This morning's Siandard announces that no reply to the British ultimatum has been received from the Ameer of Afghanistan, and orders have accordingly been sent to India for the troops to advance, The Central News yesterday said:—“‘An important despatch from India, which we have reason to believe is Shere Ali’s reply to the Viceroy’s ultimatum, was received yesterday at the India Office, in London.

The’ simple duty of yesterday's Cabinct Council was to loarn whether any change in the Amcer’s aititude Would necessitate an alteration in these instruc- tions, “As the Ameer has went no reply ft only remained for the troops to execute ‘the origital otders.

The Times’ Berlin despatch says that the deficit is stated to exceed 70,000,000 marks, and brut for the last remnant of the Trench indemnity being distributed in 1876 it would’ have occurred a year ago. It is mainiy occasioned by the steady increase of mil- itary’ expenditures, accompanied by the decrease of indirect taxes and the proceeds from government vailways, mines and forests. ‘The exact figures of the Geficit are still unknown, but the total result strangely contrasts with the gratifying aspect of the Prussian budget for so many years past. AUSTRIA, HANOVER AND PRANCE. ‘The Austrian Red Book comprises documents show- ing that Turkey officially organized and dostered re- sistance to the Austrian occupation of Bosnia, sent regular troops disguised as Bashi-Bazonks into Bosnia, organized the Alvanian League, and, after these prep- arations for insurrection, broke off the negotiations regarding the Convention. The Pall Mali Gacette's Berliti despatch says:—‘The proposal to can- cel the agreement with the Crown of Hanoyer, and to absorb the Guelph fund, has been overrtled by Prince Bismarck, who has asked for delay, in order to give the Duke of Cumberland time to reconsider his determination.

SPECIAL CABLE DESPATCH TO THR TELEGRAM. Giascow, Noy. 20, 1878. * The Clyde shipbuilders, at their mecting just held, have decided that unless the men who are now out on strike resume work forthwith they wigl lock out all ironworkers employed by them in the different ship- building yards, ‘This will affect thousands of workmen. Many of them have of late only been gaining a precarious live- lihood. The workmen at large stigmatize this step on the part of their employers as nothing more nor less than tyranny, which may yet lead to violence. A WOREMAN'S STATEMENT. One of the workmen, now on strike, made the fol- lowing statement to-day to your correspondent :— “The resolution of the Clyde Shipbuilders’ En- Gineers’ Association, which went into force on the 21st of October, reducing our wages no less than seven and a half per cent, has been the cause of no little bitterness of fecling between master and men, Our employers have not thoroughly carried their point, and now, feeling themselves driven into 9 corner through division in their own ranks, are trying to commence a war of extermination on us, their as- sistants. “NO MERCY.” “Their motto toward us has been ‘no mercy,’ and in return we will give as good as wo get. These bitter struggles between capital and laber are becoming more frequent and intense day by day. ‘The Clyde and the Liverpool branches of the United Society of Boilermakers and Iron Shipbuilders, to which I belong, is very powerful. We number over twenty thousand members in England, Ireland and Scotland, and we have at the present moment over $200,000 in the general fund. THE PROTEST. “When the masters, driven by competition in trade, by the Bank of Glasgow failure, reduced us seven and s half per cent our society adopted a protest.” Here the Telegram informant read from his note- book as follows :— ~ “Resolved, That the Executive Board of the United Society of Boilermakers and Iron Shipbuilders notify the various Clyde firms that it considers the reduction of wages forced upon its members as equivalent to dis- charge, and they therefore quit working. Any mom- bers, however, who have contracts at the old prices are justified in continuing their work until the expi- ration of the stipulated time.” DARK DAYS AMRAD, “Well,” said the workman, in conclusion, “I see dark days ahead for us all. The shipbuilding trade on the Clyde will suffer heavily. Many a one of us, with our wives and bairns, will soon know once more what hunger means. Some of the men are gloomy, for they fear that our trade will be killed. XREPING BODY AND SOUL TOGETHER, “With the irregular work we now have we can hardly keep body and soul together. When the Em- ployers’ Committee met on the 25th of last month we sent in our petitions, aaking that they would com- promise with us on a five per cent reduction, with piece work and time wages as before, but they were were too stiffmerked to heed us. : PREVIOUS STRIKES. “They forgot or did not care what we poor fellows had gine through in ‘tho strikes of 1872 and 1875. The pay was higher then than it is to-day. I hope we shan't see labor riots, but things look as if they were drifting that way very quickly.” \ THE MARQUIS OF LORNE.

