His Highness the Khan of Khiva has sent ambassadors to the Russian military expedi- tionary post Fort, No. 1, situated at the mouth of the Jaxartes River, in the Mooz-tah ter- ritory, who are commissioned with authority from the Central Asian potentate to accept, in his name, any terms which General Kaumann, the Russian commander, may prescribe. General Kaumann has not yet seen the am- bassadors, as they travelled to Fort No. 1 by a route different from that which was taken by the Russian corps in its advance march. The Central Asian envoys did not, therefore, en- counter the imperialist column, but passed it on another line. * WAR OPERATIONS STILL MAINTAINED BY THE RUSSIANS, Consequently there is, at this date, no change in the Russian plan of campaign, nor \any hesitation or cessation with respect to or in the conduct of the war operations which have been undertaken by order of His Majesty the Czar Alexander. : WHAT THE KHAN PROPOSES.

Parliamentary Proposition for a Reform of the Reform Bill—The Plan of Redistribution of Seats—Cabinet Compliment bat Ministerial Opposition. TELEGRAMS TO THE HCW YORK HERALD. Lonpon, May 6, 1873. In the House of Commons to-night Sir Charles Dilke moved a resolution that in the optnion of the House it is desirable to redress the inequalities in the distribution of political power in the United Kingdom. He complained that the legitimate in- fuence of large and important towns was swamped by small and decaying boroughs, in which the power ofa single individual was paramount over the constituency. Sir Charles continued at great length, pointing out the existing anomalies in rep- representation, and concluded by declaring that | “the time of tinkering had gone by, and a complete and thorough revision was the only remedy.” Mr. George Anderson, Member for Glasgow, seconded the motion, He showed that England ‘was entitled to 490, instead of 493 Members of Par- hament; Ireland to 89(?), instead of 105, and Scotland 76, instead of 60. There were cight constituencies, with an aggregate of 1,840 voters, which had the same representation as eight others with 239,000 voters, It was impossible to delay a redistribution much longer. Mr. Thomas Collins, Member for Boston, opposed the motion, because no“ method of redistribution was set forth. He argued that the counties already had the advantage of the boroughs, He opposed rep- resentation based on population, because it would result in giving further power to a class already in an unfair majority. The true representation was not one of numbers, but of the various elements, interests and classes of the community. Mr. Gladstone acknowledged the force of the reasons on which the motion was based, but said he was unable to support it. He admitted that he was in favor of a redistribution of seats in Ireland, but even that was not urgent. The sub- ject was full of diMiculties and it was idle to ap- proach it unless members were prepared to deal with the details. This was the last year of the present Parliament and there was, no time to con- sider a question of such importance. Moreover, he believed the public did not demand such a measure at present. Mr. George Dixon, Member for Birmingham, spoke in favor of the motion. He contrasted the cases of Birm.ngham, Liverpool and Manchester with those of severa! neighboring villages, showing the glaring inequality which existed in their re- spective representation. Sir Rowlana Blennerhasset, Member for Galway, also supported the motion, and Mr. Assheton and ethers spoke against it. A division of the House was finally reached and the motion was rejected by the following vote :— For the motion. . vi Against the moti 263 Majority against the MOtion.........+.+++++++-191 Ten minutes after the result was announced the House was counted out.

The Metropolitana took quiet possession of St. Martinsville on Sunday noon. During that night two Metropolitan scouts were dangerously wounded in the suburbs of that town, one of whom has since died. Skirmishing has been constant since. A conference between the leaders of the contending forces was held yesterday, during which the Mctro- Politans wanted to know who of the officers they were about to install were objectionable to the people, and what they wanted? The resisters re- plied that the men were satisfactory if commis- sioned by Governor McEnery; that the citizens only wanted the Metropolitans to leave the town and not interfere with their local affairs, The women and children are still in the town. Kellogg's Judge, tn company with his District At- torney and Congressman Darrell, have gone to St. Martinsville to epen Court to-day. The citizens’ force is variously estimated at from two to four hundred men, with two pieces of artillery. A report was circulated this morning that the Kel- loggites are organizing the negroes, and conse- quently the entire population are watchful. No general engagement has yet occurred, Business 18 generally suspended, A severe storm has prevailed since yesterday noon, at St. Martins- Firing on the Picket Line. , New Iberia, May 6—0:55 P. M. The situation at St. Martinsville is unchanged, There was a heavy firing on the picket line this afternoon. The citizens were driving the Kellorg pickets in. No casualties are reported. A battle may take place at any moment. It is reported that Kellogg's army hold the bridge crossing the bayou, thus preventing an attsck from the rear. A Fight Reported Inevitable. FRANKLIN, La., May 6—10 P.M. The Iatest information from St. Martinsville in- dicates that a fight is inevitable, and will probably take place early to-morrow morning. About twenty-five well mounted and well-armed men have left here since nightfall for St. Martinsville to resist Kellogg's army. Great excitement prevails. The telegraph ofice is crowded with anxious men, Excitement in Brashear City. BRASHEAR City, May 6—10 P. M. Great excitement exists all over the parish. The people are determined to resist the forty metro- politans who arrived here to-day. They are closely watched by the citizens, and it is said that any vert act on their part will be promptly resisted. Contrary to ordinary usage the citizens fraternize with the metropolitans, but all are on the alert. No colored men are to be seen on the streets. Every- thing is seemingly quiet. The Political Complications Increasing. New ORLEANS, May 6, 1873, The news from St. Martins and the adjoining parishes creates much excitement in this city, It is understood that a movement is on foot to seize the police stations while the Metropolitans are in the interior. The political complications are in- creasing. ‘The resisters claim that they are daily gaining strengtn, while the Kelloggites aver that all opposition is disappearing. Gan Stores Broken Open in New Orleans, New ORLEANS, May 6—11 P. M. Several gun stores were broken open by a mob to-night and robbed of their contents. The excite- ment in the ‘ity is subsiding, since it is currently reported that General Emory has con- sented to send a company of federal troops to protect the Metropolitans, who seem to be in danger at St. Martinsville. Their opponents seem to have them in close quarters. Meeting of the McEnery Party. New On.eans, May 6, 1873.

Camp on Lava Brvs, May 6, 1873. General Davis and staff leave to-morrow for Yreka, where he will establish his head- quarters. An order for fifty water barrels has been sont to Yreka, so as to be able to pack water to the troops in future operations. Nothing will be dono before the latter part of the month.

L. S, Dyar, Indian Agent of the Klamath Agency in Oregon, has made application to {the military authorities at Fort Klamath, in that State, for a detacnment of troops to be stationed at that place for the protection of the families of the em- ployés and the government property. Whether he fears an outbreak of the Klamath Indians or a rald of the Modocs on the reservation is not stated, The settlers at Goose Luke and in Surprise and John Day Vaileys are greatly alarmed, apprehend- ing an outbreak of the several tribes of Piutes on the reservations in Southern Oregon. The post commander at Camp Bidwell considers that post unsafe, as it is defenceless. There is at present a great number of Piutes tn Sug “ise Valley. General Wheaton, ptst commander at Camp War- ner, who was in command of the troops in the first fight with the Modoocs, has been ordered to the front. ‘The body of Lieutenant Howe, who was killed tn the fight of the 26th ult., arrived in San Francisco to-night.

One gentleman interviewed, said :—“IfI wasn’t so busy I'd go into ecstacies with you about the matter; but at present, if you will kindly excuse me I shall be obliged.” He was excused. As a result of its enterprise the HERALD sold 198,400 copies on Friday morning. {From the Syracuse Courier, May 5.)
