All Europe Quarantining Against . the Russian Plague, DESTROYING LIVERPOOL TRADE. [BY CABLE 10 THE HERALD.) Lonpon, Feb. 13, 1879. The German Reichstag was yesterday opened by the Emperor William in person. In his speech from the throne he said that he thanked the members for assisting in the suppression of the socialist agita- ‘tion, and hoped they would continue to support the government as far as was necessary for the cnre of the socialistic evil. He referred with pleasure to the friendly relations with Austria and the results of the Berlin Congress. He declared that the relations between Germany and all other Powers are sat- isfactory, and that she would continue to use her influence in behalf of European peace, The-Emperor referred to the plague in Russia. He said the latest reports justify the hope that the ener- getic measures of the Russian government will shortly suppress the epidemic, when traffic on the fronticr will be restored on the neigh- borly footing which befits friendly coun- tries. Referring to the customs policy of the government, the Emperor said:—“Our com- merce has o right to claim that protection which: legislation regarding customs taxes can af- ford, and which is afforded, perhaps, beyond what is necessary in countries with which we trade, My duty is to prescrve a German market for articles of home production. We should” revert to the well tried principles which we, in our com- mercial policy since 1865, have abandoned.” Clause S'of the Treaty of Prague was, he said, abrogated to put an end to the uncertuinty of the people of North Schleswig respecting their future destiny.” Tho Emperor's speech closed with the following sen- tence:—‘‘Tho promotion and developmentof friendly relations with and among the Powers is the task to which should be devoted the great power achieved by German unity.” Among the measures enumer- be in the speech was the Parliamentary Discipline ¢ BUSSIA ON TURKISH TERRITORY.

RECKLESS STRIKERS RUINING TRADE. ‘Trade at Liverpool is quite paralyzed by the strike, q@hich has now extended to the carters and the whole body of carpenters, some of whom were already on strike, The strike among the sailors has become moro general, and great difficulty is experienced in obtaining crews, savo at considerably increased rates. Yesterday several ships were awaiting crows, but the men were firm. It is stated that there aro thirty-five grain-laden ships at Queenstown, and that the owners do not know where to send them, Meanwhile the grain may be heafing im the vessels’ holds and rendered valucless. ‘There are many reports of intimidation by dock laborers and others to prevent men from working until the dispute is settled. The British and African Company's steamship Lualaba, which was to have sailed for the West Coast @ Africa on Thursday last, has not yet left her dock. Tho agents promise the men protection in the dock, but the men say they require protection outside also, The Cunard Com- pany havo all their vessels in tho Huskisson dock, which is enclosed, and havo provided within the dock walls accommodation for the mon brought from Glasgow. The local authorities maintain strict supervision with the polico and mil- tary, aud none but people on business are allowed within the enclosure along the whole lino of the docks, At the mecting of the shipowners’ committeo and the strikers’ delegation yesterday the former proposed to pay the old wages, provided tho day's work shall be one hour longer.

While some few medical men are of opinion that the unusual prevalence of colds this winter origin- ated in something like Cyprus fever, the great ma- jority of the doctors here believe that there is no such thing in this country as Cyprus fever.

