Bar Harbor Correspondent Philadelphia Press.l
The report that Mr.. Blaine shuts himself
up and is only seen by personal friends is
altogether false. He does not court seclu-
sion by any means. He drives out, drives
into the village almost daily, and is regu-
lar attendant of the Congregational Church
here. He is looking remarkably we'll,
much better than even when abroad, I am
told by lady who met him in Florence.
In course Of conversation with the lady in
question, be remarked: "It is Just one year
and day since last saw you," giving evil
denee Of wonderful faculty of memory.

CHICAGO. July N.-One of the fercest
storms of recent years burst over the city at
6 o'clock this evening. The electrical
display. was appalling. Scores of OBJ
jects were struck by lightning and
the roar Of the thunder was deafening.
Seven alarms of fire were running within 10
minutes. The water poured into the La
Selle street tunnel in such volume that
passengers on the cable cars were
compelled to stand upon the seats.
In the southwestern portion of
the city it is estimated that 1000 persons
were driven from their homes. The
Wisconsin Central tracks were submerged,
the water entering the fire boxes of the To-
comotives. Some of the big down.
town gas mains were flooded. The
storm ceased at 10 o'clock when
412 inches of water had fallen. This is the
greatest rainfall for four hours in the his
tory of Chicago. The damage to property
by lightning and water will reach $3.50, 900.

CONTRACT LABOR QUESTIONS.
Queer Phases of the Law That Come Up
Only ns Hypothetical Cases.

Only ns Hypothetical Cnses.
WASHINGTON, July H.-Acting Secre-
tary Bachelor has written letter to the Col
lector of Customs at Cape Vincent, N. Y,
in regard to the enforcement Of the alien
contract labor law, in which he says:
The law does not prohibit aliens or foreigners
from voluntarily coming into this country seek
ing for employment and contracting for work
after their arrival here. One who was an
American citizen, but has become a naturalized
citizen of another country. is an alien in the
sense of the law As to the case of an Amer.
ican citizen residing iE Canada, but without
having been naturalized there, and coming into
this country under a previous contract to
labor-the question as to his liza bIlitv under the
law will be decided when a case is presented
with it's facts ana circumstances.
In view OF the many complicated situations
and close business relations along the Canadian
line, which apparently were not contemplated
or provided for by the law, It is preferred that
they be submitted to the consideration Of Con-
Cress before a needlessly rigorous enforcement
Of the law. possibly causing unnecessary hard
ship aad financial injury TO American citizens.

REAL ESIATr TRANSFERS.
The Torrens System Considered a
Thing of Reauty.


The board of directors of the real es-
tate exchange met yesterday afternoon
in the rooms of A. J. Boardman to take
action in regard to the T0rrens system
of transferring land.
The gentlemen by this time are all
of them very much pleased with the
system, and are putting their shoulders
to the wheel to work bill through the
legislature. The real estate men were
somewhat 10th to take hold sof for Il
time, because they thought that some
one was introducing it to make some
money. Yesterday, after Mr.. McAurther
had carefully explained the system and
had undergone the customary fire
of questions, one of the big real
estate men inquired if he had patent
Oh the system, or why he was interested
in getting it Introduced, and it turned
out that MIR. Barber was working the
thing up in Minneapolis and taking on
himself good deal of expense because
he considered it good thing.
S. 3. Channel said the st. Paul real
estate men would not allow MinneapO-
lis to go alone in the matter IT the saw
them actually taking steps to gain the
system in Hennepin county.
E. S. COrSer, to get the sentiment of
the meeting, moved that committee of
three be appointed to take the matter in
charge and have a bill drawn and pre-
sented, and that they be allowed all ap-
preparation not to exceed $3.50.
Though this does not Introduce the
system it goes good way" said Mr..
Corser, and the sentiment of the real
estate men was that now they wanted it
they could get it.
The board closed the doors at this
point for an executive session.

ANOTHER BRIDGE
Spanning the Minnesota at the
Foot OF Cedar Avenue.

Foot OF Cedar Avenue.
About fifty of the representative
business men of South Mlnneap-
oils met at TollefsOn's hall last
evening to discuss ways and
means of securing bridge across the
Minnesota river at the foot OF Cedar
avenue to accommodate farmers in He'll
nepin and Dakota counties, vino, but for
the lack OF a bridge there, would BRING
their produce to Minneapolis and do
their trading here instead of going to
st. Paul, as they are now compelled to
do. This Is a pet scheme OF all the
pushing, publlc-spirited cltiZens OF South
town, aid has been discussed fire.
quently during the past three years.
The assembly last night included ex-
Aid. Stoft and Vaughan, AID. Parry,
III. y. PETERSON, W. IL. Hicks and other
prominent nell of the South side.
MeSSrs. Vaughan and St0f: informed
the meeting that IL was useless at pres
ent to look to the city for aid i'll the
matter, as the municipal finances We're
not in a condition til Dear the expense,
which is estimated at 100000. They
thought, however, that the county COM
mlssioners could Issue bonds to buIid
the bridge aud would do SO if the
matter were properly urged. Aid. StoIt
thought that Dakota county would be
wiling to bear a part OF the expense.
and recommended that committee be
appointed to present the matter to the
Hennepin and Dakota county delesa-
tions in the Legislature anu get them TO
Introduce bill authorizing the boards
of county commissioners Of the two
counties TO issue bonds to the required
amount.
Aid. Parry said he had talked with
County Commissioner Swift and other
members of The board, and that they
saw the reasonablenesS of the request
and would, he thought, favor the
scheme.
The meeting finally instructed its
chairman to appoint a committee OF
thirteen to place the matter before the
two delegations. The committee was
appointed and will begin its duties im-
