Se —s TELEGRAPHIC NEWS, From All Parts of the World. FOUL OF THE FISHERIES An English Opinion Regard- ing Secretary Evarts. AFGHANISTAN AND ENGLAND. Germany’s Anxiety Regarding the Berlin Treaty. MORE BUSINESS FAILURES. [BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.) Lonpon, Nov. 5, 1878. The Pall Mall Gazette, in°a leading edito- rial article this afternoon, says:—‘‘That the United States should choose this pre- cise moment to publish what seems from a telegraphic summary to be a rather threatening despatch, addressed by Mr. Secretary Evarts to the American Minister, Mr. Welsh, can scarcely be regarded as ac- cidental. All the world can see that we have on our hands just now quite as much as we can well deal with, and a really friendly Power with a grievance like that, whilst holding to its prosition, would refrain from casting the matter in an irri- tating way before the public until our affairs had assumed a more peaceful aspect. At any rate this is what, according to the admirers of the Alabama arbitration, we might certainly have expected from America. The truth is that while the very party with which the bargain was made still holds office in the United States, the first opportunity is seized to make a point against us, just when it reckoned that other difficulties may force us to give way. Nothing else was to be expected, and for our own part we are inclined to thank Mr. Evarts for teaching our countrymen that nations, generally, are no more inclined to forego their advantages over one another in the nineteenth century than in the eigh- teenth, seventeenth, sixteenth or first. NOT SURPRISED, “Let the’ sentimentalists blame Mr, Evarts, for he has disappointed them, not us. The American newspapers of all shades of political opinion, without giving a mo- ment’s consideration, let us hope, to the fact that the quarrel has nothirg whatever to do with the award of $5,500,000 made in favor of Canada at Halifax, come forward at once with the contention that this money, dueand long overdue to us, must not be paid antil and unless this new difference is set- tled in a way they think right. Nine million dollars of the Alabama indemnity still re- main without any reasonable claimant, and here are $5,500,000 more to be retained. We should have supposed that the Americans . could scarcely afford to recall attention to the various matters relating to the Watrhe ington Treaty and the manner in whioh its provisions have been carried out. : A SHADBY TRICK. “But, then, we too have a little sentiment about us, for, in truth, the whole story is one of a continuous attempt at evasion, and evasion of a somewhat shabby kind; and, was taken of local regulations—the local regu. lations of the State of New York—to avoid compliance with of the most important stipulations of the treaty in favor of Canadian shipping. Therefore Lord Salisbury has open to him scm: \ery pertinent retorts. But two wrongs do not make a right, and if is appears thit the Newfoundlanders, who do not form a part of the Dominion, had no right to tuke the law into their own hands, in view cf the arrangements entered into on their behalf, of course compensation will have to be made. When, however, the Americans argue that the whole fishery question may have to be reopened, we are at liberty to disregard what they say, or we might answer that it so, some other points would have to be reconsidered at the same time, AN OFFSET, “Thus it would be at least arguable on the part of the Canadians that very serious slaims for monstrous injuries inflicted by American citizens on British subjects dur- Ing the Fenian raids should again be put forward, sinco, according to every recognized principle of international law, the United States were to the fullest extent responsible for those outrages. We mention that, however, only to show how troublesome it is to go too far back in such matters and to mix up ques- tions which ought to be kept separate. It may be possible that Lord Salisbury has taken up a false position with respect to the local or other rights of Newfound. curiously enough, advantage one land, though since he had all the facts before him, and the knowl. edgo that ho was dealing with o very thorny question, we may fairly hope that he has not done so, But in any case wo shall have the satisfaction of knowing that whatever discredit there may be in this talk of keeping money back or in sud- denly springing diplomatic mines at an awkwurd time it is not ours,” THAT POOR TREATY, The Berlin st says cight weeks ago when the ‘Treaty of Berlin was in danger Prince Bismarck ap- pealed to tho signatories to defend it, England, who NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1878--WITH SUPPLEMENT. | then neglected the request, now appeals to Austria and France, the supposed adversaries of Russia, for the purpose of reviving the Crimean alliance. Such attempts are useless. Furthermore, England by fos- tering jealousies certainly will not succeed in prevent- ing friendly relations between Bulgaria and Greece, ‘THE ASIAN ANXIETY. ‘The British ultimatum was placed in the hands of Faisz Mahomed Khan, the Afghan commander at Ali- musjid, on the 2d inst., and acopy at the same time posted at Peshawur to the Ameer. Sir Ne- ville Chamberlain, as acting military member of the Vicregal Council, accompanies the Viceroy to Lahore. A despatch