TELEGRAPHIC NEWS From All Parts of the World. NEW POLICY OF FRANCE. * Struggles of Europe to Keep the Plague at Bay. MORE STRIKES---MORE DISTRESS. ‘Germany Pushing Denmark to the Wall. THE NEW FRENCH CABLE. [Bx CABLE TO THE HERALD. ] Lonvon, Feb. 6, 1879. The forthcoming Presidential message was thor- oughly discussed at yesterday’s council of the new French Cabinet. La Liberté, of Paris, says the message embodies the views mentioned in the Na- tional as haying been agreed upon by the new Cabi- net, viz, that the question of the return of the Chambers to Paris can be decided by a Congress of the two Houses; that complete amnesty be granted to the Communists who have already been pardoned, and that no im- peachment scheme will be supported. In regard to the economic question, it adheres to the principles upon which the last treaties of commerce are based. The Estafelle says the Message gives every satisfac- faction to the Left in regard to changes of office holders. A Paris despatch to the 7imes says M. De Marcere takes the Budget of Worship because M. Jules Ferry was married with civil and not religious rites, Three other new ministers are lawyers. Five members of the Cabinet, as now constituted, are Protestants. ‘The project of impeaching the De Broglie Ministry will be abandoned by. the Left.’’ Special despatches from Paris say M. Cochery, Under Secretary of the Department of Finance, has been nominated Minister, with a new department. M. Andral, Vice President of the Council of State, has resigned, and Admiral Pothuau has been appointed Ambassador at London, and Colonel Andlau Ambas- sador at Vienna. STRUGGLE WITH THE PLAGUE. Namerous sanitary, municipal, provincial and other committees are being organized in Russia with the object of promoting cleanliness among the poorer classes, especially in Moscow and St. Petersburg, and lectures on the subject of the plague are given at many of the medical schools. The British authorities at Malta have decided to impose twenty-one days’ quarantine on vessels arriving from Russian ports in the Black Sea and Sea of Azoff. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Telegraph says four more fatal cases of the plague are reported at Selitereno. The correspondent is personally cognizant of two suc- cessful evasions of the military cordon, which is very Inefficient. CRUSHING DENMARK. ‘The Berlin Post says Austria, in the recent treaty abrogating the fifth clause of the Treaty of Prague, has given proof of her friendship toward Germany in return for the great services she received during, and especially toward the close, of the Eastern crisis. Denmark can now no longer hope for modification of the treaty of peace of 1864 except by showing neigh- borly good will toward Germany. Tho Paris Moniteur Unitvcreel says Denmark intends applying at Berlin for an equitable scttlement of the Schleswig question, and in the event of a refusal she wilt appeal to the Powers. ‘THE RUSSIAN OCCUPATION. Accounts from Constantinople and St. Petersburg concur in representing that the signature of the definitive treaty between Russia and Turkey is de- layed until Podgoritza is surrendered to Montenegro. The evacuation will begin on the 6th instant, when the treaty will be signed (if not before), and Prince Labonoff, the Russian Ambassador at Constantinople, will make a simultaneous declaration regarding the withdrawal of the troops. Several members of the diplomatic corps yesterday congratulated Prince Labonoff upon the satisfactory issue of this nego- tiation. The Vienna correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says Russia yesterday proposed a compromise in regard to the Dobrud- scha boundary. The proposal will be referred to the Boundary Commission, Russia has already been notified in two instances that she must accept the decisions of the Commission. ‘THE FAR Kast. A Calcutta despatch says:—‘‘General Maude has re- turned to his quarters from Bazar Valley, having made terms with the chiefs. General Roberts had left Hazarpir for Khurum. Riotous demonstrations had been made in Seistan against the authority of the Persians.”” DISTRESS THROUGHOUT EUROPE. ¢ Ata meeting of the master cotton spinners of Bol- ton and Bolton District yesterday it was resolved to reduce the wages of operatives ten percent. It is said at Liverpool that a few of the striking dock la- borers have submitted to the reduction of wages. Bome additional laborers were obtained from Glasgow and Bristol, and the steamers City of Richmond, for New York, and Hibernian, for Baltimore, were thus enabled to sail as advertised. The majority of the strikers, however, remained firm. Mr. William Rath- bone, member of Parliament from Liverpool, was very fll received when he recommended at a maes meeting to-day arbitration and submission pending the result. The distress among