LONDON, o'Io''tI 81
1t is automatically stated to-day that two
gunboats belonging to the Russian navy
have been sent to N4rna at the r,qust CT the
resident Consuls in Bulgaria. 1t would not
be surprising if these two vessels were to
move up the Danube and to land troops on
the Bulgarian bank of the river. In any case,
we are on the eve of what promises to be
a most serious phase in the Bulgarian
crisis. The meeting of the Sobranje is ire
vocably fixed for tomorrow. The Govern
:nent are disposed to make certain conces-
sions, tus they will not put off the Ilrnova
Assembly. They will probably go SO far as
to invite the Eastern Roumeliau Deputies
not to vote, ard if only the powers could
make up their minds to nominate candi-
date for the throne the Bulgarian
Ministers woul only be too glad 10
promote his election by the Sobranje; but, In
the absence of union on that point among the
Powers themselves, the Government OF the
principality see nothing to bs gained by de-
lay. They have bee1 once more informed by
General Kaulbars that Russia holds the pres
emit Sobranj, to he Illegal, and will not rec
ognizs any of its decisions. The Russia> bai-
garian conflict is, therefore, about to become
acute.

finally gained currency that the mysterious

out of the country by burning their property
and worrying them until they were willing
TO sell out at heavy sacrifice.
These rumors Of the coming assassination
grew SO frequent and widespread that hun

women became very nervous on the subject.

men entered Douglassville during church
meeting in the evening, and at the point of
their shot guns marched four of the leading
officers of the new secret society to the
house where an iron box was kept, which
was thought to contain list of the marked

out many papers were in the
box bearing lists Of names of

gun barrels, they p,rs entity refussi to tell
