THE OUTLOOK FOR RUSSIA.

POWER WITHOUT RESPONSIBILITY.
NEW YoRk, September "a special
from London says: The abdication OF |
Prince Alexander has produced genuine
disappointment In England, and per
longer that Russia has had Bismarck's
support throughout and that Austria ac-
quiesces, though not willingly. Russia
is not to occupy Bulgaria or to assume
an ostensibIe protectorate over that un-
happy country. But the Russian Civil
Commissioner goes to Sofia as soon as
Alexander leaves that city, anda Russian
officer takes charge Of the Bull
garian army. Russia will have
what she likes = power with.
out responsibility. Probably Alex,
ander. in the face Of Russia and Ger
many, without the support Of single
European power, with the Bulgarian
opinion divided, thanks to the Russian
agency, had no choice but to retire.
With him goes the last hope of Bulgar-
ian independence. Bulgaria will become
practically Russian province. The
experiment which England attempted
of establishing independent nationali-
ties 10 the East, as q barrier to Russian
aggression, has broken down. Russia
apparently wins every point in the pres
ent game. The B llgarian population
count for nothing in European diplo-
macy.
