Anriou, for a Solution.

nople, it appears that the sincere de-
sire of the great powers to hasten the
solution of the Roumelian problem is,
to a great extent, hampered by the
claims, threats and actions of minor
States. From Athens, Belgrade, Bucha-
rest and Montenegro, the unpleasant
intelligence is transmitted to the cabi-
net Of the great powers that if Eastern
Roumelia is to be finally annexed to
Bulgaria, then Greece, Servia, Roumela
and Montenegro must have adequate
territorial compensation. The position
of Great Britain, France, Germany and
Italy in the question is Enthusiastically
very different from that of Russia or
Austria Hungary. The former cabinets
are equally animated by desire to
hasten, as much as possible, the solu-
ton Of question which threatens to
compromise the peace of Europe, and
are anxious that the informal confer
ence, now sitting at Constantinople,
should solve the question in some man
ner, compatible with the dignity of the
powers which signed the Berlin treaty.
But it is undeniable that the true ma
ture of the Roumelian revelation lies
in the fact that, besides raising the
whole Eastern question anew, it has
again brought to the front the question
of Austrian or Russian preponderance
Of the Balkan Peninsula.
miscellaneous Notes.
LONDON, Oct. "A dispatch from
Berlin says that it is understood in
diplomatic circles that Austria is
secretly supporting Servia.

polls the report that Russia wishes to
dethrone Prince Alexander has greatly
angered the Roumelians. The Prince,
it is said, was never SO popular as he
| is now.

| The Situation In Montreal
MONTREAL, Oct. 2.--Owing, no
doubt, to the very excellent precautions
taken by the Mayor, the city last night
was quiet and the streets almost
deserted. There are three companies
of the garrison artillery under arms at
the Exhibition buildings, with troop
of cavalry doing patrol duty outside.
There were 100 constables on hand at
the Central Police Station, but their
services not being required, they were
sent home at 10 o'clock There are
also volunteers on guard at the various
armories. The chairman of the Board
of Health last night stated that the
Mayor had been arrested, at the in
stance of Hon. Louis Bueben, for
taking forcible possession of the Exhi-
bition grounds for a smallpox hospital.
Eighty-four new cases of smallpox
were reported to-day and "a houses
were disinfected. The new wing at the
hospital will be ready tomorrow, when
rooms will be had for some so patients.
The removal of patients to the Exhibi-
ton grounds will not be begun. The
civic hospital is full. For the six days
ending on Thursday night there were
276 deaths in the city and &c in adjoin-
ing municipalities. This afternoon the
Prince of Wales Rifles proceeded
to the Exhibition grounds to relieve
the Montreal Garrison Artillery,
doing duty there. No danger is feared
tonight, but there might be trouble to-
morrow night and Sunday, when the
workingmen will be at liberty

Ottawa says 1t is officially announced

ment has acted with promptness, and
