General ltuger' estimate represents '200 on the Cheyenne river anil 3(H) on the Standing Rock, reservation -who would have leeu liable to leave before the death of ittinr Ball, making In all 70 men. All possible weans have been exhausted to retain ami restrain the friendly Indians now on reservation. The sixteen thousand tioi who have been restrained and professed loyalty should have positive assurances with the least possible delay that the government will perforin and fullill its treaty obligations. No information has been received at the War Department iu regard to the reported tight In which two olhrers and fifty men are said to have been killed. The report is discredited at the department. White Buffalo Man's Advice. Pierre, 8. D., Dec. 17. White Buffalo Man, son of Sitting Bull, who lives on Bad river west of here, came in town to-day. He says the billing of Sitting Bull is right, and that the Bad river Indians aro all glad, but White Buffalo Man says a messenger from gittins Bull's camp will no doubt visit the Bad Lands hostiies to-day, and when they hear of fcittinjr Bull's death they will kill every white man they see. IJe says the government must now capture and disarm them, or great trouble will follow. Suddenly Summoned to the Front. Ciieyexxe, Wyo., Dec 17.

LIST OF CASUALTIES.

Names of the Killed and Injured In the Battle with Sitting null's Followers. Standing Rock Agency, S. D., Deb. 17. Following are the actual details of the fight in -which Sitting Bull was killed: The police under Bull Head, lieutenant of police, and Shavo Head, first sergeant, went into camp near Sitting Ball's village on the night of the 14th, and the next morning went into Ball's camp and made the arrest. Sitting Bull expressed his willingness to go with them, hut wanted to make preparations for the ride, and ordered his horse to be gotten ready. While Ball Head and Shave Head were in the shack where the old chief was getting ready, two bucks, enveloped in blankets, entered the shack, and, throwing off their blankets, opened fire on the police. Sitting Ball's wife had gone oat and set np a howl, which seems to have been the signal for the assault, in the tight which followed Bed Tomahawk killed Sitting UnlL Then more of Sitting Bull's followers were killed. Seven police were killed, and Ball Head And Shave Head were desperately wounded. The police were now surrounded, bat at this juncture Captain Frechet with his Gatliug gun and a ilotchkiss reached the scene and attacked the Indians, who, after an hour and a half of hot skirmishing, took to flightand disappeared in the timber. The camp, with the dead and wounded, was taken at once. Occasional shots were exchanged by the troops aud ambushed hostiles during the day. The officers and men under the gallant Frechet, who is a man of experience and unquestioned, bravery, acted with courage and good judgment. The hostiles have gone np the Grand river, and will undoubtedly make their way to the camps at Pino Ridge. It is considered that the trouble is now ended, 60 far as Standing Bock agency is concerned, and that there is no canse for fear that settlerswill be disturbed in this section. The casualties were as follows: Police Killed: Little Eagle, Afraid-of-Soldiers, Hawk Man, Broken Arm and Shave Head. BatHy wounded: Bull Head, Alex. Middle, wounded in the leg. Hostiles Killed: Sitting Bull. Crow Foot, Sitting Bull's son. Brave Thunder and his son, Catch-the-Bean Black Bear, Little Assinaboine, Spotted Horn Bull. There were no casualties among Captain Frerhet's men. One Bull is about the only leader left of Sitting Bull's band. Nothing has been beard of him as yet, but if he is alive and among the hostiles the" chances are that he will pull the scattered braves together and make a stand with the idea of revenging hi dead chief and friends by killing a few soldiers. Bull Head and Shave Head were carried into Fort Yates, where Shave Head breathed his last. It is thought that Bull Head will recover. . Burial of the Victims. Fort Yates Dec. 17. The