WAsHINGTON.-one of the old men of the
senate who does not rush off Immediately upon
the adjournment of congress is Senator Red
field Proctor, of Vermont. The reason he does
not join the early exodus after congress adjourns
is that he has some of his principal business
interests in this city, No knows how
wealthy Mr.. Proctor is. as he is as mum as a
piece of his own granite or marble regarding
his personal affairs, but by inheritance and by
his own acquisition he is the largest individual
owner and dealer in marble and granite in the
world. He is very fond of these two stones, and
he is gradually putting them into buildings of
considerable consequence here in Washington.

Structures.
II STORY BUILDING STARTED

SAN FRANCISCO, April 24.-Arrange
ments for the reconstruction of the new
and greater San Francisco are rapidly
crystalizing and soon the sound of build
ing will be heard in every block of the
devastated district. The blowing up of
the ruins in the ruined section has al.
ready begun and is now well under way.
There will not be a dangerous ruin
standing on Market street by this af-
ternoon. A large squad OF United States
artillery men assisted by the municipal
authorities have been dynamiting all
the tottering buildings and walls. This
work has so far been confined to Market
street in order to open a safe artery
from the outlaying districts to the wat.
er front. The district north Of Market
street and the business section will re-
ceiye the same treatment after Market
street is clear.
A commission last Sunday investigat-
ed all the buildings left standing upon
the main thoroughfares of the devast-
ated city. 1t was ascertained that near
~ all the steel frame structures had
withstood the earthquake and although
almost without exception they had
been gutted the loss was in most cases
confined to the contents.
Erect II Story Skyscraper.
As showing the disposition prevail
ing amongst property owners of the
city the action of the Humboldt bank.
which will at once erect a new build
ing seventeen stories in height, may be
cited. Two months ago plans were ap-
proved and contracts let for the build
ing and the steel construction is already
on the way west from eastern agents
of the contractors.
Yesterdays orders were given to 90
ahead with the work of building, build
fast" was the order, and this means that
the expenditure of every possible en-
ergy that money can purchase for the
construction of the building will be
made.
The site is on the south side of
Market street one hundred feet east of
Fourth. The site cost 100000 and is
held by its owner to have every cent
of its original value today. The build
ing will cost 100000.
The construction will be steel and
terra Gotta, a construction that has
stood the test by fire and earthquake.
The whole habitable part Of San Fran
cisco has been organized and districted

most thorough manner. There is no