from Simla says it is reported that Shere Ali is at Jellala- bad, determined to attack the British forces near the Khyber Pass and Quettah unless the British take the initiative. The Arab tribes occupying the country between Bagdad and Bassorah have revolted and cut off communication between Bagdad and Mosul, The government functionaries of the district have fled, Colonel Lindsay, Financial Secretary of. the War De- partment, in a speech at Abingdon, yesterday, said England’s ultimatum informed the Ameer that the Russian Embassy must withdraw and that he must not enter into a Russian alli- ance, but must preserve a neutral at- titude, The Standard’s Calcutta correspondent says information has been received from Simla to the effect that the Ameer, in his recent reply, said he had been anxiowfs for British friendship, but that the British policy changed with each new Viceroy. The Ameer declares he is open to make a new treaty; that he is not bound by any Russian alliance and did not invite the Russian Embassy to Cabul, FRENCH AFFAIRS, ‘The French Chamber of Deputies at Versailles has declared invalid the election of the Bonapartist, M. Leroux. During the debate M. Paul de Cassagnac was called to order for interrupting one of the speakers, and saying there was nothing in common between the Bonapartists and President MacMahon since the latter had perjured him- self. The Daily ‘elegraph’s Paris despatch says:—A proposal to maintain the Exposition build- ing on the Champ de Mars, in the possession of the city, as a place of popular entertainment is held under consideration by the Municipal Council of Paris.” It has been decided to increase the number of tickets in the Exposition lottery to 12,000,000 and postpone the drawing to the 15th of December. Tho Municipality of Marseilles has adopted, by a vote of 26 to 7, a mo- tion in favor of general amnesty to Communists, ENGLAND'S BUSINESS TROUBLES. Thomas Haigh & Co., of Liverpool, have failed in consequence of extensive operations in cotton to arrive. Their unsettled contracts involve the settle- ment of differences on 8,000 to 10,000 bales of cotton, and further difficulties are possible. The short time movement is gradually extending in the mills of Burnley, where there will soon be 350,000 spindles and 6,000 to 7,000 looms operated on short time. The India mill, the largest in Darwen, has stopped. The rail- way companies in the cotton districts are discharging employés and reducing wages because of the stagna- tion of traffic. THE LONG-HAIRED GREEKS. In the Greek Chamber at Athens yesterday the new Ministry moved, as a test of confidence, that the House adjourn for two weeks. The motion was re- jected by a vote of 87 against 80. The Ministers im- mediately resigned. The Diretto, of Rome, states that France has issued a note advising that diplomatic pressure be exerted in favor of the claims of Greece on Turkey. Italy and Germany have already con- sented to mediate between Greece and the Porte. CABLE ITEMS, A Berlin despatch to the Times say: “The German government proposes to increase the duty on wine, hides, grain and some other articles. The duty on grain is intended to compel concessions from Russia, Austria, Italy and France. The other new imposts will be light and designed for financial purposes solely.” _ Inthe Spanish Senate yesterday Premier Canovas del Castillo read a bill concerning the Senatorial clec- tions in Cuba, The bill increases the number of Sen- ators from Cuba to sixteen.

Goodwyn, Judge of the County Court, of Major William A. Reese, con- servative member of the Legislature, on the charge of killing Adolphus Trotter, negro, at a republican meet- ing some weoks ago, was attended with manifestations of intense excitement on the part of the negroes of the neighborhood. Hundreds of them have flocked to the Court House from all parts of the country, armed with sticks, and some of them are reported to have threatened that if Reese is acquitted they intend to kill him before he leaves the Court House. On account of the excitement many ladies have come to this city from Greenville, and a special force of constables was de- tailed to-day to prevent disturbance at Hicksford. The negroes profess to be greatly aroused by the killing of Trotter and Hith by white men within two weeks. The day was consumed in the examination of wit- nesses. Colonel Charles 8. Springfellow is counsel for Major Reese. PROBABLE MURDER. (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) Aspury Park, N. J., Nov. 4, 1878, Two men in 4 light wagon drove up to the Halfway House, a hotel situated about cight miles southwest of this place, and inquired the way to Shark River station, on the New Jersey Southern Railroad. They were told the route and drove on. In a little while the horse came running back, dragging the wagon, which was upset. Several men started in search of the strangers, fearing they were injured. About half a mile from the hotel they found one of them lying in the edge of the woods in an unconscious condition and with a dangerous stab wound in the right side of his neck, near the shoulder, It was subsequently ascertained that his name was Cook and that he be- longed in Long Branch. There being no physician in the neighborhood he was conveyed to Long Brauch, while still. insonsible. His companion has disap: red and foul play is auspected.

