THE OMAHA SunNDAY BEE ETH PIERCED BY COWBOY BULLETS. Details of the Bloody Skirmish at Daly's Ranch ov Battle Oreek. FROM THE VANTAGE OF A WOODPILE. White Shurpshooters Pick Off Three Copper Colored Raid:rs—The Fire Returned and One Rancher atally Wounded. Caxr ox Sprixe Cuzek, (per courier to Rapid City,) S. D., Dec. 18 —{Special Tele- gram 10 Tue Bre.]—There s no disgaising t that hostilities with the Sioux and a k is imminent. George Cos- ncher, rode into camp yester- day and stated that a parly of Indiaus hal been seen near Daly’s ranch, above the mouth of Battle Creck, westof the Cheyenne. He bad asquad of cowpoys with him, who. he said, were hunting stolen horses supposed to bhaue been taken by Indians, He proposed to return to Daly's ranch and, with his cow- boys, lay in wait for the Indians, Tir B correspondent volunteered to accompany him and his offer was accepted. We returned by tran some miles to the ranch and the party lay In wait for about half an hour or more be- hind a woodpile, Soon Indians were heard going at a good rate, whooping and yelling. "Three of the In- dians started to ride through the gate into the ranch, when a cowboy named Fred Thompson shotand instantly killed the for- mer one, who fell backward off his pony, the pony running into a field near by. A volley of shots was then fired at tho restof the band, when two mote Indians fell from their horses, A fusilade was then commenced on both sides, fully a hundred and fifty shots being fired. One cowboy, whose name was not learned, was seriously if not fatally wounded fn the right shoulder, and fs still unconscious. As darkness was coming on the Indians beat a hasty retreat, carrying their dead and wonnded with them. Two men named Juck Daly and George Holden came up with Hon, M. Day just as the Tudians were retreating, and they also exchanged a number of shots with them. The greatest excitement prevails in the vicinity, and itis feared that these Indians being killed, a massacre will ensue tomorrow. All the troops in the vicinity are exercising the greatest vigilance. ALL NOT ON THE SURFACE, A Probability That Future Events at Pine Ridge May Shock the Country. PiNe Rinae Acexcy, 8, D, (via Rushville Neb.) Dec. 13.—[Special Telogram to Tue Ber.) —One week ago toduy occurred that now much discussed council between the hos- tiles and Gemneral Brooke. Direct violation of the tacit agreement then understood by thegeneral, that the former and all their following would move tothe agency, has ouly been emphasized by the hostiles. For more than threo weeks the military havebeen lying here idle. The so-called frienaly Indians ‘who responded with commendable prompt- uess o Agent Royer's Instructions fssued soon after the arrival of the troops to move in near the agency, have become very rest- less and mystified at being still kept here shivering in tepees, instead of beng allowed to relurn to their comfortable log-house homes. Such s the situation here today, but itis not without promise of speedy _ghange, Indeed, achange that may shock the entire country is more than a_ possibility right herelat Pine Ridgo agenoy any moment. A change in another direction will un- doubtedly occur when the company of armed Indiansof the avowedly friendly type sent out yesterd: the military department to the bad lands attempt to force the hostiles to come to the agency. That the sending out of tnis body will fire the fuse of war, many persons whose opinion 1s usually to be relied upon firmly believe, and tiat the kill- {ng of the first white man in the vicinity of the bad lands will be the signal for war at all other points where any considerable number of Indians are congregated is also a foregone conclusion with many of those who are most competent to judge of the situation, That part of the public foreignto this vi- cinity canunot bo mado to appreciate the complexity of the situatio. as it really exists, As it is, correspondents here go as far as pru- dence will permit. It is not poss: ible for them to give even ageneral view of the true state of affaifh that will convey a fair ideaof the situation in print. As aglaring examplo of the lies that are almost constantly being carried back and forth between here and the camp of the Tostiles, and which prevent any understand- ing whatever with tho reds that have been prancing about in war pont and daring the military to fight them, the following will appeary pat indeed: A scout named Black Fox came in last night and said that Two Striize, one of the hostile chiefs who attended the council Suturday, had succeeded =«4n moving 130 lodges of his followers about five miles from the original bad Jands camp. When the old chief got that far a brother of Little, the man who started arow here at the agency about a month ago, and ason of Bix Head, a sub-chief, went to him from this agency with the lie that the government had just shipped @ large pumber of Pawnee Scouts here to Pine Ridgo agency and had disarmed them, and that if his (Two Stwike's) band came n or near the agency they would all be ar- rested. Asa result, many of Two Strike's oliowers deserted him then and there and lew back to their old place with the hostiles, and that's just the way it has been going for syme time past. A large majority of the hostiles are ready to believe aything and everything they hear, particularly if it be favorable to maintaining thelr attitude of war, In the meantime everybody is restlessly watching for the next movs C.

