| A Very Stormy Scene Enacted at Sofia
! The Bulgarians Determined to Stand
by Their Constitution.
| SOFIA, October Alive thousand persons
attended the meeting here yesterday to hear
| from DR.. VOultchof his report of the con-
ference last Thurs lay between General
Kaulbars and ia Bulgarian notables, head
ed by the doctor, who called upon the Rus
sian agent to request nod fcations in Rms
Voultchoff during his narrative, and uttered
groans for Russia. DR.. Voultch0ff proposed
and the meeting adopted a resolution, de-
claring confidence in the government and
| assurance to it of moral and national sup
port as long as it continued to maintain the
independence of Bulgaria and the constitu-
ton and laws of the country. During the
proceedings Russian arose and shouted:
"Long live the Gar. Down with the gov
eminent" He was at once set upon and
roughly handled, and would probably have
been killed if the police had not rescued
him and conducted him to place of safety.
While the proceedings were in progress
General Kaulbars suddenly and unexpected
ly appeared and mounted the tribune. Tho
audience became quiet and respectful. He
addressed them and said he was there to ex--
press the cars desire. He was at once
loudly interrupted by shouts of 1--WE want
no desires. We will listen to advice if it is
good" General Kaulbars, when order had
been restored, continued, saying, II have
heard that Russian has beeo beaten be-
cause he cheered for the car" Here there
was a fresh interruption and shouts of ''the
man was not beaten for cheering the czar,
the same fate will befall all saying the same
thing" General Kaulbars then attempted
to explain the three points in the Russian
demands. They cried out that they would
receive no orders.
When the wrowd had ceased shouting Cen
eral Kaulbars declared that tho GEAR would
refuse, unless tho elections were postponed,
to recognize the great sobranje elected to
choose q successor TO Prince Alexander.
The audiepce again became tumultuous.
They shouted at General Kaulbars, eve
don't care; We will stone whoever violates
the constitution" General Kaulbars' pa
thence finally became exhausted and in q
msnacing tone he threw the responsibility
fer refusing to listen to Russians advice on
the country. The Bulgaria's, as q nation,
he said, do not desire constitution. Only
a few men in the country want one. The
shouting here become most violent, and
General Kaulbars was compelledt0 withdraw
from the tribune. A popular speaker i'm
mediately ssce-ded and asked the people if
it were true that they desired to abolish the
constitution.
The crowd loudly protested that 1t was not
true, and uttered threats against any one
who should attempt to tamper with the con-
stitution. A committee was appointed to
60 to Premier Badoslavoff's residence and
present him with copy Of the resolution
adopted, and the meeting then adjourned.
SOFA, October General Ksulbars, be.
fore leaving Sofia on q tour of Bulgaria,
notified the government that Russia would
not consider the elections to the sobranj
legal.
