PINK Rinnr AOKKCV , S. D. ( via Rush-
vllle , Neb , ) , Jan. 17. [ Special Telegram to
Tun HUB. ] The council between the friendly
and the hostile Indians has tended to still
the anxiety of many whlto people and assure
the Indians that tholr fear ot being mas
sacred by the soldiers was with
out foundation , Everybody today seems
to feel that the trouble 1ms been
brought to n do-so , Up to noon today
i-y-ono guns bad been turned In by tbo
hostlles. Moro weapons are expected to
morrow.
Today nn order was Issued directing the
Seventh Infantry , Colonel Jlcrrlam , which
has been serving on Cherry crock nnd the
lower Choycnno river near Standing Kock
agency , to return to Its post at
Fort Logan , Denver. Rodney's battery ,
which bos nlso been serving in the
snmo vicinity , has been ordered
back to Fort Rllcy. Colonel Sumncr's
command , comprising the Eighth cavalry and
Third Infantry , has been ordered to return to
Fort Mcado. It has nlso been decided that
the Sixth cavalry , formerly under General
Carr , comprising nine troops of about llvo
hundred , will hereafter bo located In the de
partment of the Platte , with headquarters at
Fort Niobrura. T'IO cavalry force at
Fort Robinson will also bo Increased
nnd it is expected thnt the now
/"order of nffulrs will tend to tbo rehabilitation
A of Fort McKinno.v , at winch there ore now
* only twotroonsol the Mlnth cavalry under
x. Colonel Honry. This strengthening of the
i1 * cavalry nlong the reservation Is intended ns n
safeguard and to revive the confidence of the
people who hnvo been lonp in danger of the
Indian outbreaks.
The question Is now being discussed of al
lowing members of the First , Infantry under
Colonel Slmfter who feel so disposed to re
main In this department.
/ An old cliluf named ICnifo Scabbard died
last n I ght and wns burled today. IIo was
UJfl seventh Indian who has died In the hos
pital from injuries received in the Wounded
Knee fight.
Agent Pierce has Just received word from
the hostlln camp that all the horses and cattle -
tlo belonging to friendly Indians nnd others
vtill bo surrendered to tbolrsovcr.il owner * .
, At noon General Miles sent a mcssngo to
tbo b-jstllo camp , asking for u conference
( fficil with the principal chiefs. There was
TO Immediate response. Among the chiefs
ivcro Two Strike , Eagle Pipe , Crow Dog ,
Big Turkey , Black Robe , Kicking Hoar , Iron
] ? oOt and Mnn-Ralsed-Abovo. The council
lusted for nearly half nn hour. The chiefs
were Brulos. and when the subject of return
ing to their agency at Rosebud was. broached ,
they said they wore In favor of returning If n
military man should bo placed over
them as ngent. Captain Leo of the
Ninth Infantry , who was recommended by
General Milrs us agent for tlio agency lu.
question , was present. IIo stated that ho did
not know that the recommendation of Gen
eral Miles had been favorably acted upon by
tbo interior department. In fact , bo had
heard that the department hud endorsed
Genet nl Miles' recommendation regarding
military agents only so far as Pine Kldgc
wa concerned. Ho further stated t lint , if ho
was not supported as Captain Picreowasnt
tins agency , ho would not accept the position.
The Indians present expressed the hope that
ho would bo allowed to take hold of
the agency in question. After a little moro
parleying , Big Road stood up nnd solemnly
nnd dramatically proclaimed himself as In
favor of pence. At the ! > nine titno ho asked
those who wished to Join him In restoring
peace nnd working for the prosperity of their
people to raise their right hand toward
licavcn. Immediately every right hand In
the gathering was raised on high and with a
moral shaking of hands the conference
line * o a close.
Since the dispatches were sent out this
morning it has uecn decided dollnltely that
the Sixth cavalry , which cnmehoiofromF.ort
---Wlngnte , Indian Territory , will hereafter bo
jf divided between Forts Nlobrara In Nebraska !
f nnd McKinney In Wyoming , General Cnrr's '
headquarters bolug established at tbo former
place.
Bomo trouble Is expected , now that the war
seems to hnvo almost been brought to n close ,
from the fact that the interior department
proposes to send out nn agent to escort a
delegation of Indian chiefs to Washington.
The chiefs bavo asked permission to set their
case before the great father. The request
has been favored by General Miles.
It was expected that the Indians on
their trip would bo accompanied by
. Jiulltnry oflicors who have been associated
with them during this trouble. People hero
look on the attempt to keep the military people -
plo nt homo as a design on the part of the in
terior people to suppress a full and candid re
cital of the causes which , the Indians bold ,
have led to all this trouble , shedding of blood
and great expenditure of money.
There nro no lights In the hostile camp to-
ulght. Everything Is quiet. The Indians
seoni to bo In favor of redeeming the pledges
they gave to General Miles ,
It has been decided thnt the head
quarters of tbo Ninth cavnlry will bent
nt Fort Hoblnson and that troops A
D , F. ( } , I mid K of that rcplmont , will bo lo
cated nt thnt place. Troop II is now located
ntFort Ducbcsno ; troop I at Wusbaklo nud
troop 0 is enrouto , nmong tbo Lcavenwortlu

