[ Special Telo- prain to THE Bun. ] There Is no disguising the fact thnt hostilities with the Sioux and a general outbreak Is imminent. George Cot- grove , nn old rancher , rode Into camp yester day and Htutcd that n party of Indians lin I Leon seen near Daly's ranch , above tha mouth of Battle Creek , west of the Choyonno. Ho had u squad of cowooys with him , who. he laid , were hunting stolen horses supposed to Laue boon taken by Indians.

Wo returned by trim some miles to the ranch and the party In wait for about half an hour or more bo- rhlnd a woodpile.

Direct violation of the tacit agreement then understood by thogencr.il , that the former nnd all their following would move to the agency , has only been emphasized by the hostlles. For moro than three weeks the mllltnryhava been lying hero idle. The so-cnllod friendly Indians Who nMpondcd with commendable prompt ness to Agent Royor's Instructions Issuec' soon after the arrival of the troops to move In near the ngency , have become very rest less nnd mystified at being stil Iccpt hero shivering In tepees , instead o being allowed to return to their comfortabl log-housa homos. Such IB tha situation here today , but ills not without promise of speedy : bango. Indeed , a change that may shock Ihifentlro country Is moro than n possibility right hero at Pine Uidgo agency any moment , A change In another direction will un loubtodly occur when the company of armed Indians of the avowedly friendly typo sen out yesterday by the military department to the bad lands attempt to force the hostllos tt como to the agency. That the sending out o : this body will tire the fuse of war , many persons whoso opinion is usually to rolled upon firmly believe , and that tbo kill Jng of the first whlto man in the vicinity o the bad lands will bo the signal for war at nl other points whore any considerable numbc : of Indians nro congregated Is also a forcgom conclusion "with many of these who are inosi competent to Judge of the situation. That part of the public foreign to this vi cinity cannot bo made to appreciate th complexity of the situation as it really exists , As it is , correspondents hero go 03 far as pru dcnco will permit. It to not possIble - Iblo for them to glvo oven a general vlow of the true state of afTiilfl thnt will convoy a fair idea of the situation lu print. As a glaring oxamuloof the lies that nro almost constantly bclncr carried back and forth between hero anil the camp of tbo liostilcs , nnd which prevent any understand ing whatever with the roils that have been prancing about in war point nnd daring tbo military to fight them , the following will nppcar'y "Pat Indeed ! A scout named Dlack Fox came ta last night nnd said that Two Stri o , ono of the hoitilo chiefs who attended the council Saturday , had succeeded ln moving 130 lodges' of his followers about flvo miles from the original bad Jauds camp. "When the old chief got that far n brother of Little , the man who started a row hero at the agency about a month ngo , and n sou of nihHoad , a sub-chief , wont to him from this agency with tbo llo that , the government had Just shipped n largo number of Pnwuco Scout ? hero to Pine Kldgo agency and bad disarmed them , and that if bis ( Two SUriko's ) band came in or near the agency they would all bo ar rested. As a result , many of Two Strike's followers deserted him then nnd there and flow back to their old place with the hoitllcs , and that's Just the way it has been going for some tlmo past. A largo majority of the hostlles nro ready to believe anything nud erorythlng they hoar , particularly if it bo fuvornblo to maintaining their attitude of war. In the meantime everybody is restlessly Watching for the next move. C. II. C , TO TUK The Million oil Wlilob the Friendly Indians Klnricd Friday. PINB RiDor. AOKNCT , S , D , , Dec. 13.