funerals of the five Indian policemen who gave up their lives so heroically Monday morning, took place at the agency this afternoon. The full military force of the fort was . on hand aud a regular military funeral was held. It was very impressive. Four were buried in the Catholic Cemetery, and the fifth. Little Eagle, being a Protestant, will be interred on Grand river. Sitting Hull's body was laid away in the post graveyard to-day with few honors. HOSTILES HEMMED IN. Warlike Reports Drought from Daly's Ranch by a Courier Iteds to Oe Annihilated. RAriD City. S. D., Dec 17. A courier who arrived from Dalj's ranch this morning brought the ' following dispatch: 'Things have about reached a crisis here. Indians are seen in all directions, and we are prepared for an engagement any moment. Pickets have been thrown out and report seeing a number of Indians. Scouts reported that we would be attacked this morning, and that the signal would bo setting tire to the grass. The grass has been set on tire and a number of ranches are seen burning. They may not reach our camp till daylight to morrow morning. A rancher reports several whito men killed on the Cheyenne river. At daylight a government courier came into camp with a dispatch from General Brooke, the purport of which was that wo should cover tlio Deadwood and Chamberlain road to tho east of the Cheyenne. This will prevent the escape of any hostiles. to the north. The Seventh Regiment of cavalry will be sent against the Indians to-morrow. An attack is to be made on the Indians as boon as possible, as a decisive move is imperative, aud it is probable that all the hostiles will be annihilated. A bquaw-man reports one hnndied hostiles moving toward our camp. We are 125 strong, but have a good positiou and can shell them with the llotchkiss mountain guns, which are very destructive. We are informed that we will have reinforcements thin evening of four more troops, which will make the command S50 strong." It is understood that General Carr will leave Rapid City to-day, with four more troops, which will be a double reinforcement. Why Southern TJtes Are Restless. Dcraxgo, Col., Dec. 17. No f nrther news has been received to-day of hostile demontitrations by the Southern Utes. The party of railroad surveyors, who were ordered off the reservation Sunday by the Indians, are still in Durango. The annual annuity goods are issued to-day at Ignacio, and it is not known what effect it will have on the Indians. The main trouble is, the Utes say, "Government heap big liar," meaning the government has failed toratify the agreement made two years ago for their removal to Utah. They have become very restless waiting for the government to act, and this is supposed to be one of the causes of their present ugliness. Claims to lie the Victim of a Conspiracy. Seattle. Wash., Dec 17. Charles tt. Hammond, formerly proprietor of the notorious fcieveland-street house in Ixmden, was convicted In the Superior Court to-day of crand larceny and is now in jail. Recent developments in the cae indicate that Hammond U a victim of a conspiracy, of which Alexander Todhunter is at the head. Todhunter l supposed to be an English detective.and failing to tret Hammond on British oil, worked up this case acalnst him, ouarglng him with stealing a sealskin sacque from a woman whom Todhunter induced to visit Hammond's suloon. llau&iond claims that there is $250,000 at his difposal in the Bank of California and other hank. It is said to have been placed there by wealthy Englishmen as hush money. Hamnond has leeu in Seattle more than a year and has afottnlant means. He Bars person ki London are trying to prevent his return, and that ui order to do so Todhunter, as their ttel, trumped up thJs charge against him. Arrest of an Alleged Counterfeiter. St. Loi;i., Dec. 17. James Edward, a supposed counterfeiter, was arrested to-day by the police at his room on North Twentv-wcond stn-et, near tlorgan. The dies and tools of a counterfeiter ere found in the room and were confiscated by the o Hirers.

