Brought About.

brought ABOUT
by Telegraph
Varnar received Friday evening, circular
signed by Karavelofi, Zankoff, Stoiloff and
Radishoff. ordering him to inform the peo-
pie that Prince Alexander had been dis
missed. All the towns in Bulgaria and
Roumelia except Widen, are in a state OF
siege. 1t is rumored in Berlin that Aleyan-
der was compelled to abdicate by threat
of DEATH Authentic dispatches from Sofia
show that the deposition of Prince Alex
ander of Bulgaria, was accomplished dur
ing the night. According to these adyices,
one thoroughly RussianiZed regiment ofcav-
airy was detained in the city after nightfall,
when the other troops retired to their bar
racks. This regiment was perfectly under
the control of the reyolutiOnists, who sur
rounded the palace about two hours past
midnight Alexander was i'll bed, and the
palace closed. The revolutionary leaders,
their way into the building, went to
The Princes ante-chamber. and had him
aroused. They bluntly made known to him
the purpose of their intrusion. He was
stunned. When he recovered his self-con-
troll and realized the utter helplessness of
his situation, lie bitterly reproached his
captors for their treachery. What followed
is still rather obscure. The revolutionists
declare that Alexander signed the formal
abdication of the throne but others, how
ever, assert that he firmly declined TO sign
the abdication, and that, in consequence of
his refusal, he was made a prisoner and
confined in remote prison, being told ne
would be kept there until he complied with
the demands OF the revolutionlsts. 1t is
said that the Prince was removed from So
fla under cavalry escort before daybreak.
The people did not become acquainted with
the coup d'etat until several hours after the
Prince was removed from the palace.
kilograms from Widdin say that advices
received there from Bulgaria say there is
much discomfort among the troops over the
change in the Government, and that large
proportion of the troops are disposed to re-
turn Alexander.
The troops in Eastern Roumelia and at
Shumla disapproye of the deposition.
Two thousand people, who openly favor
the restoration of Alexander, met yester-
day in front of the Russian consulate, in
Philippopolis, the capital of Eastern Rou-
melia, and made public demonstration of
their wishes. The deposition has divided
the population of Sofia into two hostile
parties, one of which ardently supports the
revolution, the other as warmly espousing
the cause of the Prince. The partisanship
on both sides has become dangerously
heated already and it is feared that party
conflicts of a serious nature will ensue.
Railway service between Constantinople
and Roumelia has been suspended. Orders
have been sent to Adrianople suSpending
the issue of tickets beyond the frontier.
ST. PETERSBURG, August 24th.-The Jour
nat dc 81. Petersburg, commenting on the
Bulgarian crisis, says it hopes the politi-
clans of Bulgaria and Roumelia will have

the peace and goodwill Of the Powers
should be secured. Politicians should not
attempt to hamper their good intentions
The Russian press do not generally believe
