RUSSIA'S ATTITUDE.

Prinz.° Ferdinand left Philippopolis on Monday
morning for Sofia. Great preparations were made
for his reception, and a banquet was given in his
honour by the constructors of the Servo-Bulgarian
Railway. It is stated in St. Petersburg that the
Russian Government is anxious that Turkey should
take action with regard to Prince Ferdinand's as-
sumption of power in Bulgaria, and will therefore
abstain from any movement that might increase the
difficulties of the position.
The following is the text of the Rue-ian Circular to
the Powers on the Bulgarian Question, despatched
from St. Petersburg:
"The Inperial Government has been unable to
recognise the validity of the Prince of Coburg's elec-
tion. The Prince brought his election to the know-
ledge of the 'Emperor, and requested permission to
come here to learn his Majesty's wishes before pro-
ceed in,,z to Bulgaria. The Emperor, however, caused
the Prince to be informed that his election could not
be recognised, and that his journey to Bulgaria eculd
not be justified on any pretext. Similar advice has
since been g'yen to the Prince by the majority of the
Great Porers, and first of all by the Suzerian Court.
His Highness having, in spite of these warnings
thought it advisable to acquiesce in the wishes
of tie so-called representatives of Bulgaria, and to
proceed to the Principality, we find ourselves under
the necessity of declaring that Russia can admit
neither the validity of the Prince's election nor the
legality of his appearance in Bulgaria for the placing
himself at the head of the Government of that
country. We are glad to hope that the - Govern-
ment will share this view, and will not tolerate this
flagrant infraction of the Berlin Treaty. Russia
cannot constitute herself the sole guardian of those
stipulations on which rests the present state of affairs
now threatened with final supervision."

AT SOFIA.
Prince Ferdinand's entry into Sofia on Monday
evening was a brilliant one, his reception being most
enthusiastic. On Tuesday, the Prince received the
officers of the garrison, and declared that the salva-
tion of the country lay in the united action of the
Prince and the army. Replying to an address from
the Municipality, the Prince urged respect for exist-
ing treaties, and the greatest deference to the Suze-
rain Power. M. Toutcheff has accepted the task of
forming a new Cabinet.

WHAT it is our duty to do we must do because it

ROWLEY REGI6.

SCIIOOL BOARD.—On Monday a monthly meeting
of this Board was held at the Public Offices, Old
Hill, Mr. G. Green presidin4.—Ml. W, Bassaho
waited upon the Board, on behalf ot the Local Board
with a view to making arranginents as to the rent
to be charged the School Board after the Local
Board had purchased the offices. He explained that
the School B ard ban charged the Local Board a
yearly rent of £25 ; but the latter considered that
the School Board should pay them £5 per year more
because the Fcnool authorities would occupy two
extra rooms, viz. , the School Board officers' room
and the store room. The Local Board were vite
willing for the School Board to retain these two
rooms, but thought that in consideration of this it
was only fair that the latter Board should pay a
higher rent. After some discussion it was decioed
on the motion of the chairman, seconded by Mr.
Wood, that the School Board pay the Local Board a
yearly rent of £3O, and that they have the option
of using the rooms for twenty years, subject to six
months' notice. —A letter was read from Inspector
Turnbull, stating that he had visited Mrs. bAkin's
school again, and did not consider the te.ohing
efficient. On the motion of the Chairman it was de-
cided to inform Mrs Turnbull that the Board wire
not disposed to injure Mrs. L3Kin in th.? lea•t, but
would give her another twelve months' trial. The
e
Board, however, would request Mrs. Lakin to fur-
hish regalarly a statement of tits: attwldatic-.

THE FATAL TRAMWAY ACCIDENT AT
BRETTELL LINE.

