Speciat Diswatch to The Ciicacn Tribune, Sr. Paun, Minn., Sept. 10.~In military circles there is great interest at the removal of Sitting- Bull and his immediate band from Fort Yates to Fort Randall, It {s thought their removal will make trouble. The steamer Shermad left Bis- marek yesterday to take Bull and his band, but hasbeen detained, and bad not reached Yates at last accounts. Telegraphic communication with Yates is defective. The lust news is the following dispatch, under date of the Sth “The day has been the must exciting one for yeurs. Last evening Sitting- Bull was {nformed that he oust zo to Randall und that a bout would be nlong ina nim.

As soon as the attitude of Sitting- Bull beeame kaown Col. bert ordered Combuny H, Seventeenth Infaniry, Cupt.

Howe's assistance, and th horses of Company B aresnddicd rendy to mount on mmoment’s notice. ‘The artillery’ and alt is ‘ready for instantnneous netion. The band and all the civilinn employés have been placed un- der.arms. Such precautions bave been tuk that it is not believed any serious resutts occur if the Jodians offer any resistance. Sitting-Bull has lost. confidence in Scout Allison + and threatens to —_ kill him {¢ bo comes within bis reach. Some thirty of Sitting-Bull’s camp were missing this mor: ing, having escaped during the night.

Ito, Colo., Sept. 5.—For some time past stra;s- gling bands of Indians’bave passed throurh here on their way to the reservation of tho Southern Utes. It is supposed they are running away from the Uncompahgre Agency, to aveid being transferred to the new reservation in Utah. There are some fears that trouble will ensue before the removal is effected... The Utes are very unwilling to ro, and some of the more outspoken fave expressed their. intention to fight as soon as the women and children are out ofthe way. The (th inst. hus heen set as the day for removal, but, since the “Oth of lust month, the women and children, with the stock, have been slowly going down the valley.

Special Dispatch. to The Chicago Tribune. - Lone Brascu, N. J., Sept. 10.—The burricans that wus yesterduy announced has not yet sp- peared. In its stead there came, before mids * night, a heavy, murky, rain-Inden mist, which towards morning turned toa sultry min. The weather, which day before yesterday changed 20 degrees in two hours—from an equatorial heat to temperate—changed uzuin this morning, and the beat of the hottest summer duy re turned with an atmosphere that was filled with drifting clouds of mist and heavy with rain. The breeze from the sea died away, and whut breeze there wes was hented, sticky, invigorating... It was a murky dog-day, wrapped in fox—as unseasonable here the other won- derful things of this remarkable summer, W hatever the effect upon the President may be, the tide of travel. which since the Lresident are rived has been so heavy towards the Rraneh, is setting buck aguin, for FASHION +HUNS A FOG at the senside iu September. The President, improving as he certainly hus been since be teft the malaria of Wasbington, has made no per- ceptible gain. He bas not put an ounce of ficsh- upon his shrunken form. Suid one who saw him = yesterday: “You can span his lees just above the knee-joint with oue hand. The fingers seem to begin at the wrist, and you can clearly trace the dividing line from the wrist to the fingers’ ends. The flesh scems to be simply lying about the bone, and toform a loose covering for it.” {t is seid that tne President is NOT WIMSELF AS CHEERFUL — > as he wastwenty-four hours azo. Dr. Bilas even. said Just night that, when the President was told how pleased tao people of the country were to hear of his improvement, ho replied that they hud LITTLE TO FEEL PLEASED OVER, thereby conveying the idea that he did not cou- sider his own progress us being very wreat. To- night, still, bis attendants talk very, hopeful. Col. Rockwell, being asked in wbat particular the President louked better, said: “ His lips have recovered their redness, and. bis eyes are. bright. He bas little appetite, but can eat whut is necessary to support life and supply the ma- terial for the heating of his wound. ‘The swell- ings huve gone dawn. i ' THAT ON THE BACK, which wns about the size of a hen’s egg when be Jert Washington, can now scarcely be seen. It is difficult to tell you how ho ‘Tooks better, but he does in a thousand ways.” ; “Have any new arrungements been made for his comfort?” “ Yesterday we got n set of nir-pillows of As sorted sizes, and these make him feel easter. When he feels tired on one side from lying long in one position we piace : AN AIR-PILLOW under him, and intiate it a3 much as we {fke. His position is thus changed in tho. gentlest possible manner, and to just the point where be is most comfortable. We expect today one of those easy chairs which can be arranged {0 any position a patient Ukes. We do not intend to place him in it at once, but it will be ready whea needed.” DR. AGNEW IS NOTED FOR I1fS RETICENCEs and from the first has declined to talk. tte has left that for Dr. Bliss, Ho bas arrived to take his piace at the sick bed, relieving Dr- Hamilton. Being asked if he noticed any Particulur. chango in the President's con- dition since be left him here, Imme- dintely after his removal from Wasbingtoa, he suid he thought that he had improved. -But he also said that when -he suw the President last he was Ina very low condition, and It is remem bered now that, on Sept. 6, Dr. Agnew wrote (0 afviend that he had always gravely doubted whether the President could recover. Dr. Bliss has at lust acknowledged that the fears of trouble in the lungs, Indicated for the first time two weeks azo in thee dispatehos, did exist, aad that the symptoms which then gave rise to these feurs have not yet disappeared. SPRAKING OF THE LUNGS, he says: * We have éxamined them very closely- In sounding them at frst we found that itdid not extend. nor did the flat sound we bad re marked become any more noticeable.