the laboring population of Glasgow is beginning to decrease and the number on the roll of the unemployed is gradually diminished: The number of new applications for relief was lower by 300 for the week ending Feb- rusry 1 than in any preceding week. A number of regular recipients of relief have voluntarily given up their tickets and intimated that they would not require further assistance, as they had found employment. The number on the roll is still about ten thousand. This means that, including their dependents, about thirty thousand persons are still supported by charity, The Voce della Verita of Rome says:—Taking into account the great distress prevailing—greater, in fact, than is generally known—the Catholics of Rome have contributed largely to relieve the dire and noble poverty in which the august Head of the Church is constrained to live.” THR NEW FRENCH CARLE. ‘The Times’ Paris financial correspondent telegraphs that the real position of the Pouyer-Quertier Cable Company js as follows:—The capital is as- sured by the financial group already known, the con- fitions of the constraction contract are fixed and the security for the French concession is already lodged with the government. The correspondent adds that there haye been many false rumors in regard to the company. The Standard gives a rumor that the French Company has agreed merely to lease a Une from the Anglo-American Company. GERMANY AND HER NEIGHBORS, The Standard’s despatch trom Berlin states that at the supplementary election for member of the Reichstag the sovialiat candidate received 6,175 votes, the liberal 6,564 and the conscrvative 2,445, A second ballot is necessary. The government is much an- noyed at tho strength manifested by the socialists. ‘Tho Post's correspondent at Berlin says the propo- sition to permanently confiscate the property of the Duke of Cumberland is strongly disapproved in Han- over, even by stanch adherents of the Empire. The Borlin Germania denies the rumors of ‘an impending concordat between Germany and the Vatican, CABLE ITEMS, Steol & Craig, grain merchants, of Glasgow, havo failed, Their Liabilities are catimated at from £60,000 to £70,000, India Council bills woro allotted yesterday at a Gecline of 1-16d. per rupee.

Ambassador to Russia in place of Lord Augustus Loftus, recalled. Although the Belgian Pilotage office has issued no new report, the navigation of the river Scheldt to Antwerp may now be considered as reopen to all kinds of vessels. A Vienna despatch to the Daily Telegraph says:— “Prince Alexander, of Battenberg, has declined the candidature for the Bulgarian throne.” ‘A despatch from Rome says negotiations between Germany and the Vatican remain in statu quo, but in- fluential personages on both sides are formulating & project which will probably lead to an agreement. ‘The interview at Elvas, between the Kings of Spain and Portugal, on the occasion of the opening of & new railway, took place yesterday, as previously announced to occur, At the conference of the Home Rule League in Dublin, Tuesdiy night, Dr. Butt said he did not know anything ot the intentions of the government as to whether they would bring in the Irish Univer- sity bill, nor what the provisions of the bill might be if they should bring it in.

DOUBTS IN RUSSIA CONCERNING THE POSITION OF THE VEGA—EFFORTS TO DISCOVER HERB— SLEDGE PARTIES ORGANIZED AND NATIVES APPRIZED OF THE DANGER TO THE EXPEDI- ‘TION. (BX CABLE TO THE HERALD.] Benruin, Feb. 5, 1879. The Russian papers are doubting the re- ports of Professor Nordenskjéld’s presence near the East Cape, and express the appre- hension that the Vega has been wrecked on some island of the Siberian Archipelago or on Wrangel Islands, EFFORTS AT RESCUE. Baron Fredericks, the Governor of East Siberia, has informed the Czar that he took all possible measures forthe discovery of the missing expedition. He reports that he organized two sledge parties from Nish- makolomsk and Andyrsk. He also apprised the native tribe of Tchouktschouks of Nor- denskjéld’s perilous position, with instruc- tions to render him and his companions every assistance. THE AMERICAN ARCTIC RXPEDITION. The Russian government, hearing that the American Arctic expedition steamer Jean- nette was ordered to get ready at San Francisco for diligently searching out the whereabouts of Nordenskjild, has abstained expressly from despatching a war vessel from Wladnvostock on a similar mission, CUBA. MARTINEZ CAMPOS SAILS FOR SPAIN. Havana, Feb. 5, 1879. Captain General Martinez Campos sailed for Spain this afternoon. Before embarking he issued a proc- lamation to the citizens, soldiers and volunteers, in which he says the King calls him to a conference on matters relating to the island of Cuba, There are special circumstances connected with the govern- ment of the island which render necessary