OF the disease that the vigorous constiuu-

that che was expected to become moth

died about noon, in the arms of the King,
and surrounded by the royal family. The
remains will lie in state to- day, and be

The offer of Russia to secure for Prince
Charles OF Roumania the dignity of Prince
of Bulgaria, is a very shrewd arrange
ment to remove all difficulties in regard
to the retrocession of Bessarabia to Rus
STA. The Roumanian antagonism to Rus
STA was due entirely to the general disap-
pointment at the meager compensation
rendered them by Russia after the bril-
liant services of Ronmanan allies in the
Bulgarian campaign. The people thought
that Bulgaria should be annexed to Rou>
mania, but instead of that the Gar pro-
posed to give Prince Charles only the al
most worthless strip of territory between
the Danube and the Black sea, and to an
mex to Bosnia the strip of Bessarabia
which she lost in 1856 By making
Prince Charles the ruler of Bulgaria and
Rounania there will be no further trouble
about Bessarabia.