Er. E. B. Thorneycroft (Deputy C ;roner) held
an inquest on Saturday afternoon, at the Dudley
A..irli tio•el Br tt,ll Lane, on the body of Th,,rnas
B:uton (48). horse slaughtlrer. Flood Stret, Dud-
ley, who was killed at Dennis Park on the Thursday
night previous. Mr. E. Percy Jobson represented
the triends of the deceased, and Mr. Instone (from
the office of Mr: Shakespeare) the Dudley and
Stourbridge Tramways Cnnapany.
Frederick Bruton, brotner of the deceased, who
idenified the body, said the deceased had left a
widow with seven children.
Henry Watson said he went to Kidderminster
with his cousin Bruton in a light float, and on their
rEurn they picked up a man on the road to give
him a lift. About half.past nine o'clo-..k t ley mo'.
the steam tram. Brut° was then driving at the
rate of four or five miles an hour, and the trarrrar
was coming at a .400 d speed. It was dark, an
Bruton carried n I light, but he car light was visible.
When the light was seen Bruton tried to pull out of
the way, but the car came into them, and threw the
deceased out of their vehicle. The horse was thrown
down, and witness was underneath it. Hi a cousin
Bruton was also under the horse, and he bad a
heavy cut over his eye. They were sober. The
three tnen had a pint of ale near Kidderminster,
anothe:. at St-urbr!dge, and a third at Brettell
Lane Witness was away on his bubine:s when at
Kidderminster and had some ale, but he could not
tell wh it Bruton had, The horse was on part of
the rails.
By Mr. Jobson : At the last public-house, Brut on
had a bottle of ginger beer with a small so,la, and
the others one pint of ale between them

-By Mr lusto-ne : It was not true that the ear
was at a standstill w en the collision took place.
Bruton was sober. The horse was so injured that
it had to be destr yecl.
William Spittle landlord of the house where the
last call wa4 made, said Bruton was not sober and
he asked for a bottle of soda water and had it.
Witness wouli not have card to ride with him
The men were anixous t get Bruton away, an t
wanted him to go by the tram car.
By Mr, Jobsou : Brnt,,n behaved himself as a
sober man Should, arui was eng,ged in a business
transaction in the house. He walked out without
assistance.

Samuel Cosgrove, driver of the e.ir, said that on
the occasion in question r e was going four or five
miles an hour wnen Bluten ran ni:o the ngine. At
the time the horse was „o.:dioptite,, and wi7ness
saw him fifty yards off. Witne-q4 pulled his bell,
and came to a standstill be!we Bruton drove into
the engine.
This statement was corroborated by the con-
ductor. _ _

Charles Griffiths, coal dealer, Stourbridge, said he
was iu the road at the lime. The tramcar lad tH-en
brought to a standstill when Bruton drove rapidly
and straight into the engine. This was done in
spite of tee driver's continue! shout:ng af.d ring-
of the bell.

The jury returned a veriiet of 'Accidental death,'.
and exanezated the en..iine•driver from any blame

THE LANGWORTHY CASE.

There were so many extraordinary things in the
notorious Langworthy case, of which incubus we hope
the public mind is now once for all relieved, that one
does not know which most to admire. Is it the re-
markable adaptability of our legal procedure by
which an action for breach of promise of marriage
finds its way for trial to an official receiver—in other
words, a skilled accountant; or is it the admirable
reserve and good taste of the public Press when it
dealt with private concerns, particularly in regard to
its delicate treatment of legal advisers and the dis-
crimination with which it separates adviser from
client? Again, in the Langworthy Marriage Bill we
find an example of the wisdom of the House of Com-
mons which, but for the obstructive vote of the
Speaker, have incontinently have married many
scores of people, some of whom had married others
on the assumption that they were unmarried, and only
one of whom had asked to be married. It only re-
mains for this bill to pass triumnhantly through all
its stages, when Miss Long will be at once married to
Mr. Langworthy and the happy possessor of £20,000
damages for his not having married her.—Law

