BULGARIA'S PERPLEXITY
THE People FORCED TO BOW
TO EUROPES WISHES.

Ihe General 4 assembly Anxious to Know
the Man Wanted by the POwera Before
Eiecting Prince AlexaDder's Successor
-kussia Masking as the Friend of the
Country.
SOFIA, Sept. 1S.-Cols. Mutkkurotf and
Nicolaietf, the latter of whom is Minister
of War, both declare that unless Prince
AleNander's kidnappers be punished a
revolution may break out any moment.
The trial of the revoluuonists by court
martial is proceeding In spite of Russia's
prohibition, and is considered direct act
of rebellion against Russia.
The Sobranje has approved the bill ap-
pointing court martial to try Maj.
Gruef and the other officers associated
with him in the coup deJat on a charge
of treason.
THE RUSSIAN AGENTS INFORMATION.
Whenthe Russian agent here was pre-
sented with the Sobranie telegram to the
Car, praying for his friendship and pro-
lection, the agent said: prince AleXan-
der's departure has removed the obstacle
TO good relations between Russia and
Bulgaria which was source of great
danger to the prosperity OF Bulgaria,
which Russia has at heart. Russia can
not admit even the idea of Prince Alex
ander returning to Bulgaria. This fact,
therefore, is one guarantee of happiness
and the internal independence which
your telegram mentions. TIE other guar
antees you possess within yourselves In
moderation and In concord.
SANCTION OF THE POWERS.
"Remember well that the powers have
not vet formally sanctioned the present
order OF things in Bulgaria, and that their
sanction can only be acquired by pru-
dence and moderation in the present gov
ernment and in the members of the future
great assembly. Russia never protected
any party, Russia desires harmony among
you all; and she especially desires that
your government shall be above all party
spirit"
The President Of the Sobranie then
questioned the agent regarding the iden-
tity of the new candidate for the Bull
garian throne. The agent replied that
that would entirely depend upon the
powers. In his private capacity, the
agent added, he had no information to
give, saying: ga jurv when elected does
not know who it Will have to adjudge.
The Assembly must elect whom it thinks
best capable of representing the dignity
of Bulgaria"
TRIAL OF THE CONSPIRATORs.
The Russians in Bulgaria deny all COM
picity in the seizure and deposition of
Prince Alexander, but have advised mod
Grafton in the treatment of those who
we're Implicated. sin order to maintain
quiet ana entdiscOntent from spread
ing" the Russians say, they "cOnsider
that now the object OF the plot is removed
no one can proceed against the actors
in the plot. The BuIgarians rejoice
that the Bulgarian question has
assumed more international character.
They think this tends to avert danger of
an armed occupation. The Bulgarian
deputies are ANXIOUS to know what candi-
date for the Bulgarian throne would be ac-
oeptable to the powers before proceeding
to an election of Prince AleXander's sue
cessOr, as they are unwilling to choose d
candidate whom the powers might reject.
The Sobranje closes its present session
to-day. An ukase will be read before ad-
tournament fixing the date for the election
or the great assembly, which is to elect
the new Prince.
