TELEGRAPHIC NEWS From All Parts of the World. STATECRAFT AND COMMERCE. Another Attempt at Assassination at St. Petersburg, MORTALITY IN THE PLAGUE DISTRICTS. The Nations of the World Guarding Their Commercial Interests. CHINA AND THE COTTON TRADE. [By CABLE TO THE HERALD.) Loxpon, Feb. 23, 1879. ‘The Marquis d'Harcourt, the retiring French Am- bassador at London, went to Windsor yesterday to take leave of the Queen. ‘The report that Admiral Pothuan will succeed him is confirmed. M. Teisser- enc de Bort will go to Vienna as French Ambassador. There is no apparent reason to credit the rumor of the resignation of M.de Muarcére, French Minister of the Interior, which originated in statements in unofficial Paris newspapers Friday afternoon that M. de Marcére will not hold his usual Tuesday reception. The Paris correspondents of several Lon- don papers predict an early rupture between M. Gambetta, President of the Chamber of Deputi and his republican following, in consequence of his severe discipline in the Chamber and the rigor with which he prevents interruptions from any quarter. The decline in the five per cent rentes yesterday was because of a report that M. Germain would be elected President of the Budget Commission. M. Germain is favorable to the conversion of the rentes. ANTI-ERIK MOVEMENT. Mr. James McHenry has given notice that he will call a meeting early in March to separate the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad completely from connec- tion with the Erie, and consequently to oppose the amalgamation project. ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION IN RUSSIA. Prince Krapotkine, Governor of Charkoff, while re- turning on Friday night from a ball at St. Petersburg, ‘was fired at with a revolver and severely wounded. The perpetrator is unknown, but the police are actively endeavoring to secure his apprehension, THE DREADED PLAGUE. The Times’ correspondent at Berlin says that con- siderable alarm is felt at statements in East Prussian papers to the effect that recruits from South Astra- khan are being placed on the Russo-German frontier. The British Medical Journal prints the following :— “A letter with which weare favored by Dr. Zdekauer, court physician to the Czar, states that the plague is nearly extinct. On the llth inst. there remained only one case at Selitreno, Although the epidemic was purely local and did not go beyond the villages: of Wetlianka, Selitreno and Michaclowka, yet the mortality was over eighty per cent. The govern- ment feels, therefore, called upon to enforce the atrictest quarantine and other sanitary measures.” CHINA AND THE FUTURE. ‘The Post's Berlin correspondent says:—The Chi- nese government have purchased machinery and en- gaged experienced engineers und spinners in Ger- many to establish cotton mills in China, so,as to free that country from dependence upon English and Bussiad imports.” EGYPTIAN FINANCES. The English government, replying to Mr. Rivers Wilson, intimated its desire that he remain Minister of Finance. Confidential negotiations between the English, French and Egyptian governments have re- sulted in an agreement to leave the direction of affairs iu the hands of the Khedive, as President of the Council, with Mr. Wilson Minister of Finance and M. De Blignieres Minister of Public Works. PROTECTION IN GERMANY. The Times’ Berlin despatch says:—‘The North Ger- man Gazette continues to publish addresses of ad- hesion to Prince Bismarck’s new commercial policy, filling one or two large columns daily.” The Berlin correspondent of the Daily News says that the signiti- cance of the addresses, as proof of the tendency of opinion throughout the country, is unmistakable. At present the agriculturists are the most active; as a rule the farmers seem to be protectionists of the most radical kind, but the addresses represeut all classes of ciffvens and every branch of production. Awong tho nations liberals a most depressed tone is manifest. Thoparty is sure to divide on tho financial question, and in the event of the dissolution of the Reichstag the party will be practically extinguished. AUSTRO-GERMAN TREATY OF COMMERCE, The German Reichstag yesterday approved the Austro-German Treaty of Commerce after a speech by Herr Delbrack, who, in speaking of the com- mercial policy, said he would not hesitate to leave, though with a heavy heart, the path pursued by Prince Bismarck if he found that the interests of tho country required it. Germany’s legislation was not