HOUSE MOVING IN CHICAGO,
Work Stil Done by Old Fashioned
Methods.

Work still Done by Old Fashioned
Methods.
Last year 473 houses were moved In
Chicago. says the Chronicle. Thus
there was an average Of more than one
house moved every day during the en-
tire twelve months. Frame houses,
brick houses and even stoae structures
are moved from one place TO another by
those experts who make s. business OF
this particular kind Of real estate trans
fers. That house-moving is still an
important feature of the city's indus
tries is attested by the fac. that there
are fifty firms in the city devoting spe-
cial attention to taking dwellings from
their foundations and carrying them
bodily to some other point. The opera
ton has been reduced to such q science
that during the journey of the house
not timber or q brick in the structure
is disturbed. The trip is regarded as
SO safe and so certain to be free from
accident that often families do not
move out Of the dwellings At all, but
remain in them perfectly secure while
he houses change locations.
Souse-moving seems a very simple
process. but there are in reality more
complications connected with the proc
ess than a man who has never moved q
house could conjure up in the widest
hight Of his Imagination. In the first
place. house cannot be moved except
by movers who hold q city license
granting them the privilege to engage
In such work. Before a man 10 given
such license he must file q 5000 bond
with the city housemoving department.
This bond is q safeguard demanded by
the city to protect the municipality In
case an accident should occur during
the moving and q damage suit should
follow to which the city Of Chicago
might be made a party to the defense.
The housemoving department has sole
power to lay out the route along which
the house must be taken. Whenever 1t
Is possible the movers are compelled to
effect the transfer by way Of streets
that are little used. A fee Of s. for the
privilege Of moving the house must be
paid to the city.
This does not end the movers trou.
bles or those Of the owner Of the house
by any means. All Of the rules and
regulations Of the moving department
OF the city must be compiled with and
an inspector Is always around to see
that these are observed. The house

ueighbors from whose midst he Is 20

Milwaukee, March 25.-Judge Ludwig,

Judge Ludwig held that the law is in con-

and the United States, the principal
ground being that it interfered with free
dom Of contract, and is therefore null aud

Washington, Jan. 11.-Only seventeen
senator's appeared on the floor at the
opening of tOday's session of the senate.
The prevailing epidemic of la grippe and
the inclement weather accounted for the
absence of many senators.
Mr.. Carter, chairman of the committee
on census, reported favorably the ill
passed by the house making an appur-
tionment of representatives in the house
of representatives among the states of
the union. The senate committee had
made no amendments to the bill as
passed by the house. In view of the i'm
portance of the measure, Mr.. Corter
asked for immediate consideration of it.
Mr.. Hawley fearing that it's considera-
tion might interfere with the army re-
organization bill was inclined to object,
bue was prevailed upon to withdraw his
objection.
At the conclusion of the reading Of the
measure. Mr.. Pettus, (Ala.) objected to
it's further consideration and it went
over.
The resolution offered by Mr. Teller,
(Colo.) providing for the printing Of the
Filipino appeal presented yesterday was,
by consent, laid over until next Monday.
Consideration then was resumed of the
army reorganization bill. Mr.. Hawley,
chairman of the committee on military
affairs, withdrew the committee amend
ment section 81 of the new bill providing
for the retirement of officers on the ac-
tive list of the army.
Senator Teller also withdrew his
amendment to that section.
| Mr. Hoar (Mass.), formally offered the
amendment of which he had before given
notice, providing that no further mill
tary force shall be used in the Philip
pines except such as may be necessary to
keep order in places in the peaceable
occupation of the United States, etc.
Mr.. Carter moved that the amendment
be laid on the table. The motion prevail

A SECOND TOM REED.
Speaker Corbett Will Have no Time
Killers,

Special to Inter Mountain.
Helena, Jan. 1.-THE record of "Na-

the recent populist county convention in
Butte, has been consigned to the shades
OF oblivion; in his place has come
mightier than he for in Speaker Frank
Corbett of the present house of repre-
sentatives is seen the very embodiment
of individuality, originality, forceful-
ness and nerve--yes, nerve, that is the
connection.
AS a gentleman, Mr.. Corbett stands in
the forefront of the forces of gentility;
as speaker of the house his name will Or
nament the list headed by Thomas B.

say that Mr.. Corbett is the most unique

that the draughts which come over the
transoms during the present cold snap
are not of the kind which can be cashed.
Sometimes they Taught at Speaker Cor

seriously. But it matters not how they
are taken-it is a "cinch" that they are

When the house was first called to or

ate that it was organized and ready for

Il overrule the objection was the en-
phatic reply, I'VE are going ahead now.
and I'm not going to Sermit technicali-
ties to impede our progress.
Yesterday the speaker directed Clerk
Skelly to read the bills which had been

foxy Tom Kilgallon remained quiet until
the reading was finished and then re-
minded Corbett that reading of bills was
out of order. Bills is not in order OF

could be referred had been appointed.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE senate
commrtee on commerce did not succeed
yesterday in closing it's hearing on the
oleomargarine bill. Today Il. s. Peters
of Texas, president of the Cotton Grow
ers' association, opposed the bill on the
ground that it seeks to discriminate in
favor of one agricultural interest as
against another. which Mr. Peters
thought was unfair.
Secretary knight, of the National
Dairy union, followed Mr.. Peters, con-
tinuing his Tigument begun yesterday.
He thought the cotton seed mill product
used in the manufacture of oleomar-
garine was comparatively small, and
that the passage of the bill, in his opin-
ion. could have but little effect upon
the cotton seed industry.
