The Young Sovereign Of Servia.
The revolution that took place in Eastern
Roumelia, in September last, upset the ar
rangements made under the treaty of Ber-
lin in 1873. BY the union which it effected
of Eastern Roumelia with Bulgaria, under
the government of Alexander, Prince Of
Bulgaria, discomfort was created in Servia,
Greece and Roumania. These little states
wish to derive any profit there may be in "a
new DEAL" provided that the union brought
about by the revolution of September is
sanctioned by the powers who were parties
to the treaty of Berlin. 1t looks now as if
the policy of the powers is to restore Eastern
Roumelia and Bulgaria to their divided
state, and to the same relations towards
Turkey reepect gely as before the recent
revelation.
While diplomacy halted, Servia invaded
Bulgaria, seeking, doubtless, to make sure
of getting territory in return for the blood
and treasure spent in the invasion. King
Milan led his army himself, and succeeded
in winning important advantages in the en-
emy's country. The latest battles, however,
have checked what had previously appeared
to be an easy advance to Sofia, the capital
of Bulgaria, by the Servian army; and the
submission of Alexander, Prince Of Bulga-
ria, to the Sultan, and recent Servian defeats
have simplifed for the powers the solution
of the Eastern question for the present.
Probably the arrangement previous to the
revolution of last September will be re-
stored.
Milan is still young, having been born as
recently us 1854. He was only II when
called 10 succeed his uncle, Prince Michail,
who was assassinated rs ruler of Servia. In
1872 he was declared to be of age, and took
charge Of the government in person. When
only - years Of age he was married to the
daughter of a Russian officer. One son, AL
exander, has been born to the couple.
Prince Milan became a conspicuous fig
ure in European history in 1876, when Ser
via declared war against Turkey. This be-
gan campaign very disastrous 10 Milan
and his country. Russia attacked Turkey
in 1877. only few weeks after conditions
of peace had been signed between Servia
and the Ottoman Empire. At the return of
peace, when the powers of Europe revised
the treaty of San Stefano, and substituted
for it that of Berlin, Servia WAS made inde-
pendent of Turkey. In March, 1862, Prince
Milan became King Milan, as was unani-
mously desired bv the National Assembly, |
in session at Belgrade, the capital of Seryia.

FREDERICK II. WINSTON.

The Eminent Citizen Of Chicago
Nominated Minister to Persia.
President Cleveland has selected Fred
erick Winston to represent the United
States Government in Persia. He will re-
side in Teheran, the capital, city Of 10o,-
0oO inhabitants. The court Of Persia IL
one of great magnidcenee, the sovereign
having the whole revenue Of the country
at his disposal. Narrs-ed- Din, the present
Shah, is worth $2O0oo,0OO in money and
property. 1t is remembered that when he
visited Europe few yeras ago, his dia-
monds were tho envy Of the ladies.
Living in Persia as the Minister Of great
nation is more apt to diminish than to In
crease the wealth OF the representative. Mr..
Winston's salary will be 5000 year only.
He is a man possessed Of largo property,
and can afford to represent his country at
loss to his pocket, but with much of gain
in experience and observation. Durin9
the last three years he has Travelled in Eu-
rope. He is member of the celebrated
1roquois Club. Our portrait presents in
dications of the splendid physique with
which nature has gifted him. His health
ful frame is tall and large, his face is
bronzed and weather-beaten, his voice
strong and his step vigorous.
The geographical position of Persia gives
1t importance at this time, when The United
Kingdom and Russia are striving, az yet by
peaceful MEANS for snnremanv in nont..l
Asia. Wise administration in Persia would
profit by the situation as it relates to that
country. Both England and the Govern
ment of the Czdr are interested to promote
industrial improvement in the interesting
country governed BY the Shah. Better days
in Persia ought to mean considerable bus
mess between it and the United States, We
can only add the hope that Mr.. Winston'e
residence in Teheran will be advantageous
to both the nation he represents and that
to which he Is DOW sent.

OUR LETTER FROM BROADBRiM

Gen. sha!er'. .Arrest-Coney Islands AM
gression-German Opers-The Curse and
Blessing of Riches-Art, Political aud
General Notes.
NEW YORK, Nov. %, 1885.
EIToR CHEF:
A dreadful shock to New York was the
arrest of General Alexander Shaler for
bribery. Gen. Shaler has been a top saw
yer in the National Guard for twenty-five
years, and as he walked the streets he looked
right over the heads of other men. The
humble stone-cutter of thirty years ago was
lost sight of in the military hero who won
his spurs on the hardest battle fields of the
Rebellion, and stood at the head of the Ma
tionai Guard of II State that had given near
ly half million of men to the defense of
the Union. He received the emoluments
of a dozen Offices, and it is now asserted
that he sold himself and his high Office for
q paltry 5000. The unearthing of this
matter is brought about by duel which is
now going on between two factions of tbs
Democratic party, each of which appears
intent on Destroying the other. Mayor Edi-
son helped to make Gen. shaler President
of the Board of Health just previous to his
retirement. Gen. Shaler is Republican,
and the appointment gave mortal offence
to the Democrats, and to no one more than
the incoming Mayor Grace, who wanted
the place for one of bic own henchmen.
Mayor Grace had hardly got warm in his
seat when the war on Shaler commenced.
Shaier's friends retorted by calling atten-
ton to Mayor Graoe's connection With Fer
dinand Ward. The World threw it's tre-
mendous influence against Mayor Grace,
and published the transcript of his profits
of $4,000. All this has resulted in dead
ly hatred and bitterness, which will not be
satisfied short of the destruction of one
party or the other. The position of Gen.
Shaler is not an enviable one. His rather
over bearing manner, and his tendency to
look down on everybody he considered be-
meath him (and that was about nineteen
tventieths of the community, has caused
him to be heartily hated by most of his
subordinates, and there are few to grieve
outside of his own immediate family, and
many to rejoice at his downfall. He was one
of considerable number of men in these
United States who found it difficult to for

When the police gathered al headquarters
fnr roll call at o'clock last evening. il was
evident that something of an unusual nature
was in the wind The men were gathered
in groups of three or four and talking in
excited whispers. Finally. Adam Nicklas
burst from the amtt-rnum in a
! high state of excitement and announced that
he wouldn't work another day; that lie
would live on a dollar and quarter 4 day
first. and some one else might take his place
among the dcnizenS Of the hill. Ii was
soon evident that all the force except VII
Son Were determined on the same move.
A little inquiry proved that the cause of
the whole racket MAS a rumnr Ia the effect
that the mayor would at council an hour
later recommend the promotion Of
James e. Walker to be- chief of
police. and James Mckay To- he assistant
chief. To this arrangement the coppcrS OBJ
jerted most strongly. thinking that some
officer who had been on the force murr than
a month and knew something about police
work and discipline should be- selected for
assistant chief. Most of them seemed to think
that Officer VIM Mills was the proper man fur
the place. No objections I" Walker aS

they had gotten through he said
he was glad they had come in and stated
