basis of argument. This may be
taken as high sounding back down
aud itamouuts to simply thls-Itussia,
Germany and Austria will decline TO
discuss the situation upon the only ba-
sis acceptable to England; France aud
Italy while these three powers will
not discuss II on the basis demanded
by tho empires. Hence, If the con-
ference adjourns barren of results,
the whole question will be relegated
to Turkey which tried to escape Il by
throwing IL upon the conference and
TURKEY WILL NOT KNOW
which way to turn, for if she tries to
dcpose Alexander aud disunite Bull
garia and Roumelia she will be acting
contrary to the declared policy of
England ana her two partners, while
II she allows the union TO continue,
She will be opposing the wishes of
Russia and her sister empires, and If
Turkey remains inactive, no foresight
can discern the Importance of the out
come of the continuance of Alexan-
der's sovereignty. The chances are
that Turkey, unless driven by sell
defense to fight the rebe!lious
states will remain inactive aud allow
the Balkan mine TO continue being
charged with political dynamite until
the inevitable explosion rends Eu-
rope.
Dispatches from Constantinople to-
night state very positively that Prime
Minister Salisbury has explicitly in
structed the English representative
at the conference TO insist for Eng
land, upon the continuance of the un-
ion OF Bulgaria and Itoumelia under
Prince Alexander. The dispatches
also state that the French delegate
has received identical instructions
from his government with those sent
to the English delegate on all the
main points of the controversy and
that Russia has ordered her delegate
to oppose the Bulgarian union and
insist upon the deposition
of Prince Alexander. The latest
advices from Constantinople are that
Turkey, with the aid Of German
officers, is doing her utmost to i'm
prove the condition of her army and
that German officers are advising the
sultan in his civil affairs.
FROM PARIS
it is telegraphed tonight that NJ. he
Lesseps has applied to the French
government for permission to issue
new Panama Canal bonds to the
amount of $4,000, 900 to defray what
he describes as needed expenses in
excess of the original estimates for
the isthmus waterway. In his APP
plication NJ. DeLesscps states that
IL the French chamber of deputies
grants his present request 1t will
save $3,50O,000 in interest yearly
as the grant will include permits
sion to raise as much of the
money as possible by the sale of tick
cts for lottery drawings.
IL is stated that some OF the Genoa
papers declare that with view OF
stimulating interest in the celebra-
tion OF the fourth centenary of the
discovery of America by Columbus,
the Chevalier Raldi has published the
secret he has kept for twenty years,
namely: His possession of the identi-
cal chains with which Babodella
loaded the wrists of Columbus when
the latter was sent back prisoner to
Spain in the year 1900. The chevalier
says he secured these valuable relics
after long and expensive journey
made in Spain and America for the
purpose, aud that he has kept the
story ofhis discovery and possession
of the secret for. twenty years fol-
private reasons, which no longer ga
list.
The scandal concerning the late
Cardinal Lorenzo Nina, papal secre.
tary of state, to the effect that he had
wife in the person of his CONCIERGE
to whom he bequeathed all his prop
erty ON the alleged ground of graft
tude for her services as nurse to hin
during a long period of critical Ill
ness, is revived by the declarations o
his relatives that they intend to con
test the will on the ground that TIN
cardinal was unduly influenced il
, making it.