special laws and regulatiéns. He departs with emotion, although his absence will te only temporary. The proclamation closes by transferring the duties of government temporarily to Vice Governo Cazetano Figueroa. , RUMOR THAT GENERAL MARTINEZ CAMPOS WILL NOT RETURN. Havana, Feb. 1, 1879, Arumor is current that Captain General Martinez Campos will not return to Cuba, and thst in his stead General Ramon Blanco will probably be sent out as Governor General. The reasons given by the rumor for the General's departure are, on one side, a threatened revolution in Spain by some discontented generals there, making the presence of Martinez Campos neces- , as he enjoys the t prestige with the troops and would able to ss them loyal. On the other side it is said that the Ministry in Spain’ is dissatisfied with the General's policy in this country as too high- handed and self-reliant. Since it became known that the General was to embark for 5; gold rose rapidly, and gen thronghout the city. BUSINESS TROUBLES IN NOVA SCOTIA, Hatirax, Feb. 5, 1879. E. Morrison & Co., flour and produce dealers, have suspended. A meeting of their creditors has been called for Friday, the 14th. Their liabilities are es- timated at $120,000 and their assets at $170,000. An extension of timo will probably be asked and granted. Barnaby Healy & Co., commission merchants, have failed. Their liabilities are $7,000 and their as- sets $5,000. Robert Macintosh, sugar dealer, is in financial difficulties, and will likely go into bankruptey. His liabilities are about $40,000, Tho assets are stall, Writs of attachment have been issued against William M. McLeod, a trader of Truro; Philip J. Hogg, shoe dealer, of Lockport; Josoph Townsend, trader of Louisburg, William M. Clough, trader of Port Hastings. Lambert Brothers, furni ture and fancy goods, are in the hands of the Sheriff, aud the creditors are likely to lose largely. RESPONSIBILITY FOR RIOTS. (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] Newpont, R. L, Feb, 5, 1879, In tho State Senate to-day a bill was introduced de- fining the liability of towns and cittes for property destroyed or injured in times of riot, It provides that when property is destroyed the city or town where it was located should indemnity the owner to three-quarters of the value of the property, the same to be recovered by an action in acourt of law. One gentleman, upon moving its passage, said that Rhode Island had a large foreign element, including a great number of ignorant people, who scemed to think, whenever anything went wrong, that the | nd thing to do was to go out and destroy some- y's property, He referred to the great railroad riotin Pennsylvania in support of the bill. Some amendments were offered to the bill to provide that parties whose property had suffered should first ap- ply to the town or city council for settlement before taking it to the courts. The bill was referred to the Judiciary Committee. DEFAULTER ARRESTED. in the premium on excitement reigns Burravo, N. Y., Feb. 6, 1879.

Slaughter of the Animals Sent on the Ontario. PLEURO-PNEUMONIA FOUND. Efforts of the Trade to Pre- vent Prohibition. INVESTIGATION AT WASHINGTON. The Foreign Council’s Order Re- garding Importation. . (BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.] Lonpow, Feb. 5, 1879. 'The slaughter of the cargo of cattle brought by the steamer Ontario, which has been completed at the abattoir in Liverpool, under the supervision of emi- nent veterinary authority specially familiar with pleuro-pneumonia, disclosed the fact that several other cattle besides those previously detected had suf- fered from plouro-pneumonia, and that the disease was of a very pronounced, contagious type. The examiner has returned to London to report to the Vetorinary Department of the Privy Council. ‘The consignment ot cattle by the steamer Iberian, which arrived at Liverpool yesterday from Boston, awaits inspection in quarantine. In the present un- certainty few or no contracts are being entered into. EFFORTS TO PREVENT PROHIBITION, The trade are trying to arrange for the slaughter of cattle at the point of debarkation, Strong represen- tations will be made to the Mersey*Docks and Harbor Board to facilitate this. The ten days’ grace allowed by orders in council are said to be sufficient for the trade requirements, and full guarantees will thus be provided against infection without prohibiting the importation of cattle. Near the North Docks of Liverpool there is, it is claimed, ample room to pro- vide an abattoir for the slaughter of cattle on ldnding. The Royal Agricultural Society, at a meeting to-day, passed a resolution to memoralize the Privy Council to schedule tho United States under the Cattle Disease act. PERMISSION TO LAND CATTLE 10 BE WITH- DRAWN. [BY caBLE TO THE HERALD.) ; Livenroot, Feb. 5, 1879.