BKHI.IX , Jnn. 17. Prof. Koch will return
to Berlin In March , after ho makes a tour of
Italy nnd Egypt. Upon his return the Koch
institute will bo formally opened. Yesterday
was tbo twenty-fifth anniversary of his re
ceiving his diploma ns a doctor , nnd ho was
the rcclptont of , n largo number of congV.itu-
latory letters anil messages , IIo has
probably reached the climax of his career.
There is distinct disappointment over
the defective character * of his statement
regarding the composition of the lymph , es
pecially to the studied reticence concerning
some parts of the process of production. Ex
ports In analysis say thnt bis declaration thnt
the remedy Is a glycerine extract "aus den
rclncculturcn dcr tuberkel raclllen" reveals
nothing , while the description of the lymph
which follows , which says the lymph con
tains "clno gewlsso mcngo von mineral salzcn
fnrbcndo substimzon und nndoro unbcknnnto
oxtractivstoffo" seems purposely evasive and
obscuro.
The weight of Gorman , Austrian and
English : medical opinion supports tbo belief
In tbo healing virtues of the lymph.
Prof. "Vlrschow Is understood to have mod
ified his unfavorable view.
Prof. Fraenckel has exhibited before the
Berlin medical society six cases of pulmonlo
tuberculosis nnd lupus , all of which nro dis
tinctly progressing towards a cure. Ho also
reports the coses of llf ty-two patients taken
at the first stages of the disease , most of
whom nro recovering. Prof. Frnonckel Is
averse to treating patients in advanced stages
of diseases.
Prof. Soimenburg reports favorably on the
cases of several patients in the Mo.-iblt hos
pital who were suffering with advanced
phthisis.
Dr. Roscnthal of the Berlin Dermatology
Soclalo upholds the supreme vnluo of the
lympth in cases of lupus , A debate in this
society elicited the opinion from doctors who
favor j the use of lymph in feprosy. Doctors
In Stuttgart report its successful use in
scrofulous diseases.
Advices from Vienna state that the nhy-
sicians there pralso Prof. Koch's genius as an
observer. They nre surprised at the sim
plicity of tbo discovery.
French doctors who nro hostile to the rem
edy ' lay stress on Prof. VIrchow's suggestion
thnt the injection of lluld Is apt to spread the
tuborculo.
Dr. Peters reports that In twenty-one
post-mortem examinations ho had found tbnt
the lympb , Instead of being benoUelal , bad led
to nn extensive Increase of tuberculous de
posits. Evidence from every quarter , however -
over , when compared , demonstrates that
though thu remedy has failed in .many oases
It has undoubtedly an effective ameliorating
effect in the eariy phthisis tubcrculos of the
larynx and lupsus.
Leading Russian doctors have experi
mented with the lymph In leprosy and report
n characteristic reaction.
The commutes of the relchstag on the sugar
bill , after rejecting the proposal to rnlso thp
consumption tax to 10 marks per 10D kilo
grams instead of 20 , as proposed by the gov
ernment , today voted nn export bounty of 1
mark nnd CO pfennigs for nn unlimited tlmo.
Tno government has declared that It will not
accept tbo changes. .
Yesterday's majority against the abolition
of grain duties does not alter tha govern
ment's resolution to modify Its extreme pro
tection policy , which it has hitherto followed.
Chancellor Von Caprlvi has the assurance
of the center party Uiat although continuing
conservative as regards the abolition of
duties , they will support the treaty with
Austria reducing the tariff on corn to 3 marks
and 50 pfennigs.
The offlclal dinner given by Ilerr Miguel ,
minister of flnnnco , was rendered notable by
the free utterances of the emperor concernIng -
Ing bimetallism. Germany , bo said , could
not accept n double standard currency. The
question had been definitely settled in fuvor
of a gold standard. Tbo trading nations of
the world , ho declared , would ore long agree
upon tuo universal adoption of gold ,
Dr. Windtborst is suffering from a chill.
Masses wore celebrated In most of the
churches today. Cm-mania announces that
donations to the church of St. Mary's , to bo

honor the champion of tbo Catholics , promlso
to bo sufllclout to complete the building. The
press of all parties concur In tholr opinion of
the worthiness of the Centrist leader.
The committee of the Dimtschor Voreln
which recently attended the engineer's '
conference In America , waited upon
American Minister Phelps today and
said that , desiring to glvo some tangible sign
of their gratitude for tlio pleasant time they
had In tha United States , they wished the
minister to present for thorn three silver
goblets to Messrs. Klrohoff , Haymond nnd
Snlmm , upon whom chlolly developed tlio

