TELEGRAPHIC NEWS From All Parts of the World. RUSSO-TURKISH TREATY Bismarck and the Vatican Still at Loggerheads, CHECKING THE PLAGUE. Explanation of the Explosiog on} . the Thunderer. [SY CABLE TO THE HERALD.] Loxvon, Feb, 10, 1879. The Definitive Treaty between Russia and Turkey “ . provides that all the San Stefano stipulations which were modified by the Treaty of Berlin shall remain as modified. The remaining stipulations are Wbandoned in favor of the present treaty, by which the war indemnity is fixed at 800,000,000 paper roubles (3237,000,000), and the settlement is deferred, «The payment for the main- tenance of Turkish prisoners will be by twenty-one instalments, but is not to begin immediately. The examination of the accounts is expected to last two or three years. The Russian evacuation of Turkish territory will be completed forty days after the ratification. of the treaty. The eecretary of Pritice Lobanoff; the Russian. Ambassador at Constantinople, has already started for St. Petersburg with the treaty for ratification, and the various Russian commanders have been notified of its terms. It is said at Constantinople that the Porte has received informtion that the British government will not raise in Parliament the question of guaranteeing a Turkish loan. It is rumored at Athens that unfavorable news has been received from the frontier vogotiators. Ruchdi Pacha, formerly Grand Vizier, has been exiled. . GERMAN POLITICS AND POLICY, The Lower House of the Prussian Diet have read second time the budget for 1879, which now shows the revenue and expenditure balanced, each being esti- mated at 711,500,750 marks. A conference of delegates from chambers of commerce in different parts of the German Empire have expressed an opiniorpainst the customs programme of Princo Bismarck. The Fod- eral Council has adopted the Parliamentary Discip- line bill as modified by the committee. The Prussian Cross Gaztte of Berlin says it is stated in well informed circles that Prince Bismarck has determined to finally settle the Guelph fund question. A despatch from Rome ssserts that the statement relative to an agreement for thé reorganization of the German dioceses ig untrue. So far the various suggestions which have been made by both Germany and the Vatican for settling tho position of the compromised bishops have proved resultless. A despatch in the Post, from Berlin, says the German government does not apprehend any dis- play of irritation from Denmark in regard to the treaty with Austria, but expects rather a proposal for an amicable settlement of the Schleswig question. ‘THE PLAGUE. An official despatch, dated Astrachan, February 8, reports that there are no cases of the plague at Wet- Usnka. A doubtful -case has appeared at Nicalaje- hoski, in the government of Saratoff, 6,000 versts from Astrachan. Several new and fatal cases are reported at Selitreno. General Loris ‘Malikoff arrived at Tzaritzin this morning.’ Troops for the sanitary cordon, convoys, stores, provisions, &c., arecontinually arriving st Tzaritzin. Greeco has established rigorous quarantine both on land and sca, as a precautionary measure against the plague. Count Zichy, the Austrian Ambassador at Constantinople, telegraphs to Vienna that, typhus fever, not the plague, is prevalent near Xanthi, in Thessaly. A despatch to the 7imes, from Berlin, states that in thevillages near Astrachan the popu- lace haye massacred tho doctors, believing that they poisoned their patients. THE LIVERPOOL STRIKE. The police suppressed an attempted riot at Liver- pool on Saturday by promptly attacking a band of 200 men who were marching toward ‘Queen’s dock. Four ‘thousand five hundred more lsborers joined the strike in Liverpool and Birken- head on Saturday—many of them through fear—and 1,500 are expected to join to-day. The sailors on strike have been joined by foreign sailors and the firemen on the ocean steamers, The Mayor, in a proclama- tion, calls on all well-disposed inhabitants to assist in the maintenance. of poace, There was no disturbance at Liverpool yosterday. An additional force of 300 infantry and eighty cavalry arrived to assist, if necessary, in preserving order, ‘The Standard’ correspondent st Liverpool, cati- mates the number of sailors now on. strike at Liverpool at from seven thousand to fifteen thousand. The authorities are arranging for speedy landing, if necessary, of 250 sailors and marines from s man-of-war. There sre now 2,500 engineers on strike in London. , ‘THE CATTLE TRADE. In regard to the importation of cattle from Amer- fca no action of the Privy Council has been made known since the notice read in the Liverpool Town Council on February 5, that cattle cannot bo landed “at the Liverpool docks after March 1 unless provision is made for slaughter on the quay. THE ANGLO-AVGHAN DIFFICULTY. , Adeapatch to the Times from Hazapir says Wali- Mahomed’s presence at Jellalabad is necessary be- cause of the negotiations proceeding between tho government and Yakoob Khan. Mahomed thinks Yakoob will continue to resist until the Ameer is dead. At Candahar five fanatics dashed into the Dritish camp on Thursday and wounded seven men,. Three soldiers were also accidentally shot, ono fatally, dur- ing the disturbance. The fanatics were killed.

