pean international affairs attention is
concentrated upon the court and diplo-
matte intrigues in progress for and
against the deposition Of Prince Alex
aDder in Bulgaria Queen Victoria and
her Ministers, il is understood, are deter
mined 10 keep Princess Beatrice's bro
ther-in-law upon the throne as the ruler
Of united Bulgaria and Roumelia. On
the other hand. the Gar and royal House
Of Denmark are equally resolved 10 &C
conplish his overthrow. This latter
combination are pushing the claims Of
the young Prince Waldemar 20 succeed
Alexander. Waldemsr is a son Of
King Christian Of Denmark, AID recent
ly married Princess Marie. daughter Of
the Due de Charities. Some gossips
pretend TO see in the Cars intrigue a
design 10 win France away from
her partnership with England and Italy
concerning the Balkan question. 1t
might please the Monarchists Of France,
but it certainly would displease the
Republicans and cement their relation
with England. Ii is also under
stood that the German Crown-Prince
Frederick William has become a
warm supporter Of Queen Vic
toria's contest IN favor Of Prince
Alexander. Russia, however, does not
mean to be baked easily. The Car.
it is stated, has resolved, in the event Of
failing to succeed in having Prince
Alexander depOsed in favor Of Prince |
Waldemar, to push the Duke Of Lurch-
tenbeIg forward for the Bulgarian
throne. The Duke is brother-in-law Of
the late General SkobelOf. and he would !
undoubtedly work out Russian inter-
ests IN the Balkans if be had a chance.
Mr.. Lascelles, British agent at Sofia,
at present accompanies Prince Alexan-
der everywhere be goes. It is report
cd that he does this under special in
struchons from her Majesty's Govern
ment, and that his conduct is accepted
by the Bulgarisns and Roumelians as a
mark OF England's support OF the
union.
The Prince Of Wales, who has Of re-
cent years become very prudent. holds
entirely aloof from any participation in
Bulgarian affairs, and does not permit
himself to be swayed by family inhG-
ences on either the German or Russian
side Of the house. He apparently
takes the ground that the position Of |
his relative. Prince Alexander, depends
entirely upon political considerations,
and that by them alone will it be finally
adjusted.
1t is difficult to ascertain just what
Germany's position is toward Prince
Ii Is reported. though,
that Prince Bismarck and Count Kal-
noky. the Austro- Hungarian Minister Of
Foreign Affairs, have agreed to main
tain him in power if he will submit 10
the decision Of the Balkan Conference.
Austria will strongly oppose the can
iidacy Of the Duke Of Lurchtenberg
for the Bulgarian throne if Russia sue
Feeds in accomplishing the deposition Of
Prince Alexander.
Dispatches from Constantinople to-

White. British representative at the
Balkan Conference, ordering him to CO.
operate with the other delegates to the
Conference in securing an invitation to
Prince Alexander TO restore the status
