LONDON Sept, 23,-The European topic
OF the hour is the Roumelian pacific reyou-
ton and annexation 10 Bulgaria Beyond
SELLING Alelio Pacha, sort Of Chrlstlanlzed
Turkish governor general, there has been
no violence, The whole affair resembles tho
revolution 'eau des roses, as II was termed,
whereby Tuscany, on April "a, 1859, deposed
the Grand Duke Leopold and proclaimed the
annexation Of the duchy 10 Piedmont. THIS
Roumelan treaty is, OF course, violation
OF the Berlin treaty on the side OF both ltou-
mela and Bulgaria, Public opinion In
Europe may perhaps consider the eyent az
an immediate conseq ucnco OF the late krem'
Hier meeting
Prince Alexander, Of Bulgaria, who but a
few days ago was the guest Of the Emperor
Francis Joseph at the Austro. Hungarian
mannuvres, could not have boon ignorant
then that MIR. Slrausky and his political
friends had long prepared the events which
terminated two days ago In tho overthrow
OF the last veatigo OF Ottoman rule In Rou-
mclia The Prince OF Bulgaria owes allogi-
anco 10 the sultan; aud II, nj tho present
moment, ho is marching NJ tho head OF his
troops on Phlippopois, II Ia impossible TO
SEQ how tho annexation can DO effected with
out promoting complications with the porte,
or what may prove still more dangerous,
without leading 10 future annnoxationa and
and complications which may Threaten 10
render the Berlin treaty a dead lottcr.
All seem 10 agree that by single bold
step OF a very few hours duration tho east
ern question has once more been quickly but
effoctually roopened, Although Appearances
seem TO favor tho idea that tho Prince OF
Bulgaria has an understanding, II must DO
remembered that ho has long cohsed 10 be a
fayorlto with Russia, owing 10 tho resoute
stand ho made against Russian interference
In Bulgarian affairs
Prince Alexandor's quarrols with the Rus
sian officers sent virtually 10 hold tho prince
In check, but OF whom ho ultimately succeed
cd In completely Kidding himself are we'll
known. 80 far from Prince Alexander hAv-
ing In matter OF this kind tho certain sup
port or oven the countonance OF Russia, II 10
we'll known that Russian PanslayiSts have
becn constantly seeking his downfall,
Already tho continental pres take tho
Wow cabod from ConstantinoplO, Tho ria'
Ing 10 hailed with great satisfaction by tho
Russian papers, which regard tho proclama-
tion OF the union az the inevitable result OF
tho state OF affairs In tho Balkan peninsula.
The Noyosti expresses approx ension as TO
the ultimate consequences OF tho event.
Tho morning papers comment editorially
at great length ON the affair, Tho Times
believes tho rising local aud apasmodic, and
not the work OF Russian agonts; although
'this roopening OF the complex and difficult
group OF political problems popuarly known
under tho comprehensive namo of tho cast
orn question, is too monacing TO tho peace OF
the world TO allow England 10 look at II
with Indifference Per contra, the Stand
ard saya ut IL difficult 10 believe that 30
fragrant a violation OF tho treaty OF Berlin
would have been yonturod upon or supported
by tho prince Of Bulgaria, unless II was
snown that II would not bo prohibited and
reversed by tho German powers
II Ia almost equally incredible that II was
inStigatod by Russia, unless the permission
waa previously accorded by the cabinets OF
Vlonna and Berlin. In other words we OK
pcrlenco tho groatest difficulty in believing
that what has happened In eastern Roumolia
Ia accidental or fortuitou'," Tho Nows docs
not credit that what has happened was pro-
arranged outside OF the two countries now
united, and adds; "Tho Bulgorians desire
TO DO independent alike OF Russia aud Tur-
kcy--froo 10 develop their own resources
and mako their own laws"