THE ALDERSHOT_ MANCEUVRES,

The Flying Column under Major - General
Buchanan on Monday remained in its camp on ,
Wooltner Forest, in the same spot at which it had
halted on Saturday morning. Up to evening there
was no sign of a further retirement, and the pro-
tracted stay in one place was taken to indicate that
the retrograde movement of the main body of the
invading army had stopped.
Sir Archibald Alison issued the following General
Order with reference to the Volunteer Corps which
left Aldershot on Saturday :
" In taking leave of the volunteer battalions which
formed part of the division from the 6th to the 13th
August, the Lieutenant General- Commanding wishes
to bear special testimony, not only to their good con-
duct and discipline, which have been as excellent as in
former years, but to the eoldierlike and cheerful'
manner in which they have gone through the hard
work which was required of them. In consequence
of the volunteer regiments having elected this year
to take part with the regular troops in the operations
against the field column, they have been called upon
to makevery long marches (one of them over 20 miles
in trying weather), and to undergo more fatigue than
Lists fallen to the lot of any volunteer regiments pre-
viously encamped here. The manner in which they
have one through their marches, and the operations
in connection with them, is highly creditable to the
v.lunteer force, and to the commanding officers and
ail ranks in these battalions."

RnWLEY LOCAL BOARD.

The m )nthly meeting. of this Board was held o
Monday night at the Public Offices, Old Hill, M-
W. Bassano, JP., pre.iding —The Medical Officer
(Dr Beasley) reported that durine the past math
there had been 32 deaths, the death-rate being
13-85 per thousand. Four deaths had been caused
by zymotio diseases, and six cases of measles had
come under his notice. He asked for notice to be
served upon a number of property owners, calling
upon them to supply their tenants with wholesome
water.—The Chairman in moving the adoption of
the report, said that at the last meeting of:the Board
he declined to sign any further erders until the Board
had the assurance from the South Staffordshire
Waterworks Company that the supply would be
better. Since then he had had a correspondence
with the chairman of the company on the subject,
and in consequence of what he said he (the speaker)
had taken considerable trouble to investigate the
matter, and he found that there was nothing the
matter with the supply. With regard to the supply
at Ttvidale tetere was some conflicting evidence, it
being alleze I by the Board's servants that it took
t enty minutes to fill the water carts. The com-
pany had inquired into this alleza,tion, and they
found that it only took live minutes. He had
recestcd the company's assurance that the supply
of weter would be much better, consequently he
was glad the Board had moved in the mat,er—(hear,
hear the report was ado)tel—The clerk stated
th t with reference to the lox) for the purchase c,f
the Publ c Offices from the Scho 1 Boerd he had
written to the Local Government Board asking for
their sanction, but had received no reply ; but the
Public Works Commissioners hal int,mated their
willingness to adv nce the money at 5 percent —ln
reply to the Chairman, the Clerk said a person was
willing to advance the money for twenty years at 4
per cent., to be repaidat £lO3 per annum. He was
willing to make it repaya,b?e in ten years at XlOO
per annum, and in the tenth year the Boartl to repay
the whole of the loan if neeessary.—A. discussion
followed, and it was eventually decided to consid
the whole queetion at a special meeting of the Board.
—A. discussien arose as to the amount the School
Beard should ay the Local Board for the ue
the offices after the xchange had been effected, in
the course of which it was contended that the School

_
Bart s tou'd paw more, a 3 mor3 aceommo Lat 01

that the Chairman attend the School meeting and.
make the best arrangements postible.

BURIED BY THE WRONG PARENTS.

A painful story is related by the Paris correspon-
dent of the Times. Two children in a Paris hospital,
it is said, were mistaken for each other, one child
which died being buried by the wrong parents and the
surviving one being offered to a mother who found it
was not her own. The children were suffering from
scarlatina. and no visitors were allowed to see them.
Madame Duhamel, a concierge, sent her boy, four
years old to the hospital, received occasional reports
of his progress, and after two months had notice
that he was convalescent, and might be taken
home. She sent a neighbour, who, however, did
not recognise the child offered to her, and
declined to take him, Three days later a nurse took
the child to Madame Duhamel, and insisted that he
was the concierge's ton; there was a mutual absence
of recognition. Ultimately the hospital authorities
admitted that the tickets must have been misplaced,
and that Madame *Duhamel's child lud died twelve
days after admission. The anguish undergone by her
may easily be conceived. Meanwhile the other
parents, named Molera, believed their child to be
dead, and had borne the expenses of the funeral. It
appears that during their illness orders bad been
given t) transfer the children to another ward, and
the nurse who transferred them placed the ticket of
one child on the other's bed-head. The nurse has
been dismissed.

