The News at London.

LONDON, september O.-lu6 OtuVu'
ards Berlin correspondent says 1t is
reliably informed that Prince Bis
marck promised M. de Giers free
hand in Bulgaria In case England
showed q willingness to help Alexan-
der and Turkey, and that both Ger
many and Austria would remain neu-
trail.
The Post Berlin correspondent says
that Emperor William proposed Alex
der's telegram to the Gar as the best
means OF affecting reconciliation,
and that the Cars reply was, there
fore, a direct blow at the Emperor
The correspondent further says that
the news OF Alexander's abdlcation
caused the utmost indignation among
the German army officers, Advices
from Vienna say that the news OF
Alexander's abdication was received
with CONSERVATION there, the Princes
action being looked upon as the be-
ginning Of serious stage OF the Bul.
Rarian question.
It is believed In Vienna that the alb
dication will not deter Russia from at
tempting to occupy Bulgaria, q pro-
ceeding which Austria cannot allow.
Dispatches from Sofia say that the
Russian party there, headed by the
Russian Consulate, show signs OF great
activity, and are preparing an address
to the Gar. II is expected that Prince
Alexander will go to Serv'a, thence to
Darmstadt, and thence to England. M.
Popof and numerous Bulgarian Off
GERS have decided TO accompany him.
The Times Of today says: A regen-
cy committee composed with or with
out Russian partisans can only hasten
the day when the people OF Bulgaria,
wearied and disspirited, will abandon
their dreams OF autonomy and will
welcome Russian domination as the
only means Of escaping anarchy. The
date OF the entry Of Russian troops
into Bulgaria is an unimportant detail.
All that has been effected by the union
OF Roumelia and Bulgaria Is the en-
largement OF the slice OF the Turkish
Empire which Russia secures by the
operation. German and Austrian in
difference probably springs from a
consciousness Of their inability to pre-
vent the Russian advance. The cen
trail powers may be making the best
Of unpleasant and unavoidable cir
cumstancss, but they cannot pretend
that the course OF events is precisely
such as they would prescribe were
they masters OF the situation.
The Standard commenting on Prince
Alexander's abdication, says: We are
convinced that Prince Bismarck will
not succeed In averting an eventual
struggle between Russia and Austria.
England will be the chief gamer by
the great opportunity which Germany
and Austria have thrown away. Any
thing that increases Russia'e interest
and abeorbs her attention In Europe
will divert 1t from Asia; thus We will
acquire time to render Russian ma
chinations In Asia harmless.
The Pail Mall Gazette declares that
England will abandon the island Of
Port Hamilton, off the coast Of Corea,
because OF the conviction that its oc-
cupation would prove q source oil
weakness in time of war.
The Morning Post says; We greatly
doubt whether Prince Bismarck's pol
icy will insure the peace OF Europe,
Europe will have no peace until the
wrongs Russia has inflicted on q rising
people are avenged. Whatever may
be the reasons which induced Prince
Bismarck to sacrifice Prince Alexander
to the personal animosity OF the Gar
we cannot believe that Europe will
approve a policy tending TO make the
Car arbiter Of the whole continent.
The Daily Ne,Os doubts whether Rus
STA will go 10 the length OF occupying
Bulgaria, even though assured Of Ger
man neutrality. II would be unneces
sary to do so, 1t says, as the moral vic
tory gives the Czsr all he asks, ant
practically makes Bulgaria Russian
province.
The DAILY Telegraph says: every
one for himself is the new motto Q
the European concert, and the retul
is discord, more or less yelled. w
are a maritime power. Looking {
the dark, lowering future we ca
not too soon take all needful steps an
rely on ourselves.
The Chronicle blames Prince BIZ
marck for creating the present critics
situation, and says the clouds in tn
Balkans are darker and more luri
than ever.
