Alexander,s Deposition.


detat IN Bulgaria was a complete surprise
to both ministers. The securities which
were affected by the first receipt of the news
are now recovering. A dispatch from
vienna to the Times, contains the follow
ing: Prince Alexander was deposed by con-
splracy. dispatchh from Bucharest. can
ltal OF Roumania, states that all news from
Bulgaria comes at present through official
sources and that no private person is
allowed to enter or leave Bulgaria. The
story OF the deposition is told as follows:
kareloff, the prime minister, entered the
palace at Sofia and explained to Prince
Alexander that public opinion of Bulgaria
was dissatisfied with his policy and de-
manded his deposition. Prince Alexander
SAID: L see no friends. l cannot resist"
PUBLIC MEETINGS
have been held in Sofia and kustchuk, and
all the proclamations of a change of gov
eminent were received with favor. The
people rejoice over the coup, which they say
has ended an intolerable situation. The
Bulgarians are persuaded that Russia will
not assist them to consummate the union
which they think it is Turkeys design to
Illustrate. Prince Alexander was taken
completely by sunrise. He was astounded
at the sudden bursting of the plot upon him.
M. Karaveloff has managed the whole affair
with such secrecy that the only indication
OF the coming storm was the mutinous
spirit noticeable among the troops. Prince
Alexander had ordered the circulation of
papers among them which openly declared
that he alone was the only obstacle to the
union. but his orders in this regard were
net obeyed. The
AFFECTION OF THE COMMON PEOPLE
for Prince Alexander personally remains
undlminished A telegram from Bucharest
says the ROumanians are very much eX-
cited over the Bulgarian crisis King
Charles is personally presiding over spe-
cIal meeting OF the cabinet hastily sum-
moned and Premier Bratraino is returnine
from Govdra with all possible speed. The
Russian press was less surprised at the dep-
osition of Prince Alexander than it was
when Roumelia revolted in 1885. The
newspapers at st. Petersburg generally for
sometime past have believed that the polit-
lcal tension in Bulgaria foreshadoWed a
catastrophe. The Viedomosti saws:
Russia must now speak her weighty word
If she does not wish to lose control of Rul-
garian destinies.
The Novosti says it is highly probable
that Russia will intervene directly and es-
tablish a new order of things in Bulgaria
and adds: with Alexander deposed, Bull
garlan sympathy with Russia will revive.n
Most OF the Russian papers observe that
the foreign press manifestS confusion of
ideas respecting the relations between the
three empires. A dispatch from Sofia saws:
The governments proclamation announcing
the deposition of prince Alexander and the
reasons therefor, declares that he
RENDERED GREAT SERVICES
on the field of battle, but politically he had
too little regard for Bulgaria's position as
Slav state, and the maintenance of re,a-
tons with Russia. His deposition ON this
account was necessity. The Berlin Post.

terized by amiability of expressions towards
Russia and unfriendlineSs to England. Nj.

who is sojourning at Frazensbad, will. if is
stated. almost Immediately visit Prince Bis
marck and Count Kalnoky. Austrian minis
ter for foreign affairs. The opinion is gen
eral here that Germany and Austria, by
mutual agreement, sacrificed Prince Alex
anderf of Bulgaria, in order to preserve the
alliance with Russia at the expense of Eng
land. Public opinion in Germany sympa-
thizes with Prince Alexander in his misfor-
tune.
The Daily News this morning SAYS:
deprived of his throne by the direct order of
the car. The official version of the reyolu-
ton is so fiagrantly and transparently dis
honest that it will not deceive a child.
THE EFFECT
may be extremely serious. Russia's action
is absolutely unwarrantable and without ex-
cuse. The argument of the Berlin Post that
the revolution implies Russian victory over
English influence in the east is absurd. No
power is less interested than England Alex
ander was nom1nally a vassal of the sultan.
and if It's shown that he was deposed with
out the sultan's consent,a grave international
difficulty will at once be raised''
FRENCH FEELING
favors Prince Alexanders deposition be-
cause the princess is German. French
men hope that RuSsia'S action in the emer-
gency may embrol the central European
powers. Nobody in Paris believes that
these powers connived at Prince AIexander's
expulsion. The Globe says:
Bulgarian events touch England very re-
motely compared with Germany and Austria.
England will not rush in where others decline
to tread.
The Times commenting on the Bulgar-
ians says:
The coup must, we fear, be regarded so far
as Prince Alexander is concerned, as the end
OF the chapter for him. The general feeling
will be one of respectful sympathy. He
failed rather because he was too good for the
work fortune had assigned to him. The event
must be regarded as a triumph of Russian
diplomacy and it is very impressive event.
1t is also in less degree reverse for Eng
lands diplomacy. 1t is only too clear that
the Marquis of Salisbury is confronted with all
the dangers and difficulties in an aggravated
form which he had to face in his first Access
sion to power.
The st. Petersburg Messenger publishes
an official communication stating that the
relations between Russia and the other
powers remain unaltered. The announce
ment is made for the purpose of rebuking
the attacks on Russia by papers in Ger
many and is regarded as an official intima-
ton that
THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE IS UNBRoKEN.
Among the foreigners presented to the
car at the KraSno Schla maneuvres were
two members of the Kara -Georgevitch
family, who it is presumed are relatives of
Prince Kara Geergevitch, the pretender to
the Seryian throne. The news of Prince
Alexanders deposition was received at the
British foreign office yesterday afternoon.
The earl of Iddsleigh, foreign minister,
went during the evening to the office and
dispatched messengers with the news to ali
the cabinet ministers and sent special
courier to the Marquis of Salisbury at Hat
field house. There has been great activity
at the foreign office all day to-day and an
almost continuous telegraphic communica-
ton has been kept up with foreign capital
lists. The city of Sofia has been declared
IN A STATE OF SIEGE.
Advices from Sofia say that NJ. Kara
veloffs provisional government, realizing
that public sentiment remained favorable to
Prince Alexander. caused circular to be
distributed among the people called min

of all parties and classes who, the docu-
ment declared, were in the new movement.

government was receiving general support.