[ Now York Herald Cubic Special to TUB Bnn.l Are Parnoll's mental powers failing ) A couple ot weeks ago Lubouuhcre snld ho always thought I'uriiolt n man who might go mnd , ftnd re cent events bad made him conclude thnt , the 'evil day hart come. Not a few who heard Itn today bellovo that his mind is unsettled. t was In the postofllco after 1 o'clock this lornlng when ho rushed In , wrote n tele- ram , rushed out again , with oycj fixed , 'eiiturcs ' set , anil seemed to see no ono , iiough there wore a number In the room horn ho knew. Ho luughod today , not a pleasant laugh , nd staggered those who heard It. It came it tint during his speech to the crowd hi ' rent of the Victoria hotel word had been cntout for a gathering of the Purnell. clans in market day at Kllkcnnoy by the hotel in parade where the market was old. Several hundred people were resent. The speakers wevo William tcdmond , Fltzgcral , Harrison , O'Kolly , cully and Purnell. The people acted curl- maly ; were anxious to see and hoar Parncll , ut having donu so manifested no satlsfac- lon , except the minority of shoutew In f rent , ut the main tiody uf the people were silent. Jhcers came only from tno roughest element ml boys. It was quite common to hoar mon , nd womnn ask , which is Parnclll Ho does ot scorn to bo known except by nnmo. His olco was very husky and ho stopped hi the nlddlo of his short speech to break and swal- ow a raw egg. He devoted himself to an. attack on Sir ohn Pope Hennessey. This seemed Illogical , ' that Sir John Purnell's 'onsldcrlng was enn- Iilato. Ho said Hennessey was a tuft-hunt- ng place hunter , but did not show how this reputation belonged to him moro now than wo months niro. The speech was a distinct 'allure. The same may bo said of the incut ng , for no enthusiasm was shown. Scully looks not unlike Parnoll. Ho aid It was a poor business to swop a horse .11 the middle of the stream , especlaly when on hadn't another horso. The meeting dispersed quietly. It was upposcd that Parnell was going to Water- 'ord In the afternoon and thence to Limerick , lo changed his mind and would not go. Ho ihanged his mind again to stay at Kilkenny 111 the election. The various mental changes tecp the correspondents Jumping. Meanwhile In the evening quietly at a , vork meeting the priests mot at Ballyrnpgct n North Kilkenny , where the electtou Is to bo bold , and It should bo remembered that the town of Kilkenny , to which Parnoll has been devoting himself , is not In It. Fully talrty flvopriests jvero , prosontj The .prlosts declared their firm resolution nod solemn conviction that Parncll had rendered himself totally unfit on moral and political grounds to .oad In the future Irish people. They condemned the Freeman's ' Jour- lal and the seizure by Parnoll of "United Ireland" nnd adopted the candi dature of Sir John Pope Hennessey. On top of this mooting come ? the address of the 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 era nnd nnd asks the electors of North Kilkenny to do likewise. Like every ob server , the bishop is aware that the conserv atives are hurrahing for Parnoll and will veto for him , So far Parnoll has boon firing Ltlanlc cartridges. There are no electors In Kilkenny , so llealy and Davltt , Dr. Tanner , Dr. Esmond and the priests voted today against the meeting hero. They waut no Uonnybrook fair business. . Davltt returned tonight from a visit to lastio Corner and the coal minus on thoedgo of Quuons county. Tno reception was 'tithusiastlc. ' Between these two points there are 1,400 electors. "Parnoll , " ho said to'mo , "will not get moro than twenty votes outside of tbo conservatives , and they are til1 for him. There are about four thousand votes In North Kilkennoy nnd as suvo as I ivo ho will have at least a majority of a thousand. Parncll is undoing the work of years In inciting racial hatred after years spent by all of us in uprooting it , for ho and the rest of us know that homo rule can't come to Ireland ihrough the English people whom ho is now trying to excite against us. Hut wo will win. Ho may hnvo the ro.ugh , unthinking element with him ; may have mobs to hoot , but the people who kavo given the country hearts are with us. " Sunday la to bo a busy day. All the prlosts of the various districts linvo something to say about the coming contest and there wil bo meetings , generally antl-Parnoll , in pl directions. 1 spent an hour this evening in the patriot committee room. Six priests were there going to work In a systomatl wav , giving advice , talking to national racnv bora of parliament. I alluded to Parnoll's ' bare mention to "another side to the story. " "Yes , " ho replied , "wo all know another side to the story and to us ono day ho said hi would lift the corner of the veil. "I hnvi been assured , ho said , of destroying a happy home. Whoso happy homo have 1 acstroyod I Lot me tell you that In a married life of twenty-three years Captain O'Shea did not spend thr'eo hundred nighu at home. I have never urank a glass of wluo with him nor has he ever paid a farthing for anything I have overeaten or drunk. ' That is the corner of the veil he lifted. Parncll accuses Gladstone of not giving a straight answer. Does ho not only equivocate ! Ho lies.Vo did not force him out. We bogged him to re tire for a short tlmo. Ho refused and forced us to depose him. Ho is now working hand In glove with the enemies of Ireland. The torlcs are on his side and will work and vote fur him. It is certainly the fact that the torlos nro working for Parncll but nro likely to do him little good. They are dangerous allies of Ireland. Hero again Parnell's agent assured mo to night ho was certain of Parncll't success. 'Walt nnd Beo1' ' ho said , "It will astonish you. " He Is mistaken In ono sense. Nothing can astonish a man In Irish politics. Coining Parncll Meeting In Chicago. CHICAGO , Deo. 13.

The circular further s.iy : "While surren dering no prlnclnla of otir own , wo firmly bo- llevo that Ireland , instructed by the example of the American colonies , Greeks , Belgians ' nuu Italians , has 'a right to re sort to force If * she can effectually employ it to nchlcvo her" liberty , nnd , fur ther , tnat she has a moi'al right to seek for armed allies among England's enemies to ef fect that purpose.