The arrival at Queenstown of the dis- abled White Star steamer Celtic, after o rather long voyage aeross,tho Atlantic, has relieved all the anxiety regarding her pas- sengers which her failure to reach port on the appointed date had created. As she was spoken at sea by several vessels, and her position off the Irish coast was known, people experienced in seafaring matters did not question her safety. But the large public, whose ideas of disaster on .the ocean ard always associated with los#of life and property, was gladdened’ by the announcement that the Celtic was at anchor in Cork Harbor. : PREDIOTED STORMS, Another cause of uneasiness was the re- ceipt from the Hzrarp Weather Bureau of predictions of storms that would arrive ‘‘on the British and Norwegian, and probably French, coasts” between the 25th and 30th of January. As if is generally known that these disturbances traverap the ocean over or near the track taken by steamers it was suspected that the Celtic may have been seriously disabled by one of them, and being thus unprepared to encounter the others would be dangerously situated. The storms arrived on these coasts as pre- dicted, and this fact farther increased the public fear. . THE CELTIO'S WEATHER AND SAILING LOG. Immediately on the arrival of the Celtic at Queenstown our local correspondent boarded her and made a copy of her weather and sailing log for the voyage, which is as follows:— The ship left New York at fifteen minutes past eight A. M. on January 24 Wind northeast, moderate, with fog. dauvazy 25.—Wind southerly; weather moderately fine, Ship made 326 miles, Jinvany 26.—Wind north northwest, a moderate gale, with strong squalls, Ship made 340 miles. ‘ January 27.—Wind northwest, a mod- erate gale, with strong snow aqualls, Ship made 348 miles. ~ A CHANGING WEATHER, Janvanr 28.—Wind northeast, _ strong breeze and gloomy weather. Ship made 330 miles, » Janvary 29.—Wind southeast by east, a fresh gale, raising a heavy sea, ‘THE ACCIDENT. At forty minutes after six in the after- noon of the 29th the propeller broke, The sea was ranning very high and tho ship was got under sail to steady her. Jaxvany 30.—Wind northerly, moderate to fresh ; clear weather. Ship made 100 miles. BUNNING TO PORT. From the 30th forward to February 8 the ship was under canvas and experienced variable and northerly and rforthwesterly winds, She behaved well under sail. The best run was made on February 4, 185 miles, “TAKEN IN TOW, The Celtio arrived off the Fastnet Light at twenty-seven minutes after seven on tho morning of the 8th inst., and was taken in tow by the powerful tug Rescue, which had been sent out to mect her by the White Star Steamship Company. She was safely brought to anchor at Queenstown at eleven o'clock the same night. - OFF AGAIN FOR LIVERROOL. After a number of her Irish passengers and tho mails had been landed at Queens- town in the usual way preparations were thade to carry tho ship to Liverpool for re- pairs, Threo powerful tags from the latter port were in readiness to tow herup tho Irish Sea, These were the Rescuc, which brought her from Fastnet Light, the Toiler and the Restless. In tow of these vessels the Celtic proceeded from Queenstown to Liverpool at ten o’clock on Sunday (yester- day) morning. CONVIDENCE OF THE PASSENGERS, The Liverpool passengers of the Celtic wero given an option by the agents of the White Star line to proceed to their destina- | tion by the Britannio or by rail and Chan- nel via Dublin and Holyhead, but they preferred to stay by the Celtic, and have gone with her to Liverpool, FOOD FOR GLASGOW. ‘ Cutcaeo, TIL, Feb, 9, 1879, Adespatch from Omsha says tho citizens of that Place and vicinity have shipped a car load of flour to Glasgow, Scotland, for the relief of the unemployed ‘and distrossed in that city. Free transportation was furnished to New York by the railroad companies, end from there to Glasgow by the Anchor Line Steamship Company. CAPTAIN BOYTON. ARRIVAL OF THE LONELY SWIMMER AT PITIS- BURG-—ENTHUSIASM OF THE PEOPLE—TEN AND A HALF HOURS IN THE WATER. (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] Prrrspura, Pa., Feb. 9, 