Conrad de Ledererantz is sent by the king of Sweden as chief justice to Sa-moa, and Lieut. Ulssparre will bo mar-shal of the court. The chamberlain is a tall, handsome fellow and talks Eng-lish interestingly. These gentlemen are accompanied by Dr. II. W. Kont of San Francisco," mid Mr. J.' J. Hender-son of 1'lainlieid, N. J.

The Pacifio Insurance Union has the Making of the Fire Insurance Bates in Salt Lake- - WHY AEE MATTERS THUS? Mayor George Scott Says the Fire Depart-ment is kb Good as in Any City of This Size. Mr. Hcber J. Crant, a widely known insurance agent in Salt Lake, gave a Times representative b brief audience last evening. The gentleman repre-sents nearly f"i,0(M).(X)0 of property, principally insured in this city. "Why does such a high rate of firfe insurance exist in Salt Lake?" was asked. "It is not any higher than elsewhere in a town the size of Salt Lake. We use the samo rate books under like cir-cumstances as are used on the coast. The Pacific Insurance union has the making of the rates of Utah. The larger the city the smaller tho rate of insurance. Take Loudon for instance, where the rate is smaller than in Xew York. The fact that the former city en-joys a smaller rate is due to the com-pactness with wUich the houses of the mighty town are built. When a fire oc-curs there to nip it in tho bud is an easy matter. The insurance companies, re-cognizing the efliciency of the fire de-partments, are enabled to make the rate less than in New York. Peoplo sometimes wonder why a larger rate is charged in small towns, tho residents thereof claiming they are distant from cities where fires of more frequent oc-currence. This is the reason. The small towns being remote from fire ser-vice are almost always a total loss when a conflagration takes place. The people of Salt Lake, Ogden and Logan have a lower rale than the bal-ance of the territory as have small coun-try towns in California. The insurance companies of the United States have, within the last ten years, made no par-ticular profit on insurance. There busi-ness has simply gone along and in-creased with the prosperity of tho con nty." "One would suppose that with the efficient tiro department of Salt Lake the rate would bo reduced," continued the reporter. "Efficient fire' department! Do you romember the Dinwoodey and opera house fires? The company stood around and let those buildings burn. No doors were allowed to be opened for tear of a draught. The same chief is now at the head of the fire department that had charge of it at that time." Mayor Scott was confronted with the insurance and fire department ones- - lions. "I have not had time to consider the matter. However, I do think, with the improved fire department, a reduction of insurance rates wonld naturally be expected. The lire service of Salt Lake is as good and, in some respects, better than in cities of this size. With improved apparatus, new street plugs and other things necessary for fighting lire, the department is in good shape." AN AliClECT TALKS Of Come of the Handsome Edifices that Contribute to the Beauty of tho City. BEE HIVE, THE PUEE8T IN STYLE. Comments on the Hooper, Dinwoodey, Mercantile, unJ the Chamber of Commerce Buildings. Mr. Mendelssohn, who is architect of the East Sido hole', had just been read-ing the Times' account of tho action of the home architects in regard to res-tricting competition on the city hall to the local numbers of the profession did not consider it serious or that it would at all allcct the rest of the build-ing. The fault might have been in set-ting the stone, in not placing sufficient mortar in the joints, or in removing the frame scaffolding before tho mortar J had sutlicieutly hardened. As to the architecture of the East Sido hotel, he said he did not aspire to build a temple of beauty, but simply to build so much building for so much money, and to build it well. It was not the intention to mako a building that would be conspicuous either for its beauty or for its ugliness. He con-sidered that tho interior whs well ar-ranged and would meet the purposes for which it was constructed. , It is noticeable that the fine front of the Hooper building is growing hand-somer as tho chiseling, or sculpturing, progresses, and when the rather abrupt termination of the bay window is re-lieved by a railing it will still further be enhanced. when I run across him iu the Walker house lobby. "You might as well," said he, "build a Chineso wall about the city at once. Tho Omaha architects tried to draw the line of exclusion, but it wouldu't work. While we had