COLOGNE, September 7th-The abdica-
ton OF Prince Alexander is definite. There
was no other way out of .lIe difficulty.
LoYpoS. September 7th.-This, from the
81. 1sfBaes Go-ct!e last evecing, is the most
candid ana sensible view Of the situation
in Bulgaria yet taken by an gnglish paper :.
1t is no use pretending that events as they
now seem tO be shaping themselves, are
not uniavora6le to this county. The cor
rect tone to assume seems to be that it Is
ell Germany's business and Austria's busi-
ness, ana of course if those Powers are
satisfied, we need not mind. Eo amount
81 this sort OF talk will conceal the fact
chat the defeat OF Prince Alexau Fer is os-
tentatiousiy asserted in Russia and be-
iieved elsewhere to be the defeat Of Eng
land His crime was that he was too
English. He slighted the Czar an4too
counsel with Lord Salisbury ana RoseSery,
and for this he is brought to the dust Oar
ally is bumbled and our implacable euemv
is exalted, aud we are to accept it all
piacidly, as being . thing Of no particular
moment to ourselves. Il is just as well to
clear our minds of cant and confusion and
10 acknowledge Russia has succeeded in
striking 81 trencllant blow at this country.
NEW YoRX, SePteHber Ith-The T.i6r.s-
says editorially: PriHee Alexander's Bbdi-
cation was decided by three military En-
perorS. Russia demanded the restoration
OF her influence in sle Balkan State which
she had delivered from Turkish rule, and
Germany and Austria acquiesced in this
demand IN order to prevent the occupation
of the plinciPality by northern power
and the outbreak OF q European war.
Prince Alexander, having been brutally
snubbed by the Gar, meekly followed
BismaIck's advice and publicly announced
his intention to give up The throne. He
had not an ally in Europe who was willing
to take up arms in defense OF his territory.
The military EmpeFars hal united their
diplomatic forces against bin, and resist
ance to their will was out Of the question.