1879. Captain Paul Boyton arrived here at forty minutes past three o’clock this afternoon, after being in the water since ten minutes past tive in the morning. ‘The demonstration was the grandest that has ever oc- curred in this city or its vicinity. Fully one hun- dred thousand persons witnessed the great Pennsyl- yanian’s entry into thecity,ond the all afternoon the good people of Pittsburg and Allegheny City were shocked at the interruption of the Sabbath by the loud booming of cannons, which were fired all along the line. ‘The entire reserves of the polive force were placed on the riverfront, while Chict Pender and the detective squad looked out for thieves, but the officers were at several poiuts driven into the shallow river, and all attempts to restrain the multitude were useless. Freeport was in a state of ex- citement all last*night, and while the Captain slept hundreds of ladies and gentlemen sat up all night in order to see him start in the morning. Promptiy at four o’clock Boyton was awakened from a feverish sloep, and he immediately began to propare forthe water, A slight repast of eggs and toast was indulged in, and in a few mo- ments the Captain’s form was disguised in his rub- ber voyaging dress, At five o'clock he was carefully making his wy out on the shore ice toward the river, f od «=oby .an immense crowd, who cracked the ice under their feet.. At one bite gave way, and several boys received a cold jucking. The moon was half hidden by the clouds, but enough light was shed to reveal a strange picture. Scores of handsome young village belles crowded around the Captain, who looked anxiously across the dark river at the shore opposite, against which, in bold relief, rose the towering hills for wich the oil regions are famous, ‘THE START. At ten minutes t oe five Boyton took his paddle, and, with a wave of his hand, plunged into the water, which was secthing with the ice. He was followed by cheers that went ringing down the river and were echoed back by the ravines. The lonely swimuier made rapid time, although surrounded by ice, and, reached ‘Tarentum,, about six miles distant, at twenty-five mivutes past seven o'clock. Here it was found that the water had con- gealed over him in the chill early morning and he was frozen almost solid. Tho sun rose soon afterward, and though its glare was unpleasant to the navigator’s eyes, it thawed the ice considerably and gave Boyton a chance for life, Pucketty was passed at twenty minntes past nine, and the “Buckwheats’* ran along the water’s edge and roared out their wel- comes in tones that carried conviction of their earnestness. The people are now beginning to appreciate the sufferings that their ‘water hero” is undergoing, and instead of the “Have sn’thin, Cap'in?” it is now. “God bless you, Cap'in; I'd like to die for you.” No pen can describe the intensity of feeling as it exists hore, and old resi- dents afiirm that Pennsylvania has not been so much excited since the war. The newspaper corps who have bapa ed the oar een) eae along the shore, now row! in a skiff and again signalling special trains for a “lift,” are almost exhausted. wh BREAKING TWO MILES OF ICE, At Hulton Boyton was sighted at. half-past eleven, being two miles in over two hours.

A short distance below Pucketty he struck into a dead water, known as Logan's where the river was frozen from shore to shore. order to continue his voyage he was compelled to break through about two miles of young ice with his paddies, while a terrific mountain wind drove the spray into “his exes in blinding showers, where it froze fast. Added to this it began to snow, and tho agony endured by the bravo voyageur is only known to, pimselt. ~ Just before he led from. shore a despatch was hauded to him in theriver signed by e.

THREE HUKDRED DOLLARS IN MONEY AND TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS IN SECURI- ‘TIES STOLEN. (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) Daxrox, Ohio, Feb, 9, 1879. Last night one of the boldest robberies known in this section of the State was perpetrated at the resi- dence of farmer named Daniel Franz, who lives ten miles’ from the city.