responsible for the present depression in trade, whieh prevailed in free-trading and protectionist countries alike. THE RUSSIAN EVACUATION. General Todleben telegraphs to St. Petersburg that he began evacuating Adrianople on the 18th of February, and thatthe Turks are occupying each Position evacuated, THE LIVERPOOL STRIKE. Though there has been no formal action taken by any portion of the workmen terminating the strike at. Liverpool, the difficulty in securing labor has entirely ended. There were over cight thousand dock hands employed on 170 vessels yesterday. CABLE NOTES, The idea is mooted in sporting circles of sending Elliott to Australia to row Trickett for the champion- ship of the world. Weston reached Yarmouth Friday night. He had then walked 1,509 miles, and was 173 miles behind time. He reached Saxmundham at twenty-tive min- utes to three o'clock yesterday aftornoon, still being 173 miles behind time. The Globe of last evening printed a Dublin de- spatch stating that Dr. Butt is slightly better, The correspondent denies the statement that Mr. Butt is about to resign the leadership of the Home Rulers. In consequence of the representations of United States Consul Heap at Constantinople the Grand Vizier has abandoned the proposal to replace the Turkish Minister at Washington by a Chargé a’ Affaires.

His communications have been in- terrupted for some days. The bush surrounding the post is infested with Zulus, but Colonel Pearson has two months’ provisions.’ SHERE ALI PROBABLY DEAD.

The first witness sworn was Dr. Ward, of Troy, who testified:—I am a physician; my specialty is microscopical examinations; a boot was left with me by District Attorney Benedict, from the lett side of which I scraped away some blood particles; I ap- plied the usual tests and found them to be human blood; there is no way to determine the difference between male and female blood.

Gordon, who testified to finding tracks in the meagow.

ANGELL AT LEWES. THE DISGRACED SECRETARY TELLS HOW HE TRAVELLED TO 4LAND, BRAZIL AND PORTUGAL—RECOGNIZED BY AN AMERICAN CON- SUL—ATTACHMENT OF THE STOLEN FUNDS. (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HEBALD.] Lewes, Del., Feb, 22, 1879. The American bark Shooting Star arrived at the Breakwater at one o'clock to-day, having on board Charles W. Angell, incharge ot Mr. Whitney Frank, a Loudon detective. As soon as the vessel came to auchor Angell was brought on shore and taken to the United States Hotel, where he will remain until Monday, when Mr. Frauk will start with him to Chicago, via Philadelphia, I ha had quite a lengthy interview with Messrs. Ar and Frank. Mr. Angell, though affable and courte- ous, positively declined to talk at all respecting his crime, and saya that he will not have anything to say to any one except to President George M. Pull- inan, who, he says, is the only one who has any right to know auything about the matter. ANGELL’S TRAVELS AND ARREST. He says he left New York on a German steamer for Southampton. There he obtained an English pass- port, and sailed in the royal mail steamer for Rio Janeiro, and remained there about twenty days, and then took the royal mail steamer back to Lisbon, where he was detained in quarantine eight days, then went on shore and took 4 comfortable but plain room at the Grand Central Hotel, under the assumed name of K. V. Seymore. It so happened that the American Consul, Mr. Diamond, takes his meals at this hotel, aud having been furnished with a pho- tograph and description of Angell the tugitive was readily recognized by the Consul, who approached him and asked if he was not Charles W. Angell, from Chicago, and he at once acknowledged that le was the man. Angell says that he was not aware there was no extradition treaty between the United States and Portugal, and that he did not go there on that ue- count, so as to take advantage of the possible im- inunity from arrest. On the contrary, he says after discovered he at once urged the’ Consul not to delay the formality necexsury for his return to the United States aya prisoner, He declares he did not wish to be detained, but preferred to reach here at the earliest moment, with av litle trouble a6 pos- sible, CONSUL DIAMOND ATTACHES ‘THE MONEY. His money (over $50,000 at the time of his arrest) was in his trunk. This trunk was brought ashore from the Shooting Star with the prisoner, and Mr. Angell pointed to it in the corner of th» room as he spoke. After his arrest, he said, resuming his nar- rative, the