AT a mass-meeting in New York City,
April 8, called by leading citizens and pre-
sided over by the Mayor, sympathy was ex-
pressed for persons detained in English
prisons without trial and the President was
requested to demand their release. The
conduct Of Minister Lowell was denounced
as inspiring indignation and disgust, and his
recall was recommended. Another resOlu-

PARTICULARS of the fire at the Yank-
ton County (Dak.) Insane Asylum have Just
been received. The fire is supposed to have
caught from the kitchen. There were at the
asylum fifty three patients and twenty off
GERS and attendants, with their families.

as soon as the attendants left them to rescue
the invalids and females who were inside,
there was a general stampede among them,
and they, too, rushed to the building. The
scene that followed beggars description. The
attendants were making every effort to res
cue the patients, and many Of the latter
seemed determined TO rush back in the
building. Every effort was made to group
the patients rs they were brought out, and
several Of the insane were rational enough to
tender assistance, but some OF them were rs
wild as beasts, and it was found necessary to
knock one or two Of them down to keep
them back. One woman was especially des-
perate. So determined was she to get back

he dropped down and died instantly. The
body lay near the burning building, wrapped

idiotic boy from Union County. The third
body is probably that of Joseph Havery, of
Deadwood, but L. j. Prndle and Frank
Conan, both of Deadwood, are missing, and
probably escaped on the prairie. 1t is not
certain who the fourth one was, and the man.

flames. The charred face was visible. This
body can not be identified, though two or
three Of the attendants who saw it before
death are certain that it was an old man
named Amen Iverson, of Yankton County.