A Party of Cheyenne Bucks on the Warpath. GOING TO SITTING BULL. An Uneasy Feeling at Fort Robinson. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD. Prsz Rive Acryoy, D. T., Feb. 8, } Via Forr Rosinson, Neb., Feky 9, 1879. On January 31a foree of about eighty Cheyenne warriors were mét by # teamster hauling from this place. ‘These Indians were then on Grass Creek, be- tween the Dry Fork and White River, fifty-four miles northeast from here, ‘They had nearly three hundred head of horses, in fine condition, mostly American; “were armed with the latest improved rifles and actu- ally loaded down with ammunition, No travois lodge poles nombaggage accompanied them. MOVING FOR THE CHEYENNE RIVER, They got'what food there was on the ox train and asked for the crossing at the forks of the Cheyenne River, and are undoubtedly moving in that direction. ‘This is, no doubt, the body of Indians under Little Wolf, lately in the Sand Hills, south of Niobrara Biver, near Snake River, which six companies of tho Fifth cavalry started more than a week ago to find. (ALL YOUNG WARRIORS. All of them were young warriors with the excep- tion of four or five older men, Nosquaws were seen in the party. They had quantities of dry meat and ammunition in brackets, on their arms and “every place they couid put it. An old frontiersman Here named Dillon says that they aro bound by the old Cheyenne trail, leading north through the Red Water Creek and Belle Fourche country, and are evidently on their way to join Sitting Bull. ¥ NO DOUBT OF A WAR, No one in this section regards the reported over- tures of the latter as portending peace in the spring. Preighters say that there will certainly be a war, and the young bloods will make it. I have followed Dull Knife, chief of the lately annihilated fighting Chey- ennés, to this agency, where he arrived with his wife and young son. He left here several days ago for Spotted Tail’s agency, doubtless to mect the above reported war party. PROVESSED IGNORANCE. Neither Red Cloud nor other principal Ogallala chiefs whom your correspondent has questioned about the knowledge of Dull Knife, sinco arrived here, admit that they were awaro of if. A Sioux In- dian was met near where the Cheyennes crossed Pass Creek, which would seem to indicate that the move- ments of the latter are known to both tho Ogallala and Brule Sioux. A MASKED MOVEMENT. Tho request of these tribes tolond sor ° of their young men north to bring back their people now with Sitting Bull is thought here to be a masked movement to get some warriors out on the warpath to join a fighting force when the grass grows. No one thinks that Sitting Bull’s following’ will be content to leave a game country to go on ® reservation where thero is no hunting. Ho will try for a location in tho Belle Fourche coun- try, butit is thought ho may be offered the Missouri River location only to be rejected. “Quirr” INDIANS PUTTING ON WAR PAINT. | The Indians are quiet here, but counselling to~ gether a good deal and putting on occasional streaks of black pajnt. The leading chiefs and principal men say their hearts are good. Old campaigners and freighters are unhesitating in their conviction that war partics will start out in the spring. Nightly dances to tell deeds of valor and howling over the loss of the Cheyennes are kept up within s stone’s throw of the agency. THE AMERICAN PRINT WORKS.

The cable announces the death, in Paris, yaster- day, of Louis Frangois Nicolaic, better known ‘as Clairville, the French dramatje author, in the sixty-ninth year of his age. He was born ‘at Lyons, January 28, 1811, of theatrical parents. His father, on quitting his fam- ily to go upon the stage, changed his name and took that of Clairville, under which his son has become knewn. He passed his youth behind the scenes of the Luxembourg Theatre, where he made his first appearance at the ago of, ten years, and of which hie father was then the director. As he grew up he became immensely useful to his managerial parent, playing small part« and helping behind the scenes. in’ every imaginable capacity. But he longed to be an author, and in 1820, when only eighteen years old, he produced his first piece and became the principal purveyor of ‘his father’s theatre. In 1836, when he sought the larger stage of the Ambigu, he had already produced © number of pieces, of which only called “Fourteen Years; or, The Lifo of Napo leon,” has been printed. ‘His firgt piece at the Ambigu was a review of the yeur, entitled “Eighteen Thirty-six in the Moon.” From this time forward, until death overtook him, he did not cease writing for the stage, and the bare cata logue of his pieces, mostly’ written in collabora- ion with other writers, would too cs extraordinary; ‘lis. roviewn,_feeric fecundity was extraot 3 reviews, i vaudevilles and operettas number uearly two hundred In spite of the rapidity with which he composed, these pieces are remarkable for the facility, dash, gayety—at on bduffoonery—ingenious couplets, transparent allusions to persons and events, and bold equivoques, These qualities pin see account for the success which almost in y attended him at the class of theatres for which he Cag Sonal but, in the single case of “La Fille de e Angot,” he excelled all his prevjous efforts in popular sense.

