The following. .proclamationsiias heenS is
sued tromTirnoya ::a.In, the. name ofsPsince:
'klexander and:the Bulgarian parliament l.
hereby declare that have assumed.the. di-
rection Of the provisional government at
Sofia. Persons failing to conform Herewith
will be dealt with by military law. l ap.
point Col. Moutkoror commander-in.chie
of the army, WITH full civil and military
powers. appeal to Bulgarians TO defend
the crown Of their fatherland against the
traitors seeking to dethrone our heroic and
beloved prince, who was chosen by the peo.
pie as their ruler. Long live Alexander"
The proclamation is signed Stambulotf, and
countersigned Moutkoroff.
Prince Alexander has left Reni for either
Darmstadt or Berlin. His yacht has pro-
ceeded to Galatz. The direction of affairs
at Sofia has been intrusted to Maj. ParnoH.
The fall of the rebel cabinet at Sofia is con-
frmed. 1t is reported that the leaders of
the revolution are fleeing to Servia. The
ministerial JIointza, of Bucharest, states that
Russia forbade Alexander to land in Rus.
sian territory. The Rustchuck garrison has
declared its loyalty to the Stambulo1 cabi-
net. Meetings are being held everywhere
in Bulgaria in favor of Alexander. If he
does not return to Bulgaria without delay a
regency will be proclaimed.
The British government has received
news confirming the report that Prince Al
exander landed at Reni, but nothing has
been heard of him since he landed. Lord
Salisbury was induced, evidently by the na-
ture of the news he received from the for
eign Office, to lay aside his intention and to
return to London, which he did at I O'Clock
yesterday evening. He was met at sne sta
ton on his arrival by messengers, "ho
handed him several bundles of dispatches
These he read at once, after which he en-
tered his carriage and was driven. rapidly
away. Queen Victoria telegraphed 10 Buch
Arrest yesterday for news of Alexander.
The garrison of Rustchhk, which remains
loyal to Alexander, is marchinc TO Sofia
Loyalists are besieging the latter luwn.
The Berlin bourse closed yesterday, with
. general decline, owing to The gloomy
views OF the political situation expressed by
the English and Russian press.
Conflicts have taken place in the streets
of Sofia between localists and supporters o

Zaucoff. Prince Alexander's adherents are
still in prison. Caravasoff, the Russian cap
tain in command of Alexauder's yacht, has
telegraphed to Bucharest, in reply to inquiry,
that Alexander was handed over to the
Russian authorities. Prince Bismarck g
unusual course in visiting NJ de Giers is
much commented upon. It ls the general
opinion That Russia will not now allow AL
exander to reascend the throne.
The Russian ministers Of war and marine
have been summoned to St. Petersburg. The
Black sea fleet has been ordered to be in
readiness for cruise Several Russian
steamship companies have been ordered to
equip troop transports.

