SOFIA, September 30.-GeD. Kaul-
bars today received a deputation OF
prominent Bulglrisns, who called Ut
on him to endtavor to induce him to
witt dr,w or modify hIe circular. The
de. utation was composed of ia OF
the most respected and Influential
citizens of the Principally and WIS
headed by DR.. Voultchef, who aGtf d
as spokv sman. He stated to Gen.
Kaulbars that the circular had sur.
prised the Bulgarian people, and led
him to reconsider some of the Rus
sian damsnde, part cularly thSt for a
pcstponement of the elect ons two
M n'hs. The nation was anxious,
Dir. Voultcheff Continued, to speed ly
settle the choice of a Prince to occupy
the Bulgarian throne. In addition to
that modification, the doctor said the
people desired Rossia to withdraw her
demand Tor the immediate raising OF
the state of siege aud also the demand
for the Instant release OF the prison
ers in custody for completely in
thu coup d'eiat. The continuation
b OF the state Of siege was the
only guaranty the government
hal for the prsssl Walton Of
peace, which the rest OF Europe dc
sired es well as Bulgaria. The Boil
galians, believing that the Gar had
no desire to prolong the criti begged
Gen. Kaulbars to telegraph to Lin to
hs ca the cho CO OF Prince. The
constitution stipulate that the Grand
Sobranje ell cted to select a lu'er
should meet within ems month after
the elec ions. In regard to the libe'a-
ton OF the rolitieal prisonere, DR..
Voultchef said that il would bs dan
gerous precedent 10 establish, to liner
ate, without trial or punishment,thote
responsible for such momentous set
az the dspos, ton aud kidnapping OF
Prince Alexander, besides beng con-
trary 10 the laws which were the safe
guards Of the country. Besides, if the
prisoners were released, as demanded,
the pro oahi tiles were that the people
would kill them in the streets, such
was the popular inclination against
the implicated men. The government
thought the impiisoned officers should
pe tIl6u ITbb anu subsequently OhOiCu
clemenay. In conclus on, the deputa-
ton assured Gen Ksulbsrs that Bull
ga,ia was thankful to the Car
for his past prote ction, bat
maintained that the laws OF
the country must be respected.
No other Ministry than that at pre- ent
in power could txIicate the country
from lis crisis.
Gen. X ulba,s in reply said that
the Bulgsrians knew very well that
the Gar had their prosperity at hear ;
but, be added, they must confide in
the Gar and Cany out his wishes.
DR.. Voulicheff interrupted Gen.
Kaulbars at this point and said: I'll
that is all you have to say, we will ie-
tire" The deputation then withdrew.
The Bulgarian Ministry have de-
cided to postpone their reply to BUS
sia's note d. manding as conditions OF
the Cars rotection the raising of the
state of siege, the liberation Of the pc.
litical prisoners and the freedom Of
all parties to vo. IN the elections for
members OF the Grand Sohrapje t.
choose new Prince. The Ministers
are not willing to fatty refuse Ruseia't
demands and have resolved to depute
and instruct some one to enter into
negotistions with Gen. KsulbaTs, witt
a view to fading some other method
of settlement between Russia and Bull
garie.
