TELEGRAPHIC NEWS From All Parts of the World. AMNESTY TO COMMUNISTS. Passage of the French Government’s Bill by a Great Majority. DESCRIBING THE PLAGUE coneneeetal Recent Troubles at Cairo Incited by the Khedive. GERMAN AND ‘TURKISH F ANCES, [BY CABLE 10 THE HERALD. 4 Loxpon, Feb. 22, 1879. A Paris despatch to the Times says:—‘‘The discus- sion of the Amnesty bill in the Chamber of Deputies on Thursday was exceedingly commonplace.” The flebate was, however, resumed yesterday. M. Marion argued that if it was proposed to leave the Ministry of the 16th of May untouched a full and complete amnesty must be granted. An amendment offered in this sense, however, was tejected. M. Clemenceau supported M. Louis Blanc’s pro- posal for a plenary amnesty, arguing that the gov- ernment bill, by granting partial amnesty, tended to perpetuate oppression. M. Blanc’s proposal was then rejected by a vote of 968 to 105. M. Gatineau’s amendment granting complete am- nesty to all except assassins, incendiaries and persons who had been criminally convicted previous to the Commune, was also rejected, although supported by the radicals, on the ground that‘the government's bill unconstitutionally tratisferred the power of the Chambers to grant amnesty to the Executive. Several other amendments were rejected. The government's bill was finally adopted bya vote of 340 yeas to 99 nays. ‘The Bonapartists voted with the majority. A Paris despatch to the Times says:—*Prince and Princess Hohenlohe received at the German Embassy at Poris on Thursday a company which included President Grévy, M. Gambetta, the Duke d’Aumale (the representative of the Orleans Princes), General Fleury and other distinguished Bonapartists, ex- officers and secretaries of ex-President MacMahon’s Cabinet, Ministers, foreign Ambassadors and Senators and Deputies of all shades of politices.’” THE KASTERN PLAGUR. At the sitting of the Imperial German Medical Bocicty at Berlin yesterday Dr. Virchow delivered a lecture on the plague, declaring that the epidemic prevailing in Astrakhan is the Eastern plague. He said the measures adopted by the German govern- ment .were.of too general a character. Attention should be prineipally directed to the necessity of placing the Russian army. returning from Turkey under medical inspection. ‘The plague was not more serious than the cholera, ‘The sick should be isolated and placed in healthy localities. No Boubt the plague was contagious, but it was not tnown how the contagion was propagated. On ac- dount of the ignorance upon this point it would be Aifficult to give an exact list of articles the importa- tion of which should be prohibited. The lecturer expressed the opinion that the most effective modo of disinfection was by dry heat. The sanitary cordon of troops along tho Roumanian frontier has not yet been completed. General Melikoff telegraphs to St. Petersburg that not a single case of epidemic illness exists throughout his jurisdiction. ‘he military cordons isolating different villages have been abolished. The general cordon only is retained. The Official Gazette, of Berlin, contirme General Melikoft’s favorable report, and says it is believed that after ten days the northern portion of Astrakhan may be safely declared relieved from quarantine, as it will then have been free from sickness for forty-two days. The Russian papers, however, continue to report epidemics, especially diphtheria, of which they say 700 persons have died in the village of Vakoff. The Odessa Gazette states that during the last three years 6,628 persons have died of diphtheria in the districts of Mirgorod and Poltava. The Noroe Vremya reports that there has been a death from Siberian plague in the St, Nicholas Hospital at St. Petersburg. THE KURDIVE'S LITTLE GAME, A cipher telegram from Cairo received at Paris Bay: ‘The Khedive, displeased at the refusal of the Cabinet to fulfil the engagements of the previous Min- istry and its failure to meet his demands concerning the civil list, incited the disbanded officers against the Ministers, in order that the disturbance might Jead to his resumption of personal rule.” Tranquillity has been restored at Cairo. It is stated that the Khedive’s son, Prince Mohammed ‘Tewfik, heir ap- parent to the throne, will succeed Nubar Pacha as the Egyptian Premier. THK DOBRUDIA QUESTION. The Powers have decided to refer the Dobrudja boundary question to the Ambassadors at Constanti- nople, The Austrian government, before assenting to this arrangement, insisted that the decision of the majority must be accepted as final, to which the Rus- sian government agreed. TURKISH FINANCES, Safvet Pacha, the Turkish Ambassador at Paris, has telegraphed to the Porte that M. Waddington, Minis- ter of Foreign Affairs and President of the Council, assured him that he would support the scheme for the conversion of the claims on the conditions of the co-opera- tion of the Ottoman Bank and an agreement between the English and French governments. M. Wad- dington added that as soon as the International Commission is invested with the administration of the customs a group of bankers, headed by the Otto- man Bank, would make advances for the partial or complete withdrawal of the caimes and concert the measures required for the conversion of the Turkish debt. Neither France nor England has yet appointed commissioners for the administration of the customs under the De Tocqueville scheme, Tho Director of the Ottoman Bank bas had an interview with the Grand Vizier, when a plan proposed by the bank was discussed, Negotiations continue, BARRING AMERICA OUT. ‘The Agricultural Society of Franco at a meeting yor- terday unanimously adopted a resolution requesting the government to follow the example of England in prohibiting the importation of live American cattle. ‘The Italian government has prohibited the importa- tion of American swine or any proparation of their flesh, as a procaution against trichinosis.