THE FEVER BEING FROZEN OUT AT CAIRO, ILL, Camo, Ill., Nov. 4, 1878, Two deaths from yellow fever have occurred within the last forty-eight hours and two or three new cases have developed within the same time, but they are among those who were exposed to the infection before the late heavy frost. The temperature near the earth’s surface has ‘reached the freezing point nearly every night for a week. AN APPEAL FOR AID. The following appeal in behalf of the yellow fever sufferers at the South was received by Mayor Ely yesterday :— Cantor, Miss., Nov. 2, 1878, To tux Mayor or New York :— We are entirely out of funds. A good many cases of fo} yet on hand, and nurses to pay. Can city do anything for us pecuniar ‘our past kindness is fully ‘appre- elated.” % ® G.M THOMAS, President Howard Association, GRATITUDE OF LOUISIANA TO NEW YORK. In a letter to a New Orleans friend Lieutenant Gover- nor Wiltz uses the following language, which will no doubt be read with interest :— “The extent and destructiveness of the fever in our poor State are greater than I had expected. The du- ration of the destitution and distress caused by it could not be foretold. ‘We are at a loss for fit terms in which to express thanks, in the name of our suf- ferers, forthe quick and hearty answer that New Ye gave to our call for help. For assistance so prompt, spontaneous and munificent we can now re- turn only a small instalment of the grateful ac- knowledgements which our afflicted be be will never cease to express for the magnanimity of that great city. Their gift will be historic, and claim, at the proper time, its place in the History of Peace. That pros- rity and happy fortune may attend the generous of jew York and all who are to them is now and will forever be the wish Syyermost in the hearts of the afflicted strangers whom they have helped to succor.” HELP FOR LIEUTENANT BENNER'S FAMILY—WHY PUBLIC ASSISTANCE IS NEEDED. Cuanrteston, 8. C., Nov. 1, 1878. To Tae Epitor or THE Hekanp:— In reply to a communication which appeared in your paper recently and signed ‘‘H.” I would state for his information that the widow of Lieutenant Benner, Eighteenth infantry, United States Army, is entitled to a pension at the rate of $17 per month. Lieutenant Benner’s pay was about $2,000 per year, with the al- lowance of quarters of a first lieutenant, which ceased with his death. “H.” asks the necessity of the appeal for afd for this officer’s family and suggests application to Congress for a pension. The latter is well enough in its way; but, unfor- tunately, it will take months to fix the pen- sion papers, and the amount—well, it is $17— better than nothing. In the meantime his family must live, and the dead officer's memory can be hon- ored in no better way, in my opinion, os by pecu- niary assistanoe to his family. It is true this officer was not ordered, but volunteered for the duty which cost him his life, and no soldier can have a better record than Hiram H. Benner, who died while in command as a volunteer of the yellow fever relief steamer. It is to be hoped that the amount raised for this hero's family will be large conan to va them above want. JEW JERSEY. THE MEMPHIS EPIDEMIC. REMARKABLE MORTALITY IN THE OFFICE OF THE MEMPHIS APPEAL—NEARLY FIFTY PER CENT OF THE EMPLOYES DEAD FROM YELLOW FEVER. Mempuis, Tenn., Nov. 1, 1878. The wires have given to the world outside of our afflicted city the number of cases and deaths occur- ring each day, and correspondents have furnished to their respective newspapers letters bearing incidents transpiring during thé plague, including, at times, the mention of the annihilation of societies and the utter destruction of families, but all these subjects have never presented the realities that have existed. My effort in this letter is to add to the descriptions already given to print, and my example will be the Memphis Daily Appeal office, in which I have been en- gaged for years, with Colonel Keating, the managing editor; in fact, we are the only two who have escaped attack up to this hour. At the breaking out of the epidemic the Appeal had in its counting room four employés, namely :—Henry White, business manager; Frank Backus and John Fifer, collectors, and George W. Woods, bookkeeper (temporary), all of whom were attacked, the latter dying. In the editorial department were Colonel Keating, man: editor; WS, Brooks, river editor; Frederick Irenan, city editor, and Eugene W. Moore, acting financial editor, all of whom, except the first named, were attacked and recovered. In the composing room were eighteen men employed, all of whom were attacked except myself, viz.:—H. E, Crandall, John B. Hoskins, W. G. Taylor, H. M. Crowell, W. W. Stephenson, Ed. Schiller, T. D. Uzell, H. J. McGraun (foreman), and Frank Beamish (apprentice), These reco’ W. G. Stephenson, B. N. Barker, M. _ Lorentz, Charles M. Smith, James F, Cummins and George Beamish (apprentice) died. In the press room H, P.

