WASHINGTON, July 29.-Superinten-
dent Porter, of the census bureau, re-
ceived a telegram from the board of
trade of Minneapolis indorsing the joint
action Of the secretary of the interior and
Superintendent Porter in ordering a re-
count of the population of both cities of
st. Paul and Minneapolis. Nothing
short of a recount under the direct SUI
pervision of the census officials, says the
telegram, would be satisfactory to the
people of Minneapolis. The superinten-
dent has also received information that a
delegation of st. Paul citizens may be
expected here tomorrow to protest
against a recount in that city. For this
reason Wardle, who will have charge of
the recount in st. Paul, will be delayed
until Thursday.

GRAND FORKS, July 30.-Betore the
republican convention met this morning
a caucus of johnson men was held and
100 pledged themselves to stand firm
by their man and leave the convention
if cheated out of a favorable result. The
convention proceeded to business at
1870. Standish of Nelson, moved that
the committee on credentials be re-
quested to report at 2 o'clock and that in
case of failure to do so, it be discharged
and that the contests be settled blythe
convention. Judge Cochrane offered
an amendment, modifying the original
resolution, and an acrimonious debate
followed, Standish attacked the COM
mittee savagely, claiming it's methods
were star chamber and warned the con-
vention of the danger of DISTINGUISHING
delegates. Judge Francis counseled pa
thence, but thought the committee ought
to report at 2 o'clock, and he feared they
wanted to fix things for Hansbrough.
All finally agreed on a motion requesting
the committee to report at 2 O'Clock if
possible, and q recess was taken to that
hour.

GRAND Forks, July 29.-[Special. Il
The first day of the convention has been
fruitful of but one result, that being the
temporary organization as follows:
Chairman, McCumber of Richland; &C.
retaries, McFadden Of Cass, Thompson
of Pembina, Steele Of Rolette, Holmes
of Pembina; chairman committee on
credentials, Satterthwaite of Cass; chair
man committee on resolutions, Williams
of Burleigh; Clark of Kidder on perma-
nent organization. The convention,
after organizing, adjourned till evening
and then again till morning. On temper
AIRY organization Jesse Frye received III
votes, against 139 for McCumber. The
indications point to the nomination of
Captain Burke by reclamation; and for
lieutenant governor, Fancher, Streeter,
and Roger Allen are candidates,
with the latter in the lead. Bray, Book
OF, Flittie and Carey are almost sure win
ners. Hansbrough is very certain bnt
the johnson men do not give up. There
is some ugly feeling tonight among the
johnson men. They say they are being
euchred out of their rights by paper con-
tests like those in Ramsey and Barnes.
The Hansbrough men, while confident,
are doing but little shouting tonight,
though theyare doing considerable work.
A little scene occurred in the hotel lobby
tonight. Gov. Miller had made the re-
mark that Frye wasput up BY the lottery
men and that was the issue. Frye, who
will be remembered as a strong anti-lot-
terry man last winter, met him
and, taking hold of him, shook him
fercely and said, ssYou d--dllar, come
with me to the man you told that lie and
take it back The governorb broke away
and ran up stairs. The sympathies Of

Chicago,s North Pier Burned.

CHICAGO, July 3O.-A disastrous con-
Aagration broke out tonight on the lake
front at the foot of Michigan street near
the mouth of the Chicago river. At $50
p. m. the indications we're that the fire
might be one of the most extensive that
has occurred in Chicago since the de-
struction of the most valuable part of the
city in October, 1871. To-night's calam-
ity began on the docks of Fitzsimmons &
Cornell, contractors, and quickly spread
to the lumber yards of E. E. Ayre & Co.,
and Whitcomb & Co. All about the
locality where the flames started are vast
stretches of valuable lumber piles and
manufacturing establishments. The
region is known as North Pier and is
situated on the north side of the river
and not more than a few squares from
the site of old Fort Dearborn, the Indian
trading post that marked the beginning
of Chicago's commercial importance.
The wilderness of ships and wharves
rendered the place almost inaccessible
for fire engines, but the fire boats pro
vided by the city for just such an emer-
gency remedied the difficulty in q meas
ure. The scene of the fire is penetrated
by the tracks of the Chicago & North
western railway, which cross the river
neal by for q junction with the Illinois
Central and eastern trunk. lines. Skirt
ing the Northwestern's tracks are the
lumber yards Of the Peshtigo company
and of ID. Paepecke & Co. This prop
erty was threatened at $50 p. m.
THE FIRE UNDER CONTROL.
CHICAGO, July 3O.-By 10 p. m the
fire was under control, thoughstill burn
ing fercely. A potent factor in bring
ing about the result was the lucky cir
cumstance that the wind was blowing
directly of shore. Between ten and fl
teen acres Of lumber were consumed with
not far from forty freight cars. The
direction of the wind alone saved the
shipping and watch houses in the vicin-
ity. Il is estimated that the total loss
will not exceed 100000.
THE DAMAGE DONE.
CHICAGO, July 8O.-Five hundredthou-
sand telegraphepoles, q great quantity Of
railroad ties and oak plank, besides
wharang material, several huge store
buildings and q gigantic pile driver were

YOUNG MEMS REPUBLICAN CLUB
A Ballot Reform Resolution for the
Augusta Convention.

The Young Mems Republican Club again
took ground in favor of the Australian sys-
tenn of voting, last night, and passed a reso-
luton to be acted on by the committee on
resolutions for the state convention at Au-
gusta next Thursday.
After the regular business of the monthly
meeting had been disposed of Mr.. W. G.
Chapman arose and presented for the con-
sideration of the club the following resolu-
tion:
Resolced, That the purity of the ballot is
the safeguard of the state and nation; to
surround 1t with every possible protection is
a part OF good government; and to this end
the Republicans of Maine endorse the secret
system of voting with offcial ballots, which
is no longer an experiment American states,
but an established success 1t reduces the
expense of elections to minimum aud Is
the simplest and most effective prevention
of bribery, intimidation and other forms of
corruption at the polls yet instituted.
Mr. Chapman moved that this resolution
be presented to the Republican State conven.
ton to be there referred to the committee on
resolutions and included in the platform If
the convention so decides. In support of
his motion he made strong speech favoring
the system and urging that the club endorse
the reform.
He was followed by Mr.. W. I'll. Looney,
who fully explained the advantages of the
system and the good that would doubtless
follow from an endorsement from such a
large an d important organization.
Mr.. Looney also answered several cues
tlons proposed by members of the club, and
after further remarks by Mr.. R. S. Laughlin
and Mr. G. A. Streut. Mr.. Chapman's motion
was unanimously adopted.
1t was also voted to have club dinner at
the Ottawa on the evening of June 81, the
further arrangements. of which will be CIV
en- to the members of the club by circulars
from the reception committee.

A plseraceful spsctacle.

Sunday afternoon two young men and
women from the city visited Peaks Island
and appeared on the grounds near the Saw
yer cottage. All of them were under the in
fiuence of intoxicating drink, and partook
freely of the beverage from a bottle in the
presence of persons passing on the grounds.
who heard them use profane and abusive
language. Shortly after leaving the grounds
the party walked over the hill to the woods
among the campers, and there engaged in a
row. One of the women dealt heavy blows
with club over the back of one of the COM
pany. while uttering loud oaths. The man
threatened to use revolver if she did not
desist. One of the occupants of a tent re-
monstrated against such proceedings, and
started off in search of an officer of the law.
His movements deferred the party from
making further demonstrations in the fight
ing line, and cooled their temper for the
time. The perpetrators of such disgraceful
conduct on the Sabbath should be sum-
marily dealt with.
