Partlrnlars of the Fight at \T,mnM Knn CreeK?The Killed and Wounded. Omaha, Dec. 30.? The li** has the following from its staff correspondent on Wounded Knee creek. South Dakota. December 29, via Bush j rille, Neb.: The remaining four troops of the seventh cavalry arrived from Pine Ridge agency at 9 o'clock last night. At 8 o'clock | this morning Gen. Forsvthe issued orders to | have the 150 male Indians Mho had been pris ) oncrR called from their teepees, saying he I wanted to talk to them. Tiiev obeyed slowly | ami sullenly and ranged in a semi-circle in j front of the tent where Big foot, the chief, lay sick with the pneumonia. By twen j ties they were ordered to give tip their arms. The tir?t twenty went to their tents and came , back with only two gnns. This irritated Maj. | Whiteside, who wan superintending this part of the work. After a hasty consultation with Gen. Forsvthe he gave the order for the cavalrymen, who were all dismounted and formed in almost r. square al.<>nt twenty-five paces back, to close in. They did so and took a aland within twenty t feet of the Indians, now in their ccnter. A DEMONIAC Hl'SH. ^hen this was done a detachmcnt of bavalry men afoot was sent to search the tepees. About sixty guns were found, but while this work was going on the warriors held an incantation pow wow. The tepees having been gone through an order was given to search the warriors. All thon/ht of tronble was evidently wholly out of mind with the soldiers. A dozen of the war riors hail been searched when, like a flash, all of the rest of them jerked guns from under their blankets and began pouring bnlleta into the ranks of the soldiers, "who a few minntes before had moved up within almost gun length. These Indians, saying they bail no guns, I rushed on the soldiers with ' tomahawk in one hand and scalping knife in the other. Oh, it was a demoniac, a hellishly horrible rush. A HCNDBED SnOTS IS ONE VOLLEY. With Gen. Forsvthe and Maj. Whiteside I stood when the tiring started within touching | distance of the death-dealing devils. The on'v thi.ig th it saved all three of us from instant I death wus that the Indians had their backs turned to us when they began tiring. Their first volley wa-> almost as one man. to that they ' must have fired a hundred i hots before the sol | diers tired one. but. oh. how they were slaugh tered after their first volley. Some, however, succeeded in getting through the lines anil away | to the small hills to the southwest. The firing : lasted a half hour, and even as I write these I words I hear that Hotchkiss pouring shots into I lb# gulleys to the north where a few of the devils have taken refuge. The list oi killed and wounded soldiers so far as we can now ascer I tain is as follows: THE KILLED AND WOUNDED. Killed?Capt. Wallace, commander of K troop: Priva'e Cook, B troop.

About a dozen more are reported seen lying as if dead, with twenty-five or more woumti 1. Many of the wounded will die. The firing lasted half an hour. Capt. Wallace was tomahawked squarely in the forehead. Lieut. Kinzie received bat a slight wound in the cord of .he ankle. Aruiy Surgeons Capt. Hoff. Lieut. Kcnnaand Capt. Ewing are caring for the wounded. EXCITEMENT AT PINE BIDOE AOENCT. ClttcAiio, Dec. 30.?A special dispatch from Pine Bidge agency, received this morning, says: The news of tho battle at Wounded Knee ex cited the Indians at the agency in an alarm ing manner. The entire camp was soon in commotion, ami the rcetlem voung backs at once took to the hilis. apparently eager for the fi sy. K\en the most loyal of the Indians were affected, and the couriers themselves seemed eager for blood. It was not long before desul tory tiring was heard near the ageucv. Little Wound's men have fled back to the range north of here toward Two Strike, and both gangs are preparing to attack the agencv. The tiring last night was jn?t west of the school house and between the police and Two Strike's gang. Bullets whistled past the buildings in a stai ;Iing way. The troops here are the infan try under Maj. Wheaton. with one galling. four heavy guns and one Hotchkiss rifle. There will probably be only heavy skirmishing until morning. Every one hopes that the troops will arrive from the railroad by that time. FIVE THOUSAND SIOCX IN CAMP. Thnre are 5,000 Sioux encamped about the agency buildings. Their tepees are pitched in a h. mispheri -al way to the north, west and eafct and along a deep ravine, through which (lav creek runs. If all these Indiana revolt it would not take them long to wipe out the handful of i afantrymen from Omaha and massacre the fi.t>re camp. Every building at the agencv is built of wood, and" after looting the trailers' ft -res and the government store houses the In dians c>uid complete their work in short order by applying the torch. The Indian school houses, which are just west of the agencv build ings and w ithin rifie shot of Gen. Brooke's Itcad qnarters. are immense wooden struc.ures. There are nearly jno Indiaa boys and girls in the -.'ti j. ls. The teachers are whites and half breeds. People who can leave the agtncy are doing so as rapidly as possible.