AN INVESTIGATION BY THE DISTRICT OF COLUM- BIA COMMISSIONERS—REPORT OF THE HEALTH OFFICER—LETTER FROM SIR EDWARD THORN+ TON—THE FOREIGN COUNCIL'S ORDER RBE- ‘LATING TO CATTLE. [PROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.) Wasuinaton, Feb, 5, 1879. On the 22d and 3ist ult. the Secretary of State, Mr. Evarts, addressed letters to the Board of Commis- sioners of the District of Columbia sotting forth that the British Minister had noticed reports of the prevalence of rinderpest among the cattle of the vis- trict, and asking that investigation be made to ascer- tain whether the reports were trustworthy. REPORT OF THE HEALTH OFFICEI. Tho Commissioners directed the Health Officer, Dr, Smith Townshend, to look into the matter, and that officer to-day reported substantially as follows :— Careful examination of over sixty dairy farms and cow stables fails to reveal the existence of a single animal afilictea with pleuro-pneumonia or other form of disease. In the southeastern portion of the county of Washington, where this disease did pre- vail to some extent, though not in epidemic form, it has disappeared entirely, through the influence of certain measures of isolation, cleanliness and the careful selection of food recommended by this office and pursued by owners of stock. The disease was what might be Game as a mild type of pleuro-pneu- monia, and has, I am confident, ppeared entirely from this section. * On motion, the rt of Dr. Townshend was or- dered to be communicated to the Secretary of State- by whom it will be then transmitted to the British Minister for the information of his government. A copy of the report was accordingly sentto Mr. Evarts to-day. LETTER OF THE BRITISH MINISTER, In connection with this subject the President of the Board laid before the meeting the following paper, being a letter and enclosure from Sir Edward Thorn- ton, the British Minister, originally addtessed to Mr. Evarts, under date of January 27:— Sm—I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 26th inst., and with reference to the inquiry made by the ‘ury Department as to the necessity of transmitting with live animals exported from this country to England a certificate that they are not infected with contagious diseases, I enclose a copy of that part of the order in Council of the 6th ult. which relates to animals imported from the United States. From the terms of this order I do not understand that the above mentioned certificate would be indispensable, although I should preter to consult my yovernment before making positive statement upon the subject, for you will ob- serve that certain conditions—one of which is inspec- tion of the animals on landing—are annexed to thelr ror egg from being slaughtered at the port of Dg. But fshouta at the same time state that I for- warded to the Marquis of Salisbury a copy of the cir- cular from the ‘Treasury Department which you transmitted to mein your note of the 24d inst.) by which collectors of customs were authorized to cause an inspection to be made of all meat cattle proposed to be shipped from United States ports to Great Britain and to issue @ certificate that they are tree from di: In view of this circular and of the statements ot the existence of pleuro-pneumonia among cows in the neighborhood of Washington, which were brought to your notice by Mr. Drum- mond in his note of the 16th inst., it appears to me that it might be expedignt that cattle for export to Great Britain should still for the present be in- spected by collectors of customs and should be tur- nished with a certificate that they are free from con- ious diseases. have the honor to be, with the highest considera- tion, sir, your o t servant, EDWARD THORNTON, ORDER OF THE COUNCIL.

CATTLE TRADE WITH ENGLAND AT A STAND- STILL IN ONTARIO—ANXIKTY CONCERNING THE ACTION OF THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT. ‘Toronto, Feb. 5, 1879. The-cattle trade with Englund at prosont is ata standstill and all is uncertainty anddoubt. When the unfortunate trouble began it was understood that stock woula be received into Liverpool subject to inspection. Latterly, however, doubt was thrown upon the point, and Canadian shippers, acting on ad- vice from their agents, decided not to send any fresh cargoes. The decision of the British government as to scheduling tho United States as an infected coun- try is looked for with some anxiety. Should the de- cision be favorable to the United States the Canadian government will have to undo what it has done in prohibiting for the space of threo months the im- portation of American cattle into Canada or their passage through any port of the Dominion. If this is not done the effect will be to send all the trade to United States ports during that period. CATTLE GOING FORWARD. PonrLann, Me., Feb. 5, 1879. The Dominion Steamship line has 122 head of cattle on the way here from Buffalo, by way of Boston, on account of the importation of cattle into Canada being prohibited. * Several car loads aro on the way by the Grand Trunk Railway, which crossed the Canadian line before the prohibition was issued.