An American named Nocton , hailing from

Snow has again fallen In East Prussia ,
South Qormany aud Austria-Hungary. The
sevoreness of the frost and the wldenoss of
fctho area affected nro greater than over before -
fore chronicled. Uailroad traftlo Is greatly
delayed. Over ono thousand men are em
ployed clearing the streets of Ber
lin. The tramway companies In Vienna
employ -1,000 men to clear their tracks ,
Tbo Austrian railways are partly blocked.
Largo stocks of provisions are snowbound
nnd the prices of food have consequently ad
vanced. Koports from Vienna say that rail
road communication with Tomosvar , la Hun
gary , bos been stopped owing to the great
depth ot the snow to the northward
of that place. Tbo ports of Lubock and
Hostock are again closed by the lea and Kiel
Is shut la by drift ice. At Hamburg tbo cold
has become moro intense and tbo river Is full
of drift Ice , which Is greatly increasing the
difficulty of navigation. Bromerhaveu Is in a
fair way. Their Is much drift ice thuro , but
It presents no obstacle to navigation.
The Gorman consul at Caaea , Crete , has

Trie . BiiE.J- Humors nro alloat of a somewhat
forcible : remonstrance having lieen addressed
by Blnlno to Salisbury on nccquntof oroccod-
ngs taken in the supreme court , but nothing
scotns to bo known about It In ofllclnl circles.
If such n dispatch has been received , Salis
bury is keeping It to himself until Tuesday
next , when there will bo a cabinet meeting
to nrrnngo a course of business for parlia
ment. The governor Is lu a po'iUlon , I under
stand , to dlsposo quickly of any charge
brought ngalnst it of a desire to steal a
march upon tbo United States in tbo Bchriug
sea negotiations or of troatinff the secretary
of state with discourtesy. These who are ac
quainted with the facts are conlldcnt
_ that when tbo people on both sides of the At-
'Inntlc near tbo truth they will see the British
ministry could not have acted otherwise than
It has done. It will bo dented altogether that
Salisbury originated or suggested an applica
tion to the supreme court. Proceedings wcro
taken on the responsibility of Canndn , the
ministry hero concurring and , not Imagining
for n momen1. that the United States govern
ment would plnco an offensive construction
upon them. It fa maintained ( hat the appeal
to tbo highest American courti for n settle
ment of the points of law Involved in lutor-
nutional disputes show the utmost confidence
In that court , nnd , therefore , cannot reason
ably bo regarded as nn art discourteous
towards tbo president or his. advisors. It is
also well known nero that the proceedings in
question wore originally suggested , months
ago , by an American lawyer of high stand
ing. Sidney Webster.
The ofllcinls hero are prepared to show tbnt
they have the greatest confidence In the Im
partiality and Independence1 of the supreme
court , The question will no doubt DC brought
before parliament as soon as ; the papers are
laid on tbo tnblo. *
I may say that among all parties thcra ap
pears to bo concessions of opinion tbnt , In
using every means of closing this contro
versy in nn amicable and speedy manner ,
Salisbury deserves general support. Thcra
will , therefore , bo no attack upon the minis
try from the opposition. It | s acknowledged
they have acted with perfect ! good faith nnd
could not have foreseen tbacn willingness to
submit their coso to the adjudtcatioa of a
purely American tribunal would bo regarded
as on insult by Blaino.