Circumstances Which Beem to Echo the Question of Labouchere, HE LAUGHED AN UNPLEASANT LAUGH. A Savage Attack on fir John Pope Hennessey—The Meeting Consid= ered a Distinet Fallure— Scully's Advice, [Copyright 189 by James Gordon Bennett.\ Kikes Dec. 13.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tur Bee,|—Are Parnell's mental powers failing? A couple of weeks ago Labouchere said he always thought Parnell a man who might go mad, and re- cent events had made him conclude that the evil day had come. Nota few who heard him today believe that his mind 1s unsettled. It was in the postoffice after 1 o’clock this morning when he rushed in, Wrote a tele- gram, rusted out again, with eyes fixed, features set, and seemed to see no one, though there wereanumber in the room whom he knew, He laughed today, not a pleasant laugh, and stuggered those who heard it. It came ont tiat during his speech to the crowd in front of the Victoria hotel word had been sentout for a gathering of the Parnell claus on market day at Kilkenney by the hotel on parale where the market was held, Several hundred people were present. The speakers were Willlam Redmond, Fitzgeral, Harrison, 0'Kelly, Scully and Parnell, The people acted curi- ously: were anxious to seo and hear Parnell, but having done so manifested no satisfac- tion, except the minovity of shoutersin front, but the main vbody af the psople were silent. Cheors came only from the roughest element and boys. It was quite common to hear men and womon ask, which is Parnell? He does not seem to be known except by name. His voice was very husky and he stopped in the middle of his short speech to break and swal- low a raw egg. He devoted himself to an attack on Sir Johu Popo Hennessey. This seemed {Hogical, considering that Sir John was Parnell's can- didate. He said Hennessey was a tuft-hunt- ing place hunter, but did not show how this reputation belonged to him more now than twomonths ago. The speech was a distinct failure. The same may be said of the meet- ing, for no enthusiasm was shown. Scully looks mnot unlike Parnell. He said it was a poor business to swap a horse in the middle of the stream, especiuly when you hadu't another horse, The meeting dispersed quietly. Tt was supposed that Parnell was going to Water- ford in the afternoon and thence to Limerick. He changed his mind and would not go. He changed his mind again to stay at Kilkenny till the election. The various mental changes keep the correspondents jumping. Moanwhile in the evening qulietly at a work meeting the priests met at Ballyragget in North Kilkenny, where the election is to be held, and it should be remembered that the town of Kilkenny, to which Parnell has been devoting himself, is not in it. Fully declared thelr firm resolution and solemn counviction that Parnell had rendered himself totally unfit on moral and political grounds to lead in the future Irish people. They coudemned the Freeman's Jour- nal and the seizwre by Parnell of “United Ireland” and adopted the candi- dature of Sir John Pope Hennessey. On top of this meeting comes the address ofthe Bishop of Ossery who lives in Kil- kenny, addressed to the priest's people, Ho casts his lot with Dillon, O'Brien and other soced ers and and asks the electors of North Kilkenny to do likewise. Like overy ob- server, the bishop is aware that the conserv - atives are hurrahing for Parnell and will vote forhim. So far Parnell has bean firing blank cartridges. There are no electors in Kilkenny, so Healy and Davitt, Dr. Tanner, Dr. Esmond and tho priests voted today against the meeting here. They wautno Donnyborook fair business. 8 Davitt returned tonight from a visit to Castie Corner and the coal mines on theedge of Quuens county, The reception was enthusiastic. Between these two points there are 1,400 electors. ‘“Parnell,” he said to me, “will not get more than twenty votes outside of the conservatives, and they are al' for ham. There are avout four thousand votes in North Kilkenney and as sure as I live he will have at least a majority of a thousand. Parnell is undoing the work of years in inciting racial hatred after years spent by all of usn uprooting it, for he and the rest of us kunow that home rule can't come to Ireland through the English people whom he is now trying to excite against us, But wo will win, He may have the rqugh, unthinking element with him; may have mobs to hoot, but the people who have given the country hearts ave with us.” Sunday is to be a busy day. All the priests of the various districts have something to say about the coming contest and there will o moetings, generally anti-Parnell, in pll directions. 