Willing to Secure Power and ' Truckle to England. SHERE ALT. Royally Received at Tashkend, but Ignored at St.Petersburg. RUSSIAN NEUTRALITY. General Kaufmann Reveals the Key to the Situation. > [BY CABLE ‘To THE HERALD.] Tasuxenp, Feb. 10, 1879. * Abdul Akman, a nephew of Shere Ali, hearing of the Ameer's expected arrival, has come to Tashkend from Samarcand, where he has been living for the past eight years, tosee General Kaufmann. In con- versation with the General he prophesied that Yakoob Khan would soon usurp his father’s throne. Kaufmann replied that Yakoob had been publicly presented by his father to the people of Afghanistan as his heir, and that he daily sent reports to the Ameer during the journey of the latter to Turkestan. A general discussion of the affairs of Cabul was then begun and the fol- lowing transpired: — ¥aKOOB SEEKING BEVENGE. Aspun Axmax—Yukoob Khan sends in- formation and reports to secure his father’s confidence and to make sure that the Ameer will not retrace his steps. He is prepared to betray his father in order to make a treaty advantageous to himself. General Kiurmanx—But he detests the English: 5 Azspun Axman—True; but he does not forget the four years he spent in prison throggh the cruelty of Shere Ali. General Kaufmann declares his inten- tion, on the arrival of Shere Ali, of bring- ing these two adversaries of former times face to face at his table. A ROYAL BECEP/ION FOR SHERE ALL Preparations have been made to receive Shere Ali with all the honors due his per- son and rank. He will be met on the fron- tier by the Governor of Russian Circum- scription, and as he proceeds the authori- ties of the country will welcome him and swell his cortége. On his approach to Tashkend the prefects of the province and city will present themselves, and General Kaufmann's aides-de-camp will accompany him and keep the Ameer and the General in constant communication and at the same time attend to all the Ameer’s require- ments, When the Ameer makes his.formal entry the Tashkend garrison will line the streets, salutes will be fired, and he will be conducted to the residence provided for him in state, General Kaufmann will visit him immediately. Then will follow a series of fétes and entertainments, A DELICATE SITUATION, Up to this point all will probably go well, but if the Ameer persists in carrying out his intention of going to St. Petersburg it will require all Kaufmann’s diplomacy to alter Shere Ali's decision without offending him, for the Czar will not consent to re- ceive him. The wandering prince is ex- tromely stubborn and very sensitive, and does not seem to understand that there exists the least objection to his plans. If, after all the courtesies and consideration of the Russians here, he should still attempt to force his way to Europe, it might become the unpleasant duty of General Kaufmann to retain him by force, a circumstance that would seriously complicate mutters, RUSSIA AND AFGHANISTAN, ° Thad a conversation with General Kauf- mann yesterday regarding the situation. I suggested the possibility of Yuakoob Khan dethroning his father, and asked what then would be the course of Russia. The Gen- eral replied that the Ameer from the posi- tion of sovereign would descend to that of pretender. This would no more disturb Russia than had previous usurpations of the Afghan throne. The following. inter- view then occurred:— Heratp Cornzsroxpent—But supposing that Yakoob Khan in usurping the throne makes a treaty with England, by which the latter will be entitled to keep a diplomatic agént at Cabul while yours has been sent away, will you then demand that Russia shall be represented near the throne of the new sovereign? WILL RISPECT ENGLISH TREATIES, General Kavemaxyn—No. We have o treaty with England which prohibits us from interfering with the affairs of Afghan- istan, and we shall respect it. ‘ Henatp Corresronpent—Then why was the Rasgonoff Embassy sent to Cabul? General Kavemaxn—When thatEmbassy left for Cabul the cards seemed likelyyto be disturbed Fad between England and Russia. | We assumed the initiative in order to be xeady tor every event, Besides, we have dope nothing that is not reguiar ; a visit to a neighbor—nothing more. All tliat has been alleged beyond that is false. THE CZAR WILL NOT INTERFERE, + Henarp Cosnesponpent—If the English were certain of that they would advance more boldly. General KavrMinn—You are quite right. And it annoys them all the more, for they can only arrive at a solution of the Afghan question by occupying the whole of the country, including Herat, and that will take them a long time. Henatp Connesronpent—Will you allow them to do this? General Kavrmanx—Certainly, unless a European war should break out in which England and Russia should not be on the same side. Besides the Emperor, who can decide as to the future? VERDICT FOR PLAINTIFF. ‘TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR BLIGHTED HOPES OF MARRIAGE—HOW THE JURY AVERAGED THE DAMAGES. ‘ [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) Baxrimony, Feb. 12, 1879. At the opening of the Superior Court this morning as large an assemblage of spectators as on the pre- ceding day was present to hear the verdict in the breach of promise case of O'Neill vs. Brogan. Tho jury after the adjournment of yesterday consulted, and it is learned wore seven in favor of a verdict for the plaintiif and five for defendaut. Those in the majority differed in their estimate as to the damage to the heart of the fair plaintiff by the perverse con- duct of the defendant in not bestowing upon her all of his worldly possessions in return for her hand and undiyided heart. 6no juror reached as high as $800. Several were content to give ono cent damages, which would have carried with it the costs, while the others named sums ranging between the highest and lowest. Finally, the entire jury were brought to a unit by one of them arguing that the testimony of Mrs, Murphy, who, with Jacob O’Brien, nephew of Brogan, way a witness for the defendant, that Brogan had gone on a certam day to his own house to prepare to go to the house of plaintiff, so as to be married,’ was conclusive that there was 4 pre- vious Sereement between the parties. Acting on this consideration of the testimony the jury agreed on the sum of $200 as their verdict. This mor! the verdict was opened by the Court and announce by the Clerk. Some surpriso was manifested by tho defendant and his friends, as they had confidently expected that it would have been in their favor. SUICIDE BY HANGING. _ [BY TELEGRAPH To THE HERALD.) Exxgston, N. ¥., Feb. 12, 1879. Joseph H. Westbrook, a prominent citizen of Mill Hook, Ulster county, was found hanging dead in his barn yesterday afternoon. About thirtecn years ago Mr. Westbrook showed signs of insanity produced by disease, He was taken to an asylum, and in a short time returned us cured, and since has been in good health until about a week ago, when his family noticed that ho exhibited si of uneasiness; butthe disturbance was not sufficient to arouse their suspi- cions or to cause them to expect the sad occurrence. For several years ho held the office of justice of the peace and practiced law. He was connected with one of the oldest tamilies in the county, being a brother of Messrs. Frederick L. and Jacob Westbrook, at- torneys, of this city, and a eousin of Judge T. R. Westbrook. He was about sixty-eight ycars of age. He leaves a wife and family in comfortable circum- stances.

