THE FORERUNNERS OF THE UPRISING.
An interview had on Tuesday last at
Consfautinople with Israel Washburn. of
Roberts College, an American institution
an the Bosphorus, is published to-day in
connection with the news respecting the
lnslrrectou in Eastern Roumelia. and
enows singular apathy on the part 81 the
Il foreign representatives in PhilippOpOlis
in not notifying their respective govern
mpnts OF the mutterings constantly heard
,f the then approaching rising. Mr..
n Washburn. who has lust returned from
+womonths' tour OF Bulgaria and Roume-
n liza. says: Il heard more talk Of union
. anon the people of Roumelia than l did
Ia Bu. garla.'
CAUSES FOR THE UNION.
The question of union was constantly
fore d upon the ROumelians by increas-
mgmaterial interests and the burden of
supporting two governments, which con-
sderatlv oppressed the people. Besides
# Industries were injured in RoumelIa, aud
sometimes totally destroyed by custom
houses srtihcially dividing the frontier
between R0umelia and Bulgaria, and the
porta's preventing free trade between the
two States. 1t the present state of things
continues it will inevitably make trouble
IN Europe. Russia is losing her influ-
enee in the Balkan States, and although
the Buigarians are grateful to Russia for
gaining them independence, they have
since bitterly resented several attempts
made by Russian agents to control the
administration.
CHARACTERIsTICS OF THE BULGARIANs.
The Bulgarians have a perfect genius
for administration. While allowed their
independence the Bulgarians would will
/. inglY alV themselves with Russia, hut
would ally with Austria against Russia
rather than lose their independence. The
Bulgarans are steadily at work building
roads and railways, and making other
public Improvements.
1t is considered strange, in view of the
fact that Mr.. Washburn appears to be so
well acquainted with the disaffectiOn of
the people Of Eastern ROumelia after a
two months trip, that some diplOmatists
appeared surprised at the news of the in
slrrectlon
EFFECTBON THE BoURsES.
Reports from the various continental
bourses show that panicky feeling pre-
vailed in financial circles during the
greater part Of the day, but toward the
hnlsh Of business the quotations at sew
efal bourses rallied somewhat from the
lowest prices Of the day. The closing
prices, however, show heavy declines as
compared with Saturdays closing fig
lres various rumOrs were set aflOat by
Paris stock jObbers in order to keep
Pup the excitement, including one to the
1eet That Turkey was mObilizing her
army preparatory to reasserting her
claims IN Eastern Roumelia. The market
ol lhe London stock exchange closed dull
with q slight recovery from the lowest
point OF the day. American securities
were steady.