1 spent an hour this evening’in x priests were there going to work in a systematic vav, giving advice, talking to national mem- bers of partiament. I alluded to Parnell’s bare mention to “another side to the story.” “Yes," he replied, “we all know another side to the story and to us one day he said he would lift the corner of the wveil. *I have been assured, he said, of destroying a happy home. Whose happy home have 1 aestroyed ! Let me tell you that in a marriedlife of twenty-three years Captain O'Shea did not spend three hundred nights at home. I have never nrank a glass of wine with him nor has he ever paid a furthing for anything I have ever eaten or drunk.! That is the corner of the veil he lifted. Parnell accuses Gladstone of not giving a straightanswer. Does he not only equivocate! He lies, We did not force himout. We begged him to reare for ashort time. He refused and forced us to depose him, He 13 now working hand in glove with the enemies of Irelaad. The tories are on hisside and will work and vote for him. It is certainly the fact that the tories are working for Parnell but are likely to do him little good, They are dangerous allies of Ireland, Here again Parnell's agent assuved me to- night he was certain of Parnell't success. “Wait and see” he said, “it will astouish you." He is mistaken in one sense, astonish a man in Irish politics, Nothing can Coming Parnell Meeting in Chicago. Cuicaco, Dee. 13, — Arrangements were completed tonight at a meeting of local lead- ers for a great mass meeting at Battery D armory, December 22, in support of Parnell. The meeting will be addressed by a number of well kuown citizens, including Postmaster Sexton and ex-Congressman Finerty. A strong cireular was adopted, defining the po- sition of the signers. Parnell is re- ferred to @s “head of the visible Irish | out his final paj | Irtland, America xm! that he is 1 force ideas revolutionary ed the Irish ment in Great Brital and Australia,’’ and it is the “only Irish leader of who has never condemned principle and who never people for self-defensive 5 The knowledgo that “rebel” as woll as “constitutional”” Ireland was behind Parnell, itis asscrted, compelled Gladstone to bring in his bill, The circular further says: “While surren- dering no princile of onr 0wn, we firmly be- lieve that Ireland, instructed by the examplo of the American colonies, Greeks, Belgians and Italians, has A right to re- sort to force if she can offectually oy it to achieve her liberty, and, fur- that she has a moral Pight to seck for armed allies among England’s encmies to ef- fect. that purpose, We' also recognize that in the controversy between Purnell and Gladstone, the fundamental principle of Irish independence of Euglish dictation is in- volved. On that principle we stand with Parpell.” PARNELL AT KILKENNY, He Addresses a Meeting and Scores One of His Opponents, Kiukessy, Dec. 18.~A mass meeting in the interest of Scully, tha Parnellite parlia- mentary candidate, was addressed by Par- nell today. He warned the electors not to trust Sir John Pope Hemnessey, the cand date of the McCarthy faction, Hennessoy, he said, was well qualified to be a leader in the party of renegades, tigre being no party to which he had not beloBged save the Irish party, Parnell spoke but briefly, showing signs of great fatigue and his voice being so hoarse as to beat times almost inaulible. Reporters are intensely #nnoyed by the mys- terious changes he makes in his plans, He has now abandoned his proposed visit to Limerick and will remala o Kilkenny until after the election, notwithstanding that all preparations have been made for the journey. Four Papers for Parnell.