CRITICISING tiEX. BOOT IT* A KCHKMES. Archdeacon Farrar, who has been an advo cate or at least a friendly critic of Gen. 1 tooth's social reform scheme, writes that while i he dislikes the Salvation Army methods in I many respects, yet he cannot repress his indig nation at the unfairness with which Booths proposal*, made with the l>est intentions in the I world, have been received in most quarters, namely, with a host litv and contempt based [ less on any real or fancied defect in the prac j tical Possibilities of the scheme than on the hatred ot the critics for any idea of reform ex cept that which emanates from an orthodox an.I conventional source.

THE EEVOLT IS ABOESTISE REPUBLIC. Notwithstanding the official assertion that the recent conspiracy against the Argentine government was not important privato dis patches received in London represent the situ ation as very grave.

Chicaoo, Dec. 30.?The report of Lee Cooley, wbo until a fortnight past has been the ehief engineer of the Chicago drainage commission, is made public. The report favors not a mere navigable sewer, but a policy which looks ulti mately to doe p water from Chicago to the Gulf of Mexico us well as to the Atlantic ocean. Mr. Cooley declared that a channel twenty feet in depth and 60!) feet wide will octiwlly cost loss than the eight-foot depth and smoli width that the federal government has been partly under taking. The reason given by him is that an easier grade would bo taken bv the larger cbannel and this grade, by the peculiar con formation of the route, would render unneces sary much otherwise expensive cutting through solid rock. He says there is aUo an erroneous impression that the possible navigable depth of the Missis sippi is small. The ultimate attainable depths from I.ako Michigan to the gulf, he says, are limited only by the supply of water which can be drawn from the lakes," with a certain meas urable supply from the upper Mississippi. The report condemns as destructive to existing commcrcc any attempt to make the Calumet river instead of the Chicago river the connect ing link between the ship canal and Lake Michigan. The climax of the report is a recommenda tion to abandon the thought of a lake front harbor at Chicago except for purposes of ref uge. In place of the lake front he pat* the practically unlimited dockage of the Chicago and Desplair.es river and tho proposed ship canal, with additional outlets to the lake through the heart of the city, at 30th street and also near Grosse I'ointe. 1 he idea is that by depositing excavated material on the lake front a thou sand or more acres of itnmenselv valuable land would be created, the income of which would in the end, he gays, relieve Chicago of all taxa tion for the great waterway. Speaking of tho commercial importance of the project as a whole Mr. Coolev says: "If deep water existed today from the Hudson via the Great Lakes to New Orleans a vessel could complete the circuit by gulf and Atlantic sea board ami touch at cities which contain CO pv cent of the urban population of the United States. Such a coast line through the pro ductive heart of the continent is worthy of all the time and all the resources that may bo needed." A It RIVAL OF STEPNIAK.

But on the night | of the 24th Matthews was in McBride's drug | store making some Christmas purchase?, and they fell out and had an altercation about a : plash dressing case worth a few dollars. Mathews became exasperated and struck Mc Bride on the head with hid pistol, inflicting an ugly flesh wound. On the morn ing' of the 25th Mathews was drink ing and walking up and down tho streets with a Winchester rifle in M* hands. He was arrested by Sheriff McCain ? put up a forfeit of (166 for his appeara at the mayor's court next morning a_J was enjoined to stay in his store. He had. just a short time before, passed the' drug store and stopped at i the door and looked in and in a loud tone told ! McBride he was ready for him. When ! released by the sheriff, vpon his patting I np a forfeit he west to his : store?the post office, but in a few minutes seized his gun and came out on the streets and, with gun in hand, proceeded toward the drug store. When be reached the sooth corner of the hotel gallery, at the north corner of Jack son's grocery, McBride stepped oat of the drug store on the pavement and shot him in the breast with a load of buckshot killing him instantly. McBride surrendered to the authorities and gave a bond to appear befoce the circuit court. Other Utters are strongly corroborative el the testimony of the minister. A. M.