D, Hollins- head, M. Vi ane ton Brooks, carriers, and Nick, porter, died. Th ve list contains the names of thirty-eight persons, who remained, eighteen of whom recovered and eighteen died, two so far escap- ing. Reckoning the families as members of the office, whose mpport relied upon the salaries drawn by each person above employed, we have the following addi- tional names of recovered and dead :— George W. Woods’ (bookkeeper) wife, sick. W. 8, Brooks’ mother, wife and son, dead. jor W. G. Stephenson's two daughters, dead. Cutting’s wife, rick. H. M.

Safety of the Propeller City of Montreal, STEAM TUG WELCOME MISSING. ° (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] Curcaao, Nov, 4, 1878, A storm, unequalled in fury by any that has pre- vailed on Lake Michigan, at least for the past sixteen years, has for the past four or five days been lashing the eastern shore. Every crew that reaches this port bears cvidence to this fact. Among the latest casual- ties reported here to-day is that of the schooner John P. March, which went ashore near Good Hartor, Little Traverse Bay, and is a total loss. The despatch did not give very full particulars, but intimates that the March had encountered the full brunt of the storm, and that she had almost been torn to pieces before she was cast ashore. Four persons were lost, pamely :— Captain JOHN DEBBAGE. THE MATE, name unknown. MARY MURRY, cook. JAMES MURRY, son of the cook. eThe latter two were from Cleveland. The Captain was from Oswego, N. Y., where he leaves a wife and two children, ‘he March was light. She left this port in ballast for Traverse City, after a cargo of cord wood, and had almost reached her destination when the disaster overtook her in the manner described. ‘The unfortunate craft was a comparatively new vessel and was worth about $10,000. She was well known at this’ port and generally ran in the grain trade. THE PROPELLER CITY OF MONTREAL SAFE. It was also reported here to-day that the schooner Benson had been dismasted and that the propeller Canada was missing. A rumor prevailed on the docks this morning that the propeller City of Montreal had been lost. She belonged to the Chicago and Col- lingwood line and left here on Tuesday last, about the same time that the Ketcham, the Rutter, the Alcona and the Winona did. The disaster to the Rutter has been announced and the Alcona and Winona have passed Detroit in safety. The City of Montreal had not been heard from since that time, She was laden with 15,000 bushels of corn and twenty boxes of meat consigned to Ogdensburg. The number of persons known to have been on board of her when she left here was twenty. She was com- manded by Captain Thomas Searle, was owned in To- ronto, and was a passenger boat. ‘The fact that parts of a steamer and a life preserver with the name “City of Montreal” theron, were picked up near Frankfort, Mich., a few days ago, led to the belief that the City of Montreal had been lost. A despatch from Colling- wood, Ont., brings the information that this steamer arrived there last night. On Friday she ran ashore at Betsy Island Light, and in getting off lost her pilot house, This would therefore account for the articles picked up off Frankfort. STEAMTUG WELCOME NOT HEARD FROM. It is reported from Milwaukee that fears are enter- tained that the tug Welcome, which left that port late last Thursday night to render assistance to the barge Rutter at Ludington, has gone down with all on board. The master had orders to telegraph his arrival at any point the boat might be compelled to seek, but no word has yet been received from him. A Sheboygan despatch says she was there Friday night bu tleft during the night, but this is a mistake. Her crew consisted of six persons—Charles Moody, captain ; Albert Wolfe, first engineer; Charles Wilcox, second engineer; John Warner, fireman; Louis Runkle, cook, and a boy, name unknown. The schooner Quickstep is ashore and 8 total loss on Washington Island, Lake Michigan. . LOST ON THE WOODRUFF, It is now known that the following named persons were lost on board the bark Woodruff, which went down near Ludington, Mich., last Friday morning:— ‘THOMAS McHENRY, first mate. WILLIAM PHILLIPS, second mate, WILLIAM DUNN, seaman. All were of Cleveland. The saved were James Ling- ham; Captain Edward Murphy, son of the owner; James Tripp, cook; James Breen, John McAuley, James Driscoll and John Berry. PROPELLOR QUEBEC ASHORE. The propellor City of Duluth, which arrived here to-day, reports the Canadian propellor Quebec ashore on Magnetic Reef, Cockburn Island, at the head of Lake Huron. She will undoubtedly go to pieces. Two tugs sent to her aid also were wrecked, ‘The Qhebec and her cargo are valued at $90,000, WRECKS ALONG THE SHORE. From all along the east shore of Lake Michigan come reports of damage done to shipping by the storm. The beach is fairly covered with wrecks of schooners and barges, big and little; but beyond what is given above no lives are reported lost. The schooner March, lost as above stated, was insured in the Phoenix and Manhattan for $4,000 in each, LOSS OF A SCHOONER. Sr. Jonx, N. B., Nov. 4, 1878. A despatch announces the loss at Abaco, on the 5th of October, of the schooner Bright Star, of St. John, bound from Manzanilla to New York with cargo of molasses. The vessel was owned by D. W. Clarke and Captain McIntosh and insured in Halifax and Boston for $5,000. SNOW IN NEW BRUNSWICK. Sr. Joun, Nov. 4, 1878, Asevere snow storm set in here to-night. MIDNIGHT WEATHER REPORT.