LINCOLNNob. . , Jan. 17. [ Special to Tun
I3r.n. I In all probability the two houses will
ncet In Joint con mention nextTuosilny to tnko
in tlio contest for the governorship nud other
executive onlcos. If Govonior lloyd refuses
r delays signing the concurrent resolution
Ixlng the time , the independents will un-
loubtedly go nhc.iil Jiut the anine. Their
peakor has n clear title to bo presiding oftl-
cer and they hnvo a majority In both hoinoi.
Everybody views the approaching ordeal
vltb ilread because of the enormous amount
of testimony to bo introduced. It rovers
many thousands of pages , nnd the mere rend-
ntrofltwlll consume tlmo variously esli
mited nt from twowcclts to two months.
Tbo icpubllcain nnd democrats honestly
bellovo Unit the title of the stnto officers is
assailed without good reason , and they lion-
sally fear the Independents will bo nctunted
by prejudice and partisanship instead of tlo-
elding the contest on Its merits. The opposl-
.Ion , therefore , will seek to delay the ilnnl
ssuo until they are satUllod of gutting a
square deal , and to that end they are now
llsposod to insist on the rending of all tlio
testimony.
Tlio Independents nro nlnrmed at the pros-
wet , because then ) is ccrtiin legislation that
: boy want eliacted , but they do not seem to
invo discovered aiiy way of evading the
rc.iding of nil the evidence if It bo Insisted
in. They urge n purpose of being fair In
learlng this contest , nnd nro ready to innkea
compromise ,
They would like to throw out that test- !
nonyhlchli Irrelevant or iimmitrrlul or
nerc reiteration , which would loivo out a
vast iinunint of Htuff. They nro willing , If It
can bo done legally , to let representatives of
.ho three parties mnko a ( hiding of fact from
: ho evidence and decide the contest on that
ilmllng.
Tbo independents realize that they hnvo
nado n mistake * , from a political standpoint ,
, n raising n , contest on the republlwin stnto
) ltlcers and driving the romiulinms In tbo
legislature to stand with the democrats. In-
tlmatlnns have been thrown out that the In
ependents would drop nil contests except
Lhat lor governor if that could bo brought to
i speedy issue. To throw out/ the vote of
Douglas county , or nny considerable part of
it , might bo fatal to the republican rontostccs
ns well as to the democratic governor , but If
the latter could bo unseated on the question
of eligibility with tlio result of resenting
General Tlinycr , thu Independents inlfht
listen to thnt kind of a deal , At least that Is
the opinion of shrewd politicians who hnvo
been sounding them.
The Independents do not want to bo tied
up for two months lu the contest. They do
want certain legislation , nnd thuy hellovo
General Thaycr would glvo their measures
favorable consideration ,
So fur ns can bo learned , the republicans
nro not disposed to .make any such deal.
Sura of the support of the democrats , they
only need six or seven independent votes to
protect their statn ofllccrs from an unfair
deal. The republicans bellovo thnt as tha
reading of the testimony progresses they can
giiln the necessary votes if the Independents
nro as fair ns they profess to bo.
Ou the other nand , the Independ
ents evidently nro considcilug- plans
to shorten tno contest. Senator Dy-
snrt tblliks It will bo settled next
Thursday. Senator Stearns thinks n result
will bo reached In six or eight days. Hepro-
sontntivo Slinulor is quoted ns saying unit
the hearing will not extend beyond two
weeks. As Senator Poynter puts it , "they
\\lllcoinothofarmeract by working sixteen
hours a ilny and going without dlnnor. "
Tub Independents nro undoubtedly consid
ering this kind of u plan : Knob side to huvo
so much time to present its case and so much
additional tlmo to mnko an argument , which
time will bo limited to a few days. If they
satisfy themselves tb.it this can bo clcno , ft
may bo predicted confidently that such will
bo their course.

Senators ClirUteffcraon nnd Swlt7ler

Poynter oojoctcd , elalnilnjc that the mutter
was now tfl him and bo wbhod time to con
sider. Under the rules tbo resolution went
over , after a motion to suspend the rules
failed to get th6 necessary two-thirds voto.
Senator Swit/lcr then put the substance of
the Collins resolution In the form of n motion ,
which is not subject to the rule of being put
over MII objection. Ho moved :
"Tlmt for tbo reawms set forlh lu the reso
lution of the senator from Gage that wo

Turner ( Ind. ) voted nye with tbo demo
crats and icpubllnuis , Thosecretnry reported
llio vote 11) ) to 111 , and the lieutenant voted
aye. Subsequently It was discovered that a
mistake bait been made In the fooling and the
motion had fourteen uyos without the chair's
voto.
In explaining his vote Senator Collins said
ho had been requested by the Independents
to introduce the resolution , but ho thought
tbcronccd bo no hnsto lu adopting it.
This action has no effect on the title or au
thority of ( lovernor Hoyd , but it is regarded
as a significant Indication tbnt the independ
ents have honest differences of opinion and
may act on their Individual judgment In some
matters on which the paity caucus bus un
dertaken to dictate.
Scnitor Collins savs lie wus asked by a
conference ot independents to offer the reso
lution , und they will vote for it when it comes
up for action.
Another Independent nnmos Dock , Collins ,
Dav , Hill , Taylor nnd Turner us these who
will support it.
The resolution Is slijnllleaut of another
thing : That tuo sonuto will push Its work
vigorously instcnd of delaying Important
measures until tbo contest shall have bocn
