PHILIPP0P0LIS REVOLTS.
RULERS DEPOSED AND UNION
WITH BULGARIA DECLARED.

The Uprising So Well Planned that Its
Objects were Attained without Blood
shsd-RussiA Believed to be at the
Bottom OF the IDcident-A General
European ImbrOGIiO Possible.
LONDON, Sept 19.-The populace OF
PhilippOpolIs, the capital Of Eastern Rou-
melia, almost to man rose in rebellion
yesterday, seized the Governor General,
deposed the government, and proclaimed
union with Bulgaria. A provisional gov
ernment was established. The revolt was
SO well planned that no disorder or blood
shed occurred, everybody being in
sympathy with the movement except the
government officials. The foreigners in
the city are perfectly safe from harm, as
is also the property of foreign residents.
Immediately after the organization Of the
provisional government, militia WAS
sworn in, taking an oath of allegiance TO
Prince Alexander OF Bulgaria.
The insurgents in Eastern ROumelia,
acting under orders of the provisional
government, have occupied all the STRAIT
egetic points on the Turkish frontier,
blown up all the bridges which would
likely be used by force advancing from
Turkey to the relief of the deposed gov
ernment, and destroyed the telegraph
wires leading to Turkey.
RUSSIA IMPLICATED.
1t is generally believed in diplomatic
circles that Russia arranged the pro-
gramme of the rising and suggested union
with Bulgaria. No definite statement can
at present be made as to what action the
signatory powers to the treaty of Berlin
will take respecting the matter.
Eastern R0umelia was created by the
Congress OF Berlin in 1878, and was given
an autonOmic government, though form
ing an integral part Of the Turkish em-
pire. The Governor General was APP
pointed by the Porte subject TO the APP
proval OF the treaty powers.
ALEXANDER's hackers.
1t is stated that Prince Alexander Of
Bulgaria has been assured of the support
of Russia, Germany and Austria. He
will send an army to Roumelia, and will
defy the Turks. The Sultan Of Turkey
has appealed to the powers to enforce the
treaty of Berlin. 1t is not believed that
Lord Salisbury will interfere. The Lib
erals applaud the action Of the Roume-
lians.
BULGARIAN TROOPS Modified.
SOFIA, Sept. 19.-The Bulgarian army
has been modified, and a corps has been
sent to the ROumelian frontier. Prince
Alexander has proceeded to PhilipOppolis,
and has appointed as commissioner Nj.
StrOusky, who is now President of the
Roumelian provisional government.
FEARS OF A GENERAL WAR.
PARIS, Sept. 19.-It is thought here
that the ROumelian trouble will lead to a
| general European imbrOgllO. The East
is most infiammable.

LONDON, Sept. 19.-The arrival in Lon
don OF Gen. Roberts, the present Com
mander-in-Chief of her Majesty's forces
IN India, was made the signal for an out
burst of dlscOntent among the returned
officers Of the Suakin-Berber expedition
against Gen. Wolseley. Sir e. Hawley.
under the nom de plume Of "Scrutator,',
has Published in the Times series Of
charges against the decorated commander
OF the Khartoum expedition. Among
these is one that Gen. Wolseley suppress
ed names which Gen. Graham recon-
mended for promotion on account of ac-
tual services, and substituted for them
the names Of a number OF his per-
sonal and court faYOrites. "ScrutatOr"
says that the reason Gen. Wolseley
meanly ignored the services of the troops
and officers engaged in the Suakin-Ber
expedition was that neither be, the Duke
Of COnnaught, nor any OF the other mill
tary faVorites Of royalty had any share in
that campaign. 1t is quite evident that
the prevailing sentiment of the army
officers in London is bitterly against Gen.
WOlseley. Efforts are being made to
have his conduct of the Nile campaign
made the subject Of parliamentary dis
cussion with a view to securing search
ing official inquiry into it.

LONDON, Sept. 19.-The scheme pro-
posed by Sir Joseph Anderson during the
international telegraph conference at
Berlin to DR.. stephan. the German Min
lister of posts and telegraphs, for the ac-
QUESTION of all submarine cables of the
world, by an international government
syndicate, has developed the fact
that all the cables are owned by
twenty-six companies. The aggre-
gate capital OF these companies
is 934, ,459,OS9. Sir Anderson's idea is
that II the governments combined and
purchased these cables an international
syndicate could make tariff common to
all nations, each to receive its proper pro-
portion of the net revenues, the tariff to
be adjusted with a view 10 fetching mod

tinued working OF the cables by the pres
ent companies through managing boards,

vision, If deemed advisable.
The Economist prOnOunces the scheme
impTacticabie, for the reason that II would
be found impossible to determine upon
any purchase pnce that would satisfy
either the present owners of the cables or
the proposing national purchasers. DR..
stephan, however, is in favor Of the pro-

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-rhe transfer
of gold and silver coin from the over
crowded vaults at San Francisco and Car

cities continues. The total amount OF
gold coin already shipped from
San Francisco to New York is about
Sl3, 100000. The shipments from Carson
City have been almost entirely Of
silver coin. In view of the large amount
of coin which has accumulated at the
New York sub-treasury by reason of
the heavy shipments from the West, it has
been deemed best TO bring future ship
ments to the treasury at Washington in
stead, and the first consignment arrived
here this morning. 1t consisted of $780,
600 in gold coin from San Francisco and
5000, 600 in silver from Carson City. The
