at the iratricidal war between Bulgaria
and Servia, the Czsr considers that the de-
termination, self.abnegation, persever-
ance and love OF order displayed by the
Bulgarian and Roumelian troops during
the conflict are worthy Of high
praise. Mindful OF the iudicious, self
sacrificing Russian officers who impaired
TO the troops military qualities and an
heroic martial spirit, the Car thanks
Major General Prince Cantacuzene, Bul.

AnairS in ssrvIa-ForeiEn News.

BERLIN, Dec. 1.-PrinCe Bismarck, in
the Reichstag, to-day announced pro
test from the Emperor against attempts tc
interfere with his sovereign rights. Prince
Bismarck deemed the expulsion oi
strangers from Germany a wise measure
and explained that the empire was
powerless to interfere with the
rights OF the different federal States
comprising the German Empire.
He stated that the edict OF expulsion com
planned OF was issued by Prussia in the
exercise Of its rights as one OF the federal
States, and rs the PrusSian Plenipoten-
tiary he was bound to oppose Imperial in
reference. After the Chancellor's state
ment proposed Interpolation in regard
to the expulsion OF the Poles was aband-
oned.
SENSATIONAL SCENE.
There was sensational scene in the
Reichatag to-day when the President read
the Emperor message, which was counter
signed by Prince Bismarck. After Bis
marck's speech, which created still greater
surprise, DR.. Windthorst, who was greatly
excited and hardly able to speak, moved
to discuss his Interpolation.
The motion carried, the whole house,
with the exception of the Conservatives,
voting in It's favor. Thereupon Prince
Bismarck, followed by all the members Of
the Bundesrath, lett the House.
DR.. Windthorst then moved to with
draw the Interpolation in order to con-
slider the Enperor's message. The Pro-
gressists wanting an immediate discussion
Of the message, challenged the division
on Windthorst's motion, which was car
ried.
In the discussion OF the budget, when
the item OF Bismarck's salary was reached,
DR.. Windthorst renewed his question re-
garding the expulsion OF the Poles. Prince
Bismarck, who re.entered the chamber
while DR.. Windthorst was speaking, re-
fused to discuss the matter. The salary
item wasthen voted.
