LONDON, Aug. % The deposition OF
Prince Alexander of Bulgaria and the
formation of provisional ministry in
the interests OF RussiB, to run things
temporarily, reopens the whole Balkan
question, and no one is bold enough to-
predict what the next few days may
bring forth. The news of the revolution |
was q complete surprise to Europe, peo- |
pie having come to regard the predic. |
tion OF Bismarck when Alexander of
BatteDb berg assumed the throne, that
his sovereignty would prove pleasant
"Reminiscences, rs too hasty. The event,
however, has proved again the Iron
Chancellor's title to be regarded as the
most far seeing statesman In Europe
Although there were rumors during the
past week of an uneasy feeling prevail
Ing In the Balkans, little attention was
paid to them-chiehy because OF the
absorbing topics at home-and no idea
existed in what direction the matter
was tending.
All sorts of rum ors prevail. 1t is
said that the Porte was notified of the
coming event. 1t Is even rumored in
Berlin that both Connt KalDoky, the
Austrian premier, and Bismarck were
cognizant of Russia's proposed move
ment against Prince Alexander, and
assented to 1t.
There can be no doubt, however, that
Russia has been working actively and
cautiously with her agents at the Bull
garian capital, and it is even limited
that Alexander himself, finding that
his burden was more than he could car
lry, was party to the scheme of abdica-
tion. France is anxiously awaiting the
outcome of Germany's alleged deal
with the Czar, and all the absent pre-
miers have hastily returned to their re-
|spective capitalist
STORY OF THE DEPOSITION.
The tale of Alexander's deposition
can st present only be CLEANED from
lmeagre dispatches received from vari-
Ious foreign sources, all news from Bull
Igaria comes at present through official
Icouriers, and no private person is al
lowed to either enter or leave the prin-
Icipality. The telegraph lines have all
been stopped from operation. A tele-
lgram from Vienna TO the Times says
that Karaveloff, the Prime Minister,
tentered the palace at Sophia and ex.
} planned to Prince Alexander that this
; lpub.ic opinion of Bulgaria was dissatis-
| fed with his policy and demanded his
} deposition. Prince Alexander said; 81
see no friends. l can not reeis.."
Prince Alexander was taken com.
!. pletely by surprise. He was astonished
by the sudden bursting of the plot upon
him. M. Karaveloff had managed the
whole affair with such secrecy that the
lonly indication of the coming storm
t | was the mutinous spirit noticeable
l among the troops. He was escorted to
Y i W Widdin, to embark then ce on Sunday
: for Severin, in Wallac CHA, Roumania
: and 1t is stated that Lord Iddesleigh hst
s received authentic information to-day
that the Prince Is in safe refuge in thu
r territory Of King Charles. At Bucha
= lrest much excitement and anxiety pre-
o ivail.
Isl The Bulgarian provisional govern
q ment's proclamation announcing th
is deposition of the Prince said: "H
It (Alexander) rende great services o.
n the field of battle, but politically he / a.
e too little regard for Bulgaria's position
a las o Slav State and maintenance of re
lations with Russia. His deposition O.
d this account was necessity"
e 1.-THE NEWS IN THE CHIEF CAPITALS
The news in the capitals Of the grea
~ powers created deep impression and
severe commotion ensued on all tn
bourses, the tendency being to sever el
depreciate foreign stocks.
In Paris the deposition became an al
sorbing topic of conversation and tn
,o official organs announced that Franc
would preserve an expectant attitude
10 ha1iaual
II favor the Bulgarian Sovereign's remoy
= al because he is German. Frenchme
" hope that Russia's action in the emei
eency may embroil the central Euro
q pean powers. Nobody in Paris believe
Al that these powers connived at Primo
81 lAlexsnder's expulsion.
In Berlin the opinion Is general ths
Germany and Austria, by mutus
- agreement, sacrificed Prince Alexander
10 lof Bulgaria, in order to preferve the al
~ lance with Russia at the expense {
y England. Public opinion in German
u issympathizes with Prince Alexander l.
o. o. Ibis misfortune. The "Pvst." Primo
" Bismarck's organ, has an article chaI
=: acterised by amiability of expression
~ towards Russia and unfriend illness

d. The "Messenger" of St. Petersbur
w publishes an official com municatio
stating that the relations between Ru
sia and the other powers remain III
IN altered. The announcement Is regarde
~ as an official intim alton that the trip
alliance Is unbroken.
< HOW LONDON EDITORS REGARD IT.
Ai The principal London papers al
Unanimous In dsnouncing the hand I
Russia. The Times says: sThe cou
must, we fear, be regarded, 30 far 9
8, Prince Alexander is concerned, as Il
r end of the chapter fer him. The gel
H. eral feeling will be one of respectfl
6, sy m pathy. He failed rather becaui
2, he was too good for the work fortur
had assigned to him. The event mu
be regarded rs q triumph Of Russia
diplomacy and it is a very inpressi,
1t, event. 1t is also, in less degree, a T
,s, verse for England's diplomacy. 1t
th only too clear that the Marquis Of Sail
ur bury Is confronted with all the DANCE
and difficulties in an aggravated for
which he had to face on his first acce
sion TO power"
er The Daily Telegraph and the Mornir
p Post speak in the same strain, and th
ee Daily News bluntly says: "The of
cial version of the revolution is 30 Il
grantly and transparently dishone
that 1t will not deceive q child. IL
ss effect may be extremely serious. Ru
L. sia's action is abso olutely unwarrantab
~ and without excuse. The argument
the Berlin Post that the revolution In
plies Russian victory over EnRns
influence in the East 10 absurd.