PARNELL ISSUES AN APPEAL

Men of the Hillsides Asked to Stand by llim in His Great Struggle. Confined to His Room with Inflamed EjeiAdvent of Insnppressible United Ireland Exciting Meeting at Cork Yesterday. PAR3ELL ISSUES AN APPEAL. Men of the UllUldes Asked to Stand by Him Extent of Ills Injuries. Dublin, Dec. 17. Mr. Parnell has issued a strong appeal to the hillside men, calling on them cot to submit to English dictation. In this he says: . "Will you, countrymen of G rattan, volunteers of O'Connell, Davis and Wolf Tone, of tho gallant Father Murphy who fought and bled for the independence of our country will you, inspired by memories of tho past, abandon your chief? Will you give . him up to the Saxon wolves that are howling for his destruction! Or will you rally around him as your fathers did ' around tho men of '93. and shout with a thousand voices: 'No surrender; hurrah for Parnell, the leader of the independent Irish party. Down with a faction that would make the Irish people the servants of a foreign power!' Gather, men of the hillsides, at Johnswell on Sunday, around your chief, and hurl defiance at his enemies and the enemies, of your race." Vhongh Mr. Parnell suffered intense pain from the effects of the lime that was thrown in his eyes at Castle Corner yesterday,. he was able, at midnight last night, to address from a window ot the Victoria Hotel at Kilkenny a large crowd that had gathered about the hotel when tbe misfortune that had befallen him became generally known. During tbe address his face was covered with bandages. He detailed the events of the day, and the crowd became exasperated at the manner in which he had been treated, and many threats of vengeance were made. This morning Mr. Parnell's breakfast was served to him in bed. The snrgeon has ordered that Mr. Parnell keep his eyes closed and that hotwater foments be constantly applied to them. This afternoon it was announced that the surgeon said that the injury to Mr. Parnell's eyes may result in serious consequences, lie has given orders that for the present his patient shall remain indoors. Mr. Parnell's eyes became inilamed late in the day, and he is contined in a darkened room. Sir John Pope Ilennessy has expressed to the committee having the campaign of his opponent. Mr. Vincent Scully, in charge, his regret lor the attack made upon Mr. Parnell at Castle Coiner yesterday, when the lime was thrown in his face. Mr. Parnell was interviewed to-day with reference to the charges that have been mad in regard to the fund of 40,000 that was, aised several years ago for bis benefit. Mr. Darnell said that he would have preferred to remain silent on this subject, but the qnestion having been raised it was not improper that the public should learn the truth. He said: "It is absolutely false that I spent the money on personal matters in England. I spent It among the workmen of Wicklow, giving 200 men employment in mines and quarries. This work is likely to be permanent, for only to-day 1 have heard that the search for tbe continuation of a great lode of magnetic iron, which was worked 200 yeare ago, has proved successful. The lode is proving to be of the highest quality and will insure active competition in England and Scotland. I hope eventually to smelt it at home. I also hope, when I have the power, to connect by railway the Kilkenny coal-fields with the iron mine in the west of County Wicklow, which can be largely developed. In this, way 1 will be able to open np important industries, which will give employment to a large cumber of men at increased wages.' Mr. Parnell also referred to tho possible development of coal and iron fields, in Roscommon, Tyrone and Antrim, which would, give Ireland a great industrial f ntnre. Mr. Redmond and other fadherents of Mr. Parnell addressed an impromptu meeting to-night from the windows of Mr. Parnell's hotel. Messrs. Tanner, Deazy; Kenny and Davitt spoke at a meeting in Freshford today. Davitt described the fight at liallinakill yesterday, and declared that Parnell caused it by bringing his vehicle too near the llealyite meeting.. Tanner declared that the Parnellites had spit in the faces of priests who were in the crowd. CANNOT BE-SUPPRESSED. Antl-Parnelllte Edition of United Ireland Appears Under a New Name. Dublin. Dec. 17. Notwithstanding the injunction issued, against Suppressed United Ireland that paper again appeared. The words "United Ireland," however, do not appear on tbe top of the page. The word "Suppressed" only appears there. Hereafter the paper will be entitled In suppressive United Ireland. The prospectus of the Irish National Press was also issued. It states that the object of the publishers is to issue a new Dublin daily paper that will represent the National interests, which, it says, are jeopardized by the want of an organ giving independent expression to tho political convictions of the Irish people. The capital of the paper is divided into 12,000 shares of 5, and the , directors are William O'Brien, chairman and thief editor. Justin McCarthy and Messrs. Sexton, Murphy, Timothy Mealy, Dickson and Barry. Tho Cork city and county convention assembled there to-day. The hall in which th convention was held was crowded with delegates and spectators. The name of Mr. Parnell was greeted with cheers by the delegates, but the crowd groaned. A number of policemen guarded the entrance to the ball. The high sheriff of Cork presided. The chairman read a telegram to Patrick Egan. civing instructions for the trausfer of his shares of United Ireland to Mr. McCarthy. Mr. McCarthy, in an address, declared that if the Irish party wanted authority or sanction for what they bad done the magnilicent gathering there assembled gave it to them. After such a meeting they would be entitled to speak in tho name of the Irish people, and they would have a still better right so to speak after tho election in Kilkenny. Many priests and prominent citizens were present at the Cork meeting. Resolutions were passed expressing approval of Mr. McCarthy's course and Patrick E pan's action in telegraphing instructions for the transfer of his United Ireland shares to Mr. McCarthy. Mr. Sexton declared that Mr. O'Brien was returning from America with a broken heart, and that Mr. Parnell would be satisfied with nothing short of tho most abject submission. A crowd of Parnell men who had gathered outside hooted at and tried to attack those who had attended the meeting as ihoy were leaving the hall, but the police drove them back. The Parnell section of the National League held a meeting here yesterday. The announcement was made that tbe receipts for the last two weeks amounted to 1,171, including a subscription of from Mr. Scully, the Parneliite candidate for Parliament in North Kilkenny. All tho speakers at the meeting denounced the Gladstonian partv. Father O'Connor,, president of the Cork Gaelic Association, write to the anti-Par nell committee: "If nothing else showed the hypocrisy of the anti-l'arnell agitation Mr. Healy's antics wonld be sufficient, for they betray both the man and the cause be champions. lhe question of the Irish leadership is not to be decided in a hole-in the-corner meeting in the Cork assembly rooms. If tbe people's voice is in sympathy with snch a meeting, hold it publicly. If otherwise, why oppose itf The officials of Limerick, by a vote of 10 to , have passed a resolution of contidence in the McCarthyites. Most Ifev. John Mc Carthy, 1). D. Bishop of Cloyne.wbose dio cese includes a great portion of Cork county, has issued an episcopal letter, in which he condemns Mr. Parnell. He do clares that he is seltisb, uugrateful and unpatriotic. The letter states that the Bishop has made arrangements to with draw the National League branches in his dioceso from tbo control ot the executive which is supporting Mr. Parnell. Thrt local branch of the National League at Knocklong, Connty Limerick, yesterday voted in favor of supporting Mr. ParnelL

