Minneapolis, Mimi. ~ Theodore
Roosevelt will have the solid delega-
ton of 81 votes from Minnesota in
the republican national convention,
il the county conventions today carry
out the apparent intention Of the vot-
ciN as shown in the %caucuscs. Most of
the counties held their Cancuses Sat
urday evening and RETURNS show that
Roosevelt is the favoritc in every see
ton of the state.
With seventy counties heard from
the caucus indications point to the
election of Cos delegates for Roosc-
welt in the state and district conven-
tions. There are six counties appar-
entity carried for Taft Wit h6l dele
gates, and five in which La Toilette
leads. with 30 delegates. The returns
show l3 delegates in doubt.
The state convention will have H.
loo delegates, and 55l are necessary
to control. Not only is Roosevelt as
sured OF u majority in the state con-
veniion. but his strength is distribute
ed so that he is apparently sure To
ccntlol each district convention. Each
district WIN elect two delegates tC
Chicago. and the state convention six
at large.
Conditions were decidedly spotted,
Taft appears to have carried lious-
ton and Winona counties in the first
district, Scott and Nicollet in the
third, lsca in the eighth, and Red
Lake in The ninth. He has a good
chance in Wahasha, in the first, and
.pipestone and in Polk.
The slump of the la Toilette vote
TO Rooseevlt has thrown ~contiol OF
the seventh and ninth districts tc
Roosevelt. They were thought until
recently 10 be La Toilette districts.
La Toilette has carried Meeker county
in the sixth, Redwood in the sew
cnth, and possibly Kandiyohi. In the
ninth he appears to have Pennington
Kittson and Norman.
\ tendency to break away from all
tine candidates is reported in some

Florence, : Feb. 11.-Fire broke
out in a storage vault at the Phoe-
nix Ice Company's plant, in West
Front street, this afternoon about 5
o'clock, and at this hour, $3.50, is
still burning, although the chief of
the fire department feels satisfied
that the flames are now under con-
troll. The fremen are making des-
perate effort to stay the flames, al
though seriously hampered by the Sc
we're cold and IL inches of snow.
The Phoenix plant is owned by Mr..
Lewis H. Mears, and is a two-story,
substantial brick structure. It is a
50-ton plant and valued at 100000,
and is covered by insurance to the
extent of about $4,000. The ice
plant and the light company's plant
are adjoining and should the ice plant
go the light plant would suffer Sc
we're damages.
