.
ted, theoretically. to the agents for remit
tances, though as matter of fact three
and four months often elapsed. The effect
of this was that favored insurers were in
many cases permitted to use money which
really belonged to the insurance compa-
MES, while those not SO favored or those
unable to do favors, were compelled to
come to time in accordance with the face
terms of their contracts. The rule just
promulgated will have the effect of put
ting stop to some of these things.
A private meeting of the board Of un-
derwriters, representatives Of nearly all
the companies doing business in this city.
Was held at the Office of the Home Fire
Insurance Company yesterday afternoon.
1t is understood that some of those pres
ent were in favor of putting the rule im-
mediately into effect upon the holders Of
policies in this city. The sense of the
meeting was. however. decidedly sverse to
such a proceeding as yet. The meeting, in
addition to the above, also considered
some changes in the constitution aud by.
laws Of the local board.

Dfsastrous Night Blase just South Of
City Limits-Loss About $4,000,
Insurance $4,000.

A fire at Co'fax and Denny streets, in
South Seattle last night caused the
destruction Of two grocery stores with
their stocks, two society lodge rooms and
the officeot physician. and total loss of
about $4,000
The buildings destroyed were occupied
by the grocery establishments of Bailey &
Co. and E. W. Small. 1t was about 5:45
O'Clock when the fire was discovered in
the southeast corner of the southermost of
the two buildings. the one occupied by
Bailey 4 Co. 1t is supposed to have orig
mated from the stove located in that part
OF the store room on the ground floor. An
alarm was Immediately sent out, and
chemical engine No. 1, Capt. +. G. Gilman,
and engine No. 8, Capt. II. A. Malone, re-
sponded. On arriving at the scene. how.
ever. the latter found itself utterly power
less, as the location was just one square
below the end of the 4-inch main, the
terminus of the city water system. The
location is just that distance below the
city limits.
The north building was occupied by K.
W. Small as grocery store. The build
ing was owned half and half by Il. w.
Small and J. A. Ward, both residents of
OF the stock, valued at $1,000. The build
ing was valued at s., 900 and carried 81, 200
insurance.
The building occupied as a grocery by
B. r. Bailey and F. W. Bailey, under the
firm name of Bailey Il Co., was owned by
Hugo Graft, butcher, and was valued at
$500. The insurance on it is unknown.
The Messrs. Bailey's stock was valued at
about $4,000 and had an insurance Of
5000.
The others to suffer were the Brewery
Workmen's Union, which met in Crystal
hall, in the second floor of the Ward-Small
building. The South Seattle Lodge of
Good Templars, No. OF, met in the Bailey
building.
In addition to these, DR.. E. W. Sifton
was loser. He had All Office over Small's
store. The total loss is about $4,000.

PAYING AN ELECTION BET.
Matt Brannigan Grinds . Hurdy- Gurd
for Moro Than Two Hours.

Matt Brannigan Grinds . Hurdy-Gurdy
for More Than Two Hours.
There is one man in Seattle who will
never again make rash and silly bet.
Yesterday, from / 80 o'clock until
o'clock, Matt Brannigan turned hand
organ on the public streets. and was the
butt of every wit who passed. He was
promptly on time at the corner of Second
and Cherry, where he was joined by Jesse
Cochran. the successful bettee, who held a
soap box for the purpose of collecting con-
tributions for the Orphans home. T. O.
Lindsay, who, as the loser of similar bet,
was to have sung songs at the same
place did not put in an appearance. For
two and a half hours Matt Brannigan
ground ont sounds from a wheezy hurdy-
gurdy and tried to keep his good humor,
while he bewailed the defeat Of Harrison.
Jesse Cochran, who was having all the
fun and making pretty good collection,
was merciless in exacting his pound of
flesh. He toted Matt around the most
thronged corners and wound up on Pho.
neer place. where Brannigsn's martyrdom
was brought to close.
Had Harrison been elected, Cochran
would have been the victim. The humor
of the occasion was Of the rankest kind.

Will be led by two men. One is ]. NJ. Car
son. who is on very intimate terms with
Cleveland, and during . recent visit to
New York spent nearly two hours with
the president-elect, during which, it is
said, Mr.. Carson was questioned very
freely as to Democratic politics in the
state of Washington. The other leader il
ex-Gov. L. X. Church, of Dakota. who was
a member of the New York state legisla.
ture when Cleveland was governor and
rendered such party service that when the
awarded his friend one of the best Offices

The number of prominent Democrats
who are seeking Office under the national
government is increasing. It seems prob

"get in and rustic" F. A. Mcdonald is
now talked of for register of the land
Office and +. Cleyes for receiver Of public
money.
Mayor Ronald has been mentioned for
United States district attorney, but this
lacks confirmation. 1t is based perhaps
upon the oft-announced intention OF
Mayor Ronald to resign his civic Office. It
is believed he would have no objection to
an Office of so much honor in his own pro-
fession. He will have as a rival Wren E.
Crews, who will have the support of the
young Democracy.

ters belonging to both parties. Edgar
Lemma1 is also strongly recommended
for the same Office by the young Democ-
racy.
There is some talk Of q movement to
send President Sweeney. of the board OF
aldermen, to represent the state of WASH
ington At the Nicaragua canal conference
at New Orleans. 1t does not appear that
this is Federal Office. but it is suggested
that DR.. Sweeney is entitled to recogni-
ton on account of having been the only
Democrat elected to Republican board OF
aldermen, and it is not convenient to have
him in the way of aspirants for more per
manent and more lucrative offices.
The arrangement of the Federal Offices
will help the intelligent observer to fore
cast the Democratic candidates for Offices
in the city government at the next election.