Father Murphy presided. Father Barry, a parish priest of Tfathcormack, County Cork, and a prominent Nationalist in Mr. O'Brien's constituency, has come out on Parnell's side. In a published interview Mr. Maurice Healy is represented as saying that assurance can be civen to the public that no settlement of tbe political crisis is possible by' arbitration. The contest, he said, would be fought to the bitter end. Liberal Ileuuion Impossible. London, Deo. 17. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, In a remarkable speech at a private Unionist caucus. In Birmingham, to-night, said that -within the past week certain former friends in the Gladstonian party had reopened negotiations on the ground that as Mr. Parnell had rendered home rule impossible, a reunion of the Liberals mluht be effected. lie had replied that a such a step was impossible, because Mr. Gladstone still fondly clung to the desire of his old acre, and retained home rule in the forefront ol his programme. Mr. Chamberlain doubted, anyhow, that reunion would ev r be possible with the men forming the Gladstonian majority. But recent events had opened the eyes of the moderate Gladstonians. who zuight co-operate with the Unionists and Conservatives in the formation of a truly national party of progress, in the truest sense of tho word. Mr. Labouchere, in a speech at Ftratford tonight, said that London Tories paid Mr. Parnell's election expenses in 1880. He added that if this statement was challenged he would produce the proof. Tho Daily News says It trusts that Mr. Dil)on will use his influence to prevent a repetition of the criminal folly of the liine-thrwtog incident. The best way, the paper continues, to destroy Mr. Parnell's power is to let him rave in peace. The News in an editorial says: "It U evident that Mr. Balfour ordered the police not to arrest Mr. IJarrison. Should Dillon and O'Brien be arrested It will reduce to an utter &hurdlty and revolting fiction the theory that law is impartially administered in Ireland." 4 . Violence Will Ruin the Cause.