Generally Postmaster General Vuaaabr is ?ot slow to diseoaa anjr subject in which he ? interested, bat he baa nothing to aay a boat the letter which the civil servio* commissioners mt to the President veeterday and which was published in The Star. '?It would be eminently improper for me to diacass that eommnnication," said Mr. ^ anamaker to a Stab reporter iiiis morning. "It waa written to the President, and I conld not poaaibly say anything about it until Hreacheame in aome direct manner. The Present however, may have aome remarks to make on K." THE IimotTID BXPOBT. The matter waa the subject of more than ? littie conversation at the Capitol today ?nd opinion waa considerably divided as to the rela tive merits of Mr. Wanamaker's idea* and the action of the commission. A republican Con gressman said to a Sta? reporter this after noon: "The movement on MTanamaker will fail to hurt him; it will make him friends. He is a republican, and republicans are undoubtedly Ctting very weary of the attacks which are *ng made on the party by all the members of the commission." This fight on w&namaker would have been visible some time ago had the Postmaster Gerer.il s report been published in an unexpurgaied con dition. You may remember thtt a portion of a page was cut out in all the copies which were distributed. Do I know what w;.s in that eliminated tiaragraph?

The contractors at the government stamj?cd envelope agency in Hartford. Conn., recently discovered that stamped envelopes were being sold in Hartford below the regular pricc. and inquiry developed the fact that they had been stolen over two years ago by one Fay. m ho nn to that time was watchman employed by the contractors. Pay was confronted with the charge and confessed to having stolen about 7.000 stamped envelopes. Inspector Evans of Boston was last nignt ordered to proceed at once to Hartford and investigate the matter. Today he advised the Post Office Department, by telegraph, that he liad ascertained that over 20.000 stamped envelopes had already been found that were sold by Fay. and that the gov ernment contractors acknowledge the liability and will indemnify the government against loss.

There m quite a large attendacee of ber* of the American Hi?wric?l Association at the morning session of the second day of the annual meeting. A Urge number of Ww were present. The meeting was held in the lecture room of the Rational Muaiinii and began a little before 11 o'clock. There were seven paper* on the program, and all of them were listened io with the clo?e?* attention. Several of them were on points ef history that hare not hitherto been written about to any extent. In the absence of the presidontjof the association, ! Hon. JohnJ2Jay, LL. D., of New York. Hon. Wm.