Vlroliowand Loomln Talk : on the Ettl onuy of Kouti'N Lymph. ( Copi/rlflMed 1SOUJy Jama Go/xloii ZIemuU.1 BERLIN , Doo. 13. [ Now York Herald Cable Special to THIS Bun. | The Herald inter viewed Prof. Vlrchow , the foremost patholo gist of the world , and obtained his views on Dr. Koch's lymph. The savant was full of hurcastlc humor at first , and assured mo that ono of the American students of his labora tory had begged for ono drop of the lymph' with orders to go to Philadelphia and estab lish a now hospital. Ho said it was absurd to know that doctors in all parts of the world were about to Inject n powerful poison into the bodtc * of men before - fore Koch had made known the results of largo or long continued doses upon animal ] . It is highly dangerous and Indiscreet to have an unknown and untried fluid in use by Inoi pcrts. It is u pity to have it used upon men In nil stages of disease nnd non-disease when those who use It should nt least know what elaborate experiments hnvo proved. "I can not express nn opinion ns to the reason why the lymph only affects the tissues inhabited by the Bacilli until Koch tells what it U made of. Wo must have tuberculosis ttssuo taken from n living patient hoforo tbo lymph Is ap plied , nnd tissue taken from the same spot nftcr treatment to Judge what the action It. Otherwise wo may mistake the changes caused by the disease Itself for the changes caused by the lymph. The best euro I have found Is the action of the lymph In cases uf tuborculouis affections of the larynx , Under ordinary treatment tubercles form on the cdgo of the voc.U b.ituli , and finally they are detached , leaving behind them ulcers which wo cuu readily heal , but the dif ficulty has been these tubercles develop so slowly that by the tlmo ono sot of tubercles has detached themselves another set springs tfr another place. Koch accelerates the growth and segregation of tubercloi lu the larynx so greatly nnd they are full grown and detached so quickly that baforo now ones ap pear ho can hcnl the whole larynx. It Is very clear to mo the lymph Is dangerous to children nnd persons in an ad vanced stage of phthisis. In the case of chil dren it brings on n perilous Inflammation of the lungs , niul In advanced phthisis It is nnt to destroy the lungs. In cases of tubercular meningitis the fluid is likely to cause fatal inflammation of the brain tissues. No doubt the remedy brings on astonishing changes iti lupus and apparent cures have been affected so far In tuberculosis of the lungs. Some cases in early stages of the dis ease show a slight Improvement. The patient clniuibho feels bettor. His weight Improves nnd there Is less sputum , but my opinion is these results nro mostly psychological. The patient's mind and system nro affected and stimulated by the knowledge that ho is re ceiving a now remedy which Is said to act quickly. No tests made now , In this tlmo of excitement are worth much. Wo must have a period of quiet before the real search ; be fore the results can bo made known. For patients must bo in normal condition and take a year or two before wo can toll whether Koch's remedy is effective for phthisis. It is possible that by the end of careful experi menting of two or three years wo may bo able to use this lymph successfully in com bination with some other compound and so conquer pthlsis In Its first forms. "I do not admit that Dr. Koch's lymph Is n perfect diagnostic of all forms of disease caused by the tubercle bacilli. It Is dtacnontlo nnd very remarkable , 'but In the few days occupied by the present public experiments wo already find the lluld provoked n reaction where no bacilli existed , nnd failed to nut where bacilli were found. The point I make Is that the lymph Is not an absolutely certain diagnostic. There is one good service which It renders science. It proves that several differing maladies are caused by the same bacilli , such us lupus , strunius bono nnd Joint tuberculosis ami phtsisis. " When I asked Vlrchow what ho thought of the announcement that a professor In Scot * land haa-dlscovored the microbe of career , ho laughed and said : "WIthGod everything Is possible. 'Great U Allah I I hod an Idea that cancer existed without a raierobo , liut if humble bow to the microbe and also to the detector. " Before Dr. Loomis loft for New York I Interviewed him , lie said : "I was skeptical at llrst , but now consider the lymph the greatest medical discovery of modern if not of nil times. I saw , yesterday , In Dr. Von Bcrgtnnnn's private wards , un Englishman cured of nine years of lupus with sixteen Injections of less than one-eighth of n drop. The lymph , diluted , cured him of what was considered an absolutely fatal disease. All uround mo were cases of wonderful cures. Prof. Von Loyden , the great Internal medico , would use lymph on his own child If the occasion should necessitate It. " lie noticed nn improvement In advanced cases of lung tuberculosis and advised the use of the lymph. Dr. Loomis snld that every drop of the flu id was worth at least $100 ! , as a diluted drop will furnish ovcrono hundred and thirty in jections of average strength and any reputable - blo American physician can got $100 for each injection , as a phial contains about ninety drops. Its present actual commercial value is $ rS,03 ( ) . The doctor said a drop was worth three times moro than a fine diamond of the same size. _ _ Assisted a Murderer to I''scnpo. PARIS , Doc. 13.