The “Octet,” by Rubinstein, for piano, violin, viola, violoncella, double bass, flute,-clarinct and horn, which opened the evening's performance and which brought Mr. Franz Rummel to the piano, with Messrs. Arnold, Grama, Werner, Lowack, Weiner, Boehm and Picper to the other instruments named, is in four move- monts, namely, allegro non troppo, vivace, andante non troppo and allegro moderato. It shows in the piano part all that mastery of the keyboard which Rubimetein’s mame implies, and which leads him to emphasize his favorite instrument so much that the others have a comparatively small share in the performance. In the andante, how- ever, Which is pervaded by a delici: melody, ex- quisitely sh: effects) of tone are drawn Heth by subtle combinations of the other instru. ments. The closing movement calls for really hard work from. the pianist, to-which Mr. Rifimmel re- sponded hatldsomel: cacy of touch that the composition, Later in the evening Mr. Rummel played with per- fect finish Liszt's “Venezia e oi.” Mr. Richard ‘Arnold, the violinist, played with brilliant effect two gypsy ‘melodies by Pablo Sarasate, who is at present playing in Europe. Mr. Arnold is a most ‘promising pertormer, and may by and by tako a much higher place in his art. An old maestro who was listening to him last evening deplored Mr. Ar- old's love of pizzicato and such resources for effect ~as the sourdina, “Butif the music is written pizzicator”’ ‘«-Phat is it; he is drawa to such pieces; the tendency is too strong for him to resist.” This bit of profes- sioual criticism needs no comment. | Verb. sap. Schumann's “Evening Song," Beethoven's Turkish gmarch from the “Ru of Athens,” wirich Rubin- tein made so popular here on the piano; Bazzini's string quartet, No.2, inG@ ntinor, and Baccherini’s minuct were given by the instrumentalists of the Philharmonic Club with a nicety leaving litde to be desired, Miss Laura Schirmer, a good looking young lady from Boston, and of German descent, was the . vocalist of the evening. She has a light, mezzo- woprano voice of much sweetness ‘in the ‘aizher notes when she sings piano, but which anil not bear forcing. Sho evidently suffered from a cold, as who does not just now, and to this we are fain to attribute her fwilure to make a high staccato note audible in the “Vedrit Carino,” which else she sang pleasingly: Sho was warmly yoy and sang “Mia Piccirella,” by Gomez, the Brazilian composer, for an encore. She also sang Spolir’s «Die Rose” and Raff's “Serenade” within the same Timits of success. GYAND OPERA MOUSE-—VOCAL AND LNSTRUMEN- TAL CONCERT.

Miss Markstein, the pianist, played with her accustomed grace, but it is evident it ‘will be along time before she can vie with the chief representatives of her art, Nevertheless, she will always be pleasing. Signors Susini and Tagliapictra are old favorites with the music lovit portion of the public, and the former lost none of the good im- pression heretofore made by his performance last evening. The latter, however, was sutfering from & severe cold, and being unable to appear in the “Liberty Duet,” from “Puritai as announced, his place was filled by Miss Selvi, who sang “Kathleen Mavyourneen.” For one of her encores De Murska gave “Old Folks at Home.” !HE STAGE,” REPETITION OF MISS ANNA DICKINSON'’S LEC= TURE AT THE FIFTH AVENUE THEATRE LAS? EVENING—A THEATRICAL AUDIENCE, ‘The dreariness of a Sunday night to that numerous ungodly class of people who systematically stay away from evening church services and yearn for outdoor amusement rendered it quitecertain that the repetition of Miss Anna Dickinson's lecture on “The Stage’ at the Fifth Avenue Theatre last evening would attract a very large audience. Miss Dickinson's unlooked for defence of the stage—all the more sur- prising from one who might be reasonably thought to have no cause for particular elation or enthusiasm over her brief personal acquaintance with it—had caused quite s ripple of gratification among theatri- cal people, and it was confidently expected that the representatives of the stage would return the, compliment by their presence upon this occasion, This expectation was not disappoint and the Fifth Avenue ‘Theatre was crowde with one of the oddest audiences ever assem! within its walls. It was not altogether e theatrical audience, although the stage, the munager’s office and the box office were all wall represented; but there was a general flow of metropohtan Bo- hemianism ngled with® this unmistakable theatrical element. Politicians, Uierati, male and A female, ‘soc quidnunes and “firs ni ra” were = out Tespectable force, diamonds glittered and resplendent scarfs were plentiful throughout the rium. One strange feature of the audience struck the ob- server immediately—there were more smooth shaven ery y faces and more feminine heads displaying of a bright burning gold than were bably ever scen together at a theatre. "Ps jovalne rise was descried close by Solon Shingle; the beamingly undulated presence of John Gilbert contrasted with the cadaverous, gaunt and hungry look of Oliver Doud Byron, and the stately tragedian, the elegant comedian, the flash variety dancer and the doletully solemn munstrel clown—who cver saw a minstrel whose lugubrious regen 4 of appearance did not correspond in a fair ratio with the measure of his fun?’—spread them- selves with cqual freedom through the orchestra.