money was taken out and deposited in the Bank of Portugal by order of the Consul. Both Mr. Frank and the captain of the bark tell me that Angell has been cheerful = through- out the entire passage, which was’ thirty- five days to Cuapee Charles and forty-one days to the Breakwater. They say that had there been any other passenger on the bark who did not know the reason for Angell’s presence there he never would have suspected that Angell was under arrest for any crime, especially for one of such magnitude. ‘The only time he showed any signs of nervous rest- lessness at all was when speaking of Mr. Pullman, whom he appeared most anxious to meet as early as possible. He frequently said that he had much to say to Mr. Pu'lman, and expressed great contrition for the pain he bad caused him. Captain Frank »: 3 in the highest terms of Angell’s conduct since he has been in his charge, and that he has had no occasion to fear or Suspect any attempt from him to escape. RELIEF AFTER ALRESY. Angell admits that it was almost with a feeling of relief that he realized that his carcer of deception was over when his identity was discovered through his disguise at Lisbon by the vigilance of the Ameri- can Consul. He ucknowledges that he had be- come heartily sick and worn out with anxiety and loneliness in his wanderings. The constant dread of apprehension, the “fear that each bush was an officer’ had rendered the life he was leading al- most a burden to him. Angell declined positively to talk to me upon the cireumstances which led him to commit his crime. He repeated that that was a mat- ter upon which he should unburden hunself only to Mr. Puilman, While I talked i the defaulter he sat smoking in his room ina lounging attitude. He ap- pears to be a well preserved man of forty years, and looks as if he had enjoyed his trip home quite as much as he assured me he did. He is about tive fect eight inches in height, and weighs, I should say, 160 pounds, He has dark eyes and hair, and his skin is bronzed trom travel in sunny climes. His hair is tinged with gray on the temples, and is thin on the top of the head. He wears afull beard and mus- tache, in which respect he has nzed since he went abroad, In Chicago he was clean shaven. His hirsute appendage was probably cultivated as a part of his disguise. He has a Roman nose, turned slightly to the right. His personal appearance is prepossessing and he “looks like a gentleman.” His manuers are as polished und affable as a diplomatist’s. A SLIGHT SURPRISE. To the dectective who has him in custody he ex- pressed surprise that Mr. Diamond, the Consul, should be the first one to discover his identity. He felt more secure at Lisbon than elsewhere in his travels, jand did not expect to be | apprehended there. He had secured his English passport in Liverpool without trouble, and had success- fully passed for an Englishman after that! While in his room at the Grand Central Hotel, at Lisbon, two men called at his door, and one of them intro- duced himself as the Commissary General and asked to examine his passports. Then, said Angell, I knew the jig was oy Mr. Frank says that aiter that | time Angell no resistance, and aided in every way possible his speedy return to this country. The detective says that Mr. Moran, United States Minister, deserves credit for the vigilant course he pursued in the case; that when he was certain that Angell, alias Seymore, was the man wanted, he railroaded the matter through | and hurried in every way his speedy return to this country. At midnight Angell, Newell, of the bark Shooting Star, are still enjoying a social chat in their room, and are moderately sip- ping an occasional glass of real chamapagne. (0 representative of the Pullman Company is here to meet the defaulting officer and none is expected. Angell says he will go right through to Chicago, without extradition papers or other formalities. Mr. Frank telegraphed to-night to the Putlinan Compan and their agents will mect him in Philadelphia day afternoon. ‘The detective is a fine, portl looking man of very courteous manners and pleasing address. = He | shows — himself to be master of his business. He says that he has no need of any assistance from our officers, but that he will deliver his prisoner safe at Chicago without trouble. Angell talked quite cheerfully all the even- 4, and seemed rather anxious for a trip to Chicago than not. ‘The bark has orders for New York, aud will sail for that port in ballast to-morrow.
