ROUMELIAN RETOLT.
The PopnIace of Phillipolis IN Rebellion
The Bulgarian Army Modified.

10y cable to the Dispatch
LONDON. September l9.-The popu-
lace of Philipopolis, the capital OF East
ern Roumelia, almost to man rose in
rebellion yesterday, seized the Cover
nor-General, deposed the Government,
and proclaimed union with Bulgaria.
A provisional government was estab-
lished. The revolt was so well planned
that no disorders or bloodshed occurred,
rybody being in sympathy with the
movement except the Government Off
cials. Foreigners in the city are per-
fectly safe from harm, as is also the
property Of foreign residents. lmme-
diately after the organization Of the
provisional government the militia was
sworn in, taking an oath of allegiance
TO Prince Alexander Of Bulgaria.
1t is generally believed in diplomatic
circles that Russia arranged the pro-
gramme Of the rising, and suggested a
union with Bulgaria. No definite state
ment can at present be made as to what
action the signatory Powers of the
treaty Of Berlin will take respecting
the matter. Eastern RoumelIa was
created by the Congress of Berlin in
1873, and was given an autonOmic gov
eminent, though forming an integral
part Of the Turkish empire. The Gov
ernor-General was appointed by the
Porte, subject to the approval of the
treaty Powers.
SOFIA, September l9.-The Bulga-
rian army has been modified and
corps has been sent to the Roumeliar
frontier. Prince Alexander has pro
ceeded to Phllipolis, and has appointed
as commissioner NJ. Strausky, who i
now president Of the Roumelian Pro
yincial Government.
PARIS. September l9.-It is though
here that Roumelian affairs will lead to
general European imbroglio. The Eas
is most inhammable.
LONDON. September l9.-ltis stated
that Prince Alexander of Bulgaria ha
been assured of the support Of Russia
Germany, and Austria. lie will SEM
an army to Roumelia, and will defy tn
Turks. The Sultan of Turkey has ap
pealed to the Powers to enforce tn
treaty of Berlin. 1t is not believed
that Lord Salisbury will not Interfere
The Liberals applaud the action of tn
| Roumellans.

GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.
Military Movements In India-rhe Feeling
Against Woiseley.
by cable to the Dispatcl

by cable to the Dispatch.
LONDON. September l9.-General
Mcpherson has been instructed by the
Indian Government to advance his out
posts to kishmakud, which is thirty
miles beyond the Pischeen cantonment'
a position which will afford the prompt
occupation of Candahar whenever that is
deemed advisable.
The arrival in Lendon of General
Roberts. the present commander-ln-
chief Of her Maiesty's forces in India,
was made the signal for an outburst OF
discomfort among the returned officers
ofthe Suakim-Berber expedition against
General Wolseley.
Sir T.. Hawley, under the nom de
pl,Ble Of " Scrutator," has published
in the Times series Of charges against
the decorated commander Of the khar-
toum expedition. Among them Is one
that General Wolseley suppressed the
names which General Graham recon-
mendcd for promotion on account OF
actual services and substituted for them
the names of a number Of his personal
and court fayOrltes.
..Scrutator says that the rea-
son Wolseley meanly ignored the
services OF the troops and officers
engaged in the Suakim-Berber ex-
pedition was that neither he nor
the Duke of Connaught nor any
of the other military favorites of royal
ty had any share in that campaign. 1t
is quite evident that the prevailing SEN
timent Of the army officers in London IS
bitter against Wolseley. Efforts are
being made to have his conduct OF the
Nile campaign made the subject of pa,-
liamentary discussion, with view to
securing a searching official inquiry
into it.
The British Admiralty having de-
cided to not continue the charters Of the
fast vessels secured for cruising pur-
poses during the Anglo-Russian dis
pute. foreign governments are acquiring
titles to many Of them. Italy has
bought the Stirling Castle, the fastest
steamer in the China trade. Russia
has offered handsome sum for some Of
the steamers engaged in the Mexican
trade and for other Atlantic crafts suit
able for cruisers.

