The Porte Asks a Speedy Answer from the
Powers-Prince Alexander's Journey.
LONDON, Sept SIN it's note to the powers
protesting against any foreign occupation of
Bulgaria, the Porte refers to the representa-
tions of M. Stambouloff and NJ. Radoslavcff,
made to the Ottoman commissioner at Sofia,
with the object of obtaining before Prince Alex
ander left, assurances from the suzerain court
and the powers that there would be no foreign
occupation of Bulgaria nor any interferference
with the rights of Bulgarian independence
whose safeguarding was guaranteed by treaties
The Porte says it consents to Alexander's de-
parture from Bulgaria, and has informed the
Bulgarian government that there will be no in
tervention SO long as it's legality is maintained
and Bulgaria fulflls her duty towards her suze-
rain, and urges the powers to favorably consider
the step the Bulgarian government has TAKEN
because it is important to terminate the
abnormal situation in Bulgaria and Eastern Rou-
meia. Moreover, the Porte adds, Russia has
declared that she had no intention to intervene
in Bulgaria If Prince Alexander left the coun-
try In conclusion, the Porte asks the powers
to reply as promptly as possible, in order to en-
able Turkey to give the Bulgarian government
the assurance required.
The Sofa Official Gazette yesterday evening
published decree, signed by Prince Alexander
closing the military cadets school and abolish
ing its banner, and directing that the First Reg

infantry Regiment be reorganized. the latter

replying to question for the government,
stated, in the British House of Commons, this
evening. that the government had reason to
believe that the action of Bulgaria. or any
power, would be inconsistent with treaty engage
ments. He declined to be more explicit in his
statement
Yesterday, when Prince Alexander arrived at
Lompalanska, on his way out of Bulgaria, the
streets were covered with triumphal arches
Everything was done to make the Prince feel
that the populace wished to look upon his de-
parture as transient. The Vice-president of the
Assembly, in his farewell address to the Prince,
said that Bulgarians would never forget that
they owed everything to him that they had
secured as united nation. and that they would
although he was departing, they hoped for his
speedy return. The Prince, in his reply, said
he was happy when Bulgarians were content.
He would be ever ready to assist Bulgaria when
she might be in need. '.I hope to see you all
soon again." he said. The school children of
Lompalanska strewed Prince Alexander's path
through the city with flowers.
Prince Alexander, NJ. Stambouloff, NJ Karave-
loft, and nearly all the Bulgarian Ministers, ar
rived at Turn SEVERN this morning in Yacht.
Roumanian troops received the Prince at the
landing and lined the route along which he
passed to the railroad station. Alexander took
leave OF his Ministers and officers. The fare
we'll was very affecting. A Bulgarian aidde
camp will accompany Prince Alexander. He
will leave Turn SEVERN this afternoon and will
proceed directly to his parental home at Darn
stadt
The St Petersburg papers generally take the
position that the present regency and Ministry
of Bulgaria contain elements of fresh complica-
tions. The Novoe Vremya says that Prince Al
exander appointed the regency without having
first obtained the National Assemblys assent,
which, 1t contends, was breach of the Tirnova
regents appointed by the Prince, and who COM
manded the loyal troops under the counter
provisional government after the recent coup
detat, the Novoe Vremya says, is not qualified
for membership in the regency because he is not
a member of the Bulgarian National Assembly.
Continuing, the Novoe Vremya says it fears that
the comedy of Prince Alexanders re election to
the Bulgarian throne will be played by the
Sobrauie. All the other st. Petersburg news
papers consider Prince Alexanders departure
from Bulgaria final. The Journal de St. Pc
tersburg says: prince Alexander's departure
removes the chief difficulty in the settlement of
Bulgarian affairs After the recent severe crisis
at home and abroad, order aud quietness in Bull
garia were necessary Russia does not dream
of lessening the independence she conquered for
Bulgaria"
It is denied at Sofia that Prince Alexander
sent second telegram to the Car announcing
his intention to abdicate It is stated that Prince
Alexander's only telegram to the Gear after the
coup d'etat, was the one sent on Aug. 80, inform
ing the Gear that the Prince had resumed the
government of Bulgaria To this the Gear sent
his celebrated snubbing reply, and it is affirmed
that Prince Alexander did not reply in any
way.
Price Alexander, in an interview, said he
would have to remain quiet for three months;
that he would simply keep his lips closed and
await the course of events Germany, Austria
and Russia, he said had forbidden him to exc
cute the plotters against him, thus depriying
him of :he very essence of power, and abdication
was the only honorable mode Of escape from
such a position
Alexan6ers triumphal progress is almost
without a parallel At every village in Bull
garia through which he passed the peasants
were awaiting his coming and he was