The present rates aro forty- two and twenty marks respectively. During a de- bate in the Reichstag yesterday on the treaty of com- merce between Germany and Austria Prince Bis- marck said he was not altogether opposed to treatics of commerce, but every such engagement must pro- vide protection for home industries. Ho fully sup- ported the commercial views presented in the speech from the throno, He had no wish to deny that he had changed his views on this subject, but in former times he had been influenced by NEW _YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, the importance of preserviag oT atahtp with France and preventing Austria from disrupting the Zollverein. Even now he should prefer to con- fine himself to a few customs duties; but he cited the opposition to the tobacco project to show that’ this was impossible. He could afford to leave pos- terity to decide between himself aad his financial critics, At the second ballot at Breslau yesterday for mewbers of the Reichstag, Herr Freund, progressist, was elected, ving 8,959 votes, while Herr Kraccker, socialist, had 7,544, Prince Bismarck’s speech in the Reichstag yester- @ay was very coldly received.

Count Stolberg-Wernigerode yesterday closed the Prussian Diet.

Macdonald said the law as it now ox- isted clothed the government with sufficient authority to prevent the introduction of this disease so fur as the most rigid quarantine could cflect that object. ‘There was therefore no necessity for their hands to be strengthened by a vote of this House. It was the duty of the government to carry out the law, and more especially in the presence of # threatened dun- ger of this kind. Canads was protected by the quar- antine regulations of the Western nations of Europe, which had taken rigid steps to prevent the spread of the disease outwardly by the broad Atlantic, aad by our own quarantine laws. ‘The government Would see thut these regulations were carried out to the utmost extent and with the utmost promptitude, Inaddition we were protected by steps taken Ly the United States and there was little danger of this fatal disease reaching us.

VIEWS OF CALIVORNIA MERCHANTS ON THE COMMERCIAL ASPECTS OF HE PROPOSED EX- CLUSION OF MONGOLIANS. San Francisco, Feb, 21, 1879, ‘The Posi this evening publishes interviews with a number of leading business men on the subject of the Chinese bill now under consideration in Con- gress: Frederick L, Castle, of Castle Brothers, thought the commercial relations between this country and China would not be affected in the least by the adop- tion or rejection of the bill, Eastern merchants know nothing, said he, of the Chinese question on this coast, and what they say is not entitled to serious consideration, William ‘I, Coleman said China would suffer far more than the United States by restriction of com- merce between the two countries. ‘The cry of East- ern merchants that the passage of the bill will work injur> to this country by disorganizing commercial relations with China is entirely without cause. If China were to be blotted out as acountry baving friendly commercial relations with the United States Tshould still insist on the passage of the bil. William A. Macondray, of Macondray & Co., said he had not yet made up,his mind whether the sdop- tion of the anti-Chinese bill would interfere with the commercial relations between the two countries. He said, however, that with very few exceptions ail ships with cargoes of Chinese products are loaded at Hong Kong, and, of courso, any description of friendly relations between China and the United States would not interfere with the relations existing between China and Great Britain and her colonies. The pro- ducts ot China would therefore continue to find their way to Hong Kong for shipment. He thought ship- ping interests would suffer to the extent that steamers would not pay without passenger traffic, and would have to be withdrawn. Horace P, Fletcher, of Shettuck & Fletcher, who has for several years been connected with a‘ large American commercial house in China, scouted the idea that our trade relutions with that country could be affected in the slightest degree by our prohibition of Chinese immigration, He said the Chinese were the last people in the world to be affected by senti- mental notions, They would buy goods where thoy could get them cheapest, and sell thom where they could get the highest price, despite any political ac- tion on our part. THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FAVOR THE BILL. George C. Perkins, president of the Chamber of Commerce, stuted that several prouinent members had suggested that the Chamber should meet as soon us possibie to give voice to their sentiments regard- ing its passage aud to draw up a resolution to be forwarded to President Hayes.