Bond, a prominent young lawyer, was shot and fatally wounded by his cousin, James Bond, Jr. The affray occurred at a sale of property in which both persons were interested,Frank Bond bidding on o part of it that James Bond wished to buy.

After shooting his cousin James Bond attempted to take his own life by shooting himself in the hoad, the all entering behind the'right ear and ranging for- ward under the scalp. HIS LAST DAY. . [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] CLEVELAND, Ohio, Feb. 12, 1879. Charles R. McGill, the murderer of Mary Kelley, is passing s quiet, sloepful night, in spite of the doom of the morrow. He spent his last day on earth in reading the Bible, singing hymns, praying and con- versing, being visited by Rev. Lathrop Cooley, his pastor, who is to be with him at his death, his legal counsel and reporters. McGill said in mee of the Hxenaxp representative, ‘‘I feel that I am traly penitent for my crime, and I trust God understands and will forgive; am sure He will.” A request was made by him to be allowed to inspect the*scaffold, which was done, McGill remarking. after critically examining it, “I am a mechanic, und think this a nice job.” The scaffold was tested this afternoon and found to work to a charm. The smallest num- ber of persons at any execution in Ohio for a long time will be present to-morrow noon, as the Sheriff is living up to the letter of the law, except as regards newspaper men.

AY, FEBRUARY 13, 1879.-TRIPLE SHEET. HOSTILE CHEYENNES. ER Pursuit of the Missing IHos- tiles Continued. THE TRAIL GROWING OLD Robbery of Ranches and Mur- der of Ranchmen. FAIR PROSPECTS FOR AN INDIAN WAR. ieneenrmmnnd [By TELEGRAPH TO THE 41ERALD.] Camp Near Sanp Hints, Sourn or Camp Suxnrpay, Feb. 10, via Fort Roprisoy, Neb., Feb, ,12, 1879. Tho movements of the missing band of hostile Cheyennes under Dull Knife still remains a mystery too great for solution by even the most vigorous in- tellect in the small military force having the pur- suit in charge. A visit by your correspond ent to this locality, where it was re ported they were secreted and organizing for more extended forays, has only demonstrated that the operations against the. Indians are of the blun- dering and tardy character which has characterized them from the beginning, and that the running off of stock, with the occasional variety of butchering a settier by the Indians, continues without material in- terruption. OPERATIONS OF THE HOSTILES. The summary of information obtaincd is meagre and may be summed up as follows:—It will be remembcred that some weeks ago Mr. G. T. Newman, a cattle man, who has a ranch on Niobrara River, near Boy Butte Creek, came into Fort Robinson with his foreman, Mr. Chalk, and reported that a large trail of Indians, with about three hundred horses, had been discovered on Snake River at 4 point about thirty miles south of the Niobrara, near Boardsman Fork, where fresh water, good pasture and some fuel could be had. For some days following the locality was’ scouted over without result and- the officers at Fort Robinson differed in their opinions as to whether it was Littlo Wolf, a baud of White Horse’s thieves or some marauding Sioux from Spotted Tail’s camp. The suspected location is about sixty’ miles from Pine Ridge Agency and After considerable delay a detachment of six cotm- panies of the Fifth United States cavalry were sent out from Fort Russell and vicinity to reconnoitre the Sand Hills and find the secreted Cheyennes if any there were, though it was thought to be a wild goose chase, and such it proved to be, as the Indians, whoever they were, have cluded pur- suit and slipped off without molestation, and are now probably hundreds of miles away in their flight, and perhaps safely lodged in the Belle Fourche country, on their way to. the Powder River. MOVEMENT OF THE TROOPS. Your correspondent found the cavalry groping their way in the vicinity quitted by the Cheyenyes and on their trail, but some days behind them, en- tirely unable to reach’ the fugitives owing to the ex- ceedingly intractable nature of the country im which they are and the superior ani- mals of the Cheyennes. It is a literal im- possibility to make rapid progress through the country in which they are, owing to the sand, and, besides, there is no grazing of much account. The ‘grain used by the horses has to be | carried on pack mules, and as much ‘cannot be