ROME, March 9.-In the chamber of
deputies to-day Prime Minister Crispi
said that the ties connecting the Italian
and German dynasties and peoples, the

expression to their sympathy with
stricken Germany and their good wishes
for the new emperor. The president
said that the German ambassador had
Just visited him and had requested him
to thank the chamber for the recent
votes of sympathy with the crown
prince. The chamber, the president
said, shared Germany'S grief and
greeted the new emperor, trusting that
the ties that bound the two nations
would never he dissolved. The chamber

MITCHELL, OAK, March 9.-Ihe
Dakota Methodist university at this
place was consumed by fire this morn
ing at $3.50. One of the students was
killed in trying to escape from the burn
ing building, two were fatally I'M ured,
and ten or more other persons were Sc
riously injured. About forty students
and several of the faculty occupied the
building, which was a three-stOry stone
structure with basement. The stairway
leading from the second to the third
floor was in flames when the fire was
first discovered, thus cutting off the
means of escape. Five students jumped
from the third story windows upon the
frozen ground, and four young ladies,
including Miss Hattie Taylor, teacher
of elocution, jumped from the second
floor with fearful results. The follow
ing is list of the dead, dying and in
jured:
iii. PITCHER, student Worthwhile, Oak. hurt
internally and died two hours afterward.
HARRY TAYLOR, of Pennsylvania, teacher
of penmanship, skull fractured; is i'll dying

MISS SHANG, of Mitchell, slightly injured in
back.
Prof. RENO, ankle sprained.
Messrs. BELL and STILLwELL, of Mitchell,
badly burned.
Prof. DUNCAN, badly burned.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
though it if thought to have been
spontaneous combustion of material in
the art hall. The building was erected
in 1884, of Sioux Falls Jasper stone, was
magnificent structure and the pride
of Mitchell. The insurance amounts to
only $500, while the loss is estimated
at $4,000. Dakota university was sit
uated on an eminence in the suburbs of
this city, commanding fine view in all
directions. The building was cOmmo-
dious structure of four stories with lis
feet front, of Venetian architecture,
built of granite, with sandstone trim
mings. Rev. William d. Brush, d. D.,
is president of the faculty.
Owing to the commanding site of the
college, the fire lighted up the sur
rounding country wildly. The scene
was heartrending as the agonized spec
tators saw the victims gather at the
windows, with no recourse but to leap
to the ground. Nothing is talked about
to-day but the disaster and the injuries
of the wounded.

G. Parkin, who jumped from the
burning building this morning, died of
his injuries this evening.

Why Parliament Failed to Ad.
iOuPD

LONDON, March 9.-The failure of
parliament to adjourn as mark of re-
spect to the memory of Emperor Will
lam, of Germany, was due solely to the
Importance of the statement of Mr..
Goschen, representing the governments
scheme for converting the consOls.
The fact that the royal standard at
Buckingham palace was not lowered on
receipt of the news of the news of the
death of the emperor created among
the uninitiated quite as much surprise as
did the neglect of parliament to adjourn.
but it is explained that this is never
done except in case of the death of the
sovereign of England, or in the event
of the death of foreign potentate dur
ing the absence of the sovereign from
the palace. While the ruler of Eli
gland occupies the palace the flag must
float by day. The German embassy
had no official news of the emperor's
death until nearly noon, and the flag OF
Germany was not half-masted until
after its receipt, though the flags upon
other buildings had been lowered some
time before.

Over the Situation in the North

Over the Situation in the North

OTTAWA, Ont, March 9.-There is
considerable uneasiness felt over dis
patches from BatOche, Northwest Ter
ritOry, the scene of the rebellion of
1855, to the effect that Gabriel Dumont
is stirring up trouble among the half
breeds. He has been writing letters
from New York melting to agitation,
though he says he will only use political
means. For some reason best known to
the government, detachment of the
mounted police stationed at Prince
Albert was ordered to Ba
toche to be in readiness for any
emergency. There is a good deal of
speculation as to the cause of the
trouble, but Northwest members say
the half-breeds at this period of the
year, having nothing elsO to do, assem-
bic to talk politics. 1t is pointed out,
on the other hand, that it was just after
such a gathering that the trouble of
1885 broke out. The only difficulty
supposed to exist in the neighbOrhOOd
in the northern part of the terri
tory are said to be starving, and
the half breeds are supposed to be in
not much better condition. Last year
the government issued seed grain to
them to help them and the arrangement
in view of the great cost of this grain
was that for every bushel issued two
should be returned to the government.
This would about balance the account,
but the people could not afford to make
the return, and the terms were reduced
so that the payment would be bushel
for buShel. 1t is considered probable
that the seed grain question is agitating
