THE OLD WORLD.

In European international affairs, inter-
est is concentrated on the court and diplo-
matte intrigues which are in progress for
and against the deposition of Prince Alex
ander in Bulgaria. Queen Victoria and
her ministers are determined to keep Prin-
cess Beatrice's brother-in-law upon the
throne as ruler of United Bulgaria and
Roumelia. On the other hand, the car
and the royal house of Denmark are equal
ly resolved to accomplish his overthrow
This latter combination is pushing the
claims Of young Prince Waldemar to sue
ceed Alexander. Waldemar is the son Of
King Christian of Denmark, and recently
married Princess Marie, daughter of the
Due de Chartres. Some gossips pretend to
see in the czar's intrigue design to win
France away from her partnership with
England and Italy concerning the Balkan
question. It might please the Monarchists
of France, but it certainly would displease
the Republicans and cement their relations
with England. 1t is also understood that
the German crown prince, Frederick Will
liam, has become a warm supporter of
Queen Victoria's contest in favor of Prince
Alexander.

The bonded debt of the territory is $685.
600; the tax levy is three mills; during the
year the government and the railroads have
disposed of 5,O00, 900 acres; the counties of
Cass, Grand Forks, Walsh, Stutsman, Bill
lings, Minnehaha and Yankton, show $2,-
SOC, 900 invested in manufactures: at Medo-
ia Marquis de Mores has 1896, 900 invested
in his abattores; during the past year the
Milwaukee Brewing Company have built
ut Bismarck brewery costing 100000.
Concluding his report, Gov. Pierce saws:
The year has been q prosperous one for
the territory. Not only have the crops
been excellent, but the prices commanded
have been very much In advance Of those
received year ago. The result is q
huoyancy of feeling on the part of the
people most encouraging and reassuring.
As whole, the farmers were never SO
prosperous as at present. With the single
exception of wheat, the aggregate yield
of small grains for 1885 is largely in
excess of that Of the proceeding year.
The reduction in the acreage of wheat
was caused by the low price Of staples in
1884. Surveys for a number of new lines of
railroad have been made during the year,
and another twelve months will see many
new enterprises of this character under
headway or completed. The immigration
to the territory has been very large during
the year, and colonies Of considerable size
from Pennsylvania and other Eastern
states have purchased tracts of land. The
death rate was 5.45 to the 1,O9O, which is
said to be among the smallest in the United

Europe diminishes daily. The conference

ed to assemble at once and finish the work
in few days, has proved exceedingly dill
atory. Russia in the meantime has Offend
ed both friends and opponents by public
insult to Prince Alexander. Depriving
him of his Russian colonelcy is meant as a
personal affront, and implies political os-
tracism. England continues efforts to ad-
just the quarrel and prevent the restora-
ton of Eastern Roumelia to Turkey, but
makes no headway. Russia insists that
Turkey shall enforce the treaty of Berlin by
arms, which means war, because Belgaria
will resist. If England carries its point,
Servia and Greece will both rush to arms.
Neitheris likely to wait if the conference be
prolonged. Nobody even suggests solu-
tion consistent with peace, unless Russia
should be convinced that an outbreak of
hostilities involves risk and general war.