TaE REVOLUTIONARY SOCIALISTS

The eighth congress of the Revolutionary Socialists
(who describe themselves as the "working men's
party") which has been sitting for some days at
Paris, closed its noisy proceedings on Sunday. Among
the conclusions come to by the delegates were the
following The working men's party will not
deviate from its policy, and until the final triumph
of econom'cal and political equality will conduct
without compromise or weakness the class contest
against all sections of the Bourgeoisie. While await-
ing the end of capitalism, it will urge the demand
for the suppression of town dues, which shall be re-
placed by a tax better calculated to protect workmen
from the action of capitalists. It will not relax its
efforts to secure the socialistic and scientific organi-
sation of labour in the commune, the department,
and the State; and at the same time it will demand
the immediate reduction of the working day to eight
hours. It claims that the communes shall place at
the disposal of workmen's organisations, the work-
shops, tools, and raw materials necessary for the
execution of town works. The party will take every
means to secure the suppression of the present system
of public relief, and will call for the municipal orgs.ni-
ration of the public service."

SPEECH BY PRINCE FERDINAND.

At a banquet given on Tuesday in honour of Prince
Ferdinand by the officers of the Tirnova garrison the
usual toasts were proposed, and, in reply to several
speeches, the Prince, who spoke in French, assured
the officers that, with the assistance of the Bulgarian
army and people, he would resist all enemies, both at
home and abrnad. He was ready, he declared, to
sacrifice his life for the happiness of Bulgaria, his
new country, and he was proud to be the successor
of the Regents, who had known so well, by their
patriotism how to save Bulgaria from the crisis she
had recently been compelled to pass through. His
Highness, in conclusion, said that he would respect
everything which bore the name of Alexander, and
that he would preserve intact everything that had
been left by Prince Alexander; for he could testify,
with !pleasure, to the love which was felt for his pre-
decessor throughout the country. The Prince then knelt
and received the blessing of the priests who were
present. His Highness subsequently promised the
rank of colonel to tel. Moutkuroff, and himself an
cepted the honorary colonelcy of the Tirnova Regiment.
On leaving the banqueting-room Prince Ferdinand
was carried on the shoulders of the officers to his car-
riage. The Prince afterwards held a review of the
troops._ He left Tirnova on Wednesday morning.
_

Th. e Bulgarian army on Tuesday (says a Sofia cor-
respondent) took the oath of allegiance to Prince
Ferdinand.
ATTITUDE OF THE PORTE. •

The Porte has sent a Circular Note to its represen-
tatives at the Courts of the European Powers relative
to recent events in Bulearia, and inquiring what in-
structions the Powers intend to send to their repre-
sentatives at Sofia in view of the arrival of Prince
Ferdinand in Bulgaria.

EMIN PASHA.

It is announced at Zanzibar that the messengers
sent by the British and Italian consuls to inform
Emin Pasha of the dispatch of a relief
expedition under Mr. Stanley, arrived in the
beginning of May at M'Lisa, a place situated
on the eastern coast of the Albert Nyanza
after they had been for a long time detained by Kas-
siki, King of Unganrjembe, and by M'Wanga, King
of Uganda. If these messengers were able to find
means of crossing the Albert Nyanza, in order to
reach ll'Efagi, a station on the west coast of the lake,
and one of the ten stations still held. by Emin Pasha
and Signor Casati, the camp of Emin Pasha should
have received information of Mr. Stanley's attempt at
the end of the month of May. It was stated at M'Lisa
that at the beginning of May, Emin Pasha was in the
Um iaro District, in good health, and en route to Lake
a N'Zige, by way of the Kakibbi.

