The RouMELlAA REVOLUTION


Arrangement An Appeal TO the
Powers.
Prince Alexander of Bulgaria has con-
frmed NJ. Stransky as provisional Governor
of Roumelia. The army of Bulgaria is
being modified, and when united with the
Roumelia military will, il is estimated, form
an effective force of $1,000 men. Russian
officers command the bulk of .Roumelia's
militia. Bands of BulgaFians, under COM
mand of Russian officers, are entering ROu-
melia. Advices from Berlin and Vienna
favor the opinion that peace will be main
tanned, on the ground that the revolution
was concerted in st. Petersburg with the
assent of Austria under an agreement made
at the Kremsier interview, according to the
terms of which Austria is at liberty to annex
Bosnia and Herzegovina. If the Porte
should threaten to adopt violent measures,
Russia will intervene in favor of Roumella.
All communication between Turkey and
Bulgaria has been cut off. Turkey has
stopped the issue of Railway tickets for
points beyond Adrianople.
A council of Ministers was held at Con-
stantinople, presided over by the Sultan, at
which it was decided to appeal to the
Powers to maintain the rights of the Porte
in Roumelia. Orders have been issued to
collect an army corps at Adrianople.
The French i'm Madagascar.
Admiral Mot, the French commander in
Madagascar, has asked for reinforcements,
and the troop ship Scamandar is about to
leave Brest for Tamatav with force of 700
men, The French squadron at Madagascar
will also be increased, raising Admiral
Miogs command to 81, 900 men and seven
teen men-of-war.
Spanish Operations.
The Spanish man-of-war Aragon estab-
lished garrison on the chief of the Pele%
islands No traces of Germans were dis
covered on the islands. Spain will pur-
chase two men-of-war that are being built
in England for the Japanese Government.
The ships are nearly completed.

RoUMELIAN REBELLION.
Union of Eastern ROumeIia with Bull
rariR.

ERriR.
The populace of Philippopolis, the capital
of Eastern Roumelia, almost to man rose
in rebellion on September 18th, seized the
Governor General, deposed the Govern
ment and proclaimed union with Bulgaria.
A provisional government was established.
The revolt wss so well planned that no dis
order or bloodshed occurred, everybody be-
ing in sympathy with the movement except
the Government officials. Foreigners in
the city are perfectly safe from harm, as is
also the property of foreign residents.
Immediately after the organization of d
provisional government militia were sworn
in, taking the oath of allegiance to Prince
Alexander of Bulgaria. It is generally be-
lieved that Russia. arranged the programme
of uprising and suggested the union with
Bulgaria. Eastern Roumelia was created
by the Congress of Berlin in 1878 and was
given autonomic government, though form
ing an integral part of the Turkish empire.
The Governor General was appointed by
the Porte, subject to the approval of the
treaty powers.

Takes Action Against Cholera.
The matter of the infection of Central
American and Asiatic ports was discussed
at a meeting of the Board of Health, San
Francisco. and it was resolved to re-enforce
the order made last year, that all vessels
from Central American ports must have
been at least eight days from their last port,
or eight days must have elapsed since the
last case of sickness was reported on the
vessel, before they are allowed to discharge
in this port. On the statements made IN
the Quarantine Officers report, Shanghai,
Hongkong and Nagasaki, Japan, were de-
clared infected ports.
Health Officer Meares called attention to
the importation of rags from infected Asiatlc
districts, and suggested that the Board
should take action to prevent its contlnu-
anee. DIR. Perry was appointed committee
to ascertain if the order of the United States
Treasury in regard to the importation OF
rags. which is now in force in New York, is
also in effect here.

EDITOR STEAD.


the Production Of His Evidence.
The Government Prosecutor in the Pau
Mall Gazette cases has intimated to the
defendants his determination to oppose the
production of evidence not bearing directly
on the charge of abducting the girl Eliza
Armstrong. The detective agents continue
to scour the Continent in search of cases to
support the Gdzette'S revelations, the defense
intending, if Judge Vaughan refuses to hear
them, to bring forward the witnesses to the
{" Maiden Tribute disclosures on the trial
in the Criminal Court. Mrs. Jarrett has
been in Paris tracing the English female
detective sent over by the Government.
She discovered the procuress Jeffries at
Brussels, and offered her a large sum to
return to England and give evidence as to
the position in society of the houses where
the traffic in young girls is alleged to have
been carried on. Jeffries is willing to make
startling disclosures if guaranteed against
fur Their prosecution.
The Detective Departments.
The Methodists and their agents are sup
porting Mr. Stead, and assert that they have
unearthed evidence that Howard Vincent,
Director of the Detective Department at
Scotland Yard, recently testified before the
Commissioner of the House OF Lords to
the effect that in many parts of London any
number OF girls OF IA or younger may De
obtained for the vilest purposes. He assured
the Commission that these children were
regularly sold with the full knowledge and
connivanee of their mothers, who looked to
this means of meeting the household ex-
penses with unnatural complacency.
Steady Appeal.
In long and i'm passioned speech at the
Antwerp Conference for the Regulation of
Vice, Stead said: " Let me be accused for
time and for eternity, but let my accusers
seek to do the work tried to do by better
means than l used. Even if you believe
my work to be not inspired by God; even
if you set it down to the devil, rejoice in
the good that is coming from it. He i'm
plored the conference to assist in removing
the "damnable enormities :" of the regula-
ton system.

outraged girl is a daughter or a sister, you

thing to do with the internal traffic, whether

Gadstone's manifesto viii be issued IN
the form of an address to his constituents
and consists of twenty sections. 1t Is ex-
tremely sagaciOus and statesmanlike. 1t
shows the distinct recognition of Radical
advances. He regards the future with
cheerfulness. He says the errors of legisla-
ton are due to Tory distinctions. He
claims credit for the Afghan boundary set

broken to pieces and left it friendly by
yielding the Transvaal he avoided "a war

out the danger He advocates the with

that honor admits, saying: admit that
we committed serious errors of judgment at
a great cost of treasure and precious lives

these were rebuked by the opposition. Our
responsibility for our mistakes cannot be

averse to the pressing of the gratuitous Pri-

ON THE IRISH QUESTION
He says: ''I cannot believe the political
genius of this nations illustriOus history