Bostow, Mass., Feb, 5, 1879. General inquiry has been made at the Navy Yard here for 4 confirmation of the rumor that the United States steamer Richmond, which sailed from Brook- lyn about three weeks ago, had foundered at sea. Most of the crew shipped from this vicinity. The ru- mor cannot be authenticated in any way. WAS THE RICHMOND SAFE? (From the Boston Herald, Feb. 5.) Scores of people visited the Navy Yard yesterday to obtuin definite information regarding the rumored loss of the United States steamer Richmond at sea. Great anxiety is felt hereabouts, from the fact that most of the crew and sailors aboard shipped trom this port and Chelsea, and have families and friends in this vicinity. It is reported that the steamer was run down and but six lives were saved, She sailed from Brooklyn about three weeks ago, a week prior to which she was at this yard, where she was con- structed. The Richmond must have been off Gib- raltar, and had on board 500 souls, including a large draft of sailors in addition to her regular crew, to supply other government vessels with. It will be remembered that she is the ship wi the Secretary of the Navy tendered to General Grant and party to take a trip around the world in, and he was to join her at some foreign port. She was reckoned when completed the finest ship in the navy, having the new improved ventilating apparatus aud other modern inventions introduced. She is an old ship fixed over, but is virtually as good as new, the best ot material being used in her construction. It wus decided just before she left the yard to go through the process of taking her centre of gravity, which is now the custom, it having been in vogue some five years. When & new ship is completed she is floated into the dry dock and her centre of gravity taken. If it falls above the metacentre she is liable to cupsize’in a gale of wind, but if below she 1s con- sidered stanch. ‘The Richmond did not have this process performed, although it was talked of, and, if the rumor is true, her disuster may be attributed to the non-performance of this process. Her trial trip was to Brooklyn, und was in every way satistactory. Further particulars are anxiously awaited, but no one at this yard is in possession of any definite in- formation. CARDS AND CLUBS. THE OLD BOYS AND THE YOUNG BOYS OF THE UNION LEAGUE CLUB OF PHILADELPHIA— PROBABLE EFFECT OF THE VOTE AGAINST CARD PLAYING. (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) PuILapELruta, Feb. 5, 1879. The yote last evening by which the Union League Club decided to continue the restriction against card playing was a very close one, the majority in the negative being only thirteen. The significance of the vote lies in the fact that it was a surprise to the card party to find how strong they are and it has been the general talk to-night. ‘The card question has been agitated for some time, as stated in previous de- spatches in the Henatp. The vote was a full one, larger, even, than at the*recent election for officers, ‘The card party did not hope to come so near to vic- tory, and therefore did not canvass for ballots. The bare majority of thirteen by which they were defeated has shown them that they could have won easily had they exerted themselves to bring over the hesitating conservative element, and the end will probably be that the question will again be brought up and the result of another ballot will reverse last night's decision. A very curious thing about this card question, and one which illus- trates the punctilious honor of the gentle- men of the club, is the fact that there is nothing in the bylaws of the club which for- bids card playing, so that, as a matter of right, the members may indulge in that amusement as much as they please. There has never been any card playing at the club, because the younger and more liberally disposed __ voluntarily respected-the wishes of ‘some of the old gentlemen, representing the staid and dignified element, who were opposed to play, however harmless. When the question came up recently the young men offered to put the matter to a vote and then ubide by the de- cision of the majority, although they accepted the unfavorable result as a foregone conclusion. MANY RESIGNATIONS, There have been many resignations of young members from the League within a year, to join morejsociable and attractive clubs, Tho “old boys’? now have everything their own way. MORE INNOVATION, Another question is now saitesing the. club and is being actively canvassed now that there are no graye national emergencies in which the club can make itself felt as & great political power. The question has arisen, Shall the club con- tinue to mingle in city politics and become a local political club, or shall it continue to be & high! respectable merchant's club, without a grand politi- cal work of reform. or any particular mission ? To permit card playing and admit smaller politicians than the rs alrcady enrolled would put more life into the old “ ue,"’ and some of the members say that this is its only salvation in view of the large defections of late.
