BALKAN COMPLICATIONS.
RUSSIA PLANNING THE DISPUTE
WITH SCHEMES.

The Gar Bending Every Effort to Secure
The Deposition OF Prince Alexander
Queen Victoria Bound That He shall
not be Dethroned-The British Heir
Apparent Holding AloOf.
LONDON, Nov. TIN European inter-
national affairs attention is concentrated
upon the court and diplomatic intrigues
In progress for and against the deposition
OF Prince Alexander In Bulgaria. Queen
Victoria and her ministers, it Is under
stood, are determined to keep Princess
Beatrice's brother-in-law upon the throne
as ruler of united Bulgaria and Roumelia.
On the other hand, the Gear and royal
house of Denmark are equally resolved to
accomplish his overthrow. This latter
combination are pushing the claims of
young Prince Waldemar to succeed
Prince Alexander. Prince WAldemar is
son Of King Christian of Denmark, and
recently married Princess Marie, daugh-
ter of the Duke de Chartres.
THE CARS AIM.
Some gossips pretend to see in the Cars
intrigue design TO win France away
from her partnership with England
and Italy concerning the Balkan ques-
ton. Ii might please the Monarchists of
France, but 1t certainly would displease
the Republicans and cement their rea-
ton with England. 1t is also understood
that the German Crown Prince, Fred
rick William. has become a warm sup
porter Of Queen Nictoria'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 dep0sed I'm
favor Of Prince Waldemar, to push the
Duke OF Luechtengerg forward for the
Bulgarian throne.
sKOBELOFF's BROTHER-IN-LAW.
The Duke is a brother-in-law Of the late
Gen. Skobeloh, and he would undoubtedly
work out Russian interests in the Balkans
if he had a chance.
Mr.. Lascelles, the British agent al Sofia,
at present accompanies Prince Alexander
everywhere he goes. 1t is reported that
he does this under special instructions
from Her Maiesty's government, and that
his conduct Is accepted by Bulgarians
and Roumelians as a mark of England's
support of the union.
The Prince OF Wales, who has in recent
years become very prudent, holds entirely
aloOf from any participation In the Bull
garian affairs, and does not permit him
self to be swayed by family influences to
either the German or Russian side Of the
house.
CAUSE OF HIS STAND.
He apparently takes the ground that
the position Of his relative Prince Alexan-
der depends entirely upon political con-
sideratiOns, and that by them alone will
it be finally adjusted. 1t is difficult TO
ascertain just what Germany's position
is towards Prince Alexander. 1t is re-
ported though that Prince Bismarck and
Count KalnOky, the Austro- Hungarian
Minister OF Foreign Affairs, have agreed
10 maintain him in power If he will sub
NIT to the decisions Of the Balkan con-
ference. Austria will strongly oppose the
candidacy OF the Duke of Luechtenberg
for the Bulgarian throne il Russia sue
ceeds in accomplishing the deposition of
Prince Alexander.
SALISBURY'S ALLEGED INSTRUCTIONS.
Dispatches from COnstantlnople to-
night state that Prime Minister Salisbury
has sent final Instructions 10 Mr.. White,
the British representative at the Balkan
conference, ordering him TO cooperate
with the other delegates to the conference
in securing an invitation to Prince
Alexander to restore status quo as a pre-
liminary basis for definite settlement OF
the acknowledgements matter, and
afterwards TO advocate the necessity of
giving formal sanction to the demon
strated wishes of ROumelans by confirm
ing q union Of ROumelia with Bulgaria
under the RUE OF Iflnce Alexander. with
separate administrations for each State,
as they desire them.
STATUS QUO MUST BE RESTORED.
VIENNA, Nov 7.-During the discus
sion on the foreign budget in the Austrian
delegation to-day, Count KalnOky re-
iterated that the status quo ante must be
restored in Roumelia.
sIrTINGs OF THE CONFERENCE.
CONsTANTINOPLE, Nov. THE Balkan
conference resumed its sitting to-day. 1t
reported that NJ. Neid0f, the Russian
Ambassador, stated that Russia will
withdraw her demand for the deposition
Of Prince Alexander. After the sitting
Baron Calyce, the AustrO-Hungsrian Am
bassador, expressed the conviction that
war would be avoided il the Bulgarians

ence.
RUssIA's OPPOSITION.
ST. PETERSBURG, soy. THE Journal

movement is undeserVing Of sympathy
because 1t is a violation Of the Protocols
and not a revolution. 'fhe union OF Bull