MIR. Blaine.s second Speech

Mr.. Blaine delivered his second speech in
the campaign at North Berwick, Me-, yes.
terday afternoon before an audience of
5000 persons Mr.. Blaine said There is
nothing so practical as an election. 1t is
plain, downright, matter of fact. We in
dulge in great many theories and opin-
ions during the campaign. but, when election
day comes, We are compelled to cnocse be.
tween two things presented. IT every man
could vote just exactly as he pleased, it
would be idle to attempt government OF
the majority, and therefore it is necessary
in the conduct Of popular government that
voters are compelled to choose which side
thev will taks upon well-detined issue.
Mr.. Blaine then proceeded TO show the
inconsistency Of Tie prohibition!sts, and
demonstrate that the issues before tho state
and nation were either democratic or re-
publican. He also taunted the prohibi
tionists with ingatiiude and showed that
the latter owed all the prohibitive legisla-
ton the state has to tho republican party
which party they now seek to overthrow.
They do not hope to elect their own men
to any office whatever, hut TO beat the re.
publicans.
is there MIR. Blaine asked, ANY gen.
tleman here willing to take the responsi.
.biisy of saying in his judgment that it will
promote the cause or prohibition in ,name;s
or is there any geutlemaD, or; h-'l putsltc
only on the ground OF state pride, is there
any voter OF republican principles in =the.
first congressional district wiling>to strike
down the brilliant leader Of the House who
now represents THE district? Then we
have another diversion for the labor party.
T., ,,,n,,,l,ar no lab bor inn
here, or elsewhere in Maine, willing to say
that the cause OF labor is to be promoted by
sending Clifford 10 Congress instead Of Reed
or the election OF Edwards as governor, in.
stead OF Bodwell? Are you willing. gen.
tlemen, either of the prohibition party or
labor party, to throw your votes away?
Are YOU willing to count yourselves neutral
in that fight p !. ;
+ Passing to the fisheries question, Mr.
Blaine said "Canada is in very peculiar
postion--she wants to enjoy the pride and
sentiment of belonging TO the British empire
and to pocket the profit aud advantage OF
having the American market ut the same
time. We dout't think that fair. We have
not the remote5t possible objection TO her
remaining part OF the British empire. That
is her right if she chooses II she thinks
pride can be coined into good solid income
let her take It. But while sbo is enjoying
it don't think she would turn around to
us aud say, we are cultivating our senti.
ment in the direction Of British loyalty, and
we want you to help us cultivate our pock-
cts in the direction of free access to your
markets. Lam, for one. opposed to- hav-
ing tho fisheries interest used TO force upon
this country another treaty Of so:called
reciprocity with Canada
Mr.. Blaine read atlength from the lato
treaty with Canada commenting rs he pro-,
ceeded, and Showing thatby is,terms<thes
United States were placed at a great disad-
vantage.

The Panama Canal.

The editor OF the Panama "Star and
Herald'" who is now in San Francisco.
has given some interesting particulars to
the press Of that city respecting the worl.
OF cutting the canal. He considers that
there IS no doubt as to the fact that the
canal will be dug to the water level bv
1892, and that at that date the waters OF
me Atlantic and Pacific will meet
through the great cut He does not
think that the canal viii be deep enough
Tor use at that time, perhaps two years
more being required to dredge to the nee
essary depth; but it viii be practically
completed at that date.

English Admiration of Mr.. Beeeher.

Mr.. Beecher's trip to Europe puts The
Brooklyn Union in mind Of that noted pull
pit orators tour in 1868. The Union, telling
of an address made by Mr.. Beecher of an
English town, adds: a big, burly English
man desired to shake hands with Mr..
Beecher, but the latter could not reach
him, and the Englishman cried: "Shake
my umbrella" at the same time pushing
it up toward him. Mr. Beecher complied
with the request, and, as he did so, the en-
thusiastic Englishman cried: by Jock!
nobody shall touch that umbrella again!"

The 'North German Gazette. " Prince
Bismarck's organ, is very much irritated
at the attitude of the Austrian press to-
ward the Bulgarian situation.
There is good authority for the state
ment that Lord Iddesieigh, British For
eign Secretary, is trying to effect an APP
prominent between Servia, Bulgaria
Greece and Turkey, and hopes that
Austria will favor such an alliance, the
formation of which is considered posi-
bic, owing to the necessity of uniting
against the common invader. 1t is
thought that the only serious difficulty
will be to induce Greece to join the al
lance

HiIls and YalIevs OF the Ocean.

\ A French geologist, NJ. de Lapparent,
lately called the attention of the Paris
geological society to the effect gravitation
has in heaping up sea-waters upon the
land. The continents are thus all situated
at the tops Of hills of water: and in cross
ing the Atlantic the ship has first to go
down hill, then 20 cross a valley, and
finally to climb another hill The calcula-
ton has been made that in mid-ocean the
surface may be more than half a mile
Q,000 metres) below the level it would
have if the continents exerted no attrac-
tion-Frank Leslie's.