The Secretary of the Navy received the offi- cial report of Commander Evans this morning, giving the result of his examination of the Cap- tain of the Norwegian bark Forto at Baltimore, and, from. the information forwarded in the documént, it has been definitely ascertained that the so called William Buder is really Frederick Olsen, a Norwegian sailor, who enlisted in the navy in Phila- | delphia in August, 1877, was transferred to the Colo- rado at Brooklyn and’ never left that vessel until March last, when he was discharged for the gvod of the service, He never was, drafted on the Huron, Olsen was found to be utterly worthless as a xeaman. His habits wore disgusting and he was disliked by the men on the Colorado. His descriptive list was iden- tical with that of William Buder, except as to height, and his signature on the enlistment roll was in the same handwriting as that which he gave the Secre- tary on Monday. NOT 4 DESERTER. He is not even a deserter from the service, so the order for his Spschension, has been countermanded. It ia papers t he got acquainted with Buder at Philadelphia or Brooklyn and saw or knew of their gen- eral resemblance to each: other. ‘This knowledge stood to him in his scheme to resent himself as the lost Buder, and secure a year’s pay and the sur- vivor's money awarded the crew of the Huron. INDIAN AGENCY FRAUDS. PROGRESS OF GENERAL HAMMOND’S INVESTIGA- TION---A GLAIM FOR WHICH AN APPROPRIATION WAS MADE FOUND 19 BE FRAUDULENT. [BY TELEGRAPH To THE HERALD.) Yanxrow, D. T., Nov. 20, 1873, General Hammond, Indian Inspector, has been ordered by Secretary Schurz from here to Salt Lake to investigate certain shortcomings there. General Haramond recently investigated the 'Birkett claim of $36,000, for Which an sorte was made at the last session of Congress. Birkett was agent less than two years for the Toncas, and claimed to have ad- vanced the above sum to save his wards from starva- tion. A CLHAN STEAL. ‘The department since the appropriation was made has suspected the truth of the statements upon which the claim was based, and kept the claimant out of his money. Hammond discovered that Birkett never made any advances, and that it was « clean steal, The agent who succeeded Birkett re- ports that he found the agency in a wretched con- dition, there being absolutely nothing on hand. VACTIMS OF FRAUD IN AN IMPROVED CONDITION. Wasuineton, Nov. 20, 1878.

That part of the mine where it occurred was worked entirely by the safety lamps, and it could not have been ignited by them. It is very probable that it was caused by blasting. THE NEVADA MINING PANIC. A FURTHER DECLINE IN LEADING COMSTOCK SHARES. Saw Frasctsco, Nov. 20, 1878. Contrary to general expectation the stock panic continued to-day, The outlook was more favorable at an early session of the Board this morning, but at eleven o'clock another break occurred, Sicrra Nevada falling. to 65, Union to 55 and other Comstocks sympathizing with the leaders. In the afternoon there was a partial recovery. The excite- ment here and in Virginia City was intense when to-day’s break occurred, and the street was full of rumors that there had been au outbreak in Virginia City, Preas und private despatches contradicted the rumors ¢o far a& any overt act is con- | cermed, but state that the ininers, many of whom | were ruined by the panic, threatened violence to Jolin 8. the manager of the Sierra Nevada, but were quieted to a great extent by his proposition to admit acommitteo of miners to examine the mine. Great excitement still prevails. ‘The latest despatch from Virginia City says that all is perfectly quiet, and that there is not the slightest danger of trouble of any kind. ‘The miners’ com- mittee have gone to examine the Sierra Nevada. LOUISIANA FRAUDS.

The charge against the democrats of being responsi- ble forthe late troubles in Caddo, which has been generally circulated through the Northern press, is contradicted in a despatch from N. C. Blanchard, chairman of the Caddo Democratic Committee, which appears in one of the papers of this city to-day. If the charges made in this despatch are true, the President has no cause for dissatisfaction against United States District Attorney Leonard, as the entire responsibility of the lategtroubles is charged against him. The alleged exact Yanguage of several of his speeches at various precincts is given, which is cer- tainly calculated to incite bloodshed, It is further stated that he only advised the colored people not to vote when ie saw that the election was going againat him, and this for the purpose of claiming that fraud and violenco had been used. DEMOCRATIC COUNTER CHARGES, ‘The despatch further reiterates the charge that tho disturbances were firat brought on by the colored people firing on the deputy sheriff and posse, by Which two white men were wounded, Twelve colored mea were killed in the a se which followed, all with arms and ammunition in their, possession. Some who were captured, it is declared, made the volun- tary statement that it was the intention to take possession of the ballot boxes after ‘ the closing of the “ polls, with orders to shoot every white man that attempted to interfere. So much as'regards Mr. Blanchard’s-despatch. It is contirmed, however, by the statement published in the Shreveport /imes over the signature of forty-four gentlemen living at or near the place where the trouble , one of whem is Mr. Rayben White (2), # prominent planter, aud candidate on the spudli ticket, on whose plantation the disturb- ‘ante took place.

The charges were made by one of the te Senators of the national ticket. MIDNIGHT WEATHER REPORT. Wan DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF THE CHIEF SIGNAL OFFICER, ‘Wasuinetos, Noy. 21—1 A. M.
