they have not done so Is considered

TiiTliines in cases of this Kind to promise to

.A4 General Miles has given his ultimatum.
. Just what it is , that gentleman
will not divulge. It Is said , however , to.bo ns
considerate as co.'ld bo expected under tha
circumstances. This fact was attested by the
pleased cxpiossion which mantled the fea
tures ol the Indians ns they left the

is dtnieiilt , however , for people bete to bc-

now looked for should bo exempt from the re
strictions placed upon Big Foot cannot bo un
derstood. It is hold by some that Cicueial
Miles will not divulge the conditions ho In
tends to insist upon until the hostiles shall
linvo come Into the agency. Thcio Is
little ground , however , upon which to base
this belief. If the Indians should refuse to
deliver up their arms hcio the refusal would
Yo attended uIth much greater loss gf life
nnd property than could otherwise bo
experienced Such a design would lend to the
selection of lhu agency as iho bait lo giound
\Vhilo more troops cauld in this way bo

ineot them about five miles from this
place , but at last accounts had uot
come up with them. Thu distance which the
hostiles are expected to travel to reach the
agency Is not moro than fourteen miles , n
distance which they could easllj have trav
el-bed before nightfall had they been in
the humor so to do. As soon ns the
Indians leivo , the commands elsewhere
spoken of iu those dispatches will form In a
crescent ind move simultaneously fiom

dictate. Should the Indians continue
j < u this direction and show a pur
pose to buuendor , the troops will
not attack them They will , however ,
attack any ciidcnvoilng to make their escape
or pursue any that may succeed In getting
thiough iho lines Every measure is being

course of a conversation on Thursday with
several members of the right the chancellor
appealed lo their scntlincut of fidelity to

in favor of the ugilcnltural Interests
of the country Iu oilier pending government
inossngcsi In loturn for their acquiescence
in locnl reforms. Ho warned them tint per
sistent opposition would create serious dial-
cullies for the monarchy. After tbo Intel-
view several pipers predicted that a com
promise would bo effected which would avert
a dissolution of the lundtig. Nothing semi-
ofllclal or definite , however , is
known legaidlug the matter. Heir
Miguel , the minister of finance ,
was privately nslol his opinion of the
chances of nn agreement being nriivcd nt ,
but ho declined to say mote than that the
dissolution was Improbable
A number of members of the old cartel
party recently held a moollug to arrange for
the formation of a Bismarck gioup In the
rclchslag and landlag. The cartels
sent a communication to Friedrleho
mho asking tbo formal sanction of
Prince Bismarck for the movement. To this
the prince sent n verbil reply through a con
servative member of the reichstag to the
effect that ho would not prevent member
from following his know n policy or fiom claim
ing the authority of his name so long ns they
upheld his opinions. This qualified sanction
of the carteler's movement Is iiuerpietcd ns
meaning- that the pilnco will not
nt present seek publicly to lead the
pnrtj- , although he Is willing to direct their
parliamentary operations , 'llio Volk Xeitung ,
Frclslnnnlgo Zeitung and liberal organs gen
erally see In the conservatives' nivoptinco of
Bismirck's ' leadership the certainty of an
early dissolution of parliament.
Under the influencoof unfavorable opinions
from Prof. Virchovv and oilier prom
inent pbjslclaus icgardlnir the ICoch
remedy the government has coino
to a pause over the proposed
bill making the lymph the propelj' of thcr
state. Minister von dossier has postponed
tna Introduction of the bill , and this leads to
slder the arrangement made with Ifoch. The
Klein Journal afllrms that It is doubtful if
the ministry will now adhere to the agree
ment. The ICoch circle , on the other hand ,
states that the relations between Koch and
Minister von Gosslor are unchanged and that
the Introduction of the bill is delayed because
cause the apparatus for state production
of the lymph is still incomplete. Prof
Koch found necessary Ibis week some hun
dred additional breeding chambers for tbo
fnctcria , the preparing of which , including
tlio growth of tbo facllla. takes much time ,
prolonged watching and constant testing before -
fore Prof. Koch or his - assistants
will pronounce the lymph relia
ble. The reports received from the
Gorman hospitals uro favorabo to
the remedy. Dr. Konigehafer of Stuttgart
has applied the lymnh with success in the
treatment of diseases of the eye lids and
cornea. Piof. Zlcmsscn of Munich declares
that by the use of the lymph ho has effected
the complete cuio of three patients In the
early stages of phthisis , and thirty patients
suffering from phthisis Iu tlio hospitals who
are undergoing the- Koch treatment
are reported to bo progressing favor-
ably. On tho' other hand Dr. Schroettor
of Vienna declared that thcro was no im
provement in the cases of tuberculosis of the
larynx which were being treated there by
tlio ICoch method und that the results of [
such treatment iu cases of phthisis * were !
very doubtful. Prof. Crocg of Belgium I
denies that thcro Is any curative action In II I
the Koch " "remedy. Ho asserts that
ho has seen an intense reaction i
after injections of the Ivmph In i
the case of patients suffering from i
phthisis and n similar reaction in the case of f
others suffering from pleurisy who wuro )
without trace of tuberculoses affection. But t
notwithstanding these hostile criticisms the i
coniidenco of the medical profession in the
cfllcacy of tlio ICoch treatment is unabated.
Tbo Koch institute , which the government is
now erecting , will Consist of nn Immense
Horary with a cllnlo having 150 beds.
IgCourt talks turn upon the emperor's ro-
roarks to high dlgnatirlos of the court con
cerning Bismarkr The emperor said : "It is
desirable that ho ho made to understand that
his tlmo for politics has passed. Her ought
not to attempt to pluy any role , especially
that of opposition. Everybody knowing
tiini immediately can sco that ho docs not
comprehend the needs of our time. " The
emperor's words referred directly to the en
couragement being given by Bismarck
to the conservative opposition. The
latest Interview accorded to Bis
marck , which wns given to Journalist Alnx
Bower , exhibits him us ubsorbed In tno 011-
Jojirent of domestic life. On the subject of
Trance , Bismarck's ' most Incisive utterance
was as follows : "It Is impossible to exter
minate tbo French. Germany will never
wage a merely prophlnctlo war. Whatever
enemy of ours gets the best powder first will
glvo the bignal for attack. As to iho notion
that after the next war eternal piweo will
reign In Europe , I cannot think it. "
