SOUTH DAKOTA ELECTION.
The Omcial Count Progressing and the Re suits sare Foreshsdowe ed with Reason
 able Liability

Sioux Falls, s. D., Nov. 17.-The off c1al count IS progressing throughout the state, and definite figures will be obtainable within day or two. Enough official returns have been re. ceived to make certain the election of the entire republican state ticket with the possible exception of governor. The republican congressman have been elected by majorities ranging between 5000 and 5000. The legislature is re- publican in both branches. Chairman Jidd's figures show that Lee (fusion) has been elected governor by 4I2. He comedies the defeat of the remainder of the fusion state ticket. Later returns show that woman suffrage has been defeated. The dispensary amendment will hardly carry, while the initiative and referendum will carry by a vote of two to one.

MILITARY ACTIVITY.
Ten Regiments of Regulars Under Orders to be In Readiness for ImmedI-
 ate Movement.

Washington, Nov. 17.-There has been remarkable activity about the war department for several days in the way of preparing troops for serv- ice in lands beyond the United States. An order has been issued directing at least ten regiments cf the regular army, now stationed in northwestern forts and posts, to hold themselves in readiness for immediate transporta- tion and service in tropical countries. Most of these regiments were sent in- to the northern and western posts a few weeks ago for recuperation after their Cuban campaign. While holding themselves ready for service these reg iments will be recruited to their full strength.
 Nothing is said officially as to what the present activity means, but there are several reasons suggested. It is believed that an early movement to Cuba is intended, somewhat sooner than has been generally believed here tofore. Another belief entertained is that theUnited States government de- sires to be in a position to meet any
 
 conditions that may grow out of the pending peace negotiations, and to be in readiness to resume hostiIites if Spain refuses to accept the terms the American peace commissioners offer. In this connection an intimation has got about to the effect that during the delay which has occurred Spain has been able to form some sort Inf coaIi- tion with European powers to back up the pretensions she has been mak- ing in the negotiations. Another req son given for the proposed movement of the regulars to Cuba is that they are to replace the regiments which have given some trouble and have created disturbances, the last row be- ing reported from Gen. Woods com mand in Santiago province.

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
A Bitter Arraisnment of Corporate Powers and the Judiciary for Antagonism
 Toward Labor.

Chicago, Nov. 17.-MOst of the days session of the Knights of Labor con vention was devoted to the reports of committees and that of General Master Workman Hicks. The report of the executive committee said in part: Tt seems next to impossible to insure the passage by congress of proper meas ure to regulate immigration to our shores. The influence of the foreign steamship companies appears to be all powerful to prevent any such Iegisla- tion.
 ''The judiciary, with a few honora- ble exceptions, are merely the hire lings of labor's oppressors, and leg islation is necessary to reconstruct the courts. Injunctions, imprison- ment, bayonets and bullets are await ing the men who take any decided stand against the encroachment of capital"
 Genera, Master Workman Hicks, in his annual report, took strong grounds in opposition to the anti-expansion policy of President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor.

HUMBERT. KING OF ITALY.
that time

Continuing, the king pointed to the acceptance of Italy's proposals re- garding the government of Crete, and the anarchist conference, as proof of the cordiality of her relations with the powers.
 The financial condition of the coun- try, his majesty asserted, was satis- factory, the navy would be gradually increased, and series of internal re- forms would be submitted.
 In conclusion, King Humbert said Italy needed peace, and cordially adhered to the czar's proposal to dis cuss the question of disarmament at the approaching congress.
 King Humbert, while driving to the houses of parliament, accompanied by the queen, the crown prince, the duke of Aosta and the duke of Genoa. was heartily cheered, and the reading of the speech from the throne was ire quently interrupted bp applause.

SHALL WE TURN THEM BACK ?
Question by Gen. Miles at the New York Chamber of Commerce Banquet
 and It's Answer.

New York, Nov. 17.-Speaking at the chamber of commerce banquet Tues day night, Gen. Miles said:
 "Twele millions of people that a year ago were suffering under the op- precision of tyranny and cruelty are to-day under our protection.
 "Gentlemen, what are you going to do with them? Are you going to turn them back again? (Cries of No. no,") No, 1t would be a crime of the nineteenth century to do it. If you cannot establish government for them. you can at least protect them until such time as they shall be prepared Tor self government, and if they do not care to come and be part of this country you can see to it that they have liberal and free government such as you enjoy yourselves

Mckinley and the people. In dis. cussing the Filipinos, the American general refers to them as Children" and says it would be impossible to es- tablish American government in the islands. He adds that they must have some form of colonial government, similar to the British colonial govern ments.
 Did Not Recognize the Insurgents.
 Regarding the complaints of the Filipinos, the general said:
 Tt was impossible to recognize the insurgents, and I made it point not to do so, IS I knew it would lead to complications. Admiral Dewey, after my arrival, pursued the same course. What was done before is not for me to comment on. I, purposely, did not reconize Aguinaldo or his troops, nor did use them in any way. Aguinaldo did not ask to see me until ten days after my arrival. After that I was too much occupied to see him.
 Had No Promises to Make.
 "ln talking with leading Filipinos I told them the United States had no promises to make, but that they might be assured that the government and people of the United States would . treat them fairly. This was because the United States is in the habit of dealing fairly with all struggling peo- pies, and not because I had been au- thorized to say anything of the kind.
 Did Not Need Insurgent Co., Operation.
 We purposely did not give the in- surgents notice of our attack on Ma nila, because we did not need their cooperation, and did not purpose to have it. We were moved by fear that they might loot and piunder, and pos sibly murder. Aguinaldo's subordi-
