SEMLIN. Dec. IA rumor is current
that Vukotic, secretary of the supreme
court OF Montenegro, has informed an init
mate friend that a Russo-Montenegri plot
existed to form Servian state to consist Of
Servia, Bosnia, Herzegovina and Monte
negro; that an assassin was hired for 40, 900
roubles to kill King Milan, and that an ac-
complice divulged the plot. 1t is rumored
that Vukotic is now volunteer in
the Servian camp. Rumors are
rife of hard fighting between
PrOt and Belo- Palanka and of Bulgarian
attacks on the Servian forces at Widin and
the retiring of Gen. Leshganec. The Bull
garian government has received from the
powers collective note announcing the
appointment Of commission to mark an
armistice line. 1t is believed that Prince
Alexander will refuse to recognize the COM
mission. The Servians are evacuating the
Widin district. The understanding between
the sultan and Prince Alexander, includ-
ing the porte's consent to the personal union
of the Bulgarians. The military at
taches forming the commission to mark
the armistice line between the Servian and
Bulgarian armies will leave Vienna to-mor-
row for Nissa. Col. Kaulbars, the Russian
military attache at Vienna, will be presi-
dent of the commission. The report in
dispatch from Belgrade on Sunday that
bloody engagement had occurred at Waikiki
IZor between two battalions OF Bulgarians
| i'd body Of Servians, in which the for
mer were scattered, leaving many dead and
wounded and the town itself captured,
lacks confirmation and is generally discred-
| tied.
Prince Alexander, replying to the pow
| ers, says that Servia must eyacuate Widin.
| He is willing to disarm if Servia will in
demnify Bulgaria for the losses sustained
| by the war.
LONDON. Dec. 14.-The Daily News is
anxious that Mr.. Gladstone should take
| Office in order to prevent the conservatives
! from fomenting an Irish agitation and to
secure the support of the Wings. Tenny-
sen writes that he believes disestablishment
and disendowment would be a prelude to
the downfall to much that is great and best
in England. There are doubtless abuses
in the church, but they are reme-
diable. He wishes that the politicians
who look upon America as an ideal govern
ment, would borrow her Conservative re-
constitution as safeguard to England's
/ constitution against ignorant and reckless
theorists. The press association states that
it has been officially informed that the gov
ernment will take the earliest occasion
to ascertain whether it enjoys the
confidence of the house of commons.
Sir Charles Dixie, speaking at Chelsea to-
day, said that the Radicals would not OBJ
struct, but would endeavor to shape, the
Tory policy. He declared the occupation
of Dongola to be mistake. The cabinet
had session of two hours and half to-
day and decided to meet the new parlia-
ment and submit a program of legislation.
including bill dealing with the subject Of
county government in England and Ireland.
The ministers were unanimously confident
of the Wings support. The cabinet will re-
assemble tomorrow. The cabinet unani-
mously refuse to receive or to make over
lures for an alliance with the Parnellites.
They will also meet parliament with pro-
gram of English church reform and land
tenure amendment bills. Mr.. Gladstone, as
privy councillor, has written to the queen
on the subject of parliament for Ireland.
The Daily News believes that Lord Ash
bourne compiled scheme for Irish rule
which was approved by Lord Carnavron,
but which was rejected by the rest of the
cabinet.