The first paper of the morning was one by Prof. Geo. L. Burr of Cornell University on '?The Fate of Piedrich Flnde," reed by Prof. Barnes of the State University of Indiana. Pr. Flade. the city judge of Tirer (Tr. ves>. was. according to Prof. Burr, the frost eminent vic tim of the wit' h persecution in Germany. In 1859 be was tried, confessed under torture and wns bnrned at the stake. He has long been supposed to have owed bis luckless fate to his attempts to check the per secution of others. The document vtnich would throw tlie most light upon the matter ? the record of his trinl has boon lost to re search for a century. This pu]>er is now in the President White library at Cornell University, and upon it l'rof. Ilurr's paper w: ? mainly based. He showed thut Fiaae s death wns the result of a plot, of wbi' h the governor of Tri< r. .Tohann Znndt von ?'< rt, was at the bottom, bnt to which tbe Jesuits at Trier and the archbishop himsci! were oors< iou?ly or un consciously pnr,.<--. l'rof. Burr thought tl.at there < ruld be litth'doubt that Fl?:de Hood in the way of witch persecution, hut lie was not sure to what extent he owed his death to thia fact. tttioky or the vn.t.AOF. ro*Mrwi. Br. ("has. M. Andrews of Bryn Siawr read an interesting paper on the Theory of the Village Commnnity. Mr. Andrews' paper was in the main a protest against much of the loose gen eralization now prevalent regarding American institutions. TUa work of ' the new historical school has giv ! en a great impetus to historical ?t idy, but it has also brought certain dangers with it. The th orv of the village community j is a case in point. The insufficiency of tbe data e.t the beginning of German ami Eng!i li bis | torv has made it possible to theori*? without i fear of contradiction, bnt with the early history of America the case is different. Mr. Andrews did not think the town eotnmunitv was the germ of the body politic, but ti!*uirllt it waii a later recognition within the original state. He used the analogy from American evidence to support conclusions aln. dv esjremfJ by other writers as to the comlitiony at the differ ent stages of the theory. He thought tint the best panacea for the evils that in: lit arise in this branch of historical study vtss a critical comparative study of the political and economic life in New England and old England at the time of the settlements. a plea fob reform is srrny. This paper, which gave rise to considerable discussion, was followed by a paper by Dr. Charles Gross of Harvard, who made a plea for reform in the study of English municipal history. He thought that England was far behind her neighbors in the study of the past. This fact. Prof. Gross said, was well shown by the literature of municipal or town history, which falls under the two beads, general his I tories of boroughs and historic* of particular boroughs. His*paper was an interesting account of what bad been done and what still remains to bo done in this lino of historical research. He said in his conclusion that the medieval records of towns are abundant and easily accessible and furnish a rich field of study that has as yet been little explored. xtrabeac's speech. Mr. Fred M. Fling. Ph.B., gave a critical and historical account of Mirabeau's speech of May 20, 1790. This speech was delivered in connec tion with the most exciting and important dis cussion in which Jhrabeau participated during his two years in the national assembly. It dealt with the attempt;" of the assembly to wrest from the king tin .right to declare war and to make peace, and was an effort on the part of Mirabeau. who had become the king's chief adviser, to prose .-ve those rights to the crown. The debate that arose upon tbe question of war and peace gave him an oppor tunity to serve bis royal client. Mirabeau was " looked upon as the leader of the revolutionary party and his strug gle rested upon his popularity. To retain tho good will of the musses and at the same time to thwart their w ishes was a difficult task, but this was the thing that Mirabeau at tempted to do. Tlie speecii was so ingeniously constructed that the true meaning yielded it self only to careful study, but it was fathomed and Mirabeau was forced to abandon his posi tion and to accept amendments to his project that entirely changed its significance. It was then adopted as a decree. Prof. Adolphe Cohn of Harvard presented an oral account of tho lengthy article on the forma tion of the French constitution, which he had written for the transactions of the Historical Association. THE LIBERAL MOVEMENT IS GERMANY. Prof. Kuno Francke of Harvard University read a paper on "Karl Follen mid the Liberal Movement in Germany." Follen was the first professor of German literature at Harvard Col lege and occupies an honorable place iu the his tory of American ei\ ilization. He was an enthusiastic Unitarian and aboli tionist and has been eulogized by su.-h men as Samuel May and William E. Charming. Whit tier has devoted some of hia most touching lines to Follen's memory. l'rof. Francke* paper dealt with a phase of Follen's life that has not been properly understood until very recently?his /participation in tbe liberal student movement in Germany from 1815 to 1819. Follen. was the heart and soul of that movement and it derived from his influence the characti r of a truly nihilistic con spiracy. Tlie agitation, which began at the University of Giessen, so-.: spread to Jena and Berlin and finally emi r; _ed most of the univer sities of north German-. Follen condemned all existing forms of gov ernment as tyranny and usurpation and pro claimed as the only aim worthy of a good Ger man citizen the "establishment of the one great German republic." He openly declared that I the only means of attaining this end were acts of violence and murder, and he actually formed a league of "death brethren"' or vouir.; men who pledged them selves to die for the cause of freedom. Tbe assassination of Kotzebue, which cannot bat be regarded as the practical conse quence of Follen's theories, brought the movement to a speedy and ^ abrupt close. Follen himself fled fir.st to Switzerland and afterward to the United States, where, sup Eorted by Lafayette s sympathy and friendship, e soon rose to prominence, identifying him self with the highest and most progressive as pirations of the time and completely abandon* ing his former anarchical tendencies. BISMARCK, THE TYPICAL AIRMAN. Mr. Win. G. Taylor's paper on "Bismarck, the Typical German," was the final paper of the morning session. Mr. Taylor said that Ger many is a land of castles, ami German con servatism is the outgrowth of the castle sys tem and bears the stamp of it. Of the conservatives Bismarck is the leader, but differs from his fellow* in his dislike of doctrinaires and of bureaucroey. The Ger I mans are renowned for their sterling honesty I and this trait is strongly marked in Bis marck. Diplomatic exigencies, however, have often led him to disregard the sim 1 pie directions that naturally occurs I to him. Bismarck was the achiever of German ; unity, bnt neither the idea of unity nor the idea of excluding Austria from the empire , was original with him. He conceived the . possibility of defeating Austria, and his great l merit lies in the strong character which he brought to tbe task. ^ Aworam Tabulatiko Machine.?Mr. Her : man Hollerith, the inventor of the electric tab ulating machine bow in ?se in the census office, has received information that a machine de scribed to be similar to his haa been made in Austria. The statement is published that this machine will be used in tabulat ing census statistic* of Austria, which an i aboat to collected. Aa Mr. Hollerith bee l taken out a patent la.

AN OLD MTKKSTITION. Do Clocks Stop When People Die, or People Die When Clocks Stop* rrora the Pittsbmnr Times. The sentimental and superstitious who are given to tracing the laws of coincidences will find an interesting subject for their attention in the recent death of a jeweler in Bucyrus.Ohio. For many years it has been the office of a skill ful German watchman, named Frank Kehrer. to attend to the town clock. During the past few months the koalth of Xr. Kehrer has been poor and the clock, deprived of his careful attention, has been keuptng indifferent time. One Mon day morning recently the timepiece struck 5, and a few moments lat;r It stopped.
