The European Resume.

interest in the metropolis tonight is the re-
suit of the trial of Mr.. Stead and Mrs.
Jarrett. The friends of Stead are indig-
uant at Judge Lope'S severity III the sum-
ming I'D, and claim that the charge was un-
fair in this respect, but the unanimous
opinion OF the great mass of disinterested
people is that the charge was an admirable
one in respect to impartality and clearness.
The Judge spoke nearly five hours, and
thoroughly ana.yZed the evidence in the
light of the law governing such cases.
After the verdict became known
to the crowd outside the court feeling of
animosity against the accused seemed
to increase, and when the prisoners were
brought out after adjournment there was
quite a scene 1t was feared that they
would be mobbed and the police had con-
siderable difficulty in getting them safely
through the excited crowd. Sentence was
deferred and it can only be conjectured
What degree of penalty Justice Lopes will
see fit to impose. 1t will depend somewhat,
no doubt, upon the verdict in the coming
trial of Stead and others on the Indictment
charging indecent assault upon the Arm
strong girl in subjecting her to a medical
examination.
There is very little change this afternoon
in the status of the questions arising from
the acknowledgements affair. The Jour
nal de st. Petersburg to-day declared that
the union of Bulgaria and Roumelia cannot
possibly be allowed to become permanent,
except at the expense of reopening the
whole dangerous and
vExATIoUs EASTERN PROBLEM,
which has for some time happily remained
dormant The article concludes with the
stereotyped declaration that the situation eX-
isting previous to the coup d. etat of Prince
Alexander must be restored. as soon as the
questions raised by his recent action are
settled. Prince Alexander will undoubt
edly lose his crown. Active intrigueS are
already in progress in all European courts
and diplomatic circles as to who shall be
his successor. Prince Waldemar of Den
mark. so recently allied to a French mon
archial family. and the wealthy and ultra
nObly descended Duke of Leuchten-
berg. Skobeeff's brOther-in-law, are
among the most prominent and strongly
maintained candidates for the precarOus
honorS. On the other hand. Prince Alex
ander is not blind to the change and the
danger threatening him, and is bringing
strong influences to bear in his favor in GER
tain quarters 1t is significant that the
British agent at Sofa, LascelleS, still con-
tinues to accompany Prince Alexander
wherever he goes. The ostentatious man
ner in which this singular companionship is
kept up shows that it must be the result of
instructions from London, and it is eVi-
IDENTITY intended to have exactly the effect
that it is producing, namely: the impress
sion that England
FAvORs THE PRINCES INTENTIONS.
Queen Victoria and her ministers are de-
70 Drinnacc
brOther-in-law upon the throne as ruler of
united Bulgaria and Roumelia. On the
other hand the cZar and the royal house of
Denmark are equally resolved to accom-
pish his overthrow. This latter combina-
tion are pushing the claims of Waldemar.
Waldemar is the son of King Christian of
Denmark and his wire, Princess Marie,
daughter of the Due de Chartres Some
gossips pretend to see in the cars intrigues
a design to win France away from
her partnership with England and
Italy concerning the Balkan ques-
ton. 1t might please the monarchiSts of
France but it certainly would diSplease the
Republicans and cement their relation with
England. 1t is also understood that the
German crown prince, Frederick William,
has become a warm supporter of Queen
VictOria's contest in favor of Prince Alex
ander. Russia, however, does not mean to
be baked easily. The ear, it is stated, has
resolved in the event of falling to succeed
in having Prince Alexander deDosed in
favor Of Prince Waldemar, to push the Duke
Of Leuchtenberg forward for the Bulgarian
throne.
THE BURMESE TROUBLES.
The Burmese still presage the annexation
of Bunmah to India. A most convincing
-ta in, Airaatinp Tod TO Il
The Burmese envoy at Paris having in
formed Lord Salisbury, through the British
ambassador to France. that King Theebaw
had concluded to assent to the domiciling of
a British resident minister at Mandalay,
provided that the military retinue be not so
large as to be a menace to the Burmese
government. Lord Salisbury curtly replied
that England would not negotiate on the
subject through the envoy, as he was not
properly accredited. 1t is considered Ger
tain that this preteXt would not have been
employed to ignore King Theebaw's over
ture if there had been any real desire on the
part of her majesty's government for COM
promise. The meaning Of it is that En-
gland prefers to let matters go on as they
are now progressing, with the inevitable re-
suit of Burmah'S becoming part of the In
dian empire.
THE FRENCH MINISTRY
having Signifed their readiness to resign in
order to permit the president, Grevy, to
form new cabinet shaped with view to
representing the majority as altered by the
recent elections. the president to-day no
tilted the ministers that he would not ac-
cept the designations. He prefers to await
the meeting of the chambers and TO be
guided by the situation as then developed.
1t IS possible that the BrisSon ministry,
with perhaps very slight changes. may
prove acceptable to the new chambers.
RELIGION IN POLITICS.
The Irish question has for the moment
given way to the religious question in Brit
ish politics. Mr.. Parnellis permitted to go on
arranging his campaign and nominating his
candidates in Ireland pretty much as he
pIeases while the voters in England and
Scotland are set by the ears over the cues
ton of disestab.ishing the church, The
controversy has become exceedingly bitter
1t has been described as ''the combat
of the established church. fighting
for life, against the dissenter, struggling
to destroy the state monopoly of religion
The pope will shortly issue another evangel-
ical, similar in tone to those which he puts
forth at irregular intervals, to define the at
titude OF the church in regard to the ten
denotes OF the age. which are gloomily re-
garded by the vatican. The special sub
jeetS selected for their condemnation in the
following letter are the excessive liberty of
the press and the principle of universal
suffrage, so far as it ignores religious
accountability. OF religious topics
Everybody in Great Britain has become
deeply interested in the contest. and it is
now thought that the result of the elections
will hinge entirely on the church questions
alone. The engrossing importance in this
campaign of the question of disestabIish-
ment is due to the preponderating influ-
ence OF the Radicals in the Liberal party.
