SOFIA, Sept. s.--Prince Alexander has
signed the deed of abdication and has de
parted from Sofia.
A compact mass OF people witnessed
Alexander's departure frcm the palace,
and thousands lined the route taken by
him through the town. The prince stood
up in his carriage, bowling to his people
and saying, Good bye, my brethren. -
The popuIace were much affected. Tears
spraDg to many eyes, and hearty wishes
were expressed for the princes speedy
return. Prince Alexander will go first to
LON Palanki.
A manifesto was issued by Alexander
prior to his departure. 1t says: We,
Alexander. prince of Bulgaria, being con
WINGED that our departure will contribute
to Bulgaria's liberation, and having re-
ce:ved assurance from the car that the
independence, liberty and rights of our
country shall remain intact, and that no.
body shall interfere with its internal
affairs, inform my beloved people that we
the throne, wishing to prove
how dear to us are the interests of Bull
garia, for which we are willing to sacrifice
hat which is moro precious to us than
life. Expressing his affection for his sub
ftCts u lis Htditit Sldtitudc " tnti
devotion, he says he will pray God to
shield and prosper them. He concludes
by asking the people to obey the regency
and ministry to the end that order and
peace may be preserved.
Prince Alexander is accompanied by NJ.
Stambuloff. The prince will go direct to
Darmstadt.
LONDON, Sept. S.-The Standard
urges England not to oppose whoever may
be elected to succeed Prince Alexander.
1t continues: If Alcxander's successor be
a pro Russian he will the more quickly
bring Austria to a full consciousness of
what concerns her in Bulgaria, and force
Germany to decide whether to sacrifice
Austria to Russia or vice versa. Russia
is an old man of the sea for Austria and
Germany. By their recent subservience
they have got him tighter around the
neck than ever.

Parnell's Bill

LONDON, Sept. S.-Since the interview
between Lord harrington and Lord Sails
bury, all hope OF a compromise between
the government and Mr.. Parpell has been
abandoned. Lord Randolph Churchill Is
disposed to bargain with Mr.. Parnell on
the basis of the government S support of
the single clause of Parnell's bill relating
to the suspension of evictions. A ma
jority OF the cabinet are opposed to any
Irish legislation until next year. Lord
Harrington insisted that there should be
no tampering with the Parnell bill, and
proposed to Lord Salisbury a vote of the
unionists if the government absolutely
opposed the bill. The Chamberlain sec
ton will not vote on the bill. Chamber
lain, who has gone to the country, says he
will take no part in the debate He
adheres 10 his determination to do
nothing to embarrass the government in
dealing with Ireland. Lord Randolph
Churchill will offer Parnell facilities for a
second reading of his bill on the 10th
inst, on condition that the Parnellites
offer no obstruction to the passage Of the
whole of the estimates. The Parnellifes,
aiming to retain control of the govern
ment, insist upon the consideration of
Parnells bill before the estimates. The
probable issue will be that Parnell will
accept Lord Randolph's offer, knowing
that the defeat of his bill is certain. Par
nell has sent the draft of his measure to
Gladstone. The first clause provides
that leascholders may apply to the court
to fix judicial rents. The second, that
tenants whose rents were fixed a year ago
may apply to the court for retaliation,
and, third, that the pending decision on
the applications may suspend it on pay.
mont of such proportion of the rent as
the court MAY decide proper. Govern
ment whips predict that the debate will
be short and that the house will adjourn
on the 25th instant.

Death of James T.. BarrOlI.

James Edmundson Barroll, youngest son
OF the late James f. Barroll and Henrietta
j. Barroll, died on Sunday night about
half-past nine o'clock, at the Howard
House, where he had made his home for a
number of years. He had been i'll tor sew
eral months of Bright's disease of the kid
neys and had been confined to his room for
old Maryland family. Among his ances-
tors were the Rev. William Barroll and the
Rev. Hugh Jones, both prominent in their
day. His father was very prominent law
yer in Kent county and amassed a large for
tune before removing to Holly Hail. near
Elkton, many years ago. The deceased was
man of fine intellectual gifts and of gen
erous disposition. He could, had he been
ambitious, made mark in life in one of
many fields of labor, but being beyond want
and of an easy going character, he never
made the necessary effort. Early in life he
read law under his father but never applied
for admission to the bar. He possessed
many qualities going towards making
successful and probably brilliant lawyer
His fine artistic taste often called into
play in the decoration of churches and on
festive or other occasions. At this he could
outrank the ladies in their own chosen field.
His services, in matters of this kind, were
willingly rendered. He possessed marked
gifts for journalism being an industrious
collector of news, a fluent and correct
writer and had what is known as the repor-
ters' instinct. He was also a judicious edi-
tor, knew what the newspaper reader
wanted and gave to him. In this conuec-
tion he did excellent service at various
times as associate editor of TIE WIIG and
Democrat, also at other times assisting other
papers and acting as correspondent for city
newspapers He WAS also active in local
politics, and, although he never attained to
any eminence in his party, had a
knowledge of county and state politics ex-
ceeded by but few. He was possessed of
genial manners and had many friends. He
was about II years old and unmarried. Mr.
Barroll leaves five sisters, three unmarried
two of whom reside in Elkton, Mrs. Hor-
wilz, wife of Theopolus iiorwitz, prumi
nent lawyer of Baltimore, and Mrs. Med
calf, ofNew York. Register of Willis Il. f
lamar was his brother-in-law. His funeral
took place Wednesday afternoon at > o'clock

Schouler officiating. The floral offerings
Were very fine. The interment was in the