THE NORTHWICH ELECTION,

The polling in this division of Cheshire on Satur-
day passed off quietly, although, as the day wore on,
,re supporters of both candidates became exceedingly
az,•tive, and the excitement was such that personal
accusations of a damaging character were rande
by members of each party against those of the
other. Each side was assisted by numerous volunteer
workers from a distance, contingents of Unionists and
Gladstonians coming from Manchester, Liverpool,
Chester, Crewe, Macclesfield, and Altrincham. Daring
the day the candidates drove through the con-
stituency, and were received with demonstrations of
enthusiasm by their respective supporters. There
was a preponderance of carriages for Lord Henry
Grosvenor, although at Northwich and Runcorn the
Gladstonians were enabled, by the assistance of their
friends, to put on large relays of vehicles. At night
Mr. Tomlinson, the high sheriff of the county, re-
ceived the ballot-boxes, and saw to their safe custody.
The counting commenced at nine o'clock on Monday
morning, and the result was announced about noon
as follows:

Htre-

Mr. Brunner (G.L.) a. 5112
Lord H. Grosvenor (U.) ... 3983

Liberal Majority ... ... 1129
At the last election the numbers were: Mr. It.
Verdin (L.U.), 4416; Mr. J. T. Brunner (L.), 3758;
Unionist majority, 658. In 1885, however, Mr.
Brunner was returned with a majority of 1028, he
having polled 5023, and Mr. It. Verdin (C.) 3995.

MR. GLADSTONE AND RAILWAY
ENTERPRISE.

In magnificent weather, and in the presence of an
enormous crowd of spectators, Mr. Gladstone, on
Tuesday afternoon, lowered the first cylinder of the
swing bridge over the Dee, near Connah's Quay,
which is being constructed by the railway company in
the district with the view to connec:ing North Wales
and England. The length of the swinging girder will
be 287 feet, with a clear width in the opening span of
140 feet. A train conveying specially invited guests
arrived on the scene just before one. These made
their way to the stand that had been erected running '
out into the river, and here they were almost imme-
diately after joined by Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone. Mrs,
Gladstone having blown a whistle and Mr. Gladstone
waved a flag, the cylinder on the Cheshire side of the
Dee slowly descended into its position amidst deafen-
ing cheers from the people on both banks, and those
in the boats. The ceremony having concluded,
Mr. Gladstone proceeded to address the company
on the pl ttform. lie said the deed he had performed
that day was symbol and commemoration of an opera-
tion of greatest importance, and on behalf of the
whole people of North Wales he thanked Sir Edward
Watkin and his coadjutors for having taken action,
they had, with a view to more c osely uniting two
countries. The promoters had had to struggle
against great Parliamentary and physical difficulties
in carrying out enterprise and it was difficult to ex-
press thanks owing to all concerned for thus bringing
North Wales into full and free communication with
Eng'and, to the enormous benefit of both. The
interest of each country in the undertaking was
neutral and reciprocal. The iron link across the Dee
would bring them into closer unity in all so&al and
commercial relations of lite. The work was a great
one, and would, he was convinced, he productive of
incalculable good.

A PRINCESS TRIED FOR SHOP-
LIFTING.

A Russian Princess and her companion have been
tried in Paris for shoplifting. The Princess is an
accomplished musician, active in charitable entertain-
ments at Nice, and a versifier. She and her com-
panion were arrested in Paris outside the Louvre
drapery shop, having been watched inside by a shop-
Man, who saw them waiting about, and, as he believed,
purloining small articles.. On the Princess were
found merely a cardcase and a piece of lace' which
she said she thought her companion had paid for. On
the latter were found several ornamental articles.
The Princess was acquitted; the companion—formerly
a shopwoman at the Louvre—was sentenced to two
months' imprisonment. The Standard says the lady
was Madame de Mazimof, née Princess Wiazimska,
daughter of Prince Wiazimska and Countess Tolstoi,
and the mother of three children. In 1880 she
obtained a divorce against her husband, which was
pronounced by a ukase of the Czar after her husband
had been condemned by the Nice Tribunal to three
months' imprisonment -for having beaten and ill-
treated her.