Beruiy, Dee, 13.—~The reichstag has ad- journed for the Christinas re s, It will re- sume its sittings Janua Its debates, Jike those of the landtag, are losing their bitterness and keen enmity toward the gov- ernment which were wont to characterize them during the Bismarck rogime, The discussion of the budget before it was remitted to the committee, in which the party leaders figured, illustrated the change n style. Herr Bebel inan impassioned yet moderate speech drew a sombre pic- turo of tM® misery of the pens- ant under the present policy of protection, which enriches the great land- lords at the expense of the poor consumers, Herr RBebel conteaded that it was untrue that protection aided the smull farmer, and coutended that the large cultivator and the rent-receiving landlord were the only ones penefited. A high tariff on cereals and cat- tle, he asserted, profited only the rich land holder and impoverished the poorer classes, The rural populace emigrated in masses into the town, thus increasing the misery, crime and dissatisfaction in the crowded centers of population, Herr Richterattacked the military credits, declaring that it was needless to maintain the present expenditures i sw of the peace that now prevails in Europe and the fac tthat no power was menacing Germany, Dr. Windthorst defended the government's agrarian and colonial policies and denied that the mis which Herr Bebel depicted wero due to the existing laws. It was social morals, he declared, and not the orgauization of so- ciety that was responsible for the evils af- flicting the people. A reformer oughtto aim to purify and fortify society through rehigion. A man who could besaid to be without re- ligion was only a beast. The speaker was interrupted at this point by the socialist members with cries of *“What Was Frederick the Great!” “If Frederick were living ndw,” re- plied Dr. Windthorst, “you would not be here,”" at which remark the members laughed. Herr Bamberger made a practical speech, in which he attacked the projected treaty with Austria, saying he was opposed to it if itinvolved a differential tariff, Chancellor Von Caprivi did not try to re- fute Herr Bamberger's arguments, merely contenting himself with saying that he could not discuss the treaty question pending the negotiations, The fact is, he said, that the conference in regard to the treaty which are being held in Vienna ave coming to nothing and are about'to beadyourned until February, with the probability that they will never be resumed. - The two governments were mak- A Dr. Windthorst's present thorough-golug support of the government is due to relations with Chancellor vou Caprivi in regard to the question of relig’ s orders. The bundesrath’ as refused to approve the resolution adopted by the reichstag, by which theological students are permitted to pass the last six mouths of their army service in hospital work. The centrists cousider that this refusal indicates tl the bundesrath will not pass the measures for the recall of the Jesuits unless Caprivi uses the whole of his influence with the government to support their demand : The Volksblatt has obtained and is making the most of the circular of an association formed to combat the destructive tendencies of socialism, ‘The circular, which is private, bears the signatures of Von Moltke, Miguel, Puttkamer, Krupp, the bishop of Treves, and others, chiefly belonging to the old cartel party, The recent speech of Emperor William upon the educational system has had a marked effect upon school methods. The school re- form committee has voted to substitute mod- ern for ancient languages in all the lower classes in places where there are only gym- nasia, and also make such changes in the present system of realschulen and high mid- dle class schools s will enable the course to be coutinued in higher realschulen, In Ham- burg the town council has decided to estab- lish a higher middle class school in accord with the emperov's ideas.