TO urge that they be allowed to occupy

A Montreal special Of the 18th says:
Charles Wilson, who resides on Cry
Councillor street. is possessed OF .
young and beautiful wife. The couple
move in the best society. Some time
ago the husband became suddenly ana
unaccoun,ably afflicted with . very
queer illness. lie consulted his phy-
sician, who, while treating him TO the
best Of his ability, was unable to en-
tighten him as to the manner in which
he had contracted the disease. Young
Wilson, however, in spite Of the efforts
of his medical adviser, continued to
grow worse until an astounding revela-
ton solved the difficulty.
1t appears that Mrs. Wilson was
enamored of BERTHE Smith, a highly-re-
spectacle young man with whom she
spent some time at Murray Bay, in
company with a Mrs. Beaudry, lately a
widow. who had also found lover in
the person Of a well-known alderman.
Affairs were progressing swimmlngly
until Mr.. Smith. father Of BERTHE, be-
coming alarmed at the extravaganza oil
his son, conceived the happy idea oil
opening his trunk, when to his surprise
he came across a number OF letters from
Mrs. Wilson, in which she frequently
stated that she was slowly doing away
with Mr.. Wilson cher husband) by adj
ministering to him doses of ground
glass.
This was a horrible discovery for
him, and not daring to approach MIR.
Wilson, he went to the latter brother
in.law, a well-known contractor. and
confided to him the letters. lie lost nc
time in calling upon his afflicted
brother-in-law, who had already the
appearance of man in the last stages
of consumption, and revealed to him the
secret of his illness. Mr.. Wilson
could not be prevailed upon, however,
to mistrust the affections of his wife
but when the letters were produced and
he recognized her handwriting and
read the endearing terms in which
she addressed young Smith. to-
gether with her descriptions of how she
was progressing with her work Of SLOW
murder, he gave in. He finally decided
to leave his wife in the hands of hi
brother-in-law to do as he thought best
The guilty and inhuman wife, hearing
that her murderous plans had been dis
covered and that her husband knew all
decided to never again see his face an'
hurriedly left the city, thereby avoiding
prosecution. She is now in Boston
stopping under an assumed name at on
Of the principal hotels.

young son of Edward Turnbach died here
to-day from the effects ofhazingreceyed
last Wednesday at the hands of several
of his schoolmates. The scholars OF
the public school to which young Turn
bach had just been admitted make a
practice Of initiating new scholars by
making them run the gauntlet through
two lines Of ten to twenty boys on each
side, they punching the victim with
their fists as he passes through. They
injured the little fellow so badly IN the
region Of the kidneys that he died in
great agony to-day. No action has
been taken in the matter, but it is
likely an investigation will be made by
the school authorities.

lations and maps. The geological party
will follow after the typographical. 1t
will take some years to complete the
survey.
Much interest has been manifested in
the detection and capture Of Young
Eagle, the man who so adroitly robbed
the mails between Salisbury and Albe-
marie. The inspectors caught Eagle
last week, and were en- route to Sails
bury with him, when an accident to a
freight train near Chattanooga Tenn,
caused delay. Both inspectors fell
asleep, and Eagle slipped out into the
darkness and disappeared. Postmaster
Boyden, at Salisbury, has again got on
his track and telegraphed the authori-
ties at Washington. The postmaster
has been the most efficient detective in
this instance.
The tobacco crop in Western North
Carolina is unquestionably very fine.
This is the report from every section.
Planters, as a rule, are making a sue
cess of curing their crops. Every indi-
cation points to lucrative yield.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., September 10.
The Star asserts that Representative
Warner intends to make war upon the
Civil-Service Commission, and that he
expects to be able to bring about its re-
organization. Mr. Warner is credited
with saying that the present commits
sioners arrogate to themselves all the
power of the Executive. and, by en-
veloping themselves in the cloak of
secrecy, make it possible for them to
manipulate appointments to suit them
selves, without the least danger of their
methods becoming known. The COM

must be put in their places who will
treat the Democrats with fairness and
put a proper construction upon the law.
There is nothing in the law, he says, to

who have passed satisfactory examl-
nation, and selecting from the whole