carried in this way the cavalry horses are reduced to short forage, and already the supply is nearly exhausted. The route taken by the Cheyennes seems to have been a little east of north up to the point where they were encountered near White River by Wetherdil’s train on January 31, on its way to the Missouri River, which: escaped molestation fur- ther than being robbed of its provision’. From there the course of the Cheyennes will be northwest ‘and northerly. The troops are doing the best they can, but both officers and men are very much dis- gusted with their mission. MURDERS AND ROBBERIES, Before leaving the neighborhood of the Niobrara, where they recuperated themeelves and got together some three hundred of the best horses in the coun- try, the Cheyennes were not content to depart without leaving some mark of their revenge-. ful nature. They proceeded up the valley of Snake River to near its mouth, and thero cruelly murdered, fn cold blood, Mr. Frank Moore- head, James Asbaugh and two men known respect ively as Buster and Sam. The truth of this was es- tablished to-the satisfaction of your correspondent upon meeting Mr. G. T. Newman, last night, | been 4 7 ‘nutter enmity toward them when mentioned. They tecl that they have a grievance to redress on account of their taking, as (hey say, their country and not paying them enough. A LEGISLATIVE QUARREL, Loursvitie, Ky., Feb. 12, 1879. An exciting episode occurred in the Prisom Investiguting Committee room at Jeffersonville, Ind, during the examination of one of thé witnesses, namel Thompson, who was reported to have stated that convicts in the prison bad dressed in citizen's clothes and sen§ out to vote against the republicans, and afters ward returned to prison and resumed their convict garb. Captain Carter, of the Legislative Investigating Committes, denied that the man was his witness, inasmuch as Thompson pronounced the story false, stating that in talking with Dr? Newman ho hal used the expression merely as a joke. Carter's denial of knowl- edge of this witness icited sharp comment from Mr. Willard, To this Carter replied, accusing Mr. Willard of misrepresenting and acting as an uttorney agaiust the State whose rights he hw sworn to protest. are a damned liar Willard respoaded, “You eated it two or three “ud if you say this,” and times, when Carter tw for him with clenched ists.

It has been urged by the military that the groat chief of the Cheyennes, Dull Knife, was killed. He is considered by the Northern Cheyennes as their foremost general and tactician, though quite old and debilitated from diseaso, Your corres pondent believing he was alive has pursued his inquiries porsistently since his flight from the guard at Fort ftobinson on the night of the outbreak, and I am able to say that he is alive and recuperating, though very feeble. I havo also ascertained the spot where the lodgo is in which he is now resting, and the manner of his reaching there as well as tho Sioux warrior who received him and under whose care he now is, I have also had an interesting inter- view with Littl Big Man, who is reported to have killed more men than any warrior among the Sioux, and who is preparing for the war path, an account of which, as well as details about Dull Kuife, I am obliged to defer until to-morrow Owing to the lateness of the hour and the necessity of sending forward this despatch, FEELING AMONG THE SIOUX, The troops probably will not pursue the escaped Choyennes across the reservation of the Sioux, which is the route they bave shrowdly taken. It is thought that such action would provoke hostilities from the young bucks in Spotted Tail’s band and furnish them a good excuse, which it is alleged they covet, for assuming a warlike attitude, Tho habitués of Indian camps say that some of the Sioux have been co-oper- ating with tho Cheyennes now out, and that the half breeds and white squaw men have been furnishing thom ammunition and keeping them advised of the movements made by the troops. INDIAN WAR THREATENED, ‘The opinion still prevails among the best informod persons I have seen in Red Cloud’s and Spotted 'Tail’s camps, as well as in my journeying through this belt of country, that there will be an Indian war in the spring, and that tho theatre of it will be im the vicinity of the Black Hills, against tho settlers of which locality almost all the Indiuns swear vengeance or every club of ten or more.
