Result OF an Omciai Count.

ABERDEEN, $. d., Nov. l4.-Tbe
official canvass Of Brown county was
completed today, which gave an indie
pendent plurality Of 80. Numerous
votes were thrown out by h~ecanvassing
board for the reason that tho Judges Of
election failed to properly certify to the
returns. This gives Mellette a plusr-
atty, elects two republicans to the
lower house Of the legislature and gives
the republicans most of the places on
the county ticket. This is the result:
Meilette, 1,602; Loucks, 1869; Taylor,
1923: Pickler, 1851; Gamble, !. 54s; zipp,
1897; Leavitt, 1899; Quigley, 740;
Clarke, 737: Pierre, 2,5s4; Huron, 1868;
for county seat, Aberdeen, 2,S03;
Columbia, 500; for suffrage,
1,60si against, 2,076. The independent
state and congressional tickets have
small pluralities with the exception Of
governor. 1t is reliably reported that
the county independent organization
will take the matter of the Greenfield
into court. The republicans
here figure that with the gain of the
two members in this county the legis-
lature is tied. The Lake county tie,
get to Bio decided, may give the repub-
licans a majority OF one on joint ballot.

QUEENS DECISION
In Ordering the Release of M. Cas-
tonia, the Radical.
Effect on the Irish Situation, whose
Members of Parliament Are Only
Guilty Of Agitation.

NEW YORK, Nov. ia London cable
says: The decision OF the queens
bench division of the high court of JUS
tice ordering the release Of M. Castioni,
the celebrated Swiss sculptor and radi-
cal, who had been arrested at the in.
stance OF the Swiss government for tho
murder Of Counselor OF State Ros.i
during a revolt at Be~llinzona, Switzer.
land, has created what threatens to be
an endless amount of comment. The
radicals, socialists and anarchists are,
naturally, delighted with the decision,
and SO are the extreme conservatives,
those who believe in the divine right of
kings, and consider that a republic has
no rights which any other country is
bound to respect. Among sober, think
ing people, however, and especially
members OF the bar, there exists q very
strong opinion that the decision estab-
fishes a dangerous precedent, and sew
eral writers to the newspapers have not
been slow to assert that had Germany
or Russia demanded tho extradition OF
the murderer, instead OF little Switzer-
land, he would have been hustled over
to the continent before an opportunity
could have been found to submit his
case to the consideration of the higher
court Of justice. All the advices re.
ceived here from Switzerland tend
to indicate that instead of a polit-
ical revolt, the melee in which the
counselor of state was shot was insti-
gated by the radicals to show their con-
tempt for the authorities Of the law,
and for purposes of plumber. 1t was, in
fact, very much such an affair as the
anarchist outbreak in Chicago, but, in
this case, the same people who were
loudest in approval of the summary
justice meeted out by the American au-
thorities, are also loudest in iustifying
the non-eXtradition of the Swiss MUIR
derer and anarchist. Indirectly the de-
cision will, doubtless, have an effect on
the Irish situation, for the leading pro-
vincial papers are already commencing
to argue that the same laws which make
Of England n haven of refuge for the
foreign murderer, ought not to be per-
verted to the persecution Of Irish mem
bers OF parliament who are guilty Of
nothing more serious than constitu-
tional agitation. 1t is not unlikely,
moreover, hat should Balfour enew
his arrests of the Irish contingent their
cases will be taken before the very same
bench which has decreed the freedom OF
Castioni, and its decision demanded
upon the same grounds set forth by Sir
Charles Russell in his argument against
the Swiss government last week.

Fire In Sinux EAIls.

SIOUX FALLS, 5. D., Nov. i2.-At3
o'clock yesterday morning, Steven
Smith, a hackman sleeping in Geo. w.
BurnSide's livery and transfer barn, was
awakened from his slumbers in The hay
loft by the flames and smoke which
came through the ~rafters. Hastily
graSping his clothes he awakened the
three other occupants of the building,
all in the hay loft, and by dashing
through the flames they managed to es-
cape, but one of them, Geo. Ryan, re-
ceived ave Injuries from the flames.
The barn contained a stock OF valuable
vehicles and twenty-siX head of horses.
Only two horses escaped from the barn,
theothers beingconsumed in the flames.
The car shop of the electric motor limo
adjoined the Burnside building, which
was In ashes III a very few mo-
ments.. The Riverside barn, a very
large structure, was next and that
also succumbed to the flames. Nine
horses in this stable were also cremated
alive, making the total loss %thirty-four
head Of horses. The flames, by the
time they reached the Troy laundry,
were under the CONT oil Of the firemen,
and although the building was damaged
considerably, the iremen managed to
save it from total destruction,
The loss of Mr.. burnside is estimated
by him at $lh,00O, on which he had
s., 900 insurance, s., 600 being on the
stock and So, 900 on the building. The
companies who held the insurance arc
the Sun, the Phoenix, Connecticut, Ian
cashire, British American, Etna, Ham
burg-Brenlen, Western, OF Toronto, and
Gernania, all for 81, 900 each. The last
two named are on the building. The
Riverside boarding barn was valued at
$4,000, while the contents which were
burned were valued at So, 900. The
only insurance held was ST. 0 on the
building, in the Queen. The total loss
by the fire is placed at S25, 600 with
$40, 500 insurance.
How the fire originated is a mystery.
lncendiarism is not suspected, and tho
only reasonable theory is that the hack
man must have been smoking in the
barn at the time.

Grave Peril of MISUNDERSTANDING From

LONDON, Nov. 15.-From good
sources in Germany-the same sources
which predicted the fatal termination
Of the Kaiser's malsdy when the in
spired German papers were full of un-
founded congratulations on his con
valescenee-comes a confidential re-
port TO the effect that the presentemperor
Is in grave peril of insanity. 1t is an
open secret in German court circles
that he is suffering from an aural dis
ease, akin, in many respects, TO that
which affected his fathers throat, and
about the exact nature of which his
physicians differ. Some, 10 is under
stood, say that IL can be cured or, at
least, held in check, others, who have
probably a better right to be classed as
experts, say that it is not unlikely to
reach the brain. The emperor has in
sisted upon full and candid reports from
his medical advisers, and it is there
fore not to be surprised at that his
characteristic habit of restlessness is
growing on him more month by month,
nor would it greatly astonish court CIR
cles were it to manifest itself before
vero long in disastrous and unlocked

excitement was caused in financial cir
cles today by the announcement that
Barring Bros. &c Co., of London. the
largest speculative bankers in the
world, have been embarrassed for
months and would practically retire
from business. Excitement on stock
exchange was intense, but there
was no serious results because
OF the short session today. The
announcement is the sensation all over
the world. Owing to the extent of their
operations in railroad land in South
America, the Barings have been more or
less embarrassed for six months. The
Bank OF England and Rotbschilds are
among those who came to their relief.
The first hours dealings were on an
enormous scale and were accompanied
with the widest excite ment, scenes OF
the panicky days being re.enacted on
the floor OF the exchange. At IL o'clock
the lowest prices of the week were
reached. On the appearance of the
