by single journal of Europe, is that NJ De

prevent Alexander's return to Bulgaria. Bis

matter ad referendum and shortened the in

telegraphing between Vienna, London, Rome
and Constantinople ensued, far more than the
little Franzensbad Office ever dreamed of be-
fore Whether M. De Giers got an answer
before his Unexpectedly hasty departure is
not known but the result was that Prince
Alexander was not restrained from going to
Bulgaria.
Mr. Lascelles, the British consul general,
who was spending his vacation here, started
post haste for Sofia the same night to repre-.
sent English interests in the trying time now
at hand. This is hint that Sir William
White, who ought never have been removed
from Constantinople, will go there next

My informant lays great stress upon the
strength and sufficiency of these scruples, but
believes that the kaiser in wrath at the pirat-

has consented to let the Austrians aid Turks