an efficient body of architects tho men believing they could securo better skill ".My heart alwaysswells with pride asi I stand in front of the new chamber off commerce," said Fred Simon who wasi one of the instigators of that tine edi-fice. It certainly was an intrepid un-dertaking, and now that it has been carried to a successful finish, Mr. S-imon's pride is ipiite pardonable. Seventy thousand dollars for a public building is not so easily shelled out as may be imagined. and were wilting to indulge themselves by paying tho bill, drew on Chicago for talent, I found the same thing in Chicago the meeca of tho profession that many of the tine buildings were by New York architects. Again New York draws from London and Paris and by this importation wo get the best results of the great architects of the world, which gives novelty and variety of style to the architecture of our cities." "Which do you consider tho finest building in the city!" I asked him. "From an architectural standpoint the Bee-Hiv- e I mean the building next to tho Eagle gate. It is by all odds tho purest in stylo, the simplest and most harmonious of any in the city," and he qualified this by adding: "15efore the addition was put on." As to the Mormon architecture in general he was somewhat disappointed, as he cvpected to see something in color anil line. While he had traveled a great deal in this coun-try and abroad, he hail never seen any-thing like tho temple, and he conceded that it had individuality of design. But the most wonderful building in his estimation is the tabernacle where the immense audience of 14.0)10 can be dismissed in five minutes, and its fine acoustic qualities. Speaking of the tabernacle brought up tho great auditorium at Chicago and Mr. Mondelssohn told me a novel fea-ture about this building that I do not recollect of hearing. The auditorium room is not rectangular, nor illiptical like the tabernacle, but trumpet shaped, the stage being at the small end of tho horn. Not only do the side walls widen out as they retreat from the The two fires for which Chief Stanton was soundly abused, and which were looked upon as public calamities, have turned out to be blessings iu disguise, and we can join tho Phenix cities of Washington in the paradoxical conclu-sion that "the best way to build up a city is to burn it down." , Out of the Dinwoodey ashes has sprung up one of the handsomest blocks in the city, and since the plate glass has been set in its line oak casing it can bo said, truly, that the Dinwoodey storeroom is the most metropolitan of of any in the city. ft This will hold good until the Walker Bros', mercantile building will boom up at Third South and Main, when one of the most spacious dry goods rooms in the west will dispute its title to that distinction. And yet I never step into the mam-moth co-o- p store without feeling like taking off in reverence to the accom-plishments of a past that it is the pro-vince of small minds to be little. And what building stands up more majes-tically than Zinn's Savings bank If the architect who designed it never saw the Potter building in New York ho must have anticipated it. But history repeats itself, even in buildings. ft Mr. M. P. Mason and wife of Carth-age, New York, have been stopping at the Walker house for tho past few days and have left for Texas points. Mr. Mason is a gentleman of very high standing and is very well informed in regard to the prosperity and future of the newer cities of the United States. stage but the ceiling rises higher. This peculiarity of construction is not readily detected as the decorations in a great measure overcome it. From the same person I learned that in Omaha the foundations of ninety per cent of all the buildings are of brick, the tine quality of Omaha hard burned brick being preferable to stone. In fact brick is rapidly growing in favor as the material for foundations. ft ft In regard to the settling of the arch in the Homes block, Mr. Mendelssohn He tells me in regard to Salt Lake that tho business blocks now in process of erection are liner and costlier than those found iu any of tho cities ho has visited. That not so many dwelling houses are being erected here as iu some other cities but that next year will probably be the great year for house building. Ho was also greatly impressed by the great number of peo-ple on the street and the activity in business. Mr. Mason is figuring on the purchase of some fifty thousand dollars worth of acreage through the firm of Tousey & de Kicqles, which shows pretty good faith in the city. IIKKVRTieS.