DISCHARGE OF THE CREW-—SOME RESULTS OF | THE EMBASSADORS OF THE CELESTIAL EMPIRE THE LITTLE VESSEL'S VOYAGE. Wasurnaton, Nov. 4, 1878. The crew of the schooner Florence, of the Howgate Arctic expedition, having been discharged and the vessel and cargo consigned to the care of Williams & Haven, the members of the preliminary Arctic expe- dition of 1877 are seeking their respective homes. Mr. Sherman, the meteorologist, has already made his report to Captain Howgate, and Captain Tyson will be here to-morrow to render his in person. Mr. Kum- lein, the naturalist, is here, with Professor Baird, for whom he has brought an interesting and valuable col- lection of specimens in the different, departments of natural science, It is believed that when the equip- ment is taken into consideration more valuable work has been done for science by this expedition than by any previous one, however well sustained and sup- pliet, ‘This is the sanguine view taken by Captain Tyson, who says, further, that had supplies been sent on himself and crew would have gone poleward cheer- fully in the little Flo rence. ‘TEMPERATURE ENCOUNTERED. The coldest temperaturo, as recorded by Mr. Sher- man, Was experienced January 21, when the thermom- eter fell to minus fifty-two degrees, The warmest day was the 8th of June, when the temperature rose to fifty-five and a half degrees Fahrenheit. The longest sustained period of cold was from March 5 to 13, when the thermometer ranged forty degrees below zero. Rapid changes of temperature were noticeable, amounting often to six or eight degrees in an hour. UNCIVILIZED ART. Some very curious specimens of uncivilized art, in the nature of Esquimau drawing, were brought, illus- trating the various natlye pursuits, as hunting the deer, seal and whale. Mr. Sherman took a number of photographs of native scenery and objects of interest, some of which can be utilized, although many of them have become effaced or otherwise destroyed on the homeward passage. Mr. Kumlein has @ number of eehe which will serve admirably to illustrate his repo! RELICS OF CAPTAIN HALL'S VOYAGE, Colonel Lupton, of this city, well known as the life- long friend and admirer of Captain Hall, sent a por- trait of that explorer to the commander of the Flor- ence, together with a flag carried by the Kane expedi- tion to the Arctic regions. Both of these interesting relics have returned in a good state of preservation, and will be brought to this city for Captain Howgate, to whom they have been presented by Colonel Lupton. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. ‘THE TICONDEROGA IN COMMISSION—ORDERS. WasnincTon, Nov. 4, 1878. A despatch to the Navy Department from Ports- mouth, N. H., dated to-day, says that the Ticonderoga, in which Commodore Shufeldt will make his commer- cial cruise to Africa and elsewhere, has just been put into commission. Lieutenant Commander John C. Kennet is ordered to duty on board the New Hampshire, at Port Royal, S._C., as executive officer. Master Martin E. Hall is ordered to the Navy Yard at Pensacola, Fla. Lieutenant Commander David C.

The United States steamer Wyoming passed out from Washington last night for New York. DEATH IN A BOAT. SRE [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] Warrrtows, N. ¥., Nov. 4, 1878. On Thursday last, at South Bay, near Oswego, a young man named Dulmage, of that place, left the schooner Julia, upon which he was engaged, to visit the schooner Olivia, which was anchored near by.
