EREIGNTY OF ROUMELiA.
BLOODLESS REVOLUTION.

lBL00DLESS REVOLUTION.
LONDON, Sept. 20.-The bloodless
revolution In ROumelia Is the sole topic
OF discussion In all English political
land diplomatic circles. One of It's i'm
mediate effects will I've undoubtedly to
Impede, or, perhaps, paralyze the nego-
tiations of Sir Henry Drummond Wolff
with the Ottman Court. The Sultan
was never really friendly to the Eng.
lish proposals. His hesitation was
lpsrtly the result Of traditional policy
and partly because Of fear that the
British Government will not survive
the current year.
Now 1t is almost certain that the
Sultan will either drag the Roumelian
revolution into the Anglo Turkish
negotiations or else cancel the whole
business. In the former case he will
insist upon having from Lord Salisbury
q distinct guarantee of English support
as against Russia and Austria, in sup.
iport of Turkeys suzerainty. II IL
hardly conceivable that the English
Premier will agree to this, and In the
event Of his refusal the Sultan will
declare that the Englis negotiations
must be indefinitely postponed, alleg.
ing that such a serious question az the
Roumelian rising demands the whole
attention Of the Porte to the exclusion
of all else
| The Berlin papers of to morrow morn :
ing will unanimously attribute the
] Roumelian outbreak to Russian money
and intrigue. This view Is partially
Sustained by the attitude Of Russian
politicians of all shades of opinion, who
view the rising with serenity. The
efforts of NJ. de Giers and NJ. Nelidotf,
Russian am mbassador at Constantinople,
have lately been devoted to hindering
the negotiations between the English
Envoy and the Porte, and. 1t is quite
possible that The K R1umelian incident
may have been planned to strengthen
these efforts by showing the Sultan how
easily his empire may be disnamber ed
by his powerful neighbers.
RouMELIA's RULER.

4 1t is hoped in St. Petersburg Couri
circles that the signatory powers of tb I

is now asserted, was settled at th
