Everett contract row on city electric railway plan
Tonight the council weighs the Everett contract for a city electric railway system. The old street car monopoly demands 25000 cash up front, opposing Everett’s fair terms and threatening to derail the franchise. Supporters claim Everett stands for honest deal and renewed service, with opponents likely to fade after May 1.

Halstead on Cuba push for annexation or conquest
Murat Halstead argues Cuba must join the United States through purchase or conquest to gain self government. He visited the island and says independence is unlikely, with insurgents and terrain favoring a long struggle. He notes Spanish troops are strong but ill suited to Cuban warfare and predicts eventual U.S. annexation due to strategic and economic value.

Colby Company Returns to S R O After Weather Night
The Colby company returned after eight weeks as the S R O sign again lit early in the evening amid inclement weather. Miss Colline Cole, a renowned baritone, drew the greatest reception yet in the city and La Alberta on the bounding wire drew big applause. Colby and Way’s ventriloquist act with their dancing doll delighted the crowd. Miller and May offered a clever sketch and Ford and Sheridan’s blackface number was well received. Miss May’s singing stood out above typical theatre fare. A new farce is promised tonight with a likely full house.