New York, Dec. 17. Messrs. Dillon and O'Con nor, after seeing Mr. Sullivan off to-day, met at the Hoffman House and bad a conference. At its close the following cablegram was sent to Justin McCarthy, M. P.: a. Have learned with the deepest pain of tho in jury to Mr. Parnell yesterday. The language and acts or violence on totn smes win rum tne Irish cause in the eyes of Americans, and till the Irish people here with despair. Save the cause. Use influence with our friends, and abstain from all personal insults and violence, n matter how great the provocation, and appeai to Mr. Parnell's supporters to abstain froin attacking meetings. Mr. O'Connor thought that the Trish cane had grone backwards wonderfully within tbe past few weeks, and said that if Mr. Parnell kept ou in his present stand, even if the election was lost at Kilkeuny, the cause would be irretrievably ruined. Effect of the Fight in America. Bpeciai to the Indianapolis Journal. Peru, Ind., Dec. 17. The trustees of the fund of money subscribed and collected some weeks ago in this city, amounting to a large sum, for the benefit of the cause of home rule in Ireland; have publicly notified all donors that the money will be returned to them at their request.

DELUGE OF SNOW AND BAIN

Pittsburg Cat Off irom tho World bj a Heavy Fall of the Beautiful. Nearly Two Feet Deep in Western Fennsylva nil New York and All the Central Coast Line Visited by a Lig Storm. Pittsburg, Pa., Deo. 17. -This city has suffered roost severely from a storm that has prnyailed since yesterday. The heavy snow of last night blockaded street-car lines and railroads, and to-night the situation is far worse. Telegraph and telephone wires were useless, and this afternoon's papers were a dreary waste, with not one word of news, from which this city was for the time beinz completely shut off. Tho monetary damage has been very great, all brances of business, especially the railroads and street-car lines, which have practically suspended, paralyzing business and causing a stoppage of operations in the Oil and Stock exchanges. The tolegraph, telephone and electric-light wires were down on almost every street, but so far the only damago resulting has been three horses killed, two drivers knocked unconscious from their seats, aud a street-car tilled with frightened passenger; set ablaze in a moment. Reports from the country districts show even greater damage owing to a lack of facilities for transportation. At. Bedford, Pa., two feet of snow is reported, with & complete blockade of the lumber business along the Blue and Laurel Ridge mountains. West Virginia and eastern Ohio have su tiered greatly, and there, as here, the situation is growing worse. Late this afternoon the thermometar ran up to 45, and the snow fall changed to drizzling ram. This redoubled the fears of a sudden flood, which was the greatest calamity they feared. At C o'clock, however, the rain again changed to a heavy, wet snow, which is still falling at 11 o'clock, and outside of a few weak house roofs crushed in by the weight no extensive damage is reported. This is by far the heaviest snow experienced here for five years, and present indications are that even this record will be completely eclipsed. The average fall is rapidly Hearing the two-foot line. Apologies have just been sent out by postoltiee and railroad departments to the effect that all mail will be several hours late. Electric-light wires have fallen on other lines and burned out police switch-boards ana telephones. As a result outlying police districts are isolated, and a system of messenger service is kept up. Millions of tous of coal are lying in tho back-water from the dam, and should a rapid thaw ensue the greatest damage will be along the rivers. At this hour the thermometer registers two degrees above freezing. Heavy Storm Along the Coast. New York, Dec. 17.

The slorm seriously interfered with river and harbor business. Several canal and smaller boats were sunk at piers in both the North and Kast rivers, and the high tide and the gale combined to niakeit ditttcult for the many ferry-boats to run into their slips safely. Many of the outgoing passenger steamers which were to have sailed to day are at anohor iu the lower har- ; bor. Telegraphic communication with the South and West is very seriously interfered with. A portion of the roof of Daly's Theater was blown off this afternoon. One man was severely injured. One of the iron smoke-staeks on the postotlice building, connecting with the boiler chimney, was blown down this afternoon, and went crashing through the glass ceiling over the maiilng-roomt injuring quite severely John J.
