fankton county held an election on
the 25th to vote upon the question Of re-
funding the county debt The vote in
the city was about 500 for refunding, and
not vote against it. This vote is not
quite two-thirds Of the regular vote. IT
is expected that the country vote will
still be lighter, as farmers are all busy.
This will at least settle this vexed ques-
ton, and Yankton county will now step
up to the captains Office and pay its
debts. The debt is now about $350,OO0,
Of which $50. 900 is defaulted interest at
eight per cent. The new bonds will
bear four per cent interest for ten years,
and one half cent more after that time.
1t is thought that all bondholders will
gladly make the exchange.

A Vienna special of the 25th says ::
The nihilists here are highly gratified
tonight by information just received
from St Petersburg that the czar has
decided to commute the sentences Of all
the nihilists now in prison under sem
tence Of death, and to pardon large
number Of others who have been SEN
fenced to various terms Of imprison-
ment. One report says that this act Of
clemency on the part of the szar is only
carrying out the traditions of the en-
porors of Russia, who have always upon
their coronation released prisoners and
done many other acts of charity and
mercy. A dispatch, however, from well
Informed parties at St. Petersburg. says
