A Cons'antinople telegram says, a
body of Bulgarians lately burned fourteen
villages in the district of Demotica. The
Porte has sent note to Prince Labanoff point
ing out the fact that the Russiae are powerless
to repress Bulgarian movements. In another

Russia is establishing a second line of
defense at Adrianople. Several prominent

Minister Layard that the best mode of fight
ing Afghanistan would be to engage Russia
in Europe. The sultan's immediate Intentions
however, are pacific. Several ministers, and
especially the military party, favor defni-
tive cession of portion of Bosnia to Austria,

ture contingencies.
The Pail Mall Gazette gives the English
view of Secretary Evarts' late Fisheries dis
patch in the following language: That the
United States should choose this precise mo-
ment to publish what seems from the tele-
graphic summary to be rather threatening
dispatch addressed by Secretary Evarts to
American Minister Welch can scarcely be re-.
garded as accidental All the world can see
we have on our hands just now quite as much
as we can well deal with, and really friend
~ power with grievance like that, whilst
holding to its position, would refrain from
casting the matter in an irritating way be
fore the public until our affairs had assumed
a peaceful aspect. At any rate this is what,
according to admirers of the Alabama arbi-
tration, we might certainly have expected
from America. The truth is that while the
very party with which the bargain was made
still holds Office in the United States, the first
opportunity is seized to make point against
US Just when it is reckoned that our difficult
ties may force us to give way. Nothing else
was to be expected, and for our own part we
are inclined to thank Evarts for teaching our
countrymen that nations generally are more
inclined to forege their advanta yes over one
another in the nineteenth century than in the
eighteenth, seventeenth, sixteenth or first.
Let sentimenta,;sts blame Evarts, for he has
disappointed them, not us. sap
