THE BALKAN ISTRIGUEs
There are remarkable developments in Bulgaria
Prince Alexander failing to keep the promises winch
hemade after his coup d6at two years ago. recently
sought to throw himself into the arms OF Austria.
It was intolerabe to Russia that Bulgaria should
thus follow the example of Servia and Rounania'
The Russian Generals at Sophia therefore com
pelled the Prince to summon the Assembly. Ihey
virtually succeeded in posing as the uiends oi
liberalism, and produced the remarkable spectacle
of Zankoa7s recall from exile and restoration to
mower as Prime Minister. These incidents have
created grave anxiety In Berlin lest Bulgaria shall
become more Russianized than ever. To the sur
prise of Europe, Premier ZankoPs first step was TO
combine with the Conservatives and the Prince IN
getting rid OF the Russian Generals who had
Effected the coup detat, Many Russians are now
leaving the Bulgarian service. Russian influence
Is clearly waning. Nevertheless, the Bulgarlans
will not permit Alexander to JON the Austrian
alliance.
SPANISH CRISIS.
King Alfonso's anger toward the French Repubh-
cans seems likely to land Spain In troublesome
waters. The Spanish Liberals dislike the German
alliance which Alfonso seems determined to accom-
plsh nor do they approve of the present Ministry.
When q moderate Liberal like CASTELAR, talks OF
"other means of action" the outlook must be dan
perous. crisis Is inevitable when Alfonso returns
If he can combine all the dynastic Liberals into
Whig party, he may control the extreme elements;
otherwise the latter with their French sympathies,
will oyerwhelm him.
SILLY SCARE on THE CONTINENT.
Continental opinion has been disturbed by Mr. Glad
stones visit to Copenhagen last week. Jocularly
alluded to the prospect of "the grand old mans"
being "nobbled" by the Gear. Nobody expected
serious interpretations on Mr. Gladstone's journey.
The Continental press however persists in declar-
Ing that there is mischief in 1t. and hints at combi-
nations against the nefarious designs of Prince
Bismarck There is not the slightest ground for
these suspicious. Mr.. Gladstone is the last man to
enter into Continental alliance.
CONGRESSES OF THE AUTUMN.
The autumnal congresses have begun, the British
Association sitting IN Southport. Professor Cay
leys opening address appeals only to the rev
learned in the higher mathematics and is not quite
new. Mr.. Cayey should admit the possibility OF

Henrici's condemnation of Euclid as a school-Oook
not calculated to instil correct geometncal ideas
Imay mention that Euclid was long ago abandoned
IN the Continental schools.
IRISH FACTS AND RUMoRs.
James McDermott's acquittal was unexpected
and has gwen color to the suspicion that he was
arrested to secure his protection from the vengeance
of those who suspected him of betraying the
Fenian cause.
ODonnelPs arrival has led to the usual flood OF
secret threatening letters but the precautions that
were taken made his escape impossible.
There is genuine anxiety respecting Mrs. Careys
safety She and her are vital witnesses in the
case If it be true that she has revealed her nus
bands connection, and also that of the "lnvinci-
bic leaders, with compromised member OF Par
lament, her position is possibly critical The
police are taking special precautions to protect her
and her son.
DRAMATIC AND LITERARY.
Nine Nilsson sailed to-day for NewYork.
The Northwestern Company placed a saloon car
rage at her disposal. The attention lately shown
10 her and to Mile. Albsni by the Queen and other
members of the Royal famil is much appreciated
BY the general public, with whom they are great