The savant was full of sarcastic humor at first, and assured me that one of the American students of his labora- tory had begged for one drop of the lympli ‘with orders to go to Philadelphia and estab- lish a new hospital, He said it was absurd to know that doctors in all parts of the world were about to inject a powerful polson into the bodies of men be- fore Koch had made known the results of large or long continued doses upon aniwmals, | It is highly dangerous and indiscreet to havo an unkuown and untried fluid in use by ines perts. It is w pity to haveit used upon men in all stages of disease and non-diseaso when those who use it should at least know what elaborate ex periments have proved. “I can- not express an opinion as to tho reason why the lymph only affects tho tissues inhabited by the vacilli until Koch tells what it is made of. We must have tuberculosis tissuo taken from a living patient before the lymph is ap- plied, and tissue taken from the samo apot after treatment to judge what the action fs, Otherwise wo may mistake the changos caused by the disease itself for the changes caused by the lymph. The best cure [ have found is the action of the lymph in cases of tuberculouis affections of the larynx. Under ordinary treatment tubercles form on the edge of the wvocal bands, and finally they are detached, leaving behind them uicers which we can readily hegl, but the dif- fleulty has been these tubereles develop so slowly that by the time one set of tubercl has detached themselves another seb spi another plac Koch nx 50 greatly and they are full grown and ached so quickly that before new ones ap- pear ho can heal the whole lavynx. Itis very * to mo the lymph s dangerous children and persons in an ad- vanced stage of phthisis. In the case of chil- dren it brings on a perilons inflammation of the lungs, and in advanced phthisis It is ant todestroy the lungs. Incasesof tubercular meningitis the fluid is likely to cause fatal inflammation of the brain tissues. No doubt the remedy brings on astonishing changes in lupus and appavent cures have been affected so far in tuberculosis of the lungs. Some casas in early stages of the dis- ease show a slight improvement. The patient claims he feels better. His weight improves and thero is less sputum, but my opinion is these results ave mostly psychological. The patient's mind and system are ed and stimulated by the knowledge that he is re- ceiving a new remedy which is said to act quickly. No tests made now, in this time of excitement are worth much., Wo must h aperiod of quict before the real searct fore the results can be made known. For vatients must be in norma! condition and take a year or two before we can tell whether Koch's remedy is effective for phthisis. 1t is possible that by the end of careful experi menting of twoor three years we may be able to use this lymph successtully—in com- bination with some other compound and so conquer pthisis in its first form: I do not admit that Dr, Koch's lymph is a perfect diagnostic of all forms of disease caused b the tube bacilli, It is 4 diagenostic and very remarkable, ‘but in the few days occupied by the present public experiments wo already find the fluid provoked a reaction where no bac sted, and failed to uct where bacilii were found. The point T make is that the lymph is not an absolutely certain There is one good se s science. Iv proves that several differing maladies are caused by the samo bacilil, such as lupus, strumus bone and joint tuberculosis and phtsisi: When I usked Virchow what he thought of the aunouncement thata professor in Scot- land had discovered the microbe of cancer, he laughed and said: “With God everything is possible, 'Great is Allah! I had an idea that cancer existed without a microbe, but if Russell discovered one, - then i make. an humble bow to the microbe and also to the detector.” Before Dr. Loomis left for New York I interviewed him, He said: "I was skeptical at first, but now consider the lymph the greatest medical discovery of modern if not of all times, Isaw, yesterday, in Dr. Von Bergmann's private wards, an Englishman cured of nine years of Jupus with sixteen injections of less than one-eighth of a drop. The lymph, diluted, cured him of what was considered an absolutely fatal discase. All around me were ses of wonderful cures. Prof. Von Leyden, the groat internal medico, would use lymph on his own child if the occasion should necessitate it.”” He noticed an improvement in advanced cases of lung tuberculosis and advised the use of the lymph. Dr. Loomis said that everydrop of the fluid was worth at least $1,300, as a diluted drop will furnish over one hundred and thirty in- Jections of average strength and any reput ble American physician can got $100 for each injection, as a phial contains about ninety Its present actual commercial value 000, The doctor said a drop was worth three times more than a fine diamond of the same size, vo A Sl Assisted a Murderer to Escape. Parig, Dec. 13.—Anarchist Delabruyere has written a letterto the unewspaver Lo Clar, in which he states that he assisted Padewelsky, a Russian Pole suspected of being the murderer of General Seliverskoff, to make his escape from Paris to South America, Delabruyere's statement is the topic of the hour.
